10/10 Excellent
"Rustic, homey camp theme. All we needed for a 3 night stay. Loved the breakfast sandwiches, brewed coffee or specialty coffees, teas, beer wine for purchase in the lobby. And s’mores kits for the fire-side seating areas, family board game room, outdoor games, etc. And the partial view of Lake Tahoe and Sierra Mountains. Near Squaw Valley/Palisades snow area. .Close walking distance from hotel to food, brewery, restaurants, shopping and marina. Trail maps available, Staff so helpful and cheerful. Will stay again when in the Truckee/Tahoe City/ Kings Beach areas!"

"We booked this trip on a whim looking for a getaway in Tahoe and we couldn't have chosen a better place! Everything was amazing during our stay and felt really cozy like we were at home. At the Granlibakken they have so many things to do. We enjoyed playing pickleball, swimming, and also using their gym. The biggest highlight would be their friendly staff. Joshua was very gracious and helpful when it came to recommending some activities and good food spots around Tahoe! As well as, Adrian & Raul were both very catering to us during our delicious breakfast. Overall, our experience here at the Granlibakken was superb. Perfect for couple looking for a getaway and for families. We'll definitely be back soon!"

"This is a very clean home in a very nice area. The private beach access is close by and the beach / lake is absolutely beautiful. The place is a bit dated, but very clean and comfortable. The barbeque is clean and easy to use - we had some amazing meals. All in all this location is exceptional. Tahoe City has tons of shops too - that was a plus! Note: I told the owner about the front door - the keys barely work in either lock and it took a lot of jiggling keys around to make the door open. I hope they fix that, because it was frustrating."
