The lodge is located right by the lake, which is a huge plus for anyone looking to enjoy stunning views and easy access to water activities. The dining area offers a fantastic outdoor experience, though I found the room itself to be quite outdated and noisy. The service was generally friendly, but I encountered some issues that detracted from my stay. Overall, it's a great place to visit for a meal by the water, but staying overnight might not be worth the price.

Our room was clean, but quite dated with a noisy atmosphere due to being near the highway and a bustling kitchen below. It had a small balcony with decent lake views, but the room temperature was uncomfortable.

Sunnyside Lodge offers stunning lake views and a cozy, rustic charm, making it an attractive destination. However, while the outdoor dining and bar are highlights, the accommodations leave something to be desired, particularly with noise levels and room temperature control. The dining experience was enjoyable but could be improved with more variety. Considering the higher room rate, expectations were not fully met.

My recent visit to Sunnyside was a wonderful experience overall with stunning views of Lake Tahoe that truly enhance your dining experience. The restaurant serves delicious food, particularly their fish tacos and crab cakes, which were exceptional. While the dining atmosphere was relaxed and cozy, the pricing is on the higher side, reflecting the quality of the meals. The service was attentive without being intrusive, making the meal enjoyable. However, not getting to stay at the lodge this time was a bit disappointing, as it seems like a great place to enjoy time with family or friends.

Our stay at this lodge was thoroughly enjoyable, with stunning lake views and a cozy atmosphere that made it feel like a home away from home. The breakfast options were plentiful, although the dining experience could have been slightly better with more diverse choices. The service was exceptional, with the owner going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. However, there was a significant inconvenience with the noisy air conditioning that impacted our comfort during the night.
