Never had a cabin with a full kitchen before, especially one fully equipped with all the dishes, and cookware you could need! The place was so cozy, quiet, and clean. The staff were also more than accommodating as my partner and I tried everything while we were there: the private sauna, the campfire pit, and visiting the lake out back. This place would be great for those looking to explore nature and enjoy the quiet while still being 30min from South Lake Tahoe. There were also a few trailheads nearby for those who love to hike. Overall a great relaxing stay!

2 Tesla charging stations at hotel. One for older teslas as well

The room was romantic and cozy! Loved the bath tub! The first snow fall for the year made it such a cute and cozy stay. The restaurant and sauna were both nice ammenities on site. It's a place I would love enjoying a nice getaway again, summer, fall or winter!

We had a great stay, the beds and bedding were lovely. The only thing the kitchen was missing was a toaster but other wise was well appointed. Would recommend booking your sauna appointment when you check in as we did have a hard time finding availability. The staff were helpful and fit us in the morning we left amd let us do a noon che k out. Will def be back if we can snag th r same great rate!

Our little cabin ‘Foxtail’ was perfect! This was a last minute getaway to a place we have always wanted to visit! We had the most wonderful experience! The cabin albeit small, had everything you could need and more! The bed was comfy, the room was warm and peaceful, there was a full kitchen w/ stove, mini fridge and sink! The bathroom was tiny but just right and the shower was nice and hot! We walked around the small resort grounds and found many little gathering areas some with beautiful fire pits surrounded by Adirondack chairs! We had a delicious drink at their bar as well as a chicken pot pie and Bavarian pretzel from the restaurant all within steps of our cottage! We can’t wait to go back!

We showed up to this beautiful resort to see the fall colors, it did not disappoint. We stayed in a yurt next to the river, it was glorious! Dog friendly was a plus. We will be back!

Location was perfect! Staff was amazing. I had an issue but they were so quick to remedy, it really didn’t feel like an issue at all. Very pet friendly, so if you are in doubt about bringing your furry friend, don’t. It’s a great place for them too. Not to mention kids. I will add, I think the best part was the fact that they still had a diner and bar open even through a Holiday. That was a major plus.

Everything was very nice and my wife and I had a relaxing stay. The fall colors were out in full glory and temprature was 29 degrees which was nice waking up to. We have stayed here before and will continue to do so.

Everything is perfect. The scenary around was amazing. Some houses have Christmas light decoration likes those on postcard. Our family had such a great time! The only thing I would mention is that the loft with king bed is very warm even with the window half open compare to the room downstairs. If we turn off the heat, the room downstairs will be a little chilly. But we get the small heater in the downstairs room to warm it up so it’s all good. Will definitely be returning.
