We unfortunately cannot predict or guarantee what mother nature and weather conditions do. What we can guarantee is that you will have the room you reserved for the dates you reserved it. Please verify road conditions and travel plans as far in advance as possible. All Online Travel Agencies and cancellation policies are firm.

 

We have options for cancellation/refund/rescheduling your stay if your cancellation period has passed and all access into Lake Tahoe is restricted (if roads are open these options do not apply):

  1. 50% reduced cancellation policy — 1-night stays aren’t eligible.
  2. Resell the room — We can try and resell the room, and if successful, we will refund whatever the difference is toward your reservation charge if the room is rebooked (There are no guarantees the room will be rebooked).
  3. Waive the reservation change fee and credit your stay — We will allow you to move your reservation or get a credit for the amount of your reservation to book another stay (must be within 4 months of your booking to apply).
