Gravity Haus Truckee-Tahoe

I stayed at Gravity Haus Truckee for 5 nights in February 2026. This was my second stay at this property, and. I was travelling alone on both visits. During my first visit, I injured my knee while skiing, and although I was able to walk it was painful. I am so grateful to Grayson who helped me check out of my room and load my car. His kindness and assistance weren't expected but will never be forgotten and for this reason, I will always stay at Gravity Haus for any future visits to Truckee. During my most recent visit, the hospitality and level of service once again went above and beyond my expectations. The property is clean, quiet, and centrally located to multiple activities and resorts.

This place came recommended by a doctor I travel to see in the area. Very clean, modern rooms. We really liked the overall feel of the property. Salted caramels on check in, loose tea bags and coffee bags in the room, local products to buy in the room if desired, and mindfulness towards sustainability were really appreciated. Bed and bedding was very comfortable. Appreciated That they had an electric kettle, microwave, mini fridge, small sink, and basic reusable dishes in the room we selected . We were traveling with two small kids and booked their largest room. The futon isn't the most comfortable bed but it was perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids. The check-in lobby area was also super comfortable and welcoming- a good place to work on your laptop or play cards. Location is close to the grocery store and quick drive to downtown so super convenient. Only minor suggestion would be to try to not run the vacuums before 9:00 a.m.. we are early risers so it didn't bother us, but I was surprised to hear the vacuum turn on in our hallway before 9 am And unfortunately sound travels a bit so if I had been trying to sleep in I might have been a little frustrated but this was very minor for us. All in all we will definitely stay here again and recommend to friends.

Overall good experience. Rooms were spacious. No closet but provide coat hooks. Power went out once from electric kettle and again for no reason. Had to walk out to front desk 2x since no one picked up the phone and ask them to flip the breaker. Staff were friendly overall but they loose points for electrical and no one to pick up the phone when the power went out. No elevator to the room we stayed in so travel light. Breakfast was affordable and convenient.

My husband and I had a fabulous staycation at Gravity Haus. From out first interaction with Ian who put us in his favorite room to Scott to all the room staff, the service and facilities were impecable! Bailey and the restaurant team at Stella provided us with a delicious dinner. The accommodations were perfect for us and our two golden retrievers. Thank you all! We will definitely be back!

Our weekend at this inn was extraordinary. The room was large, comfortable, and beautifully designed. Safety felt thorough, allowing us to relax completely. Meals and drinks were amazing, with fresh ingredients and creative presentation. The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating, assisting with planning a surprise celebration. Noteworthy touches like evening lights, cozy nooks, and charming decor made the stay feel luxurious. The serene setting allowed us to unwind while enjoying a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Every aspect of our stay, from the service to the accommodations, was excellent. We’ll definitely return for another memorable visit.

Gravity Haus Truckee-Tahoe is in a beautiful location, and the entire property is kept immaculate — truly a pleasure to walk into. When we arrived, Cody at the front desk greeted us with genuine warmth and made us feel very welcome. The restaurant service was excellent as well. Our waiter, Jason, was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the food cooked by German was outstanding. We really enjoyed our meal. If there’s one small area for improvement, it would be for Stephen at the front desk to show a bit more friendliness and acknowledgment toward guests. A simple greeting or smile goes a long way. Aside from that, everything was excellent. Thank you very much to the team for making our stay enjoyable!

Great hotel, right in Truckee, close to Lake Tahoe and great hiking trails. Love that they use non-scented products for the rooms, towels, linens and everything feels very natural. Really spacious modern clean rooms with outdoor patio and appreciated having a proper desk and sofa. It has a warm and welcoming lodge feel and I appreciated the free coffee, comfy lounge area, really awesome large co-working space, restaurant with delicious food right on property. Loved having fitness center with treadmill and weights, sauna and hot tub. Staff were all helpful and friendly and down to earth. Great value for money. I could hear the traffic from the main road from my room which is really my only minor complaint. That said, I will definitely be back, thank you!

