Great weekend getaway spot.

Nice cabin just on the Main Street with everything nearby. Was initially a little disappointed that it had no AC, but at night it cools down to 65-68 with the windows cracked and fans on so it ended up being no big deal. Overall very nice for a good weekend getaway.

Almost great

We stayed here and went skiing at Sierra at Tahoe. Great location, Convenient to restaurants and Sierra. Extremely convenient parking right in front of the door. Nice interior. Kids loved the bunkbeds. Nicely decorated and renovated. Only complaints related to noise: the walls are thin and you can easily hear the guests in the next room. Also, the heater is noisy and makes banging noises which woke me up. The kids slept fine and it is their favorite place to stay in Southlake Tahoe.

Overall the cabin and stay were great, very comfortable and updated. My only complaint was the walls are too thin, the family staying next to us were pretty loud late at night and really early in the morning. We were woken up at 5am because of the chatter.

I love how it’s close to everything from Tube tahoe and other surrounding stores even a community hospital. It wasn’t what I saw from the photos but a great place to stay for 2 adults and 2 kids. We had the ease of checking in early (with additional fee of course) but it kept us warm and cozy during an expected snow rain. Thank you Emerald Bay Village! Will definitely come back again!

Emerald Bay Village cabin

Kind a cute place, nicely decorated cabin. Centrally located in Emerald Bay village. Taking a shower however was another story. The shower designed made it very difficult to have a shower without bumping onto the shower faucet.

Sour Tahoe Mini Resort with Cabins

Great gem in South Lake Tahoe, close to dining (Elmers and the Y restaurants/Cuppa Tahoe) and Raleys. Convenient to I-50 and exploring S Tahoe. Loved our two bedroom cabin with kitchenette. Comfy. Clean. Nice extras like coffee and tea, creamers etc, toaster, microwave and mini fridge made for ability to “cook” basics and store leftovers, extra blankets, bedside “white noise machines” and ceiling fans made rooms cozy for sleeping. Loved that they supplied shampoo/conditioner and hairdryer as extra touches, plus roomy closets and comfy beds with lots of pillows. Outside shared seating area with bbq and games like cornhole, made for nice spot to hang out under the trees. Definitely will stay again!

This property was an absolute game changer for our family. With 3 teens that covet their privacy, this cabin worked perfectly. Very easy access and parking. It was clean, cozy and beautifully furnished. It is within walking distance to numerous great food options, including an artisan pizza place. Also a grocery store if you want to make your own meals. The fully equipped kitchen was fantastic! It had everything we needed and more. The 3 bedroom family cabin was very spacious, plenty of room for a family of five. It was so relaxing! There is minor road noise but it felt more like a pattern of white noise and wasn’t distracting. We loved the experience at this property so much it has changed how we will plan our vacations from now on!

Very nice, well-stocked, clean, compact room in a great location, but... upcharges. No staff on site and electronic check-in was a pain. Especially as the wifi was spotty during check-in, and for most of the night. And I was able to report on the wifi for most of the night, as the bed aggravated my backaches, and I could barely sleep. Im sure others have had a better experience, but I myself wont be back.

Normally enjoy staying in hotels for the convenience but saw this and decided to take the jump. It was a nice experience overall but I feel like they could’ve done a better job cleaning the room. I noticed 2-3 spider webs (big ones so they didn’t look newly formed) which I understand since it’s a cabin and close to nature. But when I saw spiders (5-6) crawling in my bed it made me uncomfortable. I had to go out and get some bug spray to get rid and feel somewhat comfortable sleeping. If bugs bother you a lot I would avoid it according to my experience, if not it’s a different experience. Closely located to a lot of food/convenience stores. Parking was easy. Check in and check out process was almost seamless, overall 4/5

Variable experiences

We have stayed at Emerald Bay Village several times. My kids love the bunkbeds and the room is clean and comfortable. Previously, the only issue had been noise from adjoining rooms, given how thin the walls are. It entirely depends on who is in the adjacent room in terms of how much your night and sleep could be disrupted. On this most recent visit, the people in the next room had a group of friends staying and playing games loudly until past midnight. Another issue we had on this most recent stay was that the heater stopped working for about a day. I messaged the property contact person several times about this and received no response whatsoever. In the end I reset the Internet connection of the wall thermostat and the heater started working again. I had also informed the property contact person of the noise the night before. I did not receive responses about these issues. I would say that if there are no issues during your stay and you have no need for anything to be fixed and the people in the next room are not making noise late into the night, you will be satisfied with your stay. Final issue is that there is a keypad on the door lock and you get in with a code. They do not seem to be changing these codes over time, as we had the same code on two trips separated by about a year. So anyone who has stayed in that room in the past is able to get in with the same code. This seems like a suboptimal situation and a potential security risk.
