I love how it’s close to everything from Tube tahoe and other surrounding stores even a community hospital. It wasn’t what I saw from the photos but a great place to stay for 2 adults and 2 kids. We had the ease of checking in early (with additional fee of course) but it kept us warm and cozy during an expected snow rain. Thank you Emerald Bay Village! Will definitely come back again!

It was ok. Nothing special. They gave us 2 bath towels for a 5 day stay - I did message the number provided and got 2 more. There is no one onsite if there’s an issue. With all the options in town I’ll stay somewhere else next time

My family and I (a group of 3) stayed in the standard cabin for one night. We paid about $400, and I am disappointed this amount was paid with the condition the lodge was in. When we first came in there was a horrible fishy smell- like fried fish. I am not sure where this smell came from as there is no stove in this lodge. The towels were dirty and torn, and the mini fridge did not close properly. I had to take images to assure this gets taken care of. I felt like the stay was not worth the cost. The most basic necessities were dirty and/or not capable of being used. Disappointed to say the least. Not worth the money.

This property was an absolute game changer for our family. With 3 teens that covet their privacy, this cabin worked perfectly. Very easy access and parking. It was clean, cozy and beautifully furnished. It is within walking distance to numerous great food options, including an artisan pizza place. Also a grocery store if you want to make your own meals. The fully equipped kitchen was fantastic! It had everything we needed and more. The 3 bedroom family cabin was very spacious, plenty of room for a family of five. It was so relaxing! There is minor road noise but it felt more like a pattern of white noise and wasn’t distracting. We loved the experience at this property so much it has changed how we will plan our vacations from now on!

Sour Tahoe Mini Resort with Cabins
Great gem in South Lake Tahoe, close to dining (Elmers and the Y restaurants/Cuppa Tahoe) and Raleys. Convenient to I-50 and exploring S Tahoe. Loved our two bedroom cabin with kitchenette. Comfy. Clean. Nice extras like coffee and tea, creamers etc, toaster, microwave and mini fridge made for ability to “cook” basics and store leftovers, extra blankets, bedside “white noise machines” and ceiling fans made rooms cozy for sleeping. Loved that they supplied shampoo/conditioner and hairdryer as extra touches, plus roomy closets and comfy beds with lots of pillows. Outside shared seating area with bbq and games like cornhole, made for nice spot to hang out under the trees. Definitely will stay again!

Very nice, well-stocked, clean, compact room in a great location, but... upcharges. No staff on site and electronic check-in was a pain. Especially as the wifi was spotty during check-in, and for most of the night. And I was able to report on the wifi for most of the night, as the bed aggravated my backaches, and I could barely sleep. Im sure others have had a better experience, but I myself wont be back.

Overall the cabin and stay were great, very comfortable and updated. My only complaint was the walls are too thin, the family staying next to us were pretty loud late at night and really early in the morning. We were woken up at 5am because of the chatter.

Normally enjoy staying in hotels for the convenience but saw this and decided to take the jump. It was a nice experience overall but I feel like they could’ve done a better job cleaning the room. I noticed 2-3 spider webs (big ones so they didn’t look newly formed) which I understand since it’s a cabin and close to nature. But when I saw spiders (5-6) crawling in my bed it made me uncomfortable. I had to go out and get some bug spray to get rid and feel somewhat comfortable sleeping. If bugs bother you a lot I would avoid it according to my experience, if not it’s a different experience. Closely located to a lot of food/convenience stores. Parking was easy. Check in and check out process was almost seamless, overall 4/5

These have been remodeled and are cute inside. The problem is there was no heat and they knew that going into a cool holiday weekend. Also, the walls are so thin you hear everything from your neighbors. The units weren’t all full, so there should have been a room left between us and the neighbors.

Kind a cute place, nicely decorated cabin. Centrally located in Emerald Bay village. Taking a shower however was another story. The shower designed made it very difficult to have a shower without bumping onto the shower faucet.

We weren’t made aware beforehand that there is no front desk for check in. Our studio had everything we needed but the fan in the bedroom had obviously not been cleaned in a very long time. As cute and functional as the cabin was I expected it to be cleaned considering how much we paid for the cleaning fee alone.
