We've vacationed in Lake Tahoe for many years. We where intrigued by Cedar Glen Lodge and the Tahoe themed property. It lived up to our expections! Our cabin was clean and very charming. Lots to do on the property with a pool, hot tub, firepit, putting green and kitchens in some units. This is a great vacation spot for families. The staff was extemely accomodating and helpful. The property is ideally located between Tahoe City and Incline Village with easy access to all Lake Tahoe restaurants and activities. We can see why it's in such demand! We hope to book our family vacation here this year! See you soon Cedar Glean Lodge! Lisa and Bill Curotto

This is a very nice cozy lodge! The location is great, right across from the lake and restaurants close by. It was very clean with a coffee pot and if you forget your personal items like shampoo and soap its all there for you. The decor is rustic and cozy.

This place was terrific - cozy, warm, and in a perfect spot that's convenient to everything with a gorgeous view of the lake. The thing that really stuck out to me was that everything in the room is better than it needs to be: comfy beds, roomy closets; great kitchenette - the pots, pans, silverware, and cooking utensils are all top quality. Even the towel racks and trash cans are brand new and sturdy. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. All around a great place - we'll definitely stay there next time we're in Lake Tahoe.

Our family has been coming here on and off for the last 12 years and this summer we had the best experience of them all. All of the employees were so helpful and friendly with whatever we needed. Our family stayed for just under a week and the housekeeping staff was great and really helpful whenever we needed anything. The proximity to the lake is so amazing, literally across the street, such a great spot for a family vacation. We plan on coming back next year and every year after. Thanks Cedar Glen Lodge!

We booked over half the property for a team event. The cabins allowed us to all stay on the same property, with the comfort of having our own space. The accommodation and staff were incredible. We will be back next year!

This was a perfect location for my company retreat. We rented out the entire Cedar Glen Lodge facility. The staff was attentive, the rooms were comfortable, quiet and very clean. The grounds had activities for all ages and there was enough space to have three food trucks. Plus the lodge is close to the beach, hiking, casino, and many restaurants. I would recommend staying at this lodge to everyone. We look forward to returning again next year with my company.

My family has been coming to Tahoe Vista for over 40 years. We have stayed at Cedar Glen for most of those years. We knew the original owners: my dad would stay up drinking wine/brandy with the owner. We knew the family who bought the place after them, too: ditto the after-hours beverages. We made it through the company years of the early 2000s by looking elsewhere as they let it slide into disrepair. We returned when the next owner bought it, improved it greatly, and lived on-site, caring for the place like an onsite owner would. And now a company owns it again. Here's the thing: companies are not people. Companies do not care about your experience. Companies might say nice things and have a guy whose job it is to say nice things and pretend to sympathize. But, in the end, they only care about money. We returned to Cedar Glen this past summer, a family of five. My siblings were priced out and my father was too ill to make the trip. So it was with a heavy heart, but open mind, I made this trek with my husband and kids. The heart was heavier when the prices were increased 25-40% over last year's. The heart was heavier still when we were misled (I won't say "lied to," buuuut) about our discount, which we have enjoyed while there have been people--not companies--running the place. People who care about relationships. There would be no discount, just like there would be no continental breakfast, no room cleaning, no one to take the trash out if you didn't happen to be there during the correct 15 minutes to ask someone to do it, no extra towels, not enough s'mores, no regular pool deck cleaning, etc. Even the grounds-keepers don't seem to do as much as they used to! I wouldn't say the place is in disrepair, but I don't want to see what it looks like next summer. No one lives on site. There are zero personal touches and zero relationships being maintained. The general manager was MIA, and the person left in charge was there all of 5-10 hours per week and had zero decision-making ability. Oh, he smiled real pretty, but that was it. The rest of the staff was less than incompetent and had no access to extra towels, dishwasher detergent, garbage bags, and other items that paying over $900/night apparently won't get you. All this is to say, after years of staying at Cedar Glen Lodge, we will not return. A cold, soulless company runs it now. I want no part of that.

Our staff is trained to help with all things related to guest service, we pride ourselves in this. We are a small staff, but we will regularly come by and ask if we can pick up trash, replace towels and inquire if they need anything for their stay. All of our employees will absolutely go out of their way to assist any guest at any time. And yes, we are no longer managed by a family that lives on the property but all of our staff has either grown up or are raising families in Lake Tahoe. We strive to bring that same family feeling. We are always attempting to give every guest the best possible experience that stays here. Thank you for the review.

