10/10 Excellent
"We booked this trip on a whim looking for a getaway in Tahoe and we couldn't have chosen a better place! Everything was amazing during our stay and felt really cozy like we were at home. At the Granlibakken they have so many things to do. We enjoyed playing pickleball, swimming, and also using their gym. The biggest highlight would be their friendly staff. Joshua was very gracious and helpful when it came to recommending some activities and good food spots around Tahoe! As well as, Adrian & Raul were both very catering to us during our delicious breakfast. Overall, our experience here at the Granlibakken was superb. Perfect for couple looking for a getaway and for families. We'll definitely be back soon!"
