Good location but room was rundown and dirty. Will look for a different place to stay next time I stay in Tahoe.

The location of this place is excellent and they let me bring my dog. It is a small drive up lodge on the shores of Lake Tahoe, minutes from food, kayaking, beaches. The price is right and the owner/manager is very accommodating if you arrive after he is gone, makes arrangements for access with no problems. It is clean, but not spotless - we didn't see anything frightening, and there were real wine glasses. It is simple, not fancy, could perhaps use an upgrade in decor and linens, but you definitely get your money's worth. It is a secret hideaway on North Lake Tahoe.

Comment from Hotel Management

2 Aug. 2017 by Joyce with TNSL.

Thank you for coming to see us. As far as the motel being dirty well, it is not! People always assumes that our motel is dirty because it is old. There is definitely a difference. Also, the price of our motel is a good price. If you do want a new motel maybe you should go to a brand new hotel and pay the price that they are asking. Thank You
