Cedar House Sport Hotel

Top choice in Lake Tahoe


This chic, environmentally conscious contemporary lodge aims at getting folks out into nature. It boasts countertops made from recycled paper, ‘rain chains’ that redistribute water from the green roof garden, low-flow plumbing and in-room recycling. However, it doesn’t skimp on plush robes, sexy platform beds with pillow-top mattresses, flat-screen TVs or the outdoor hot tub. It also houses Stella dining room.

Guided tours and multi-sport outdoor adventures can be arranged in-house.
