The hotel itself is a bit of a disappointment after reading the lenghthly upscale description on…read morethe website. The outside walk to the pool is the equivalent to those found in less expensive motels. The promise of a private beach for Landing guests is very misleading. Use of it required ticketed entry. No chairs or umbrellas except expensive rentals from another location (not available most times). OK, now the plusses. The staff including the new GM were welcoming and helpful. But the hit of our stay was the restaurant. Their cuisine was as good as any restaurant we've been to. Their chef produced absolutely outstanding menu choices and presentations. The waiter crew were friendly and professional with special consideration to Clay who made our evening meal choices memorable. Overall, with some needed structural enhancements to the hotel, itself, it would live up to its web description. Thank God for the restaurant.

Just book it, especially if you have fur babies!…read more My husband and I live in Reno and wanted to book an anniversary trip to Tahoe that we could take our senior Weimaraners. We also have a friend who is a photographer and we haven't had professional photos taken since our wedding 18 years ago so we thought The Landing would be the perfect place since they host weddings here and it's right next to the beach. There are so many excellent parts to mention but I will start with the staff. From the moment we walked in, everyone was so friendly and welcoming to us and our dog. Our 15 year old had just passed and so our 12 year old was a little lost and loved all of the attention. She was treated just like one of the family. They even allow dogs on the free shuttle which is so perfect so we were able to go into the village and have lunch with her. It's a downhill walk back and so pretty, so we enjoyed the fresh air back. They upgraded our room and the views of the lake were perfect. It was so easy taking Juno out for potty breaks. It was extremely quiet and clean. The heated floors and toilets are a nice touch. We had dinner one night in the restaurant and it is the best meal I've had in Tahoe. The Venison is unbelievably tender and flavorful. My husband loved his homemade pasta with huge prawns. Our server, Kevin, went above and beyond to make the night special. They even let us take a few pictures in the bar area which I think turned out really cool with all of the bottles and colors in the background. Of course we all come for Tahoe! This place is right on a perfect spot. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets, some trees and grassy areas also made for perfect pictures. We were there right at the start of Memorial Day weekend so it was extremely quiet and peaceful. I'm sure it will get busy in the height of summer but even then being able to walk across the street from your room makes it so convenient. We want to thank everyone at The Landing for a perfect trip! We can't wait to do it again!

Dine in for breakfast at coming Monday. Pool was open and could get busy during the evening hours. Hotel lobby could use some newer couch cushions. Out dated and stained. I like the double bed room separate from living area. The bed was comfortable. The restroom was well lit and clean. Cons is hotel has no self parking only valet parking and the price for valet $40-70 a day. I thought that was a bit high considering they already charge for resort fee on top.

After a long drive to Lake Tahoe our first road trip with our 23-month-old we were exhausted and looking forward to relaxing. The front desk agent, Rachel, made us feel anything but welcome. When we walked up to check in, she didn't greet us or smile. She simply stared at me until I said, "Hi, how are you?" Her response was, "Can I have your ID?" There wasn't even a simple hello. She spoke very quickly, didn't explain any of the additional charges, and just asked for my credit card, saying the total would be $137. I tried to explain that I had prepaid for the room and was told I'd only be paying the $57 resort fee at the property, so I wanted to confirm what the additional charge was. Before I could even finish my sentence, she cut me off and rudely said, "I don't know what you paid for online." While checking out they charge $50 for valet parking and $70 ish for resort fees . So I paid an additional $137 for fees which is insane for one night . At that point, I was too tired to argue, so I just paid. Before I had even finished putting my credit card back in my wallet, she looked right past me and called the next guest forward. There wasn't a line just us and one other person waiting. She didn't tell us where the elevators were, provide any information about the hotel, or even end the interaction with a "Have a nice stay." I had to ask another employee where to go. Lake Tahoe has many hotels, and Margaritaville certainly isn't cheap . So a total of over $400 for one night is not worth the money for this hotel with horrible customer service . For a hospitality business, the customer service at check-in was incredibly disappointing. Families come here to relax and enjoy their vacation, and our very first interaction with the hotel immediately put a damper on our trip. The room was clean but the bed sheets had black dirty stains not sure what it was . The fridge wasn't working either , my toddlers milk ended up going bad . The hotel itself isn't worth the price but the biggest downfall was of how we were treated by Rachel, I wouldn't choose to stay here again.

It truly feels like the…read moreperfect blend of resort-style amenities and a cozy, intimate retreat, all at a really reasonable price. We've visited South Lake many times over the years and honestly had never considered staying here before, but now it's officially our go-to spot. We stayed in the Rubicon wing on the ground floor, and our room had the loveliest fireplace that made everything feel extra warm and relaxing. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed. Homemade cookies were waiting for us, and we loved unwinding with a glass of wine from the happy hour bar in the beautiful lobby. One of our favorite thoughtful touches was the essential oil diffuser bar in the main lodge. You can borrow a diffuser and choose your own oil to bring back to your room, which made the whole experience feel extra special and personalized. The whole property is small, quaint, and impeccably clean, which made it so peaceful to stroll around and take it all in. We already can't wait to come back and next time, we're bringing family with us. Such a special place!

I really couldn't love this place more. Two years ago we went to the Hideout Cabin and it was…read moreincredibly beautiful and so peaceful. You can't beat this location being so close to everything yet feeling off the path and quiet. The lodge is stunning and a wonderful place to relax, have a drink, play a game or read a book. And the cabin feels like a serene home with all the right touches. We couldn't wait to go back. This year we stayed in the King Suite because the cabins were booked. It was still lovely and cozy but more modern feeling than the cabins. It's more of a hotel feel; wood floors would probably help rather than the carpet. It's different than the Hideout Cabin which is probably my favorite place to stay- not just in Tahoe. The hot tub is great but don't expect powerful jets and unfortunately the jets in the suite tub didn't work. That and the lighting in the suite are my only critiques (it's a bit harsh and the bathroom switches are confusing) Still, we are as happy as can be here. The added diffuser bar was a nice touch and surprise because there was a diffuser in the cabin last time we stayed but it's nice you can pick your favorite scent now. The staff here is also fantastic. Very kind and helpful. I wanted to bring our whole family here for Christmas after our first visit but they opted for a large cabin together. After a second trip, I'm even more sure this is the best place in Tahoe to stay. I'd visit the lake JUST to stay here. Thanks, Black Bear Lodge, see you next time!

While we didn't get seated on their nice lakefront outdoor deck as requested, we still enjoyed a great view of the lake from inside. Our server was absolutely amazing. SO kind and attentive! They started us off with complimentary breadsticks and sun-dried tomato hummus, which was a great touch. For mains, I had the halibut (delicious!), and though the overall consensus on the food was "decent, not amazing," the drinks were a massive hit. Everyone in the group loved their "Woody's" (I was the DD, but I can confirm the rest of the party thoroughly enjoyed them!). Parking Tip: You can use their valet service or opt for the pay-to-park lot (first 30 minutes are free, then $2/hour). Overall, the fantastic service, fun atmosphere, and great drinks made it a lovely spot for our celebration!

I ordered the Filet and Scampi, which was decent, but not spectacular given the expectations. The presentation and overall plating lacked fine-dining polish, and the service was just okay. It feels like the prime location does most of the heavy lifting here, which explains the line out the door despite the underwhelming food.
