We absolutely loved our stay! I was impressed by the thorough communication we had with the priority prior to us even arriving. They made everything so seamless. When we got to our room our eyes lit up. The cabin was pristine, had beautiful decor, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The nice toiletries also impressed. We loved the touch of luxury with wine and comfy robes. The grounds were quiet, everyone was respectful. There is a sauna to enjoy, a fire pit, there are nearby trails and I’d even say the property itself is peaceful to walk around. We can’t wait to visit again. There is nothing we would change, everything was great!

The setting of quaint cabins spaced adequately apart is wonderful. Each cabin is unique, ours was one of the smaller ones, but felt very spacious. Great trails and walking paths. Dinner was superb!! The only thing missing was pastries or something similar for breakfast before 9am. We went to go fishing at 845 and luckily brought some fruit with us.

This place is perfect if you want to take the scenic route. The beach access is 30-40 minutes away from the hotel. Cabin may be too warm in the summer, we had to ask for a regular stand fan in addition to the tower fan. The cabin has all the kitchen utensils, pots, pans, etc. Our cabin didn’t have a sink in the bathroom though. The staff when we got there was accommodating, however the AM person was always on her phone and didn’t want to be bothered at all. It’s a good experience if you want a peaceful place away from gadgets.

The care and service from the staff was phenomenal. We needed a little extra help and every staff person was kind, generous and friendly. The grounds are beautiful and the two cabins we stayed in were clean and pretty. The small basic cabin,Johan, only has one window that opens so it was very difficult to cool it down. Overall the resort is out of our price range and the "amenities" extra charge was a little hard to take. The coffee bar coffee was not good. But it's a beautiful place in a gorgeous area with excellent service. So if it's in your price range - Go!

We stayed one night. The first impression was cottage was so small. When we stayed sofa, mice ran across the in front of us. And we found couple of tiny bugs on the bed sheet. Next day early morning we woke up cause of kind of loud noise from somewhere of the room. We tried to find out where the noise came from. After search everywhere, there is mice stuck on sticky mouse trap. It was horrible experience that we paid about $400 per night. I will not be there again.

We came across this hotel as we were driving to Lake Tahoe last minute. We came across a lot of hotels but this one definitely stood out to us. Pictures didn’t do this property justice. It was absolutely so beautiful when we got there. The two ladies in the front were so sweet and helpful. I felt so welcomed. We had a tent #25 and let me just say how clean and beautiful it was. The sound of the river during the day was so nice, especially at night. We recommended the place to our family we couldn’t get enough of it. Will definitely be coming back.

Very quiet and nice place. We took advantage of the private beach access and it was great. The only downside to it is that its far from South Lake other than that it's amazing. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Kid friendly very kind and friendly staff. We even had breakfast at their sister hotel in South Lake and both were great.

Location was great. Bedding was comfortable. Cabin furnishings ridiculous. Who knew a wine fridge was more relevant than a microwave oven and a refer with a small freezer in it. Oh and if you aren't six feet tall don't even try to get the cast iron skillet of the lovely high shelf it's stored on. Oh and one chair. I guess one of us was destined to sit on the bed the entire stay. The vanity sink was so small after trying to shave the first morning I decided I too would be a face without function just like our cabin was filled with furniture, appliances and appurtenances than had no form or function as well. Ask for a trail map and get laughed at by the front desk if there is ever someone there. If there is the one working they will generally have to go ask someone else how to help you and may return in a while, a long while. I guess good service isn't included in the $35.00 resort fee. As far as we could tell nothing else was either, except a smoked filled scene early evening campfire no one asked for. This place is trying to be a first class resort. Snobby first class. The interiors of the cabins are great. The choice of furnishings and conveniences are absurd. Not everyone wants French Press coffee. Charge Resort Fees when you have something to offer. To say it is overpriced would be unfair, it is grossly overpriced. Constantly broken, sprinklers, causing slippery conditions, while construction workers were present everyday. Oh $55.00 per day for a Dog. Not coming back!

A true retreat in the wilderness to unplug and relax with the most comfortable grounds and cabins to spend time with family, friends, or in the comfy solitude of a hammock. The fire ring, kids’ trout pond, saunas, lawn game areas, scattered benches and bridges are not just “nice touches,” they bring together a complete resort designed for all to find their happy place. The food at the Sorenson’s Cafe/Restaurant is amazing, too.
