Tall beautiful trees outside our window! Being able to sit in comfortable chairs outside our room and enjoy. Thank you! Public beach close by - would be nice to get the swimming pool fixed though... I know, it's costly, but for some of us "Oldies" Lake Tahoe is a bit chilly. But no complaints, many thanks!

Friendly and great location!

We were going to get in LATE (1am), Cody at the front desk was very accommodating and made the process so easy. The room was cute and had a coffee maker by the bedside. Great location for the event we attended.

It was ok. With the pictures I thought that a suite was a private cabin, but it is just a regular room with shared walls. It was fine, definitely on the rustic side, but it was on the charming side. I think I would try another place next time though.
