Dear GarciaDJ, Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to write. The views are almost too good to be true, aren't they? I'm so glad you were there to enjoy the hammocks. They were just installed a few weeks ago; we are working on some signage and taking some other steps to help that area, and the beach in general, be a more peaceful place to relax. We have also recently changed our pet policy -- we certainly love our four-legged friends but even they enjoy the grassy area on the first floors. This change in policy will take a few weeks to go into effect, but we think it will be great for all. And since you met him, you might be interested in knowing that since you were with us, Noah has been promoted to Guest Services Manager, and will be helping our guests with all sorts of things, especially creating perfect days in Tahoe, with his knowledge of both guest needs and local flavor. Be sure to say hi to him the next time you are in! Kimberly
