This hotel is about 25 minutes from the main area of South Lake Tahoe/stateline, but it’s a beautiful drive that goes quickly and so worth it! We stayed in “St Nicks” cabin and it was just so perfect! So clean, well cared for, nicely stocked kitchen, and fun loft area to sleep in. I will for SURE stay at this Desolation Hotel again, and I will tell my friends and family as well. Thank you for a great spot!

Sorenson’s was part of my childhood. I appreciate how Desolation Hotels honors the history of the property and brought the cabins into the 21st century. We had a marvelous stay and can’t wait to go back.

Comfortable, cozy stay

We rented a studio cabin. It was fresh and clean. It is well insulated from the cold and the gas fireplace keeps it toasty. I enjoyed the free-standing bathtub. The re-modeling on the property is top-notch. The Sorenson Cafe menu was much the same as always. The food is wonderfully prepared and tasty.

For almost 100 years, this has been an oasis tucked into an aspen stand beneath craggy cliffs and a stone’s throw from a gorgeous valley meadow with an alpine stream wandering through it. You can bring your own food to cook in the amazing cabin kitchens that would make getting snowed in a treat, or you can dine on well-made and locally-sourced choices on the restaurant menu. Then you can stop off in the open spaces to chill, book a sauna session, toast marshmallows in the firepit under the stars, and have the kids wild out in the play areas and ample grounds to wander before you retreat to the most comfortable cabins with beds and pillows as soft as clouds for a restful night. This is my favorite place to unwind and unplug.

Such a nice place to stay. With a warm fireplace in the corner to bring up some heat, cozy beds and a nice sofa with wooden furniture. Our stay was awesome!
