10/10 Excellent
Wonderful stay at the Cedar Glen Lodge.
The room was as described, clean and comfortable.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, providing us information about good hiking trails and things to due during our stay.
Location was excellent, just across the road from the lake and a short drive from the local Safeway and several restaurants.
Would definitely recommend staying here if you are visiting Lake Tahoe

Red Wolf Lakeside Lodge is located on the shore of North Lake Tahoe. Unlike South Lake Tahoe the north shore is much quieter. Red Wolf Lodge is beautiful with a nice rustic feel. These are really suites with two separate bedrooms, a sitting area and fully kitted out kitchen. The sitting area and both bedrooms have TV's and video players and there is an ipod dock available also. There didn't seem to be any air conditioning but there is a ceiling fan and the windows are screened so it was...

Perfect place to stay in ideal location. We stayed in one of the mountainside lodges, which was great as just a walk across the road to the beach. Private beach was lovely, it wasn't too busy so lots of choice where to sit. Pool area was good and staff were very friendly and helpful. Had everything we needed in the kitchen area. Only downside was the fridge was very noisy and we had to turn it off at night as it was difficult to sleep with the noise. Other than that very comfortable and would be...

A wonderful find! The house is beautiful, the rooms are large and very elegantly decorated and it’s quiet and has a rural feel despite being in the hub of things.

Incredible location right in the heart of town, just a 2-minute walk to the beautiful Lake Tahoe beach. The rooms were spacious, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
The hot tub and heated pool were amazing after a long day of walking, and a real highlight was the open fire area where they provided free s’mores kits. It created a lovely atmosphere and we ended up chatting with other travellers and had a great time.

Wow! The view of the lake is unbeatable.
Really enjoyed sunsets at the heated pool and hot tub.
There were lots of lovely little touches that helped make the hotel special, including a really great spa and salon. I strongly recommend morning yoga, again the view is just unbelievable.
The only disappointment was the food. We ordered breakfast at the coffee bar one morning. My chocolate croissant had been heated on something which meat had clearly been heated on too - it smelled really bad & ...
