Hyatt Vacation Club at Northstar Lodge, Lake Tahoe

10/10 Excellent

"First time staying at North Star. The King studio was awesome. The kitchenette was furnished with top notch appliances and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Parking under building inside out of the elements. Short walk for shopping and restaurants. Will definitely stay here again !"

The Village at Palisades Tahoe

8/10 Good

"Condo was a great size. Separate bedroom. A few things needed attention; kitchen faucet was in bad shape. Door handle came off to outside deck, but was quickly replaced. Quite a few restaurants and stores were closed, but this is not the busy season. A lot of construction going on, again getting ready for the winter season"

Pepper Tree Inn

8/10 Good

"We were hesitant at first after we read all the bad reviews but we were happy once we got there. We were on the 6th floor with the beautiful view of the lake. The building is dated and needs a lot of work to make it up to date. The beds are okay with clean sheets. The bathroom with the shower is just the right size and with white clean towels. The staff are nice. The building is in the middle of Tahoe City walking distance to all the restaurants and shops and most especially to the lake. We got there early since we need to be at the church wedding by 2pm. We were directed to go to Basecamp (their sister company) so we can change and get ready for the wedding since Pepper Tree Inn staff won’t be there till 3pm. We were very happy with our stay at Pepper Tree Inn."

Donner Bliss - Remodeled Lakefront Cabin on Donner, 180 Views, Dog Friendly, with Private Pier

10/10 Excellent

"Majestic views of Donner Lake on the South side. No shortage of stairs if you are looking to get some exercise at elevation. The South Side is shady which is perfect if the temperature is warm. Definitely consider staying there again in the future. The private dock was well used by all."

Lakefront Cabin with private pier on Donner Lake

10/10 Excellent

"This Lakefront property in Donner Lake is a gem, despite the stairs going up and down to get to the property it was totally worth it. Then you’re greeted. with the most Spectacular view of the Donner lake and the mountains. We also love the private dock to hangout barbecue and kayak with the family. We had an amazing time. The place was nice and clean. The fridge in the kitchen took a little time to get cold. Overall we loved the place. The host was nice and helpful ,and communication was good.9/10.."
