Cozy little base for Tahoe adventures. Can walk to local places. Quick drive to most things on North shore. Nice beach area and dock to walk out on. Stayed in a room but would look into lakeside cabin next trip

Comfortable, quiet room in a pine forest setting. Other rooms are beachside on Lake Tahoe. Nice pool, beach, dock, sand volleyball, and great views.

Staff were very friendly. The room I stayed in was SO cute and updated (not sure if they're all like that) but it was great having a full kitchen, stocked with anything you needed, like even the dishwasher pods. The bed was extremely comfortable. I stayed on the forest side, so it was across the street from the main building and lake. Everything about my stay was wonderful including the location. I would definitely recommend staying here.

So cute!
Stayed here for one night. Cute studio cabin duplex. Tiny stove with oven. Tiny dishwasher and fridge. It was small but had everything we needed. And steps from the shoreline. Loved it!

Cute little cottages and close to the beach. Our only complaints were that the stove, oven and toaster didn’t work and our key to the pool didn’t work.
