It's always nice to be pleasantly suprised w accomodations when travelling and not disappointed while on vacation. This place for the price is a "hidden" gem in Tahoe. Everything from the front desk ladies, Jennifer and Rose w their welcoming warm vibes and customer service, to the quality of the room, and especially the Kitchennette -all contributed to a positive experience here. I will most definitely consider coming back to this lodge for the next trip. Oh and free washer & dryer amenities for the win! That was super convenient and appreciated. My only critique is the Queen bed- seemed a bit small, and also the mattress can maybe be upgraded in the future, but I knew the size when booking, and I am also used to my giant Cali-King. There was an additional queen sofa bed we could have used, but after the 1st night we became accustomed to the bed, and it did not cause any loss of sleep. Overall very satisfied w this stay!
