The room was not worth $160 per night. I would expect to pay less than half that for the level of quality we found.

4/5 - Good

There is no sand beach at the bottom of the resort. You need to drive to one.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

There are two types of people: Those who let Tahoe in and those who just don’t get it. We get it and appreciate it %100
