What we are and what we are not!

Today’s visitor is looking for a memorable holiday experience. Often, Inn by the Lake guest time is tighter than money. Many come to Tahoe not only to enjoy our facilities but also to participate in one of the numerous local events or perhaps a private social or business function. Most find the time to enjoy the natural “beauty and wonder” that surrounds our facilities here in the Tahoe Basin.

Inn by the Lake has always tried to present an accurate reflection of what we represent and offer. However, like most commercial enterprises we focus on the positive and on occasion could be accused of trying to be “all things to all people.”

Following are some thoughts that come to mind of what we are and what we are not:
Inn by the Lake
IS: A family resort catering to all ages.
IS NOT: A Casino Hotel – However, if compelled, feel free to toss your loose change in
the pond located off our lobby. Seriously, this form of adult entertainment is a short
shuttle ride away for those who feel “lucky.”

IS: An independently owned and operated hotel.
IS NOT: A chain hotel, condominium, fractional or timeshare establishment.

IS: Located on 6+ acres, across the street from the El Dorado Beach and THE Lake.
IS NOT: On the beach. Few lodging properties are and the vast majority of beaches are
public.

IS: A non-smoking hotel, featuring a fitness room, pool, bi-level spa, bikes/snowshoes (seasonal) 16-lane bowling center and a deluxe continental breakfast with a focus on healthier menu items.
IS NOT: “Fanatical” about our guests fitness preferences. To each his own! Smoking in not encouraged but allowed on our guest room balconies or patios as long as it does not infringe upon the “space” of a neighboring visitor.

IS: Now 25 years young! Our alpine architecture is circa 1982 and we are proud of it! Each year we upgrade another portion of our facilities and grounds, a never-ending process. With all interior corridors, we are the only “vintage” Tahoe property in South Lake featuring a four-pipe HVAC system (A/C & Heating available year around - outside temp. must be over 55 degrees).
IS NOT: An inexpensive, limited service motel. Nor are we one of the newer chain hotels offering fractional, timeshare or condominium ownership. Most of these are really quite nice but offer a different experience at Stateline.

Well I guess that is enough for now. Surely, I have alienated enough market segments for one posting. Those of you that are left, please come up to stay with us soon. The weather has been unbelievable this summer!
Best Regards,
