Beautiful property almost on the lake with private access. We had the cowboy romance room which is very spacious and comfortable. Great staff, breakfast delivered every morning to each cottage. Excellent deli and market right next to the property with amazing food and drinks. Restaurants nearby and tahoe city 5 min drive. All in all 10/10 property. Wish it was pet friendly. That’s the only downside.

Room was overall good. Wasnt loud at all considering we had neighbors on both sides. Bathroom was small but fine for the weekend. The water temperature and pressure was great. Bed was comfy. Maybe invest in more modern tv and channels. Other than that my only complaint would be the corners of the room have clearly never been vaccumed. But everything else was perfect. We appreciated the free breakfast, definitely better than other hotel breakfasts.
