We stayed here over Christmas, looking for a White Christmas experience. Unfortunately the weather let us down as there was only minimal snow around but enough man made snow for the kids to taboggan down the hill. The resort staff were extremely helpful - allowing us to change our booking at the last minute and swap rooms to a larger... More

Have only been to Granlibakken four times in either the fall or winter: '95, '99, '02, and '12. Rooms: comfortable; grounds and views: nice; food: outstanding; staff: outstanding. All visits were for conferences. More

We are on our final day of a four day stay at Granlibakken. We booked this for our family Christmas. The fact that there is no snow this year is not the fault of the resort; but their 30 day cancellation policy made it impossible for us to change our plans when it was evident there would be no snow....

As others have mentioned, this place has the original hard-used fixtures in their rooms, but the rooms are clean. It is also seriously plumming challenged, and the bathroom counter was ridiculously low (I'm short, and it hit between my knee and crotch). But, how much time do you plan on spending in the room? This is an area that begs... More

I was there for a conference in late September and it was perfect for the needs of the group. The rooms were nice although somewhat small (certainly not luxurious) and the beds were very comfortable. I stayed in a town home and it was nice to have a little extra common space. The food for the conference was the best... More

I love this place! The free breakfast is a massive feast and the best I had seen in 40 years of traveling. The staff will bend over backwards to satisfy your every need. We had a modern room (101G) located near the woods with a flat screen TV, beautiful bathroom, comfortable beds, refrigerator and all the comforts of home. We... More

We had 80 cousins, aunts and uncles converge on Granlibakken this past July. We were scattered all over the place with my small family holed up in a townhouse. The rest stayed in a variety of lodges and dorms and from what I could tell, no one was unhappy. In fact, it was almost unanimous to return there in another... More

We go to Tahoe every winter, usually over New Year's Eve. After trying a few other private cabins and large resorts, we've returned to Granlibakken the past three years. It's primarily a woodsy off-season conference center where I've attended (and enjoyed) a few conferences. For a family snow vacation it's a great choice. My family of children, parents and grandparents... More

Online, Granlibakken looked nice. However, our stay was one of the worst ever in Tahoe! We got a townhouse which was completely rundown and outdated! The room was pretty dirty and all of the furniture was really old! We didn't want to be there, to stay there, or to cook there! There was hair in the shower when we arrived,... More

Although the altitude took a little getting used to, the Granlibakken Resort was a wonderful place to stay! The rooms were clean, the grounds well maintained, the pool area and tennis courts were great! I would reccommend to everyone! More
