We have stayed at the Cottage Inn for the past two years. We drive up in December/January to enjoy the skiing on the north shore. We picked the B&B based on reviews and a friend's recommendation and we are so glad we did! All of the cottages on site are absolutely adorable and oh so cozy. They sit right near... More

We stayed at the Cottage Inn in Lake Tahoe for a couple of nights, and had the most wonderful time!! Our room was huge with a king size bed, an amazing in room hot tub, and a very nice and cozy fireplace. The lady who owns the place was there at 9:00 p.m. to meet us and was very sweet... More

2 miles from the Y intersection @ Hwy 89 next to everything that matters is The Cottage Inn This Tyrolean cottage style place has no match in the area.Individual cottages and theme rooms give you the real Alpine Lake side experience and service that you would expect to pay more for.Beautiful landscaped and manicured with a short walk to one...

My wife and I traveled from the Bay Area and stayed here over the Thanksgiving weekend. Our experience was nothing short of fantastic. The staff was very friendly, professional and accommodating. Everything from the amazing home cooked Thanksgiving dinner to the early morning breakfast to the quaintly decorated rooms and comfortable beds. We have spent a lot of time in... More

We stayed in the "Old Fishing Hole" at the rear of the property. Quaint but rather small, particularly the bathroom. Bed comfortable. Coffee available in the lounge/dining area all day and complementary wine & cheese between 5&7pm.Breakfast nice but fairly basic. Service overall was totally satisfactory.

Comfortable rooms in a quaint setting with beach access. The only staff person we dealt with (at the desk, on our tour of the facility, as our breakfast server) was really rude and short with us and others. Asked "how can we get to the airport," she answered, "You could hitch-hike." We found our own car service. Breakfast food very... More

thank you very much for your comment. I am very sorry that you did not feel the way I would have wanted you to. after having read your comment I called in a meeting with staff to address your review. the closest airport is 60 mi away so I cannot believe that any of them would have been serious saying...

We stayed here in August and we chose Cottage Inn after looking at Trip Advisor and Fodor's. The setting is idyllic: A selection of cabins surrounding a pretty lawned area with chairs and a hammock. It is also very peaceful here, with a small beach and cycle path easily accessible. We stayed in a 'Stagecoach'. The decor was carefully chosen... More

thank you very much for your nice review. I do appreciate the comment about the menus,but it is very difficult for us to get the different menus of the nearby restaurants into one folder as they all have different sizes and shapes, so it is the easiest to just put them loosely into a basket. that way they can be...

We stayed here for 3 nights in July. We spent the first two nights in Lazy Lake and the last night in The Fishin' Hole. Lazy Lake was cute and very comfy but close to the road and the noise from the street and other party houses was loud through the night. Fishin' Hole was tiny and squeezed between two... More

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights in June and we couldn't have been happier. We stayed in the "Birds Nest" which was quite cute and cozy. The bed was very comfortable with the softest sheets and we really enjoyed the jacuzzi tub in the room. The location is excellent, within walking distance to the Sunnyside Marina which... More

Stayed four nights in "Sail Away", a themed room in a cottage a few steps from the office lodge. The room was quite comfortable and clean, the bath was nice. Lighting was good. The hot water took literally 4 to 5 minutes to arrive when the tap was full open, and ran out at the end of a short shower.... More

thank you very much for your comment. we try very hard that our guests have a great experience staying here. Unfortunately one of the 2 water on demand water heaters lost its pump and that was the reason why you did not have enough hot water. we found out days after you had checked out, since nobody told us about...
