“Upscale kitchen and bathroom fixtures, quality toiletries, luxury bed linens.”
Karl

“House was clean and in great condition and staff were responsive with questions.”
Annalise
United States United States
“All the details are right. Super cozy cabins (beds and linens more comfortable than at home, which is usually not the case at hotels!) and great amenities. The restaurant on site was great and we had a fantastic time here with 2 small kids.”
Julia
United States United States
“Updated rooms, design, appliances (Dyson hair dryer!), access to sauna and free snowshoes. There were only cast iron pans - which could be good or bad, depending on your preference.”
Antony

“Good location twenty minutes from either South Lake Tahoe or Kirkwood, very comfortable and spacious cabins”
Derrick
United States United States
“Amazing amenities, great service and softest bed! Once I posted my pics online, my friends from all over were asking where this was! Couldn't have been happier with my stay. A perfect night under the stars in a yurt, serenity at its finest.”
Rosa

“The cabin was super clean and had everything that you would need (plates, cups, water, and coffee). Even with how cold it was outside, it stayed warm and cozy inside. It was nice that the cafe was just a walk outside the cabin.”
