We were truly blown away at how picturesque this resort truly was when we arrived! The staff was welcoming and friendly, our room was beautiful, and access to the game room and the pool was easy. The activity staff were really kind to our daughter and made our stay even more enjoyable. Though several things were closed due to the off-season, we were still able to find things to eat for breakfast and lunch and in between exploring nearby Tahoe.

Great Place to Stay

This place was fantastic. The beds were surprisingly comfortable and the lacation was great, about half way between Truckee and Kings Beach. Lake Donnor is also about 25 mins away and less crowded than Lake Tahoe.

A wonderful property, we had a 2-bedroom property which was huge and had everything we needed. A good place to stay to hike and explore down on Lake Tahoe. Only negative was reception staff, they appeared to have no local knowledge when asked a couple of questions!

We stayed just before the start of the summer MTB season. It was wonderfully not crowded, the accommodation was as described and spacious and the amenities (pool, mini cinema, onsite parking) were great. A short drive from the mountain to some great lakeside beaches and close to restaurants and hikes.

Great place.

We really enjoyed the Hyatt Vacation Club. They did try to get us to go listen to a sales pitch. Had to tell them no a couple times. But that was the only negative. I spent every morning eating breakfast and drinking coffee on our balcony. Absolutely amazing.
