Holiday House

We loved the location. The view is amazing. The patio is relaxing. The innkeeper/owner is very sweet. Parking is easy.

I love going to this hotel. My dogs are so relaxed here when I stay here which makes me relax too.

The host/owner is wonderful... the scenery spectacular...the facility old. Because of all its good points I'd go back and stay again, but would really love it if it were updated.

We just returned from a delightful 4 day, 3 night stay at Holiday House's suite#5. This particular suite is situation on the ground floor right in front of the lake! The patio between the suite and the beach was well appointed with comfortable seating and a BBQ grill. Alvina, the owner, was so very welcoming and gave us a quick tour of how to access the beach when we arrived. The suite itself was comfortable and clean. Yes, it did show its age but our delight at the location and Alvina's excellent customer service more than made up for that. There is a Murphy bed in the lounge area and a large queen sized bed in the bedroom. The kitchenette includes a fridge and gas stove as well as pots, pans, silverware, dish detergent, salt, pepper and cooking oil. The sink came with dish liquid and sponge for cleaning up and Alvina changed the towels every day.

The view is spectacular. But the rooms were like you stepped back in time. Everything is functional but definitely should be in a museum. The location and staff were wonderful. Recommend if all you don't spend much time inside your room. And in Lake Tahoe you shouldn't be spending anytime in there at all.

This is a quaint and beautiful place right on the lake. The owner added to our enjoyment of the lake because she is passionate about the spirit and beauty of this place. We couldn't get enough of the view from the double deck in front of all rooms. Right on the water from the north shore, sipping on a cold Pacifico, cool lake breeze and amazing views after a day of hiking... can't go wrong!

Appreciate that dogs are welcome. Good for winter sports as shuttle to skiing near. Right on beach for summer sports.

There weren't many options left for a last-minute post-New Year's stay in north Lake Tahoe. The room we had was certainly roomy, but it hasn't been updated in probably 40 years. The owner was very nice, check in was fine, and when we tripped a fuse in the bathroom, it was taken care of right away. The beds were probably newer and were comfortable although the sheets seemed like they were from Goodwill. The towels were all nice and new. The kitchen was pretty bare bones and we didn't do more than make tea. So, overall, only recommend if you are desperate like we were during a holiday week.

* Dont expect the property manager at site. * Appliances are too old and they are ready to die anytime. * Very smelly rooms.

My husband and I wanted to get away for a few days before I started the school year again. I searched on Expedia for a place to stay along the lake and looked at Holiday House. The pictures were wonderful and the price fairly reasonable. There were cheaper places with more amenities that included free breakfast, sons, hot tub, fireplaces. But this place had a phenomenal view and showed beautiful flowers on balconies, nicely appointed rooms, etc. When we arrived we found a very run down rooms, the shower was mildewed and the door of the shower was rusted. The hair dryer had never been cleaned and I had to clean it myself before I could use it. The bedroom was disgusting. I could not sleep the first night because I thought something will crawl on me. The second night I wore long johns and long sleeve shirt because I did not want my body to be touching the sheets. The stove was .... I think you are getting the picture. The place has not been renovated since the 1970's (I think).
