Retreat at King's Beach

Our very quaint little one bedroom cabin that sleeps 4 was fully equipped with linens, towels, and basic toiletries. The kitchenette was well equipped with coffee pot and supplies, toaster, microwave, dishwasher, and stove. Dining table for 4. Beach towels were available too. Our cabin was among the big trees and across the street from their private beach with lounge chairs and dock. Heated pool was a "refreshing" temperature and needed some skimming. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Private beach was equipped with lounge chairs.It felt very homey. I would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful property. Peaceful stay. Read the fine print though and make sure if you book it expecting beach front that you be careful to select it…we almost didn’t get a beach front we were expecting because of expedias description but staff was awesome and worked with us. Beautiful comfy cozy place to stay

Right near the lake and with private little cabins this place is a dream. The staff is so kind and helpful. My partner is Betty allergic to animals so it being a pet free accommodation was actually an amazing find! It’s my go to stay in Tahoe now.

We came up for a Girls Trip and We loved our little one bedroom apartment, it didn't feel like a hotel room at all! The lake being right there is a huge bonus, The pool was closed but didn't matter to me cuz the Lake is so refreshing. I definitely recommend this Place to stay. I will be coming back soon.
