From the reviews
We enjoyed many aspects of Granlibakken—great location, fun snow conditions, a charming campy old-lodge vibe, and an excellent breakfast. The lodge suite was spacious and fit our needs well. Our room was older, but very clean. However, the mattresses were a major issue.
Granlibakken was our wedding venue this last July, and we truly appreciated their entire team. To start, their wedding coordinator Karina was an absolute pleasure to work with and helped us put together the wedding of our dreams, going above and beyond for the weekend.
We stayed at Granlibakken while on our honeymoon. Despite the snow outside we were very cozy in our suite, we could watch the snow and the fire while sitting in the living room, and stargaze from the patio at night. We had everything we needed at the resort and the staff were so helpful and nice.
Wonderful time in early August at this resort. Lukas at the cedar point lodge is an outstanding hard worker. Very personable and had some good recommendations for us. Him and the chef (sorry forgot his name) recommended a Mexican spot in Kings Beach and it was delicious!
Getting married at Granlibakken Tahoe
Granlibakken Tahoe comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
