Top Tahoe City Hotel Reviews

evo Hotel Tahoe City

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this hotel. It was very unique!. The rooms were very comfy and the staff were all very friendly. The location was within walking distance of the waterfront, shops and restaurants. The hotel had a restaurant just across the parking lot. We enjoyed having breakfast and a delicious dinner there during our stay. The only thing is that there were no elevators. But it is only two levels and the staff offered to help us with our luggage, if needed!"

Tahoe Mountain Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"The property is exactly as presented in the photos. It is a beautiful residence- spacious and well furnished. Quiet and private, with a breath-taking view of the lake. Our whole family absolutely loved it. We enjoyed cooking meals in the well stocked kitchen, and didn't eat out the whole week. Stores are conveniently located nearby so we easily grabbed forgotten ingredients. We used the jacuzzi every night.Something to consider is the pet policy. My son's asthma kicked up the first night there, and I suspect it is because the hosts allow guests w/pets. The house was very clean, but someone with sensitivity to dog dander will feel it. (this is not the first time this has happened when we've rented) However, with allergy medication, my son felt better by the next day and he enjoyed himself the rest of the week. : )"

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second time staying at Marion’s beautiful Lake Tahoe home, and once again, it did not disappoint! This time, we brought our best friends along so we could share with them the beauty of Lake Tahoe and the absolute comfort of Marion’s wonderful place.Everything was very clean, cozy, comfortable, and welcoming. It truly feels like a home away from home. Marion is also an amazing host—her response time is incredibly quick, and she is always helpful, efficient, and wonderful to communicate with.We will definitely be booking again! In fact, we’ve enjoyed our stays so much that we would love to send our adult children here one day so they can experience all the wonderful things we have.Thank you again, Marion, for another amazing stay and for helping make our Lake Tahoe memories so special!
