Rooms need complete renovations and walls are thinner than paper. There's no restaurant - maybe there's one in the winter, as other reviewers mention food, but we only got breakfast, which was good for what it was. Any sort of food available would've been fantastic. We stayed in a suite, which was overpriced and large but poorly laid out. The... more

Stayed at Granlebakken while skiing Northstar. 30 - 40 minute drive but worth it. Rate included full breakfast and lift tickets. Small room with fireplace - logs provided. Older facility but well maintained. Mixture of skiers and people attending business conference. Lots of good restaurants nearby. more

Granlibakken Resort was recommended to us by several friends who have had consistently great experiences at this family friendly resort located just outside Tahoe City. We gave it our first try two seasons ago and have returned three times since. The lodge and grounds have a Nordic/ European feel and the rooms - while not luxurious are clean, comfortable and... more

Probably the worst experience ever trying to book a reservation with a hotel. First time I called, they recorded our reservation as a suite instead of a condo, so we had to call back to get that fixed. Then I tried to move our reservation up a few days, but there reservation system went down for A WEEK. When I... more

I heard Granlibakken would be a good place to hold our medical refresher conference. What we experienced was a continent, comfortable, all-inclusive, environment. At every step of the way, Granliabakkens staff was easy to work with, and accommodating to our changing needs, the food was unbelievable too. I would not only recommend Granlibakken to any and everyone, I look forward... more

This is a great resort for a meeting. They are very accommodating and exceptionally eager to please. The food is beyond great. Excellent food every meal. Some rooms have fireplaces. I can't wait to go back there in September. more

My dad and I stayed at the Granlibakken for a seven-day conference. We tried to book two rooms online, but due to some “glitch” we were only given one room. After several unreturned phone messages, my dad finally got in touch with the reservationist to verify that we had two separate rooms, which they assured us we did. Upon arriving,... more

If you are a skier, you should try this place. I have friends that have stayed here several times, and we finally gave it a try. It's not ski in/out, but you can't beat the value. We had a really big, nice, spotless room. The breakfast is outstanding, and the rate ($109/person) included a lift ticket to Northstar, Squaw Valley,... more

We visited Granlibakken Lodge as part of a conference group. The Lodge is very comfortable, the food was excellent, and the staff went out of their way to meet our requests. We even had a personalized hike led by none other than the general manager. The staff served indoor or outdoor meals depending on the weather, and the variety of... more

As the manager of a conference that has held it's annual meeting at Granlibakken for the last 31 years, I am glad to have this opportunity to express my appreciation for the tremendous service and amenities it has made available to us. The staff is very aware of our needs, and they actually remember our needs from year to year.... more