We have been coming to Cedar Glen for the past 9 years with our kids, usually staying for about a week.  The location is great, and we love the cabin and site amenities. After our stay summer of 2022, the property changed ownership. We were excited and hopeful that our experience this past July 30 - Aug 6 would be just as memorable. Unfortunately, that was not the case. tl;dr - Checked into same cabin we have stayed in past years to find: dirty dishes in the dishwasher, bedding that gave my son bug bites in the back of his neck, and old sponge for kitchen use. Asked housekeeping to change linens due to bug bites, and what we received was a plastic bag dumped in front of our door with new pillows in them.  Except for Charlie, who was great, remaining staff seemed unknowledgeable or unwilling to help with many basic requests. ************** The details:  1) After the first night, my son woke up with 3 bites on the back of his neck. We weren’t sure if it was from the sofa bed or maybe mosquito bites from sitting by the firepit. But after a second night where he woke up with 4 more bites in his neck, I went to the reception. I told the lady at the front desk that we don’t usually do housekeeping during our stay, but could we have someone change out the sheets and pillowcases on the sofabed.  She asked if we wanted to replace the entire pillow and I said yes please. Also asked for bath towel replacement and informed her that we would be out around 11 am. She said she would have housekeeping take care of it around 11:30 and made a note. We arrived back to our cabin around 5:45 pm and found a huge plastic bag with 2 replacement pillows and 4 bath towels dumped in front of our door. I had made sure the Do Not Disturb sign was NOT on the door when we left, so that housekeeping would know that they can enter.  So instead of changing the sheets and pillows, they were expecting us to do this? Went to the reception to tell them of the situation. No one was at the front desk, but I tracked down the employee, Liam, onsite. When I told him the situation, all I got was “I’m sorry I don’t know anything about this. We don’t have any housekeeping staff here right now.”  When I asked how this can be fixed, he repeated that there was no note left on the situation and there is no one he can call to change the sheets. So it is essentially my problem.  I pointed out that there was a note left, otherwise, why did someone dump the bag of pillows / towels in front of our door? After that, he acknowledged there may have been some note, but he wasn’t aware of it. Liam said he could give me more pillows and make a note in our account on the situation for the manager, Charlie, the next day. This is the only person on-site for guests to reach out to. I don’t think the service we receive should suffer due to a lack of communication between the staff. For $500+ a night, I would expect that this issue is something they can resolve real time.  In the past 9 years we have been coming to Cedar Glen (before the ownership change), we have never received multiple bug bites from pillows before. I met Charlie the next morning, and he was very responsive. Took responsibility, stated that the situation should not have been handled that way, offered to have housecleaning come in and do another thorough clean, and genuinely wanted to see what could be done at that point to improve our stay.  I appreciated that but told him it wasn't needed, since that specific issue was resolved by us changing the linens ourselves, there were no new bug bites on my son the subsequent night, and I had done another wipe down of the cabin myself already. 2) On that  first night, we were making dinner and I noticed we did not have a complete set of 4 plates that I know is in that cabin’s kitchen. After looking around,  I saw that there were dirty dishes sitting in the dishwasher when we checked in. Again, I went to the front desk and asked for some extra plates so we could have 4 plates to eat. When I explained the situation, the man at reception said “oh, ok” and found me two extra plates. No explanation on why housekeeping didn’t catch this when they cleaned the cabin for our arrival or even an apology for the situation and comment that they would follow up with housekeeping. Similar situation when it came for us to wash the dishes after dinner - I found an old sponge was left for us. I had to go again to the front to ask for a new sponge. These expectations are not new.  We expected consistency with prior years, which included basic clean supplies in our cabin kitchen, clean bedding, and staff that is responsive.  The cleanliness issues are concerning.   3) Less critical, but still annoying were other small things that had changed.  Free nightly s'mores is a highlight that the kids love.  I was told it started at 8pm (though the check-in note said 7 pm).  We arrived back one night at 8:35.  Walked in to request a s'mores bag, and was told they were out.  The guy said that a bunch of people came earlier and they ran out.  When I brought it up to Charlie, the manager, the next morning, he stated that there were definitely enough supplies dropped off the day before and acknowledged that the night staff may have been too lazy to assemble more bags.  Afterwards, I did see Charlie have that employee make more bags to ensure there would be enough that next night.  If we were paying for an economically priced motel, I still wouldn’t be thrilled but figure some of this may happen. But this should not be the experience at Cedar Glen when I am paying 20% more than last year for the same cabin AND experiencing all these issues for the first time in 9 years, which is when property ownership changed.  The prior owners were amazing and we loved our annual trip to Cedar Glen (see my other review from 8 years ago). Our experience this summer seems to be that service, cleanliness, and quality has dropped. Still an amazing location, but I’m not sure that justifies the cost for that experience going forward.  I'm torn on whether to try Cedar Glen again next year.  It has been part of our family's cherished traditions for almost a decade, but this last trip was disappointing and stressful. I find myself checking reviews, since I'm really hoping to see that senior management is making improvements to get things back to the level it used to be. 1) These issues should not have occurred; 2) the onsite staff's response was not acceptable in those instances; and 3) Charlie's responsiveness was great, but we could only provide feedback after we had to resolve these issues ourselves since he was not onsite when it happened.

The good: the bed was a surprisingly comfortable platform bed. The grounds were clean. The Bad: This place is tired. We checked in for three nights with the explicit guarantee of working air conditioning in our cabin. While the very frenetic on site worker was responsive and kind, we felt a bit conned regarding the a/c. The one bedroom cabin was super old school in every way, including poor lighting throughout. It was super hot, >85 degrees. Another "on site" worker came and made an adjustment and said it would get better. It never did. This is a very small establishment. Cars are parked outside your window. People are everywhere: there is zero privacy. This is more like a low-end campground than a "lodge". It all had an institutional feel, was greatly in need of some basic updating, like lighting and creating a reasonable working kitchen in the cabins. My guess is this has seen little renovation since inception but the pricing was no bargain!! We checked out first thing the next morning, found something comparably priced and much better, and are so happy we left.
