We (my Girlfriend and I, and our son) have stayed there twice now and it is the perfect place to stay in Tahoe. We even brought our mutt the second time as they are very pet friendly. I met the hotel manager on our first stay and he was patrolling the grounds with his side kick, which made it seem even more welcoming, so we brought our terrible terrier for the second trip.
The location and views of the lake alone are worth the stay but the staff and accommodations are what really stand out. The manager was very friendly. He was in the lobby and greeted us on our first stay and remembered us when we came back. He and his staff really made us feel welcome. You can even start relaxing right at check in with a glass of champagne.
Like I said the location is perfect. They are right on the state line in south shore literally RIGHT ON THE LAKE SHORE. Just walk across the street to a really nice beach.
The rooms are beautifully appointed with a cozy fire place and sitting area along with a furnished balcony overlooking the lake. we had a refrigerator and brand new (labels still on) Lavazza expresso maker in the room that made a delicious cup of expresso with the complementary expresso cups they provided. The bathrooms have heated floors, a jacuzzi style tub and a large rain shower. The bathrooms are very nice and looked as if they were recently updated. They have louvered shutters that open up the bathroom to the rest of the room for the fireplace and natural light. My only suggestion would be to add a latch to the shutters though. I can see how it would be really nice to have them open up to the room for the fireplace during a romantic get away, not so much on a family getaway with a son who's practicing to be a peeping tom. They even provide really nice robes and slippers to relax in after a good soak.
Their on site restaurant Jimmy's, is just delicious with excellent food and craft cocktails along with live music in the evening. Their rib eye steak is one of the best I've ever had and my girlfriend really liked the three hoof bolognese. The best part was our first stay was during the middle of Covid so we had room service deliver and we enjoyed eating on our balcony. It was way more relaxing than having to go out to eat. We stayed again last week and the restaurant was open with indoor and outdoor dinning. I highly recommend the outdoor dinning as they have several fire pits on the patio and the with sunset on the lake is the perfect backdrop for dinner. I the restaurant alone is worth a look even if you aren't staying in the hotel. The food and service are better than the fine steak houses at the major resorts (Friday's Station at Harrah's used to be my favorite) and it is a much better setting especially now, as you do not have to trek through a casino to get to the restaurant.
They also have a second floor terrace over the restaurant that had just been refinished since out last stay. They installed a new floor which looks very nice and there is a fireplace to relax by. I understand they use it as a wedding and event space (it would be an excellent place to have a wedding with the lake as the back drop) but nothing was planned while we were there so it was open to the guests. If you stay on the second floor it is right outside your door so we let our son and the dog watch TV while we took one of the bottles of wine from the room out to the terrace. We found it to be the perfect place to relax and watch the sun set. It was quiet and had a beautiful view of the lake.
I live in the Bay Area so Tahoe is a place I like to get away to when I can. I have been going there for years but unfortunately it took me this long to find The Landing. I'm so glad we did though, between the friendly staff, the rooms, the excellent restaurant, not to mention the location with its proximity to the water and convenience, I find that I don't really want to leave the resort. I can't imagine a reason to stay anywhere else when I'm in Tahoe. Next time though, I think Mom and I might sneak up there by ourselves, because as pet and family friendly as they are, It is also the perfect place for a romantic getaway that we are long overdue for.
