Need more space? Book the adjacent unit to create a suite. This works much the same as two hotel rooms with separate entrances but joined as a suite when desired. Send an inquiry via the messaging app to request more information.
Guest Access
All condominium units in this entire resort-style complex are individually and privately owned. The site was designed to function as private vacation homes and rentals.
All onsite amenities, such as the pool, hot tub, sauna, basketball, and tennis courts are for the free use of the individual homeowners and guests, such as yourself. Several businesses also operate onsite offering fun pay-for use activities. Owners and guests enjoy discounts for the zip-line course, day spa and massage, sledding, ski hill and rentals, restaurant and bar. Prices and discounts do change, so inquire about that when contacting the proprietor.
A keycard is utilized to enter the building when locked (after 11 PM). A half flight of stairs access an interior hallway leading to all units on that floor. This particular condo also has a private deck and patio sliding door at ground level that can be used to enter and exit the unit once inside. Keys are not issued for the patio slider for security purposes.
**Please note that although there is a patio entrance, it is not recommended by the hosts to utilize this as a main means of entrance and egress during significant snow events. This is not a designated path, but a natural dirt area and is not plowed by the HOA. Guests should not expect to use this as a means of entry and exit when there is snow. Please use the main entrance through the building and hallway.
Interaction with Guests
We utilize a self check in and check out system. Please reach out to me via the messaging app during your stay for questions related to your stay. Kim, Jason, and our assistant take turns responding to messages so the messaging app is the best way to reach the person on duty. The phone would only reach one of us--who might be taking a break by raising our two young children. Use the listed phone number only for absolute emergencies in the night between 9PM and 9AM. In such a case, call twice to move past the "do not disturb settings" nighttime setting on the phone.
DO NOT GO TO THE “FRONT DESK”
Do not go to the "Front Desk" with questions regarding your stay. Sometimes guests notice signs for “reception”, “guest check-in”, or a “front desk” and think this is a hotel. This desk and office area is a private management company that manages vacation rentals for about 30 of the 140 Granlibakken homeowners as well as a conference center and restaurant/bar. Like the majority of owners, we do not utilize their services.
The front desk can only assist you with questions about various third-party onsite amenities such as skiing, sledding, and the restaurant. They also open, close, and maintain the recreation facility for the home owners association.
Other Details to Note
A quick note about “housekeeping” and what distinguishes this private condo from a hotel.
As private condo owners, and not a hotel, we do not have housekeeping. We utilize a third-party cleaner to prepare the condo for your arrival, but not during your stay, the same as a typical Airbnb listing. We provide typical vacation rental sundries, linens, and supplies as a starter-kit adequate for typical use for your party. However, guests using more than typical amounts will need to procure more on their own. Contact us if you would like our cleaner to procure more for you, and they may be willing to do so for a service fee for their time and cost. Any cleaners you may see on property may either be the onsite vacation management company (that we do not utilize) or the cleaners hired by the numerous condo owners for their own vacation rentals.
Neighborhood Description
The sun streams in in the mornings, you ride up to Page Meadows, relax at the yearound pool/spa, you savor. Enjoy the soft mountain breezes from the rustling the pines surrounded by natural light of the evening sun. The tennis courts of Granlibakken are a delight. It feels secluded yet is near Tahoe City set back from the Truckee River. In winter, saunter over to the base of the ski & sledding hill by the log cabin warming hut. In summer, stroll down the path to the Truckee River with your SUP in hand, bike to the lake, or ride/hike the Tahoe Rim Trail and Pacific Crest Trail--all accessed from the property. You reside in the heart of Tahoe.
