Pro:
Studio room w Bunk bed works great for a family with 1-2 kids
Good driving distance to ski resorts in North Lake Tahoe; Across the street from Donner lake so should be good for summer time too.
Grab-to-go breakfast is with fresh pastries and hot egg burritos
48-hr cancellation term works great for families with smaller children (think about a time when kids get sick and you have to cancel the trip)
Cons
Super tiny shower space. Seriously the smallest I had ever used. The shower head position doesn’t work well for small kids. They would be forced to have a shampoo every day hahah. Better to have a removable shower head. Good that the toilet and sink are separated though.
Not enough dining options within 5mins driving
Wish list:
To include milk in breakfast options. There’s good variety of coffee but having milk would be good for kids
Open up the breakfast place during the day (or evening) for access to hot water.

The shower head is tall so that difficult for short kids, it would be great to change to one with handheld.

This was perfect for our family for two nights. Everything we expected was in place, our hosts were responsive when we reached out. Short walk to the lake, short drive to the ski slopes and tubing hills. Exactly what we needed.

Text message check in was the easiest thing in the world, just pulled up and lodge door was 5 feet from the car. Clean and warm inside, couldn't ask for more for a quick night stay.
