    comfortable beds
    great price
    convenient downtown
    slow wi-fi

    Had a great time with friends! The beds were comfortable, and the price was better than other places. We explored recreational activities like swimming and water skiing, which were super fun. Plus, it’s convenient to downtown, making it easy to get to restaurants and shops. I recommend this spot to anyone looking for a casual getaway with pals.

    One downside was the slow Wi-Fi connection, which was quite frustrating at times during our stay.

    accommodating staff
    mountain view
    plumbing issues

    great stay , but minor issues

    The location is perfect for accessing nearby trails and attractions. The value for the price is excellent, especially since it’s a dog-friendly place. Amy at the office was incredibly accommodating and made us feel right at home. The mountain view from our room added a relaxing touch to our stay.

    There was a slight hiccup with the plumbing that took a bit longer to resolve than expected.

    cabin vibe
    spacious hot tub
    close to attractions
    cleanliness issues
    maintenance concerns

    Our stay was primarily for some outdoor activities, and I was impressed with how close everything was to popular spots like the Heavenly Village Ice Rink and other attractions. The decor gave off a cozy cabin vibe, perfect for relaxing after a day out. I particularly liked the spacious hot tub in our room, which was great for unwinding. The location made exploring South Lake Tahoe a breeze, with shops and dining just a short walk away.

    cozy suite
    helpful staff
    great facilities
    cleanliness issues
    bug concerns

    Had a cozy stay in the Deluxe Suite with Spa Bath. The spa facilities were great after a long day exploring. Enjoyed the flat-screen TV and the convenience of a microwave. The staff, especially Amy, was incredibly helpful with tips for local attractions. However, I noticed the cleanliness could be improved, especially in the corners where I spotted some mold. I encountered a few bugs during my stay, which was quite concerning. Also, the heater had some issues initially but was eventually fixed by the staff while I was out. The location is excellent, making it easy to access downtown. Overall, the friendly vibe made up for the minor inconveniences.

    Staying here with my family and mum was a blast! The location was perfect for quick trips to the lake, and our kids loved the endless recreational activities. Amy from the office made us feel right at home, always ready with helpful tips.
