Room had a lot of noise from the highway adjacent to the hotel. Also the bathrooms were very small. Otherwise the room was very cute and quaintly decorated with a mountain decor. Also the carpet in the room was very beat up.

Classic “Old Tahoe” cottages with updated bathrooms, windows and electronics. Beautiful and updated Tahoe Park HOA beach steps away with play area, bathrooms, picnic tables with propane barbecues and dock. Several excellent and fun dining options within 5 minute walk.

LOVE the Cottage Inn!
Absolutely love this place and will be back! It is adorable and the perfect location to walk to the lake (literally steps behind your cabin), to Fire Sign Cafe for breakfast, West Shore market for lunch sandwiches, Sunnyside for dinner, Shadyside for drinks, you name it! Very walkable, perfect location and excellent cottage with the sweetest people running it. 10/10
Steps away from your cottage is the lake!
