Absolutely love this place and will be back! It is adorable and the perfect location to walk to the lake (literally steps behind your cabin), to Fire Sign Cafe for breakfast, West Shore market for lunch sandwiches, Sunnyside for dinner, Shadyside for drinks, you name it! Very walkable, perfect location and excellent cottage with the sweetest people running it. 10/10 ![Steps away from your cottage is the lake!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/EACB5EDDB1C35E3C9395EE471C7FFBD41B5322541719262461286.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/76EE9A5E5B3DDDD9F851A081FE021A88EF10A63A1719262458974.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kelsey Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Bryce 14 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Terrific cottages. They're small, but serve their purpose. It would be hard to stay for an extended period of time. The staff was terrific; breakfast was outstanding and something we looked forward to every morning. Just a short 50-yard walk to the shore of Lake Tahoe--what a beautiful spot. My only complaint of the entire experience was traffic noise which was very noticeable in the compound common area (we couldn't hear the traffic from our cottage), but I don't know what you do about that. It was the 4th of July for our stay, so the street were busy. I'm assuming most spots near the lake are going to have traffic noise because the street is pretty close to the lake the entire way around. ##### Bryce Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dennis 10 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Room had a lot of noise from the highway adjacent to the hotel. Also the bathrooms were very small. Otherwise the room was very cute and quaintly decorated with a mountain decor. Also the carpet in the room was very beat up. ##### Dennis Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 20 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A true gem! Highly recommend The Cottage Inn! This is an absolute gem! Our room was really small but worked perfect for us - very cozy and comfortable. The included breakfast they bring to your room each morning was some of the best food we've ever had from a "hotel". The entree is made in-house and was fabulous! You choose which items you want from a list (hardboiled egg, granola/yogurt/orange juice/entree/pastry) and it came during the timeframe we requested and was presented in a cute little box. Seriously, the breakfast was wonderful! I believe you can also eat in the main lodge where you check in but we had it brought to our room. Austin, who checked us in, was super nice and told us about a great restaurant (Shady Side) that is walking distance and their food was off the hook. Also their drinks were really strong and really good! Trust him when he tells you its walking distance; it's much easier/faster than driving the 300 ft. or whatever it is and trying to find parking. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harrison 29 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 10/10 The staff were so friendly, the location was amazing, and the rooms were so comfortable! 100% will return ##### Harrison Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Lemon Tree Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-Lemon-Tree-Inn.h966170.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Escondido-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-The-Welk.h59916.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Loma Beach Hotel (formerly The Inn at Laguna Beach)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Laguna-Beach-Hotels-Inn-At-Laguna-Beach.h7446.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hoxton Downtown LA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-THE-Hoxton-Downtown-LA.h36712437.Hotel-Information) > > [The Commerce Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Hotel-Los-Angeles-Commerce-Casino.h533227.Hotel-Information) > > [Palihouse West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Palihouse-West-Hollywood.h13072.Hotel-Information) > > [FOUND Hotels, Santa Monica, Series by Marriott](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-FOUND-Los-Angeles-Santa-Monica.h41510539.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Alton Fisherman's Wharf by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Kimpton-Alton-Hotel-Fishermans-Wharf.h1047.Hotel-Information) > > [Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Sir-Francis-Drake-Hotel.h15254.Hotel-Information) > > [The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-London-West-Hollywood-At-Beverly-Hills.h21097.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pierside Santa Monica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Pierside-Santa-Monica.h2094.Hotel-Information) > > [Basecamp South Lake Tahoe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Basecamp-South-Lake-Tahoe.h1086847.Hotel-Information) > > [Inn On The Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ventura-Hotels-Inn-On-The-Beach.h4217253.Hotel-Information) > > [ The Hollywood Franklin Hotel near Universal Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Adler-A-Hollywood-Hills-Hotel.h9761.Hotel-Information) > > [Alma San Diego Downtown, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Alma-San-Diego-Downtown.h2133509.Hotel-Information) > > [Corque Hotel, Solvang, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-Hotel-Corque.h67460.Hotel-Information) > > [CCBC Resort Hotel - A Gay Men's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-CCBC-Resort-Hotel-A-Gay-Mens-Resort.h1654482.Hotel-Information) > > [Magic Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Magic-Castle-Hotel.h27297.Hotel-Information) > > [The Beverly Hills Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Beverly-Hills-Hotel-Dorchester-Collection.h12057.Hotel-Information) > > [Premier Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakland-Hotels-Premier-Inn-Suites.h98374288.Hotel-Information) > > [Disneyland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneyland-Hotel.h15276.Hotel-Information) > > [Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Grand-Californian-Hotel-And-Spa.h692655.Hotel-Information) > > [The Viv Hotel, Anaheim, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-The-Viv-Hotel.h50907370.Hotel-Information) > > [Bide-A-Wee Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Bide-A-Wee-Inn.h3520260.Hotel-Information) > > [The Prospect Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Whitley-Hollywood.h42644328.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Delfina-Santa-Monica.h12942.Hotel-Information) > > [Pixar Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Paradise-Pier-Hotel.h9503.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Caza.h38249309.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Petit Pali Brentwood West Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Le-Petit-Pali-Brentwood.h893085.Hotel-Information) ---
