Top choice in South Lake Tahoe & Stateline


A truly delightful option in the Hope Valley, with snug pine cottages and cabins, decked out with fairy lights and hammocks. There's a wealth of activities, including skiing, fishing and hiking. Magical in the snow, but just as lovely in summer. Bird-watching and stargazing events are held. The on-site cafe serves seasonal fish, steaks and salads.
