The room was clean and quiet, which made our stay very comfortable. The staff were also very friendly. It would be even better if a handheld shower head could be added, as it would make bathing kids much more convenient.

The location is fantastic. We had a great stay because we could walk everywhere, to the Lake, Sylva restaurant, Lighthouse Spa, Za's Pizza. The room was fine, but pretty basic, not as nice as the South Lake Tahoe Basecamp. It was great to have a fire pit in the evenings.
