Our stay at the Tahome was wonderful! It was just enough space for my family of 4. We loved Patton beach, that was within walking distance. We also enjoyed swimming at the Carnelian Lodge pool and hot tub. We loved hiking to Eagles Falls. It was beautiful. We happened to be there on one the hottest days of the year and our host brought us fans to help us keep cool at night. That was above and beyond and really appreciated how attentive they were. Lake Tahoe is beautiful and our time there is unforgettable!

Great spot for one couple!

We had a wonderful stay and it was so nice to walk down to the lake. It would be quite tight with two couples though.

Cozy

In a nice and quiet location near the forest—inland about 1 1/2 blocks from the lake. Rooms were cozy and clean! We loved having the coffee selection and Keurig. The heaters made the chilly nights much more pleasant! Had a modern yet comfortable cabin-home like atmosphere. Check-in/out was super easy and having the option of the lodge, pool and hot tub were great! Host was very kind and communicative. Would definitely recommend!
