Ed was very friendly and welcoming upon arrival. The room was much bigger than we expected, and had a microwave and mini fridge. It's right across from a public beach and pier which was beautiful, there is also a restaurant. We also enjoyed the cafe down the street for breakfast. Great proximity to Northstar, we will definitely stay here again!

I couldn’t get to the hotel, because of the snowstorm, and I tried to contact the hotel and I tried to contact Expedia, and there was no possible way to contact either of you. I was so frustrated. I just gave us and paid the price, but it was very very disheartened. There were phone numbers and always. I got with an endless ringing phone and no possibility of leaving a message and Expedia has no way absolutely no way to reach them. I’m done with both.

Overall, we had a good experience here. The lodge is strategically located in Carnelian Bay, where we could have a beautiful view of Tahoe just with a 5 minutes walk. There were also convenient store and laundry nearby. The only downside was the slight smell of the old property, and the place could feel quite stuffy in summer.

First time in Tahoe

Rather retro, but the owner is super friendly. He met us when we arrived. The room is old but has everything we need. Lake Tahoe beach and an upscale restaurant are right across the street.