Gravity Haus is such a great find! The hotel is super nice, modern, and beautifully updated while still feeling cozy and quiet. The staff is truly welcoming and helpful from the moment you arrive—they really make you feel at home. The on-site restaurant is both delicious and stunning, definitely worth dining at during your stay. The location couldn’t be better—just steps away from plenty of great restaurants and shops. Highly recommend staying here for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway!

The hotel was good. The location and property size is very good along with the service team. We found the staff very friendly and helpful. There are a few things that made the stay less great, like the motion sensing light in the bathroom. The lights would go off numerous times while in the shower, thus you have to step out mid-shower to reactivate the light. It's a huge annoyance, but also a safety issue, especially with young kids. Also, the restaurant being closed during the busiest week in Truckee created a lot of extra stress in finding places to eat for dinner. Wish it was disclosed that the restaurant wouldn't be open ahead of time. This hotel has the potential to be really great.

What a great place!.... for the price we paid. We would never pay $310 plus, but we got a deal during their off-season for $176. It's definitely worth the off-season price! Two of us stayed in a double queen room, BUT there are two queen beds, so a family could definitely stay here. We arrived on a Monday evening around 5:30 PM and appreciated the convenience of the amenities. We signed a waiver and used their free bikes to bike to the Plaza with great food options. We chose to eat at Drunke Monkey, just one cul-de-sac away(which will be a different review) We arrived back to our place and put out our cute wooden door hang. Took a shower in our fancy restroom, and headed to the outdoor hot tub. It was magical, and the clear sky view with the beautiful trees was just a cherry on top. We soaked for about an hour and chatted with many others. It seemed people were friendly, BUT the clientele is definitely catered towards causation people. Just from observation, which was okay. We went back to the room, just know you can't eat inside the room. And slept soundly. The next morning, we gpt some breakfast sy the restaurant on site. We wished we could stay longer, but we had to catch a Amtrak(that ended up being 5 hours late, so we could've enjoyed the amenities). We did check out at 11AM per instructions, but they stowed our bags for us as we continued to check out the property. We checked out the gym and the sauna. Then we were ready to head out. Overall, the stay was amazing for the off season price. I think if I skiied more often, I would sign up for their club.

Gravity Haus was a perfect place to stay while skiing in Tahoe. The rooms are very comfortable and the lobby was the place to unwind and play games with my 5 year old. Stella, the onsite restaurant, is a true gem and has much better food than most places around, and definitely one of the better hotel restaurants I've dined at with its menu of interesting and unique breakfast items. Staff were very kind and accommodating. Already plotting another visit!

In spite of some the reviews here on yelp I had a great experience. I stayed on the 2nd floor when I arrived my room was nice and cold the AC worked great it was one of the best nights rest I have had in a hotel. The bed was comfortable the room was spacious and clean. They even had a cookie for me on check in. love the location the beauty of forest right outside your balcony. trails, e-bikes, paddle boards all kinds of rentals.

A hidden gem in Truckee! Accommodations were superb! clean, modern, well maintained! We ate dinner at their on-site restaurant called Stellas! Chef Jesse is awesome! Came out to our table and delivered short ribs that he cooked with perfection using local marigolds and pickled shallots to add very unique and tasty flavors! Tomato Bisque was the best I've ever had! Highly recommend!

Such a disappointing stay. The sheets are old and pilling, it's extremely noisy, you can hear people walking in the floor above and worst of all they don't make up your room unless you ask. Mind you, they don't tell you this at check in, you are required to read the book in the room to know this. What a joke. This hotel has really gone down hill. So many better options to stay in town. I won't be back!

