Best location in Tahoe, hands down! Our room had way more than a normal hotel, including a full kitchen and dining area... Not to mention the common areas like the patio and the water side sitting area. It's hard to find a place that just feels like home as soon as you walk in... and it's hard to over estimate just how awesome the view is! I could(and did) just sit there for hours!
We had an amazing experience, we really enjoyed staying on holiday house, our dog Lobo love to be able to travel with us. Just amazing experience. We are going back time and time again
The room was lovely and warm even though it was facing the lake which was super windy and cold. Very cozy place and amazing views of the lake when you wake up!
We stay here at least 2 times a year. Very cozy and right on the water. Don't come here for something fancy but come here for tranquility and hommy feeling.
So happy I found this place. Beautiful, cozy lakeside rooms with full kitchen. View is gorgeous. Deck to relax and bbq. Owner is a sweetheart. We will definitely make this our go-to hotel when we come back up here.
Love love LOVE the Holiday House. The location right on the lake and in town, the cozy rooms and always the sweetest lady to welcome us at the front. Like a home away from home every year. Can’t wait to come back!
A great little place to stay! Right on the water. Fantastic and beautiful views! The owner is such a sweet lady. I highly recommend this place. Side note: the bedroom could use new blinds.
the owner is amazing. Got stuck in a storm and she was so friendly and helpful. Helped check weather for us and allowed us to hang out last check out to see if the roads would open. The rooms were older but homey. The view is spectacular out over the lake. She definitely made a very stressful situation much more tolerable.
Overlooking Lake Tahoe's north shore, this laid-back, all-suite hotel is 2.4 miles from the Nevada state line and 10.6 miles from the Truckee-Tahoe Airport. It's also along the route for free shuttles to Squaw Valley, Northstar and Alpine Meadows ski resorts.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in California. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
