It was absolutey disgusting..to say the least. The beds looked as if they justvrolled out of them 5 seconds prior to me arriving. The trash was full in all rooms, cups and sink were like a toddler was learning how to make coolaide and spilled every lasy drop on the counter... i could feel the bed bugs plotting on me as i walked in. I immediately left and was promised a refund, but have not had any luck getting that back. The "landlord" will not answer any calls.

it was a convenient location for us (dining and gas nearby) and #7 was very private. we were close to Emerald Bay, Pope Beach, etc.

Good value, clean rooms, nicely decorated. Some minor issues: plugged sink, no bedside table on one side, poor ventilation, very low water on shower and road noise.

Staff super efficient. They sent email before check in with directions so we could go directly to our cabin. Room is beautiful! Can I live here forever?

One of the few times I’ve stayed at a place and had to leave the property and request my money back.
Very poor lighting conditions (can’t see much in room at night. Floors weren’t very clean. Top bunk bed didn’t seem sturdy— pulled mattress on floor for daughter to sleep on.
Air conditioning did not work, and when we asked how it worked, was told the property didn’t have air-conditioning, which was not advertised. Staying in July w just a ceiling fan did not work for us.
On the second night after a long day of activities, we came back to the room and found a weird smell coming from the bathroom. Shower was backed up and had standing water which smelled like sewer/dirty water. Called the next day and was told the plumber would come out. Plumber couldn’t fix the problem and we were told would show up sometime the following week.
After so many inconveniences, we decided to pack up and find other accommodations. The property manager/contact was very accommodating and did get back to immediately, which is the only reason I’m giving it more than one star.
Unfortunately, I would not recommend staying here in this location.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The property had everything we needed. Walking distance to restaurants and stores. Convenient parking right next to our cabin. Overall excellent. We will stay here again!

There is a lot of dust on the cabinet and countertop. The toilet paper box in the toilet should be updated. Everything in the room is the same as in the photos. There is a coffee machine in the room but there are no coffee capsules. There is a pack of opened coffee powder. I raised questions after checking in, but I didn't receive a reply from any landlord

WiFi didn’t work at all. We chose this location because it was stated there was WiFi. I reached out to the host three times and never received a reply back.

We had a fantastic stay at the cabin in Tahoe! The place was immaculately clean and featured a modern design that made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The location was incredibly convenient, providing easy access to local attractions and amenities. Highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a clean and hassle-free getaway in Tahoe!

I loved the quaintness of the outside of this property, combined with the modern, completely updated interior. Nothing was lacking - it was super comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully appointed. Bonus - the drawer with zip-lock bags!!!! attention to detail here is obvious and we loved it. We'll be back!

The bed was not very comfortable. Even on the lowest setting everything in the mini fridge froze completely hard. It was nice to have plates, knives, silverware and a stove. The description of the little cabin wasn’t clear so I brought a lot of things I didn’t need.

We were put in the Vikingsholm 3-6 Cabins. I wished we had gotten the edge of the cabins. The walls were very thin, I can hear one cabin to the next. And it cracked me up that we had to throw out our own trash 😅 before check out. Despite all this, I would still try to stay again because it was very cute and cozy for a family of four.

I love how it’s close to everything from Tube tahoe and other surrounding stores even a community hospital. It wasn’t what I saw from the photos but a great place to stay for 2 adults and 2 kids. We had the ease of checking in early (with additional fee of course) but it kept us warm and cozy during an expected snow rain. Thank you Emerald Bay Village! Will definitely come back again!

It was ok. Nothing special. They gave us 2 bath towels for a 5 day stay - I did message the number provided and got 2 more. There is no one onsite if there’s an issue. With all the options in town I’ll stay somewhere else next time

The beds were comfortable, and the space was perfect for the four of us. We appreciate that it had all the basic amenities such as coffee, tea, utensils, plates/bowls, and even ziplocks bags. We would definitely stay there again!

