Best Western Plus Timber Cove Lodge

This place is CLOSED! Whatever you do do not call any of the numbers on their various websites. There are several. We called and they quoted us a rate. It felt scammy so we drove into town and confirmed the property is closed. This place should be listed as closed on all travel websites. Luckily, TripAdvisor does not offer rooms here. Thankful to them for that. We were recommended this place via Chat GPT so we let them know as well.

Planned a ski trip to Tahoe and didn’t really put much research into accommodations but I was blown away by the lake front beauty Beach Retreat offers. The room was cozy and clean and the main lobby had a locker to keep my skis and boots in, great value since a lot of resorts charge extra for that. Also can’t leave out how friendly and attentive the front desk team was! Definitely need to visit here again during the summer :)

I was trying so hard NOT to write this review bc I don't want to be bitter about my wedding in any way. BUT- I'm actually still pretty upset. I'm very specifically leaving a review for my wedding that was held at Beach Retreat in Aug 2025. First, the venue director/coordinator were not very personable or detail oriented, nor did they keep track of my requests. I had to ask multiple times for things to change. Communication would also take 1-2 weeks per email. The actual wedding had no rain contingency plan and it poured up until 40 mins before the wedding. Multiple people told me the food was cold from the caterer, people working the event didn't seem happy to be there. The bartender was great, but we only had 1 for open bar- open bar is a complete waste of money there's no way enough drinks were served to make that worth it. The venue gave my family heirlooms back to another bride that weekend and I still have yet to receive them back. I think this place could give a crap about me. Completely over priced for what you get. I had a good time at my wedding, but the people I had to deal with here left the most bitter taste in my mouth about weddings. I would say if you have any money to spend on your wedding, go elsewhere. I wouldn't recommend.
