Nice place to stay. The Rubicon room was perfect(included a microwave, fridge/freezer and sink). Housekeeping as needed. Quiet, no issues. Within walking distance to shops, restaurants and casinos. Would definitely book again if in the area.

We were there in August. The room we had didn't have air conditioning. We walked in the room was at 80 degrees and at night it was 84 degrees. We couldn't sleep at all that night.

The room we stayed in (one of the larger ones) needed better lighting in the kitchen, living room and dining areas and an update in decor throughout. The style and quality did not match that of the photographs on the website. Also, the website indicated that "small plates" were available in the evening but only snacks like potato chips are offered. The staff at the inn were not very knowledgeable about things to do in the area. If it is a first-time visit to Lake Tahoe and the surrounding region, advice on the various activities and places to visit would make guests' stay more enjoyable. The restaurants recommended by the inn also need better vetting. We quickly learned that Tahoe is not a foodie destination and better recommendations would have bee appreciated to avoid disappointing dining experiences.

We absolutely loved our room. So cozy, clean, and updated! The fireplace made my morning, every morning. Main lodge is adorable with happy hour and lots of spots to sit and enjoy nature. We loved the location, a bit off the main drag but still incredibly close to all amenities. Would recommend to anyone visiting Tahoe looking for a cozy place to stay!
