So cute!
Stayed here for one night. Cute studio cabin duplex. Tiny stove with oven. Tiny dishwasher and fridge. It was small but had everything we needed. And steps from the shoreline. Loved it!

The property is older if you stay on the woods side. Seems like the rooms could be re-vamped a bit for the price and we lost electricity for 12 hours without any apology from the the owners. Seems it is a mixture between privately owned places and places for the hotel. Great beach and location. Just unsure if it is worth the cost.

Proceed with caution!
First the positives: great location, beautiful beach and lake views, friendly staff! The negatives: extremely small and uncomfortable room, the bed and chair. Miserable! When I say small think cruise ship cabin. NO AC! Very old property. Floors were dirty. We stayed in unit 16 and NEVER AGAIN. I think if you have a water front unit you are good. You get off of the waterfront and it it sketch!

Below average
No AC and it was so hot in the room. Fans don’t really work and couldn’t open windows because of the bears. Beds were horrendous! My husband moved and I felt like I was going to get bounced off the bed. Our kids had twins in the living area but super uncomfortable. Shower lever didn’t work right, but it was good water pressure. Cable went out for the evening so couldn’t watch tv. Won’t stay there again.

Nice place!
Cute little cottages and close to the beach. Our only complaints were that the stove, oven and toaster didn’t work and our key to the pool didn’t work.

Comfortable, quiet room in a pine forest setting. Other rooms are beachside on Lake Tahoe. Nice pool, beach, dock, sand volleyball, and great views.

Need to know for summer. No AC's
No relief from the heat! No AC! No canopies or tents are allowed. I understand, no room, but they don't provide umbrellas either. Just a little investing can provide more comfort for your clients during summertime. Only relief was sitting outside at night. Car by day and out of the room by noon due to heat in July. I didn't know and should have read more. The pictures had me booking quick. So again, place is really nice, just not good for a couple wanting relief from the heat. Kids would have loved it, Im sure. Just don't know how their night would hand gone. Uncomfortable beds too. Surprised me considering how much a night. Know you are paying for the location NOT comforts. City is busy as hell on the street too! No elevator NO ice machine NO room service. If you are OK with cooling off in the water ALL DAY. You will be okay. Location is what is the winner here. Steps away from the water. Inside was clean. Saving grace was the fan in the closet.

It has a nice peer that goes into the water. NO AC and no restaurants walking distance only a pizzeria and a high class Steak House that you need reservations for it. There are just few cabins by the water and you need to cross the busy road for the others. I reserved thinking I’ll be by the water… not the case
