This Was a Family trip. The beds were comfy but the roof was very loud at Night like this sound of rats Running over the roof. But it wasn’t rats, it Was the snowstorm. Dropping big amounts of Snow on the roof. So we weren't able to sleep pretty well in the middle of the night. The staff was really Nice From the Desk Man to the housekeepers. I will stay here again, but not when it’s raining or Snowing

LOVE IT!

By far one of the best places we’ve stayed at in Lake Tahoe! What made it even more convenient was the fact that we had a stovetop so we saved so much money on going out to eat! Staff was very friendly and so was the front desk manager! I would definitely recommend staying here again!!!

Cody and the crew are rockstars. Everyone on staff was more than happy to help with any questions or needs that came up for my wife and I. The grounds are very nice as well. The room itself was just fine for us. We found it plenty clean and comfortable. We’re pretty low maintenance so if you’d need more than a warm room, a bed, a tv, and a hot shower, this might not be the place for you. There’s some good eats in walking distance (we went to Margaritas and the Burger Lounge) along with a 7/11 and a cool thrift store about a block away. Oh and this place is pet friendly too! This was the second time we’ve stayed here and we’re sold. Thanks!

Good, potentially great!

The room was clean, and the mana was amazing! The only complaint we have was that the shower knob came off, and the water pressure and temperature was dependent on the other rooms! Good stay, with the potential to be amazing!!!
