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

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!

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.

When we arrived at our room, we immediately checked to make sure everything worked. We had no electricity at all. We called the office and they said they would send someone over. After about 15 min., someone came and said the circuit breaker was tripped. After it was turned back on, we had no issues with the electricity, at all. We stayed at the end of the mountainside studios, so it was quiet and more peaceful. Our unit was clean and nicely updated. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. A great plus for management! We have stayed at multiple places in the Tahoe City/Tahoe Vista area, and usually we don't return to any of them because we didn't like them enough or had problems that weren't rectified. We would stay here again.

The property is older if you stay on the woods side. Seems like the rooms could be re-vamped a bit for the price and we lost electricity for 12 hours without any apology from the the owners. Seems it is a mixture between privately owned places and places for the hotel. Great beach and location. Just unsure if it is worth the cost.

Proceed with caution!
First the positives: great location, beautiful beach and lake views, friendly staff! The negatives: extremely small and uncomfortable room, the bed and chair. Miserable! When I say small think cruise ship cabin. NO AC! Very old property. Floors were dirty. We stayed in unit 16 and NEVER AGAIN. I think if you have a water front unit you are good. You get off of the waterfront and it it sketch!

Below average
No AC and it was so hot in the room. Fans don’t really work and couldn’t open windows because of the bears. Beds were horrendous! My husband moved and I felt like I was going to get bounced off the bed. Our kids had twins in the living area but super uncomfortable. Shower lever didn’t work right, but it was good water pressure. Cable went out for the evening so couldn’t watch tv. Won’t stay there again.
