Cedar Pines Resort — Hotel in South Lake Tahoe

I rented 2 cabins for 4 days. Price was high BUT it's a holiday week so comparable to off days, not too bad. The cabins are cute but nothing to write home about. It's like a tiny house which is nice because it's pretty private. Each cabin appears to be the same size so it seems like no one is getting more or less space for their dollar. I think each cabin is owned separately so depending on the owner is how it's decorated, supplied and cared for. Our first night wasn't the best as we were unable to sleep in one of the beds because an animal peed on it and it wasn't replaced. The owner was unaware but was quick to respond to the problem which was great. He did purchase a new mattress which made the situation much better. Just sucked that we had to deal with it at 11pm. The cabin is not supplied with any blankets so bring your own. If I had known we were only going to be supplied sheets, I would've brought blankets, it's chilly at night. Cabins can hold up to 8 comfortably but not everyone is going to be able to drink or eat anything at the same time as you are only given a few kitchen items. For the price you pay, it's not supplied very well. There's a resident that lives in one of the cabins that was super helpful and so welcoming to anyone who comes by. We had a step that kept lifting as we stepped on it and my 70 year old aunt darn fell which freaked us all out. My husband ran into that resident and he grabbed a hammer and within minutes he was fixing our step. If you happen to rent a cabin while he's staying here, I'm sure you'll meet him. Great guy for sure. Would I rent here again? Knowing what I know today, YES. It was perfect for our family reunion and celebration of life for my mom (Tahoe has been a family vacation spot since the 40's so celebrating my here was the reason for the trip). It's cozy for being with family. We were able to have all 3 of our kids and their spouses join us and be in the same cabin. Having all my boys under one roof hasn't happened in over 5 years since they all grew up and have places of their own. My baby sister and her family, my aunt and best friend stayed in the second cabin. Yes, we would 100% stay in any of the cabins again. Great location for all. Close to the lake, shopping and eating. Treat this place like you're in a hotel with a kitchen and bring things to cook with, eat on, drink from and don't...

|Unfortunately this accommodation is far from what it claims to be...a RESORT. It's more like a trailer campground. The following are the list of items that future guests should know what we encounter on our stay at Cabin #15||1. It claim to offer full kitchen. There are 8 plates, bowls, mugs and glasses. Cutlery. A set of pots and pans and utensils. That's it. |No knife or cutting board or can opener, colander or serving dishes. Owner said they don't provide. |(He did buy a new set of knives and can opener after we called)||2. The electricity went out for over 2 hours. We have to cook in the dark using flashlight. Thing is it's only our cabin, and not any others in the entire compound. |( They did come and fix it, but we were told not to use the microwave for the night and only a few lights)||3. The heater was so loud that we can only turn on for a short time so we can sleep. It is really ridiculous when we have read reviews from others of the same situation and nothing was done to make any changes||4. The futon sofa bed was broken. So we have to put the futon on the floor. We texted the owner but he did not even answer. I guess it was too much on one night. At this point we thought that he would move us to a different cabin.||4. The bathroom over the sink light was missing 2 light bulb and it was not even working. ( we decided not to even mentioned it to the owner)||5. The insinkerator was not working||6. The loft ceiling is really really low about 4 feet high so we have to kneel. Wish this was stated in their ad.|Because some of us had bad knees problem. ||7. Last but not least we were charge $48.00 more from booking.com ||From the list above we hope that they will make some kind of adjustments with the price. It's truly a big...

Hot, cramped, dirty, poorly maintained. HORRIBLE. Don’t understand the positive reviews. We stayed in cabin 11. Broken glass all around it outside. Mold in kitchen sink. Cupboards hanging off hinges. Doors rotting at the bottoms. Half the lightbulbs were burnt out or missing and no replacements. Tub/shower had dirty footprint and hair in it when we arrived. The beds are not real beds. The queen in the bedroom was just a box spring on a wooden platform. The 4 beds in the loft were really two mattresses and two box springs on the floor. All smoke alarms had no batteries! Garbage disposal had no rubber cover so when we turned it on, food sprayed up! The bedroom was so tiny and cramped only one person could walk in it at a time. Furniture was crappy. WiFi was crappy. The people in a neighboring cabin told the maintenance guy there was a dead rat in his cabin. His response: “At least it’s a dead one.” Oh, and these are not really cabins. They are little RVs dressed up to look like cabins, all close together so the place feels and sounds like a trailer park. Electricity went out our last night there. No onsite management. I think each unit is individually owned so there is variation. We called and asked for a refund the day we arrived and were refused, so we were stuck there. I can’t believe they are...
