The staff was absolutely amazing and so helpful. I would stay here just for the customer service. The downside is the walls are thin. We didn’t sleep well because we were next to a room with a baby. We could hear it very loud.
The first room we opened the door and it hadn't been cleaned yet. They gave us a different room to which the code on the door would never work. The cleaning lady finally gave us a different code which worked. There was a party going on outside and was very loud until 1:00am. We had a hard time going to sleep because of it. It was Sat. night people were having fun, that's fine, we get it. We liked the location.

Reasonable place to stay . Very dog friendly.
Room was clean & small . Nothing fancy but good . Pool & pool area seem not in use anymore.
Wonderful place to stay. Only thing I would change would be opportunity to turn off bright light on outside of door. So bright I had very hard time sleeping.
Very nice place.
Also would be cool if there were hooks for towels in bathroom, but we made it work without that.
The outdoor area was really cool. I wish we could have stayed for a barbeque out there. Nice beautiful area with pine trees located between a hamburger place & Mexican restaurant. Walking distance! The manager - just amazing! Called on my check-in and helped with every need! Great place! Don't believe the negative Nellie's & Ned's on here. It's like a cabin atmosphere, not the Taj mahal!!!! Some are never happy. They can go to the fancier place for twice as much. It was pricey for me here, but next time, I will call directly, and not go online to book. (Sorry this is so long). Oh! Staff is amazing too!!! So helpful & kind!!! One let us look into the bigger place across from us. With bigger kitchen area. I would certainly stay here again!! Huzzah!
Staff was super kind and location is nice. Walls are thin and we could hear everything next door, when the heater runs it’s loud and woke us up during the night.
Relaxing location, less traffic noise, room was comfortable and cozy, and the manager very pleasant, helpful and kind we look forward to our return stay in August.
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!!!
Clean place, small room but perfect for a night stay. Small fridge with microwave. Overall happy for cleanliness and price!

Great location and clean room. The only issue was the walls were paper thin. We could hear everything our neighbors said and were kept up all night our first night.

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