We stay in Marriott's about 75 days a year and booked at your place instead of their property close y. Honestly, we felt immensely misled by the images. The design of the rooms felt fairly disjointed and while we can appreciate touches like the Thuma bedding, the linen felt cheap, the walls are painted in high gloss, a bag of five gummy worms costs $1.50, and it just felt more like a show room than a quality homely experience. The doors don't even close behind you when leaving which seems like a huge security risk. It's a two dimensional experience. Pretty disappointed as we hoped to become regulars. If any part of you views the photos and wonders of it actually feels as nice as the photos - it doesn't. For example, the wood across the property feels like an addition more than the way it was built. Stained 4x4's that are framed in the hallways for example. Also, the most expensive King rooms are all on corners of the building, so your door (which does not close automatically) will be maybe a foot or two to the building entrance, which is also insecure. No complains at all~$150 but for $215, there's poor value here.

Multiple great things to say about this place. Our check-in was just awesome. Josh went above and beyond to take care of us. The hotel was clean very very clean and met all our expectations. FYI, we love the interior decor. They have accommodating adult beverages in the check-in area. And coffee in the morning. I can't say enough about the service though. Josh was just awesome throughout our whole stay. Definitely management material. Shelby was also so so great to us. Both of these two went above and beyond.

They do not have air conditioning in the room which is a first for any hotel I've ever stayed in. No fans either. When I inquired about it with the front desk they said just leave the windows open. Leaving the windows open while you're on the first floor next to a road while you're with children is just ... fill in the blank. For this reason alone I'll never return.

We came to Truckee for the weekend to go to a wedding. There was not much availability so we booked Gravity Haus. We got a nice roomy suit. No closets and no safe. The beds are very comfortable with nice sheets and pillows. The rate was ridiculously expensive. The service is good and the rooms are very clean. The rooms are a decent size but you could get a nicer room in Tokyo for less money. That being said hotel rooms prices were very high everywhere in Truckee that weekend. The location is about 5 minutes from downtown on a busy road. No real views to be had. There is a wonderful natural smell of wood all around. The buildings are constructed with a combination or exposed steel and wood. The main lobby building and the restaurant have some unique architectural details... Massive exposed beams and supports throughout. They sell Gravity Haus as a kind of base station for guys into rock climbing and mountain biking but that's marking fluff. The gym is pretty basic but they say they are getting more equipment soon. We had breakfast at their restaurant "Stellar". Nothing to write home about. I would definitely go into town instead. Lots of free coffee and good tea in the lobby.

Loved our stay here! The room was very spacious, with slick modern designs. The loose leaf herbal tea was a super nice touch! Comforter was also tucked in a way that's neat. The jacuzzi was nice and clean. Sauna was clean as new. The little gym has pretty much all you needed.

Nice property with a sauna, hot tub and gym onsite. A short drive to downtown. The room was nice with a comfy bed and everything was clean. Friendly staff. Restaurant on site that serves breakfast and dinner that was mediocre at best.

All in all this is a beautiful property. Much thought went into the overall design. The rooms are modern & spacious. Environmental considerations are obvious. No plastic or paper cups, a recycling bin, soaps & lotions are refilled by the cleaning team. Plenty of places to hang winter gear & a space heater for those chilly days The fridge has cold beverages for your enjoyment along with snacks--check the price list before you indulge. One star removed because the bed looks lovely however, it is one of the most uncomfortable beds I have ever slept on. It provides no support. I tossed & turned all night trying to get comfy. Therefore, as much as I enjoyed everything else, doubtful I'd return since a good night's rest is more important than all the other positives.

Pet lovers Beware! This is a not a pet friendly place, especially if booked thru third party. After booking reservation and prior to check-in, you must have proof you disclosed your pet(s) to them. They will try to up-charge you for a "pet friendly" room plus a $50 "per pet" fee. If you can't pay extra, they will refund your reservation and tell you can go elsewhere. Their pet policy and fees are buried in one of the many "promo garbage" looking emails they send, after initial confirmation is received. After a long drive, haggling, begging for mercy and finally folding with the front desk, I got treated to a cold shower! Front desk failed to tell me about hidden button on shower for hot water, which was limited. Good on site restaurant with nice manager, but didn't receive advertised 20% discount for hotel guests. Grounds and room are nice with comfy bed, but just remember pet lovers, it will cost you, maybe double your paid reservation!

