Clean! Cute! Spacious even for 2 people. Came with first aid kit, flashlights, instructions on how to use the dumpster to keep bears at bay. Easy to find, staff was helpful! Will def book again!
**S/N: underneath the bed were a ton of spider webs under the bed, but other than that. Perfect & would book again.
We loved our stay. The room was very clean and had all the amenities. The bedding and bed was clean and comfortable as well. We did not need anything which was great. On top of the stay the location was great, close to everything. Would stay again and highly recommend.
Initially, we wanted to find a location away from the crowds and closer to nature. After mapping out the distance to local shopping, dining, and entertainment spots, we found this lovely place—Emerald Bay Village. It strikes the perfect balance, nestled in nature but surprisingly close to amenities like small coffee shops, general stores, and gas stations.The best part was the absolute quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed the serenity of nature, and the night sky was breathtakingly clear, filled with thousands of stars. The staff was incredibly thoughtful, stocking the cabin with everything we needed, including high-quality coffee pods. The room itself was spotless and featured fast Wi-Fi, hardwood floors, spacious clothes cabinets, and super comfortable mattresses and pillows. There is also a heater for chilly nights and bunk beds if you are traveling with kids.The only minor detail to consider is that the property could use a larger entrance sign or clearer directional signage to guide guests in. Other than that, everything was absolutely perfect. We are already looking forward to coming back in the winter!
Clean room. Staff was very responsive. Our heater wasn’t working one night so the staff brought mini portable heater which really helped warm up the room. Great location! Close to everything

The place was really good and the kitchen was fully stocked. Beds were very comfy.
The room was amazing. Very clean. The property is well maintained. There are more amenities than listed. It didn't list that there was a microwave and there was. There was glasses, paper towels, first aid kit, dish soap and sponge. The beds were very comfortable. We rented the room with a queen bed and bunk beds. The walls are kind of thin so we could hear the neighbors quit well but everyone that was staying during our stay were very friendly. There is washer and dryer on property to use. The BBQ area for everyone to use is great. Tables and chairs and fire pits to enjoy. Small park right behind for little kids or a basketball hoop which our son enjoyed as we were there for a basketball tournament. Corn hole for everyone to use. The room had lots of little added touches to make it feel very comfortable. Beautifully decorated. I would definitely recommend to family and friends. We will be back.
Emerald bay village was perfect for our trip to tahoe. Its was close to everything without being in the hustle of downtown. Very esthetically pleasing with extremely comfortable beds and linens.
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!
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.
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!
This place was Great for my family and I. Cozy and clean. No AC but didnt need it the weather was great and this is during the middle of summer. Definitely a place to stay in future. They offer outdoor games and BBQ surrounded by redwoods.
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?
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.
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.
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!
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!
We stayed here and went skiing at Sierra at Tahoe. Great location, Convenient to restaurants and Sierra. Extremely convenient parking right in front of the door. Nice interior. Kids loved the bunkbeds. Nicely decorated and renovated. Only complaints related to noise: the walls are thin and you can easily hear the guests in the next room. Also, the heater is noisy and makes banging noises which woke me up. The kids slept fine and it is their favorite place to stay in Southlake Tahoe.
