Fodor's Expert Review Cedar Glen Lodge

6589 N. Lake Blvd., Tahoe Vista, California, 96148, USA

Cedar-shingled cottages and a two-story lodge form a horseshoe around this compact, woodsy property's central pool, picnic, and play areas. The look inside and out is classic alpine rustic, with the guest accommodations' wood floors, trim, and furniture driving the point home. Some cottages have kitchens and fireplaces. There's a heated pool open seasonally, and the hot tub remains fired up year-round. The cottages come with one or two bedrooms; because the lodge sits on a rise at the property's back end, the views south to the lake are among Cedar Glen's best.