We had the pleasure of staying just one night, Friday night. We want to come back soon. The room was beautiful, hot tub was pristine and so enjoyable under the trees. But the customer service from the front desk to the cafe was so caring and efficient. We really enjoyed our stay and we will be back. We look forward to coming back and spending more time here.

Took a small little trip to Trukee for the annual hot air balloon race. We booked our stay here at the Cedar House and we loved it!!! The cedar house is nestled in a nice little town that has been heavily gentrified. There are coffee shops and yoga studios and several restaurants that i can't wait to try. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The Cedar House also prides themselves on being eco-friendly and they are mindful of that when it comes to waste, plastics and disposable food materials like tea bags and coffee. Overall we loved our stay here and hope to come back soon.

Great clean rooms, great service, excellent location, .... Uuuh and the sauna, do not forget the sauna

Small hotel, with very unique architecture, metal, wood, nature surrounding it every where Recommended!!

The Cedar House Sport Hotel is amazing. The staff are wonderful. We were treated to two complementary glasses of wine because we are celebrating our anniversary. We rented bikes for free and rode down to the Truckee river. We ate dinner at the restaurant on site called Stella. Our gourmet dinners were delicious. We used the Jacuzzi Spa. It was clean and the perfect temperature. This Hotel gets all 10+'s.

Trying to understand the ratings of previous visitors. The rooms are all design and very low on function. When traveling solo, I go to a hotel because I want a safe, private place to sleep -- preferably a cool, dark, quiet place. This place fails that basic test. The room has folding blinds that don't keep the light out; even before I turned the lights out, I could tell the parking lot's light was coming in. There's no backup -- no blackouts or even curtains. The room's AC was strangely unresponsive; I couldn't hear it come on, even though I manually set it to high fan speed and the lowest temperature, and the room stayed hot even though it was not a hot night (another reviewer wrote they have NO A/C; I never would have booked here had I known that -- such a basic thing, I would never have thought to ask, and given climate change, this is going to become a real problem for this location, and is now, as far as this traveler is concerned). (I'm traveling solo and on the bottom floor. Please note "safe" is a critical criterion, above.) So, "safe": This morning I was sitting at the desk and looked to the side and noticed that the sliding glass door (please note, first floor!) was cracked open. Not only that, it took four tries and all my strength and both hands to hold the door closed enough to engage the latch and bolt it. I HAD NOT OPENED IT; it was left that way. At about 5:30 this morning, daylight started coming in through the "blinds." You, dear reader, are the indirect beneficiary -- I spent the last two hours lying on my back, writing this in my head -- but I'm a night owl. The wifi is unsecured. The toilet paper holder, a freestanding unit, tips over unless you use both hands. That's an architectural design problem; the dispenser should be in the wall, preferably alongside the toilet. If you want to read, you can't tilt the bedside table lampshade so it doesn't shine in your eyes, and the base of it takes up a lot of space, given how small the table is. The bathroom light is on a motion detector, so every time you go in, the light comes on AND IT'S BRIGHT! You can't get inside and get the door closed before it comes on, so if you're traveling with anyone who's sleeping despite the ambient light, they're going to wake up. (I was awake on and off all night because of the light, so I guess a secondary, sudden WAKEUP shouldn't be a such a big deal, but -- not nice, not smart.) The bathroom fixtures are weird. There's a box that looks like a paper towel dispenser on the wall behind the toilet; that's the flush valve actuator. The bath/shower controls are dangerous because it takes two hands to operate them; you have to push and turn the temperature control and rotate the directional one, so if you're in the shower and the water's too hot, it's going to take a minute to reduce the temp (I got out through the rear door and went around!). The dispensers for the shampoo, soap, etc., are up so high that you can't think of reaching them if you choose to take a tub. Good workout for your quads, I guess. (Also, the cover on one of them fell off.) You can't tilt the bedside table lampshade so it doesn't shine in your eyes, and the base of it takes up a lot of space given how small the table is. Positives: Quiet (except soothing sound of train whistle in the distance). Lovely setting (but very close to the start of a highway). Clean. Cotton top sheet (I don't think the bottom one is) available in dresser drawer for those who roast due to lack of AC. Not as many LEDS as in many hotels (those keep some people awake). Today I'll drive into Reno to buy some blackout fabric, which I'll tape over the sliding doors' glass. I already have masking tape, which I can use to cover the motion detector in the bathroom. I made the mistake of booking four nights here, so given there no-refunds policy I have to make the best of it -- or at least try to get some overheated sleep.

