I stayed here for 4 nights for a conference in March. The resort has a main lodge with hotel-style rooms, and a number of other buildings scattered around a pine forest with some townhouses, some suites, some smaller rooms. I stayed in a townhouse room, which was small and had its own small bathroom. There are no views of the... More

I've been Granlibakken three times for conferences. Each time I stayed in a different room. I have stayed in the main lodge, in one of their townhouses, and in the barracks-like accommodations called "bearpaw". Avoid the latter! They are very basic, small, and not very comfortable. The townhouses are good for a big group staying together in 3-4 rooms, but... More

We stayed here just one night on a last minute snowboarding weekend trip to Squaw. This resort is about 8 miles or 15 minute drive from Squaw (so very close to Alpine as well). We enjoyed our stay here. This mountain lodge has a lot of charm. The buildings are very spread out, with ample parking. My husband used their... More

We spent 4 days at a conference and were booked at a Townhouse in a very tiny room, which did not even leave enough space for the bags. You could hear every step of the persons living in the rooms of floor above and water was leaking in the kitchen, if showers were used up-stairs. Horrible! We then moved to... More

I took a 7 and 4 year old to Granlibakken Resort in Tahoe City. Neither of the kids knew how to ski, and I'll admit to being a little nervous about how difficult it was going to be. I can't even tell you how much fun we had. The staff in the ski hut could not have been nicer and... More

We stayed here over Christmas, looking for a White Christmas experience. Unfortunately the weather let us down as there was only minimal snow around but enough man made snow for the kids to taboggan down the hill. The resort staff were extremely helpful - allowing us to change our booking at the last minute and swap rooms to a larger... More

Have only been to Granlibakken four times in either the fall or winter: '95, '99, '02, and '12. Rooms: comfortable; grounds and views: nice; food: outstanding; staff: outstanding. All visits were for conferences.

We are on our final day of a four day stay at Granlibakken. We booked this for our family Christmas. The fact that there is no snow this year is not the fault of the resort; but their 30 day cancellation policy made it impossible for us to change our plans when it was evident there would be no snow....

As others have mentioned, this place has the original hard-used fixtures in their rooms, but the rooms are clean. It is also seriously plumming challenged, and the bathroom counter was ridiculously low (I'm short, and it hit between my knee and crotch). But, how much time do you plan on spending in the room? This is an area that begs... More

I was there for a conference in late September and it was perfect for the needs of the group. The rooms were nice although somewhat small (certainly not luxurious) and the beds were very comfortable. I stayed in a town home and it was nice to have a little extra common space. The food for the conference was the best... More
