Cedar Glen Lodge

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

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. Would definitely recommend staying here!

The Americana Village

10/10 Excellent

Superb, clean, spacious and well equipped apartment. Ideal for a couple but still OK if you have a couple of kids as well. King bed and double sofa bed. Kitchenette with m/wave, fridge/freezer, toaster and cooking facilities if you want to use them. Nice pool with little spa. Free coffee and popcorn all day from reception. Recommend room 422, upper floor, away from the pool and close to the breakfast place. Also looks very recently refurbished.