AVOID THIS PLACE like you would avoid Covid-19. If I could give them a negative star rating I would. I lodged here 2 previous times and completely enjoyed my stays. I planned to stay there this current weekend, but I could not make it due to severe weather conditions. First I asked if I could be refunded, they said no. I asked if they could do what many other businesses do - offer a credit for a future transaction or stay. They had no mercy what-so-ever and refused even a credit for a future stay. All I got from them was "we apologize, we are so sorry but that is our policy". Well you know what, take your apology and shove it!!! Apologies do nothing for reimbursement or a credit for a future stay. Furthermore, if all you can offer is just a pathetic, meaningless and cold apology, that is just horrible customer service, regardless if it is someone's first time wanting to lodge here, or in my case, a repeat lodger here - now I will be a NEVER AGAIN lodger here. I plan on continuing many future visits to Truckee, if Gravity Haus is the only lodging available, I will instead pack my sleeping bag and other necessities, put the truck bed cover on the bed of my crew cab and sleep in the covered bed of my truck.

We stayed at Gravity Haus for a wedding. We're not new to Truckee but we were new to Gravity Haus. Many of the other reviews mention the same experiences we had during our stay. Clean place but staff is pretty much hands off and slow. Restaurant on site was just ok. The front staff aka young girl with a bad attitude and maybe hung over to be honest was slow as molasses and got all our coffee orders wrong. The options for food and drinks is so lacking at the restaurant and the hotel that you might want to do what we did and take advantage of that mini fridge in your room and fill it with what you like. The room was clean but really no views unless you like to look at a storage lot from your deck. The bathroom is a strange configuration with a very heavy hard to function pocket door and the light that was hit or miss. So, if you don't mind going to the bathroom In the dark then you'll be fine. The extra pullout beds in the living room were very uncomfortable for our adult kids. The price we paid for three nights was not worth the accommodations or staff response but it was convenient for three wedding venue. Lastly, I forgot some items in the room... toiletries and medications...and called them but unfortunately, they never called me back after stating they would speak to housekeeping and get back to me. I had to order new medication that come from LA so that was a bummer. Anyway, we survived without any bear attacks from the known prowling bear Would we stay here again? For the price, probably no but If we didn't have a better option then yes. However, we would prefer better accommodations with views and staff response to the needs of their patrons.

"Modern, European Styling" We had the good fortune to attend an event on the hotel grounds, and the manager was gracious enough to show us around the hotel. The first thing you'll notice it's that it's in a European design. The style resembled Denmark, but the manager explained it was a European theme. The lobby area is really cute. I just wanted to sit there, have a beer and relax for a few hours. They insisted, however, I continue on my tour. All of the furniture is quite modern. The beds and linens are in a German style. Honestly, I've never seen anything like them before! In some of the rooms, the back of the beds adjust up and down, almost like a chaise lounge. Everything was bright, cheerful, and modern. I thought the best feature of the hotel was the beautiful fire pit in the courtyard area. You can sit there on a cool evening and enjoy the evening. Naturally there is a bar adjacent to the pit. They're also free bikes that you can borrow. So all-in-all, a really elegant place to stay. Even if you're not a skier you will enjoy the modern, classy surroundings. Note that the nearby restaurant has been completely revamped, with a new, more modern format, and a completely new menu. We tried it recently and it is one special place!

