Great place to stay for a view of Lake Tahoe. Kids were able to play on the beach and in the snow. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms have gas fireplace and are very cozy. The beach is very nice and in the winter there is a small hill to sled on. The longest pier out into the lake... More

I booked online at the hotel website for a beach facing 2 double bed room. Arrived at the hotel, and they couldn't find reservation. They have 2 systems (pegasus and their own) and my reservation didn't get recorded on their hotel system. They commented that this is a constant issue for them and next time please use expedia or call... More

Plus: Parking in front of room door makes ski gear loading/unloading easy Room is not horrible once you're inside. Think remodeled 1960's TravelLodge with 2003 design. Walk across parking lot for breakfast at Heidi's Cons: Well, it's not really even 3-stars now, is it? It's a budget place. Next time I'll skip Hotwire and book a place I know for... More

We stayed two nights here in one of the 2nd floor balcony rooms, you could literally throw a stone into the lake from our balcony . The location is ideal, it would be an excellent choice for the 4th of July because of its location right on the beach. Beautiful sunset views right from your room, quiet grounds, updated rooms,...

This review is for the Beach Retreat & Lodge at Tahoe, the old Best Western Timber Cove and it is for a summer stay. It is a great summer location, right on the lake, close to golfing, Starbucks, Safeway and many other things that we found really helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable and it was ideal for a... More

My only gripe with this property was that they did not completely honor my original terms of booking, which was done when the hotel was still a Best Western Property. they did not honor the free breakfast, which was one of the primary reasons I had booked this place (since we were traveling with kids). That said, their in house... More

We stayed over late December for a ski holiday. The lake view is unbeatable. Our room was 50 feet from the shoreline. True they do not have refrigerators, but in winter we just used the balcony. It is 2 minutes from Ski Run Blvd. Has ski rentals next door, a CVS two doors down, and a Safeway across the street.... More
