After reading reviews I booked a 3 night stay at the Rustic Cottages sister lodge Tahoe Vista Lodge. What a huge disappointment. After a long day all I wanted before turning in was a hot shower....surprise no hot water....the cottage was extremely hot due to no air conditioning which is ok but not in Tahoe when there was no breeze,...

Amazing place... All cottages have a fireplace that makes them even cozier. It really feels like being in a luxury woodcutter shack. You can even cook since they provide you everything you need: oven, stove, microwave, cutlery, pots/pans and dishes. The owner is super sweet and bakes every evening amazing chocolate brownies for the guests. It also allowed us to... More

There are trails to hike on behind the Cabins and they are also right across the street from the lake. I missed having my dog with me and will definitely bring her next time. I love that the hotel is dog friendly and all were so well behaved. I also loved the morning breakfast that is provided and sitting around... More

Our family gathers once a year, young and old for a long weekend at the Lake.

Moon Dunes Beach is a quick walk across the street, so bring all your beach gear with you and enjoy the... More

Whether you are traveling solo, as a couple, or as a family, the Rustic Cottages offers a... More

We stayed in the Zephyr cottage, a cozy studio cottage with a queen bed, kitchen with everything needed, and bath with shower. It was perfect for us and very comfortable! Other amenities included gas fireplace, cable TV, DVD/VHS player,... More

We just got back from a long weekend at Rustic Cottages and had a great time. We stayed at the Vista location. The cottages were small, but had everything we needed. The grassy area in the middle was perfect for the kids to play on and for the grown ups to sit and socialize. Pool was closed due to the... More

This is our favorite place to stay in Tahoe. Winter for skiing. Summer hiking and dining. The place is clean. Each cottage is separate and nicely decorated. The beds are comfortable and the gas fireplace keeps the room toasty. They have free movies to watch in your room, coffee and cookies/muffins in the office. Good value. We've been coming here... More
