Elevation Lodge was a pleasant surprise — comfy beds, and a cool, updated vibe. Loved being just minutes from the lake and village. It’s a fresh take on Tahoe lodging without losing that cozy feel. Would definitely stay again!

I was really disappointed with my stay at Elevation Lodge. The room was not clean — the floor was dirty, and the towel in the restroom still had someone else’s hair on it. There was also a bad smell in the room that didn’t go away. The toilet looked old and seemed to have plumbing issues. When I checked out, I mentioned all of this to the receptionist. He said he would let the manager team know, and while I believe he did his best, it felt like a useless response with no real resolution. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this place based on my experience.
