The Cottage Inn at Lake Tahoe

A gem.

The owner and staff are super kind,
Rooms are charming and the location is just perfect, including for skiing in Palissade. The market daily and Spoon restaurant just 200 ft away are the icing on the cake.

If you re looking for the opposite of an impersonal hotel, this place is for you.

The perfect cabin getaway near Tahoe City. My wife and I stayed here during a ski trip to Palisades and absolutely loved it. The location is perfect because you are close to Palisades, but still far enough from Tahoe City that it is quiet.

The rooms are cozy and the decor matches the Tahoe scenery. Our room had a small fireplace that really warmed up the room. It can be a little bit tricky to manage the temperature in the room when it gets cold at night though.

The breakfast boxes were such a pleasant surprise. You fill out a small form the day before and leave it outside your room. You select the food options, such as yogurt, granola, fruit, hard boiled egg, pastry, and egg dish (frittata or so) as well as the pick up time in 30 minute increments. I ate the whole thing, went skiing, and was full until almost 3pm. So delicious and filling. Not sure about those with food allergies and sensitivities.

We will definitely be coming back for another trip.

Great little place with loads of charm. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Boxed breakfasts were surprisingly tasty and a great start to our days.

This place is the BEST!!! Everything about our stay was beyond excellent. The staff was warm and friendly and the self check in and out process was great too. The room was perfect for our needs and exceeded my expectations!! Sometimes, you look at pictures and it looks great but once you get there, you're a little disappointed, NOT THIS PLACE!! We are definitely making this our go to place when we return to Tahoe. Even our four legged son had a great time and felt comfortable. We can't wait to come back. Thank you Playpark for making our get away perfect!!! See you next year!

Our stay was lovely. The Cottage Inn was so cozy, and whoever is cooking breakfast knows what they’re doing. It was delicious, we didn’t need to eat lunch. The rooms are comfortable and the everyone we met and who worked there was friendly and kind.
