I came here for a conference and thus had to pay the standard rate of $220 per night, which included all meals, although they were generally not that great. The rooms need serious updating. Despite the description, my room (which was a single bedroom in a townhome that also had an open loft sleeping area occupied by a stranger) lacked... more

If you are looking for privacy in the beauty of Tahoe near the lake. . .this place is for you. I can't say enough for the helpful staff who were kind, professional, prompt, and always went beyond. We are excited about their winter special . . a phenomenal breakfast, room, and ski lift ticket all for only $ 109 .... more

I was here for some meetings in April. Granlibakken is a very basic place to stay so if you just want a place to sleep for when you ski it's great, but if you want some amenities, don't stay here. The people who run the place are very nice. more

I was told by a friend of mine about Granlibakken because his dad stayed there many times for skiing in Tahoe. My requirements for a hotel was that it had to have a pool and hot tub for after skiing and for my kids who like to swim. This resort had both and it was outdoors. That worked perfectly. I... more

My wife & I came down from Oregon to join our son & his girlfriend for two days of skiing in the Tahoe area. We initially checked into a non-smoking unit only to be subjected to clouds of cigarette smoke funneling in from the neighboring (nonsmoking) condo. The management allowed us to shift to another unit at 10:30 pm, for... more

We found Granlibakken to be exactly what we were looking for in this particular trip to Tahoe. 1. Great access to skiing 2. Great access to a snow play area 3. Uncrowded 4. Good environment for families/kids we loved the snow play hill and spend most of our first day saucering down the slopes with the kids. Our room (basic... more

My girlfriend and I had heard of Granlibakken and thought about checking it out for years. Finally booked a weekend in a suite with kitchenette for $240 a night. Turns out the place may have been charming in the 60's and 70's, but is in dire need of a major overhaul. The buildings were built as cheaply as possible, with... more

No A/C in July 2007 with temperatures hovering 100 degrees. The townhouse bedrooms have individual numbers to be bedroom doors, sharing a townhouse with other parties, as in complete strangers. The furniture was outdated. That was all we needed to experience before we checked out immediately. We went back to Reno to stay at Harrah's, with completely updated, air conditioned,... more

My husband and I stayed at Granlibakken while attending a conference there. Our room was in the "Deerwander" building. It was a studio with fireplace, kitchenette, and pull-down bed. The bed was rather hard and the blankets thin and synthetic; not very cuddly. The room was nice though, with sliding doors onto a little porch, but no chairs to sit... more

I stayed with a group of 20+. We used the conference rooms for about two days and they worked great for our purposes. The access to the dining room from the conference hall was great. I do have to say that the rooms were not great. Myself and two coworkers shared a townhouse with three seperate rooms. It was very... more
