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.

Nice place!

Cute little cottages and close to the beach. Our only complaints were that the stove, oven and toaster didn’t work and our key to the pool didn’t work.

Need to know for summer. No AC's

No relief from the heat! No AC! No canopies or tents are allowed. I understand, no room, but they don't provide umbrellas either. Just a little investing can provide more comfort for your clients during summertime. Only relief was sitting outside at night. Car by day and out of the room by noon due to heat in July. I didn't know and should have read more. The pictures had me booking quick. So again, place is really nice, just not good for a couple wanting relief from the heat. Kids would have loved it, Im sure. Just don't know how their night would hand gone. Uncomfortable beds too. Surprised me considering how much a night. Know you are paying for the location NOT comforts. City is busy as hell on the street too! No elevator NO ice machine NO room service. If you are OK with cooling off in the water ALL DAY. You will be okay. Location is what is the winner here. Steps away from the water. Inside was clean. Saving grace was the fan in the closet.

It has a nice peer that goes into the water. NO AC and no restaurants walking distance only a pizzeria and a high class Steak House that you need reservations for it. There are just few cabins by the water and you need to cross the busy road for the others. I reserved thinking I’ll be by the water… not the case

Misleading stay-even if you book a beachside room it won’t necessarily be one of the ones right on the beach, a lot of the rooms are in motel style buildings that weren’t facing the beach. Outdated carpet, decor, ect in some of them and others are very updated. The beach is very rocky not much sand.

Our cottage was just steps to Lake Tahoe! Comfortable for four. A few maintenance projects; a few small holes in the wall in the bathroom; new blinds on all the windows. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook. However, we had a gas leek from the stove. We were gone one day for about 10 hours and when we arrived back to our cottage, the gas smell was overwhelming! Had that been at night, we would have been in trouble! Called the office and someone came immediately to fix it. Rest of the stay was great.
