Holiday House

Unclean, smelly with antique/not clean appliances, Dirty all over. I could see hair(animal and human being) all over the place. There is no beach access. 1960s TV/furniture/applicances.

We had a great experience. Alvina is wonderful to work with. We had friends with us and they wanted a room at the last minute and it was no problem.

Disappointed with the room. Very old and needs an update with almost everything. There were only one person watching the place, she was extremely nice and pleasant. Sorry won't come back very pricey..... Only stayed because we brought out dog.

The good: really incredible view of the lake from lakefront balcony. Alvina the owner is a doll, couldn't be sweeter. The bad: last decorated in the 70s. Everything is clean but so tired and worn. Sheets were faded floral prints, bathroom had 70's wooden toilet seat and linoleum floor lifting by shower, sofa-sleeper sloped down at the head. If you can stand all that, go for it. If you expect more for $200/night, look elsewhere.

Stayed for two nights for two-day conference. On the last day, manager refused to let my wife and dog stay an hour past check-out time at 11 am, forcing me to leave a business conference early to pick them up at 11 am instead of 12 pm during the lunch break. Completely unreasonable and unhospitable attitude. Also, when you check in, you will be forced to leave a $100 credit card deposit promising not to leave your dog in the room alone for even a minute; then the manager monitors your every move. Horribly uncomfortable bed. Beautiful view. Never again.

The view of the lake was spectacular. The patio area was a great place to sit, read, and enjoy the view.

The location of this property was, by far, the best aspect. A beautiful view of the lake and close proximity to restaurants and other services in Tahoe City. Since we were travelling with our dog, it was also greatly appreciated that there was a welcome basket for her (be aware of the $30 per visit, or $5 a day for longer stays, pet fee). The room was clean, comfortable, and serviceable. However, the overall condition of the hotel - dated, worn and seemingly not updated since it was built in the early 70's - didn't warrant the price being asked.

Our host was fantastic. She even laid out a basket of blankets for our dog. Beautiful view, very relaxing stay. Small kitchen, great for cooking a few meals. Near many great restaurants. Near Safeway. Very convenient and cozy. Only drawbacks: a little expensive for the not-so-up-to-date room. Had to take the dog with us everywhere (not allowed to leave dog in the room).

We had an enjoyable experience and are pleased we chose Holiday House. Whilst it seems that the premises have not been redecorated for many years, this was more than compensated by the position and views of Lake Tahoe, which were fantastic, and the peace and tranquillity were wonderful.

This is a very dog friendly hotel and you and your pets will feel very welcome the moment you set foot in the place. Very highly recommended to stay here!
