Cute and quaint place. Odd, all contact with staff was via text or phone, never saw anyone from staff. It worked though. Very responsive. Note. Ceiling fans really need to be dusted

The hot water in the bathroom sink was anything but hot. Luke warm at best. Hot water in kitchen sink and bathroom had to be turned on for a good 7-10 minutes before getting hot. Also the Wifi was very "spotty".

Good, potentially great!

The room was clean, and the mana was amazing! The only complaint we have was that the shower knob came off, and the water pressure and temperature was dependent on the other rooms! Good stay, with the potential to be amazing!!!

LOVE IT!

By far one of the best places we’ve stayed at in Lake Tahoe! What made it even more convenient was the fact that we had a stovetop so we saved so much money on going out to eat! Staff was very friendly and so was the front desk manager! I would definitely recommend staying here again!!!

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!

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.
