Stayed 1 night while on a 10 day road trip. Overall good for a night stay as a layover before moving on to our next destination. Had to checkin at a different property for some reason (High Country Lodge). Beds were comfortable but no breakfast.

I won’t stay anywhere else in Tahoe!
This place is simply amazing. The staff is super friendly and kind. They even had a hot tub. My main goal is to have something close and convenient to the ski resort. This fits the bill and the value for price is one of the best I’ve ever had. The room is cute, cozy clean, and has everything you need. The shower had hot water and it came fast. The heater worked really really well. Nice towels and bedding and across the street from a ridiculously good pizza place. The instructions and check-in was super easy. I don’t know why people are complaining or leaving a bad review. It’s literally about a four or five minute walk at most but obviously you’re gonna drive there. I definitely recommend.

Very good for my needs.
Yes, the room was small, but very clean, and the property was very quiet. Everything worked fine (frig, microwave, tv, wifi, shower, a/c, etc.).

Having to check in at a separate property was extremely stressful and inconvenient. My wife was very upset by this. Also no available front desk at some times of the day. Lastly the ice machine did not work. Hand written cardboard sign saying it needed to be repaired.
