We stayed 3 nights on a ski trip. Great location with a grocery store across the street, lots of restaurants within walking distance, and 10-15 minute drive to the mountain. Perfect for our needs.
Excellent spot In Tahoe City (15 minutes to Alpine Meadows) with unique atmosphere and solid attention to detail in terms of presentation. Comfortable beds in a cozy room. Really nice lounge/reception area and 3 different fire pits on charming patios. Super nice and helpful staff (shout out to Casey)! Couldn’t have expected much more. Very cool vibe.
Check in and out was easy! Like how they communicate through texting and loved that it was dog friendly and walking distance to restaurants shops and the lake
Casey and Johnny are great ambassadors to the Basecamp Tahoe City. They are professional, friendly, and really nice people. Thank you for making our stay amazing!
Friendly staff, great location. Rustic themed decor, basic but comfortable. Paid surge pricing for the holidays and cannot get over the price vs service factor but that is to be expected.

Disliked: Staff & service
I have stayed here previously and really enjoyed it. I was refused service by the desk staff on Sunday, January 26th as I was there with a female partner and was treated hostiley. The desk staff cancelled our reservation with no explanation leading me to believe that the decision was discriminatory against us. I followed up with the Manager who is not responding to my emails.
Quiet and available when I got snowed into Tahoe. However, it's 30 minutes from Truckee. A simple space with cute ski designs. The one thing that I didn't like, however, was the place was severely doused with something that smelled like Fabreeze. I don't use scented laundry products. It reeked and all my pajamas and ski clothes ended up smelling like the Goodwill. I set some of it aside and it took 1.5 months for the smell to go away. I tried washing some and it made my others clothes reek. There has to be a less stinky way to keep the place clean. The lobby was fun, staff nice.