This was an adorable cabin, perfect for our needs as a family of four. It was clean, comfortable, and very quiet. It is situated in the perfect area with restaurants, coffee shops, and a grocery store super close by. I have no complaints and would love to stay here again!

My family and I (a group of 3) stayed in the standard cabin for one night. We paid about $400, and I am disappointed this amount was paid with the condition the lodge was in. When we first came in there was a horrible fishy smell- like fried fish. I am not sure where this smell came from as there is no stove in this lodge. The towels were dirty and torn, and the mini fridge did not close properly. I had to take images to assure this gets taken care of. I felt like the stay was not worth the cost. The most basic necessities were dirty and/or not capable of being used.
Disappointed to say the least. Not worth the money.

This property was an absolute game changer for our family. With 3 teens that covet their privacy, this cabin worked perfectly. Very easy access and parking. It was clean, cozy and beautifully furnished. It is within walking distance to numerous great food options, including an artisan pizza place. Also a grocery store if you want to make your own meals. The fully equipped kitchen was fantastic! It had everything we needed and more. The 3 bedroom family cabin was very spacious, plenty of room for a family of five. It was so relaxing! There is minor road noise but it felt more like a pattern of white noise and wasn’t distracting. We loved the experience at this property so much it has changed how we will plan our vacations from now on!

Great gem in South Lake Tahoe, close to dining (Elmers and the Y restaurants/Cuppa Tahoe) and Raleys. Convenient to I-50 and exploring S Tahoe. Loved our two bedroom cabin with kitchenette. Comfy. Clean. Nice extras like coffee and tea, creamers etc, toaster, microwave and mini fridge made for ability to “cook” basics and store leftovers, extra blankets, bedside “white noise machines” and ceiling fans made rooms cozy for sleeping. Loved that they supplied shampoo/conditioner and hairdryer as extra touches, plus roomy closets and comfy beds with lots of pillows. Outside shared seating area with bbq and games like cornhole, made for nice spot to hang out under the trees. Definitely will stay again!

Very nice, well-stocked, clean, compact room in a great location, but... upcharges. No staff on site and electronic check-in was a pain. Especially as the wifi was spotty during check-in, and for most of the night. And I was able to report on the wifi for most of the night, as the bed aggravated my backaches, and I could barely sleep. Im sure others have had a better experience, but I myself wont be back.

Overall the cabin and stay were great, very comfortable and updated. My only complaint was the walls are too thin, the family staying next to us were pretty loud late at night and really early in the morning. We were woken up at 5am because of the chatter.

Normally enjoy staying in hotels for the convenience but saw this and decided to take the jump. It was a nice experience overall but I feel like they could’ve done a better job cleaning the room. I noticed 2-3 spider webs (big ones so they didn’t look newly formed) which I understand since it’s a cabin and close to nature. But when I saw spiders (5-6) crawling in my bed it made me uncomfortable. I had to go out and get some bug spray to get rid and feel somewhat comfortable sleeping. If bugs bother you a lot I would avoid it according to my experience, if not it’s a different experience. Closely located to a lot of food/convenience stores. Parking was easy. Check in and check out process was almost seamless, overall 4/5

These have been remodeled and are cute inside. The problem is there was no heat and they knew that going into a cool holiday weekend. Also, the walls are so thin you hear everything from your neighbors. The units weren’t all full, so there should have been a room left between us and the neighbors.
8.0 / 10.0
We weren’t made aware beforehand that there is no front desk for check in. Our studio had everything we needed but the fan in the bedroom had obviously not been cleaned in a very long time. As cute and functional as the cabin was I expected it to be cleaned considering how much we paid for the cleaning fee alone.

Kind a cute place, nicely decorated cabin. Centrally located in Emerald Bay village. Taking a shower however was another story. The shower designed made it very difficult to have a shower without bumping onto the shower faucet.

Nice cabin just on the Main Street with everything nearby. Was initially a little disappointed that it had no AC, but at night it cools down to 65-68 with the windows cracked and fans on so it ended up being no big deal. Overall very nice for a good weekend getaway.
