“The knotty pine interiors and in-room fireplaces evoke a Tahoe of an earlier era, made even more appealing by the beach access and vintage game room. Between the s'mores around the fire pit and the loaner bikes for exploring, this place seems to encourage guests to embrace the outdoors; the pet-friendly policies are a welcome bonus. A lodge like this seems custom-made for families seeking a little adventure.”