Absolutely LOVED staying here. The rooms were spacious, modern, and cozy. AC worked very well and kept the room cool even during the recent heat wave. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant had great breakfast. My only slight complaint is that the bathroom door was very heavy and didn't have a handle, so it was a bit annoying to open and close, but overall this was a fantastic place and I can't wait to go back!

We stayed at hotel because of highway closure. What a gem we found by accident! Every detail has been well thought out. The rooms are beautifully furnished in a rustic modern flavor, all the needed comforts well taken care of. The rustic beauty of lodge is far more than the cost of stay. The staff is really accommodating and friendly. It's a gem!

Really nice hotel on the fringe of downtown Truckee. Modern, well-appointed and conveniently located close to skiing and restaurants and other businesses. My only nit pick is that the modern furniture is more stylish than functional. I prefer more cushy and comfortable furniture after a day of recreating rather than the psychiatrist office approach in the Cedar House. The king sized bed was super comfortable! Check out the Cottonwood Restaurant nearby, great bar scene!

Comfortable surroundings, good size rooms, useful amenities and Stella's Dining Room serves some pretty good breakfast and dinner. The hotel also provides bicycles that you can take up and down the trails! It's a really good time for a really good price. (We booked during the week), I'm sure prices vary during the weekends. -- Also, it's minutes away from Truckee's main strip. You can probably just cruise down there on your bike.

We will be back! Great customer service. Clean rooms. Nice amenities. LOVED the environmental friendly push. Only complaint.... The pillows were too soft. But that's my preference.

Name change means ownership as well? Anyway the price has been changed about $100 more and what less...... wouldn't go back anymore

This is a delightful boutique hotel that's now under new mgmt. They need to tighten things up a bit as we have stayed here several times before. Beds are not terribly comfortable, they should try putting pillow tops on them. The laundry room below us shakes the building like a L.A. earthquake, and the restaurant had NO basic drip coffee for after dinner desserts or to go..? I know it seems silly but "regular" black coffee is still a good idea for a restaurant. I understand this is a "European style" property but it's still in Cali. I'll still stay here but I want to point out some of these things...

My husband and I and our little Goldendoodle stayed just one night at the Cedar House Sport Hotel, but we will definitely be back! The hotel doesnt look like much from the outside, but the inside is So nice. Rooms are very clean and bedding was super comfortable. They even provided a little doggy bed for our pup. The customer service was great - we dealt with 3 different folks at the reception desk and each one was more friendly than the last. They even went above and beyond to provide an office-like conference room for my husband who had a business Zoom meeting that he couldnt miss. Really enjoyed the stay and will return.

Impressive is what comes to mind when you walk into Cedar House Sport Hotel. I visited for a couple of nights for a conference being held here and could not believe what a nice find this place is. Not only are the rooms very nice with a minimalist theme, but you can really see how hard they worked at making it a very sustainable focused business. They provide reusable water bottles that you can refill in the lobby area, have a couple of bikes you can borrow to get around town, and have electric charging stations at the front. The bathrooms have dispensers instead of disposable bottles. One of the really nice features was the bedding. They provided two individual sized comforters on our king sized bed. This was the first time I didn't have to fight for the blanket with my husband. Genius! Breakfast was provided in their restaurant space, Stella, and had a pretty nice spread. Our meeting room was right across from Stella which had a lot of natural lighting. The property also prepared our lunch and it was really good as well. The snacks they provided at night and the bar was a nice touch. I wish the had dinner service regularly instead of more of a pop-up. I hope to stay up here again next time I'm in the area. So glad to support a business that is focused on sustainability in a way that comes across as natural and stylish. Now I need to find those comforters...

