The room was amazing. Very clean. The property is well maintained. There are more amenities than listed. It didn't list that there was a microwave and there was. There was glasses, paper towels, first aid kit, dish soap and sponge. The beds were very comfortable. We rented the room with a queen bed and bunk beds. The walls are kind of thin so we could hear the neighbors quit well but everyone that was staying during our stay were very friendly. There is washer and dryer on property to use. The BBQ area for everyone to use is great. Tables and chairs and fire pits to enjoy. Small park right behind for little kids or a basketball hoop which our son enjoyed as we were there for a basketball tournament. Corn hole for everyone to use. The room had lots of little added touches to make it feel very comfortable. Beautifully decorated. I would definitely recommend to family and friends. We will be back.

Great weekend getaway spot.

Nice cabin just on the Main Street with everything nearby. Was initially a little disappointed that it had no AC, but at night it cools down to 65-68 with the windows cracked and fans on so it ended up being no big deal. Overall very nice for a good weekend getaway.

Overall the cabin and stay were great, very comfortable and updated. My only complaint was the walls are too thin, the family staying next to us were pretty loud late at night and really early in the morning. We were woken up at 5am because of the chatter.

Emerald Bay Village cabin

Kind a cute place, nicely decorated cabin. Centrally located in Emerald Bay village. Taking a shower however was another story. The shower designed made it very difficult to have a shower without bumping onto the shower faucet.

I love how it’s close to everything from Tube tahoe and other surrounding stores even a community hospital. It wasn’t what I saw from the photos but a great place to stay for 2 adults and 2 kids. We had the ease of checking in early (with additional fee of course) but it kept us warm and cozy during an expected snow rain. Thank you Emerald Bay Village! Will definitely come back again!

I loved the quaintness of the outside of this property, combined with the modern, completely updated interior. Nothing was lacking - it was super comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully appointed. Bonus - the drawer with zip-lock bags!!!! attention to detail here is obvious and we loved it. We'll be back!

Almost great

We stayed here and went skiing at Sierra at Tahoe. Great location, Convenient to restaurants and Sierra. Extremely convenient parking right in front of the door. Nice interior. Kids loved the bunkbeds. Nicely decorated and renovated. Only complaints related to noise: the walls are thin and you can easily hear the guests in the next room. Also, the heater is noisy and makes banging noises which woke me up. The kids slept fine and it is their favorite place to stay in Southlake Tahoe.

Sour Tahoe Mini Resort with Cabins

Great gem in South Lake Tahoe, close to dining (Elmers and the Y restaurants/Cuppa Tahoe) and Raleys. Convenient to I-50 and exploring S Tahoe. Loved our two bedroom cabin with kitchenette. Comfy. Clean. Nice extras like coffee and tea, creamers etc, toaster, microwave and mini fridge made for ability to “cook” basics and store leftovers, extra blankets, bedside “white noise machines” and ceiling fans made rooms cozy for sleeping. Loved that they supplied shampoo/conditioner and hairdryer as extra touches, plus roomy closets and comfy beds with lots of pillows. Outside shared seating area with bbq and games like cornhole, made for nice spot to hang out under the trees. Definitely will stay again!

This property was an absolute game changer for our family. With 3 teens that covet their privacy, this cabin worked perfectly. Very easy access and parking. It was clean, cozy and beautifully furnished. It is within walking distance to numerous great food options, including an artisan pizza place. Also a grocery store if you want to make your own meals. The fully equipped kitchen was fantastic! It had everything we needed and more. The 3 bedroom family cabin was very spacious, plenty of room for a family of five. It was so relaxing! There is minor road noise but it felt more like a pattern of white noise and wasn’t distracting. We loved the experience at this property so much it has changed how we will plan our vacations from now on!
