Beautiful property-very clean, super soft beds. The friendly staff was attentive and sweet. We Loved the breakfast! Yummy granola, a main dish, good seized juice, fruit delicately cut up, it was very filling! The property at night is breathtaking with the lighting. The bedding was oh so soft with crisp sheets that had a hint of lavender. The pillows were huge and so comfortable! They stacked our room with plenty of coffee and there were darling little nooks and cranny’s to put your stuff away.

The cabin we stayed in was upstairs and closest to the road, so we heard heavy traffic in the early morning which made it hard to sleep. We had kept our windows open because there was no AC, it was well over 90 degrees when we stayed. The toilet in our room had issues with flushing, the maintenance guy took care of it and it worked for a day, but then stopped working again. Even though we heard traffic through the windows, our door upstairs didn’t face the road and was more private.

The breakfast was amazing and very filling! The rooms were super cute and the bed was really comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this for people traveling without children. The access to the beach area was super convenient and clean and beautiful. Close to places to rent kayaks, bikes and paddle boards.

No complaints

I'm pretty picky when I pick hotels and cabins. When I'm in a forest I always go for whatever gives me the most cottage core vibe and the ratings also said about great breakfest quality so we picked this. It's more expensive than I usually go for but the quality that came with it made everything sooooo worth it. The moment I pulled up day one I knew I made a good choice. And the breakfest is homemade every day and is different each day!!! I recommend this place to any and everyone. It will be worth your time and money ❤️❤️❤️

I didn't dislike anything

The breakfasts were awesome and yummy. We ate on lodge deck with sun shining on us and with the beautiful landscape areas it was wonderful. This was our 50th anniversary and Gail at front desk went out of her way to reserve a table for us at Swiss Landing(?) Food was indescribable!! Wished we could have just moved in there.

I can't think of anything

the location on the lake is amazing- the cottages are adorable and the setting is so cozy and mountain-like! breakfast was delicious and the bed was comfortable

the room we had was tiny- very well outfitted and good storage, but tiny. and the coffee maker in the room didn’t work properly- even tho they were so sweet and changed it out. luckily it’s walking distance to an awesome coffee shop at the Westside Market.

It was our 21st anniversary and we were looking for a getaway and while searching on booking.com i found this place and booked it. By looking at the pictures the room was looking great. Although when we arrive at location, the room was a little too small for us and end up spending one night in the room. Unfortunately, we were not happy with the room because of our special occasion. As it was our anniversary we were looking for something special, so we talked to the property owner and explained the situation. Kelly immediately understand our situation and give us an option to look for another room which we fell in love immediately and spend the next night there. Kelly and Haul (hope I am saying the name correctly) were the most awesome person of this property. They are kind, understanding, and generous. Will be going back again to this lovely place. Homemade Breakfast was really good everyday!

The privacy of the rooms was great and the fireplace kept the cottage warm and cozy. The breakfasts were fantastic, great quiches , granola was so yummy and pastries as well. Appreciated the delivery service to the rooms. Staff provided excellent dinner recommendations and we enjoyed fantastic food all around.

Bed was too hard, but he linens were clean and kept us warm considering the cold weather. The bathrooms however were a little too tiny. No leg room for my husband. The floors were either not swept or cleaned and it was difficult to not track stuff into the bed from our bare feet.

Love the ambiance. Cozy! The cottage was super clean, we took our UV light & didn't spot anything. Floor was super clean too.

Lights above the spa tub didn't work. Asked if they could fix them, but didn't happen during our 2 night stay. Use caution with public spa tubs anyways LOL other than that very clean!

The hosts were very kind and willing to go the extra mile and gave plenty of accurate and thoughtful recommendations. Very charming setup, especially during the holiday season. Well insulated and heated cottages with ample of space, good beds, pillows and nice bathrooms. Very close to Lake Tahoe (walking distance).

Relatively close to the road.

The owner is very friendly and clearly has put a lot of thought into making everything comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious, customized as per our requests, beautifully packaged, and delivered hot to our room at the requested time, where we enjoyed it on a folding table and chairs. Our room had a coffee maker, refrigerator, and ironing board, and we were given a tea kettle on request. There's a great market and deli a 3-minute walk away.
