Wonderful setting, probably won't be back.

I felt like I wasn't welcome there. The check-in person was brusque, and the constant email and text reminders were annoying. Always trying to sell me more. While the room was clean and all the basic supplies were there, the fact that there wasn't one chair in the place meant I had to sit on the floor to put on my shoes an socks. Who chooses the TV system?

Great stay on North Shore

Parking right in front of our back deck, easy checkin with keyless option, coffee maker and small kitchen with dishes and cookware, comfortable bed with pillow top mattress and wish I couldve stayed longer to enjoy the many amenities.

We were camping and got rained out. Just happened to find this place on Expedia and we're absolutely amazed by such a wonderful Lodge it is. That was 4 years ago and we now always stay at the Granlibakken anytime we are in Tahoe. They have everything here and no need to leave the property. The only draw back is that there is only one ice machine (that we could find) and it is located near the lobby. Other than that, great place to stay for sure!!!

Near Perfect

Guys, this one is tough. This place is fantastic except for two things. First, our room was really small for two adults. The bathrooms were surprisingly big — which we loved. Last, the mattress is a covered coiled nightmare. They were ok at best, but nearly destroyed our aging backs. With the complaints out of the way I’ll say that the place is really good. The overall experience is what can only be described as “car/condo camping.” Campground feel and layout. Cozy lodge and restaurant — good mix of modern and old world charm. The rooms are, clean, cozy and very close to your vehicle— which I totally appreciated. The staff is AWESOME — totally guest-friendly. If they installed better mattresses it would be great. Ok for a short stay, but can’t spend a week sleeping on them — especially if you do any sort of exercise or mountain/lake activities. Close to everything in Tahoe City, lake, river and ski areas. Went in August. Will write another review when we return in winter. May bring our own mattress. LOL!

I liked the rustic setting, pool, jacuzzi and pball courts. However, I was kept awake two straight nights by loud party noise and music. I wish property had informed me on check-in that my room overlooked an event center with wedding parties both nights of my stay and offered me a different location. I had the windows closed too.
