Summary: This is a hidden gem. Yes, it was outdated BUT given that I started coming to Tahoe in the early 80s, I actually really appreciated the older vibe. When I arrived the keys (actual keys) were waiting for me on the office and I was able to let myself in. I loved that. The room was tidy and clean. This place is DIRECTLY across from one of the last open access beaches on the north side of the lake AND it was right next door to several great dining options. I also loved that the 7/11 was next door so I could easily get drinks and snacks. As someone who loves to run, it was easy to find a trail in the neighborhood behind the lodge. Lastly, I loved the homey vibe. It was perfect for me as a solo traveler but I could also stay here with my husband and dogs.

Summary: I liked that it was in a really nice area, the beach was right across the street and was not busy. The room was pretty clean. It wasn’t the nicest place but I slept pretty comfortable, I wish they had ac . Overall I think for the price it was reasonable and we would actually go back . Thanks.

Summary: We needed a one night stay quick and this very reasonably priced place popped up and had one availability for the night we needed so I booked online. This place is small but centrally located and right across the street from Gar Woods, great restaurant. All said, nothing fancy at all. No blow dryer, no ironing board. Just very simple. Needs a remodel and paint job. The beds were comfortable. We are in our mid 60’s and I think younger folks would do well in a place like this b/c the price was very good. Oh, the man working at the desk was very nice.

Summary: Great location, close to lake access, restaurants and 7-11. The room was basic. Thin walls, could hear the neighbor snoring all night. Never got the wifi to work.

Summary: Only redeeming qualities are location and price. Arrived to check in and there was nobody to check in with. Phone calls went unanswered. Other people were waiting too. Waited around for 30 minutes and someone renting a room felt sorry for us and gave us the cell phone number for the person who works tje office, but no answer. An hour and a half after arriving, we finally get a call. Finally get a room and immediately regret it. Bathroom had ants and a funky smell (like cat pee). TV didn't work. No ac so the only way to get air moving is the window. Pillows were flat and musty. Thank goodness it was only one night.
