Top Pla-Vada Woodlands Hotel Reviews

Gravity Haus Truckee-Tahoe

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel ever. Amazing fitness center."

Red Wolf Lodge at Olympic Valley

8/10 Good

"If you can, book a room with a nice view. We asked for a room with a balcony, and they only had the first floor. We wanted to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather, so we took it, not realizing we would be very disappointed… It turned out to be a balcony facing dead space, and no view… Well, everyone there was very nice and helpful, but this time, we really did not enjoy our stay as much as the previous time. My bad, I guess, for not researching what room types were better."

West River House

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great stay of several days. The room and bathrooms were very clean and well maintained. Mattress and bedding was very comfortable even though I have a sore back from time to time. Did not negatively impact my back at all!!! Plenty of hot water for showers - no issues at all. Staff on duty (Liam, the manager) was very helpful with local suggestions of places to go and things to do. I would without hesitation book here again!! The area has plenty of things to do and see all year round --- hiking, skiing, exploring, boating, sport fishing, river rafting, etc. There was even a rodeo nearby during my stay, including a concert. Movie theaters pretty close by also if it's a rainy day. Numerous good places to eat --- even a bakery/breakfast-lunch kitchen next door and a place to rent a kayak or bicycles. Terrific hotel and location."

Sierra Woods Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"What a sweet place and a far cry from cookie-cutter low end motels. Beautiful location, nice rooms, and a very nice restaurant on premises. The motel is a project of a recovery program called Teen Challenge so it's a bonus to support them but the motel stands on its own as a 'find' off Highway 80. Highly recommended"

What other neighbourhoods are similar to Pla-Vada Woodlands?

Other neighbourhoods that offer a similar experience to Pla-Vada Woodlands include Tahoe City and Truckee, both known for their access to the outdoors and relaxed atmosphere.

It's a great option for couples looking for a mix of active days and pleasant evenings by the lake.

Truckee, situated just north of Lake Tahoe, retains more of its historic railroad town character while still providing ample opportunities for outdoor pursuits. Its historic downtown, centred around Commercial Row, is well-preserved with brick buildings housing independent boutiques, eateries, and a few breweries. Truckee is particularly popular with families due to its proximity to ski resorts and its access to the Truckee River for rafting and fishing.
