We stayed in a partial lake view King room and so happy with the view. It was still a little bit chilly in the evening and we were able to enjoy the beautiful lake view from our room (including sunset). The room isn't big, the fireplace takes up some space, and would be nice to have frig and microwave instead,... More

We stayed at the Timber Cove mid-May- definitely off-season. On arrival we were honestly scared the place had gone out of business because we saw NO cars in the parking lot. We went for the king room, which had a nice lake view but was teeny tiny. There was a glassed off fireplace, controlled by the thermostat on the wall.... More

We stayed here for my birthday. It's a great place right next to the lake. There is a small beach next to it and a pier that you can walk on to look at the clear water of Lake Tahoe. We brought our dog along and I thought it was great that they give you a small bag of doggie... More

Clean and friendly. Our room had two double beds, gas fireplace, widescreen TV, french doors opening onto a small balcony overlooking the beach and a gorgeous view of Lake Tahoe. Room was a bit cramped but nice. Small older bathroom, but clean. With AAA and Best Western membership, the rate was $112. Room are expensive in Tahoe, so we were... More

We have stayed here before. Knowing the room we wanted and having the kids stay in a connected room was easily arranged by the manager Gina, she gave us exactly what we asked for. This was mother’s day weekend but the Motel was not crowded. The free buffet breakfast was good. The Motel gave the mothers attending a beautiful long... More

My wife and I stayed here over a weekend during "off" season. I was happy with the level of customer service I received. The gentleman at the front desk was very helpful in suggesting places to go and eat, and his suggestions were spot on. The breakfast was ok - standard continental also with eggs, sausage, and make-your-own waffles. I... More

The view from our room was perfect, the service was great but the breakfast was less than acceptable. The eggs were overdone, the setup was confusing and crowded, and seating was limited. This was during the off-season, so I wonder how the summertime would be with more people...

The location is great, close to everything and there is a beach out back. The room is compact but clean. While it has a gas fireplace, I found it kind of useless and can be dangerous with small children or pet. Breakfast in the morning has a good selection.

I took my grandkids here to play in the snow, which was great as our room had a sliding door that led out onto the lake and private play area. The help was great, the free breakfast was all you could ask for and it was peaceful. The only drawback was limited seating inside so everyone was all over the... More
