Wonderful place!
Wonderful place! We went during Thanksgiving period. It was amazing experience! Totally love it. Beautiful cabin surrounded by snow all around. Enjoyed snow walking at the property. Roughly 30 minutes away from South lake Tahoe. It was our first experience in cabin and it was totally worth it. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend this place.

Great location. The restaurant is terrible but the room have full kitchen hence better to prepare yourself. And it’s cold at night, probably because we never used such furnace before

It was nice enough and what we expected with one MAJOR issue. The bed was basically a futon cushion on a low wood platform. My wife and I did not sleep well at all. The pillows were awful. If you are expecting camping conditions then it would work for you. The bed was not acceptable for the hotel price I paid.

Rustic Luxury
This hotel consists of rustic cabins with a restaurant. My cabin could not have been more comfortable and cozy. With a king size bed, gas fireplace, full kitchen and nice bathroom, it felt very luxurious. It would have been nice to have a microwave and the bathroom sink was really small. I also had to learn how to use a French press and couldn’t use the coffee I brought, but the little inconveniences were minor. I would gladly stay here again.
