Granlibakken Tahoe

10/10 Excellent
"We loved the convenient location. Hiking paths right off the property and the agility course. The outdoor pool with hot tub and sauna is great. Wished the outdoor pool opened before 10 AM for a lap swimming. The accommodations were very comfortable, and the resort “style” was very appealing."
