Lake Tahoe has been part of my life for over fifty years and it's difficult to imagine how can you improve on its beauty and activities, but along came the Cottage Inn! This weekend was a birthday celebration for a close friend and consisted of four couples. As one of the guest couples, I did no research and just delivered... More

We just got back from a last minute weekend stay at the Inn. Wow about says it all ! We don't know what they could have done to make our stay any better. The staff are wonderful, always willing to go above and beyond to exceed our expectations. We stayed in the Cowboy romance room which was very nice, has... More

My husband and I visited for four nights to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We had never stayed at the Inn but had heard great things about it and were looking forward to relaxing and enjoying Tahoe lake. What a wonderful place to stay! We stayed in Sail Away which was immaculate, wonderfully decorated and very comfortable. This room has a... More

We recently had a great stay at The Cottage Inn. Located just far enough outside of Tahoe City that it feels more remote than it actually is, it is also in close proximity to any and all ski resorts on the California side of the lake. We were treated each night of our stay to wine and snacks, and each... More

Charmed, I'm sure! My husband and I needed a weekend getaway and we knew a gal who was singing at Jake's on the Lake (Neva, a super talented artist from SoCal) so we decided on Tahoe City. We like to stay on the cheap side and this was about as cheap as we could get last-minute without staying in a... More

My partner and I stayed for 2 nights between Christmas and New Year as we were xcountry skiing up at the Nordic center in Tahoe City. We stayed in 'Cozy Corner' and were delighted with our stay. Our room was clean, perfectly sized, and very private as there was nobody to overlook the room. The lake is across a quiet... More

My husband and I have never been to Lake Tahoe and since it was our first time celebrating Xmas as husband and wife, we wanted to make it real special. We wanted to have a white Xmas and we definitely got it! The cottage was very cozy, romantic and very private. We stayed at The Enchanted Room and Cottage Time.... More

The Cottage Inn experience was truly a breath of fresh air! In today's day and age of resort fees, exuberant prices, and over rated hotels, this one has the total package. The staff was super friendly and extremely helpful. The breakfast in the morning was awesome as well. The cabins are top notch! If you want a true vacation destination,... More

My husband and I returned home last week from a destination wedding in Lake Tahoe, Ca. We found Cottage Inn among the options the bride and groom listed on their wedding website. At first glance I thought the cabins at Cottage Inn were a bit over-the-top with decorative bears climbing on them but as I looked closer at the website... More

We only had one night at the Cottage Inn and wished we stayed another. The property is just lovely--beautiful vintage-look, cozy cottages with most modern amenities. Everything is well kept. The quiet beach a short walk away is a nice spot to relax and look at lovely Lake Tahoe. The hearty breakfast was delicious. A couple surprises on our visit,... More
