The cottage was absolutely perfect. It was clean and exactly depicted the pictures online. Gave cozy Tahoe feeling with a side of modern detail. We love it and will be back again!

We were a group of 2 couples and one single and we had plenty of space. Loved that all the rooms were spread out and everyone had their own bathrooms. Parking was close to the unit and keyless entry made it easy to come and go. Loved that it felt that you were in the trees and across the street from the water. Very much in nature! We used the fire pit and bbq and they were all well maintained.

The cottages are so cute, they are very clean inside, almost up to par with a 4 -5 star hotel. Linens, towels are new and soft. Beds are comfortable. Kitchen is so well designed, has everything you need . We stayed in July and it was so hot inside the cabin. We had to open all the windows when we got inside the cabin and close them once we leave, turned out to be a daily task . It was so dark inside the cabin, even if you had all the blinds up, you needed to turn all the lights in the middle of the day. This cabin is a great place to stay in the winter, it was so hot and dark, we couldn’t stay inside the cabin during our stay in summer. We would leave immediately after waking up and come back just to go to sleep. I wanted to have a deck and enjoy my coffee, it was not possible at this cabin, the decks were very small and dusty and no views. We stayed at cabin 1 which was right up against the road as well. There was a lot of car noise when the windows were opened. I would go and check out the other nature retreat locations in the country but won’t be back to this location.
