We were pleasantly surprised when we walked into the studio cottage. It was very clean, kitchen was well stocked with nice quality dishwater & cookware. You can tell the care that was put into everything in the space, nothing was old or outdated. We will definitely be staying here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The property was clean, well-maintained, and located in a very convenient spot. One of the highlights was the lovely area by the lake – perfect for relaxing or just enjoying the view.
Our room was a bit noisy since it was right next to the road, but the staff was incredibly helpful and responsive. They quickly offered a quieter room for us.
We appreciated the excellent service. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful property. Peaceful stay. Read the fine print though and make sure if you book it expecting beach front that you be careful to select it…we almost didn’t get a beach front we were expecting because of expedias description but staff was awesome and worked with us. Beautiful comfy cozy place to stay

Great little place. Had everything I needed, and was clean! Would definitely stay again. My only two issues: stove wasn’t working so they provided a small hot plate, which was fine. And I went to the front desk at 5PM, but they were closed already (said hours were until 5:30PM). Overall would definitely recommend.

This place is beautiful but choose lakeview side but not all of them have the view because if not you’ll be sent Cross the road to mountain way , is clean , comfortable beds the only issue is the few dishes and pants to cook literally for two people only but it’s rent for more so be aware , great location and polite staff

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