My boyfriend and I love this hotel! It is very posh. The owner revamped it with a European touch and you can see that in every single details that they put in. I even bought their nice water bottles they have! The hot tub is nice too on a cold winter night. The room and facility is very clean and I love their interior design both in the lobby and in the hotel room. Would definitely come back to stay here whenever I'm visiting Truckee.

Disappointed this time around.... I have stayed here before, hence my anticipated stay this time around. After a long day in Truckee's majestic setting, looking forward to my check-in at the Gravity Haus, my cookie awaiting me at check-in. First disappointment no cookie waiting for me. Next, hot shower after a long day in the elements, shower was warm not hot. At least the rest of the night lounging in a robe in the room, nope, no robes hanging on the wall. What the heck, I'll call it a night, the bed had a comforter & a fitted sheet, but no sheet in between. Normally, I fall asleep under sheet. Maybe next time.....

Strong positives: charming boutique hotel with no single use plastics. Interesting furnishings and great snacks, coffee and alcohol. Great duvet bedding. Best positive- extremely dog friendly. Found a dog bed with bone and ball upon our arrival with food bowls ready in the room. Small negatives: noisy location. Right next to the main road lots of traffic noise all day. Not conducive to open windows for cool air.

Have stayed here twice now. First time the room was musty and smelled old, I think it was in an older part of the property, there was someone's hair all over the sink and floor so I do not think it was thoroughly cleaned. That made me not want to stay again but the second time we tried it (due to lack of options), we stayed in a newer room in a different building. No issues that time. A bit overpriced but that's Tahoe. Hot tub easy to access. Overall would probably stay again due to lack of other reasonable clean cute options.

Nice hotel with details taken care of. You get their fresh baked cookie when check in, it's a small gesture but feels pretty good. Our place is experiencing power outage and we brought our Fido with us. They even prepared a dog pad with treat and a set of bowls in the room! I like their architecture design and furniture too. One more thing, their price is actually very reasonable considering it's ski season already.

Thank you so much for hosting us. It's a very modern rustic peaceful vibe. Very close to downtown Truckee. Close to Northstar about 5 miles. The air was super clean. Loved the fire place in the lobby and complementary coffee and tea. It is pricey. Make sure you can walk up stairs comfortably. The tvs could be replaced. My only real criticism is the price / value however ... it does provide location , location , location and a special level of quaintness. Very friendly staff.

In A Nutshell: -The Cedar House Sport Hotel is the perfect place to stay in North Lake Tahoe. -Located just a couple minutes from downtown Truckee, you'll enjoy some of the best sleep you'll ever have in their comfortable beds & quiet wilderness. -The entire facility is made of upcycled materials, which were designed by both the owners & their architect. -If you have a dog, please bring them here! -This is a very dog-friendly hotel & your furry friend will loves taking in the smells & sounds of nature. -Breakfast is available as well as other meals. -If you want to take a dip in their hot tub feel free to do it! -Check in was very easy & their lobby has features a fireplace & a small bar where you can order wine, beer & spirits. Overall, the room we stayed in was very big & the showers were hot. Like I mentioned above, you'll enjoy some of the best sleep you'll ever have!

tl;dr Four stars. The included daily breakfast was the biggest draw for me. The rooms with a balcony are so cute. I was lucky to get a view of the courtyard and not the parking lot. I would still totally stay here again and recommend it to anyone who wants to ski/snowboard at the nearby Northstar resort or other nearby resorts. I'm hypercritical though so here are my notes: ***Bathroom door was ridiculously heavy. The huge, sliding door was very difficult to move in order. It got real tiring if you like to use the bathroom with the door closed. I never knew how many times I go in and out of the restroom to wash my hands, shower, apply makeup... but I dreaded having to go in and out. But the desire for privacy prevailed. I recommend the owners try staying in the room for a day or two and testing out the doors. Breakfast is included which is great. The orange juice was not bad, better than other hotels' oj. After a few days, the hot breakfast items were a bit too repetitive and became meh. They had everything from muffins, bagels, oatmeal, and cereal to hot items like sausage and eggs in chafing dishes. Happy Hour in the lobby varied. One time it was good. Another time it was a large plate of crackers, cheese, and grapes. Jacuzzi was working and was nice, but when I tried to get out - the gate was frozen shut or something. Had to call the front desk guy and as he was walking out to help us, another guest was walking by and we had him use our room card to slide through the lock. Getting into the Jacuzzi area with the hotel card/key was no problem. It was exiting that was not possible without help. Comforter cover was not as soft as I expected. There were two small comforters? I can't remember. But there was some explanation about it being a European style or something. The sheets that cover/protect the comforters would come off during the night, so touching the comforter inserts were unavoidable. The bath towels had a semi-nice design but they were not fluffy or soft. I don't know why. Is it becomes of their "eco-practices" or detergent? The robes were also not soft and fluffy either. They were stiff and "durable" feeling. The toilet paper were not as soft either. It was basic toilet paper you'd find at a school or motel. Some things were "luxury" (architecture of the hotel) and some things were very basic. There is no gym, but I got all the workout I needed on the slopes. I skied at Northstar. I'm guessing the reserve ahead only-tasting menu restaurant Stella & conference| small event was recently renovated? It's pretty cute looking. Never ate there though. The hotel is located somewhat close to a Safeway (supermarket - 10 minute drive) and the small downtown Truckee area with an adequate amount of restaurants. I liked the lobster roll at Morgan's. Overall, I liked the hotel. Make sure you call a couple times in advance to confirm your reservation. I'm not sure what it's like in the summer months, but my stay here in the winter was nice.

Very nice accommodations, clean, friendly and helpful staff. We'll definitely come back again and again. One of the cleanest places we've stayed at in this area.

This is a five star place - they just need to fix the website. My boss booked the weekend for me and when I got there they did not have the reservation and was booked up on the second day. The staff said people forget to press "submit" on the website when booking a room. If you know that is a problem then you should think about changing the website with large lettering saying "you haven't booked your room yet - press submit". I will change this to five stars if they fix that problem. Other than that - I loved the place. Room was nice, pillows and sheets were great, staff was friendly, breakfast was ok. I was disappointed they stopped serving dinner - it was a 4.5 star restaurant.

Perfect place to stay. Customer service and cleanliness of the room was amazing! We will definitely stay here again.

I am pretty much in love! A welcoming lobby with games and relaxing chairs, a lobby bar for after ski, free snacks after ski. Amazing sleep, spectacular in room coffee and a gourmet breakfast. Can't wait to go back!

5 solid stars. Wooden look outside the building but very modern inside. Room was roomy and had everything you need. Robes were in bags- looked good. A lot of towels because they said they don't clean your room every day. European style bedding - very comfortable and good quality. Provided tea, coffee and snacks. I like their boiling water pot- easy, fast and convenient. Don't have enough water for bathtub if you need hot bath after skiing.

Want to give a big shout out to Cedar House for being incredibly gracious on a last minute cancellation due to a family health emergency. Real class & thank you Stephanie for all your help. We will be back for a stay in the future & can't wait !

Loved this quaint hotel! The rooms were great! Staff was friendly and helpful . We really enjoyed our stay and will be coming back!

They shouldn't even allow dogs if they are going to discriminate against certain ones. I was really sad when they said they don't accept any breeds with pit bull in them. My dog is the sweetest and caring dog ever, not a mean bone in him. I'll be sleeping in my car with him, instead of staying here.

Very nice place. Filet steak prepared under sous vide and grilled was smallish but excellent Chicken was great also. Baba ganoush starter was also great. Service on this occasion was above average but not perfect . Desserts were ok but not amazing .
