I was the bride you didn't want showing up on the big day (and yes I mean a total disaster)! From start to finish this team worked with me, calmed me down and cheered me on. The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, the photographer produced life long memories for my family, Brent kept me updated and on track the entire time, and that wedding planner saved my life all day long! Without them, I would not have had such an amazing experience. Brent made it so easy with his all inclusive package that half the time, I forgot we were planning a wedding! It was all done for us! Not to mention the backdrop in Genoa is a hard place to beat! It is beautiful. Thank you to the Cottonwood staff for bringing our dreams to life!

Grab one of their signature cocktails to sip on, preferably the Blood Orange Lemonade to then sit out in the beautifully landscaped outdoor area to relax or challenge your friends and family to one of their backyard games like Cornhole or Bocce Ball to build up an appetite. On this particular day, our appetites were already pre-backyard game ready to dive into the menu and we realized that we would definitely be coming back to try other options that caught our eye. We ordered the T-O-TChos that are tater tots smothered with melted cheese then topped with house-made chili, green & red onion, and sour cream - TOO DIE FOR!! Then we went for the Tri-tip Swiss Sliders on Hawaiian sweet rolls and let's just put it out there I am not a big tri-tip person because the meat is a hit or miss for me. But folks the meat was cooked to PERFECTION, topped with sautéed mushrooms & onions plus a dollop of horseradish - yeppers folks OMTASTY!! Plus a side of coleslaw that let me say, it was EXCELLENT!! with just a hint of jalapeno - yummilicious!! Looking forward to making our way down the menu with our first stop at the Genoa Peak Nachos and Cottage Burgers - (insert my awkward giggle LOL) As we finished our relaxing day here, we found ourselves gazing out at the backdrop of the mountainous views, the pine trees, along with the beautiful flowers inside the gorgeous outdoor setting all around us. Feeling like we were at a backyard BBQ of a dear friend or family members enjoying the peacefulness of the day - ahhhmazing and serene. Added bonus of Cottonwood Cottage that made this day complete, the personal, friendly service from the hosts aka owners to pull everything all together with refreshing libations, tasty, yep satisfying food to the beauty of this venue. - yeppers PERFECT DAY! Thank you for our relaxing Sunday Funday! See you soon, Cottonwood Cottage, I'm thinking on the Bike's (MC) for Bocce Ball with Bloody Mary's and Cottage Burgers for my next visit - the BBBB day for short (slight giggle lol)

I recently attended my niece's wedding here. The venue itself is gorgeous! The area that was set up…read morefor the ceremony on the grass was very pretty and shaded from the heat. The barn where the reception was held is simply beautiful. The things I really did not like however, were the restroom situation and the ROCKS. The restrooms were in a trailer that is not handicap accessible whatsoever. There were several guests who were using walkers and I imagine they either had a difficult time accessing the restrooms or could not access them at all due to the stairs that needed to be climbed. I don't use a medical device to get around but my disability did make using the restrooms very inconvenient. I also wore very small heels (one inch pumps), and had a TERRIBLE time walking around through the rocky ground between the barn and the restrooms. The rocks are very sharp and tore up the heels of my shoes a little bit as well. I understand the rocks are likely there to cut down on the dust since this is a working farm, but I think switching out the current rocks to pea gravel or a crushed stone would make traversing the area easier for everyone. I'd also recommend clear signage from the parking area to the ceremony/reception areas. Like I mentioned, the venue is beautiful, just keep in mind that anyone with mobility issues or heels will have a difficult time moving around.

There was ample space so everyone had a bed and it was spread out enough so the guys could hang out down in the pool room while getting ready and the gals could get ready upstairs. The view at the home is absolutely breathtaking and the hot tub perfectly overlooks the lake and mountains. All of the stunning views and scenery gave for some pretty epic and gorgeous photos to capture our big day. Josh and Blue Sky Events worked together to make everything run seamlessly the day of our wedding; even when the heater broke on the tent during the rehearsal dinner and the caterer's generator died before our food could be made the day of the wedding. Josh was there doing everything in his power to make things work and make our day great. He was clear on what rules needed to be minded and checked in with us throughout the weekend to make sure we had what we needed. He was always making sure everyone was having a good time and was a great person to hang out with too. Most wedding venues in Lake Tahoe make you use their caterers, don't let you do unique things like bring a late night munchie food truck or anything outside of their own packages and for some people that's great but for us, we wanted flexibility and Fjeldheim allowed that for us so we could have a day that was perfectly us.

Wow, wow, WOW! Drop dead gorgeous! That is exactly how I would describe this lovely property…read more Known as one of the top 10 venues and event spaces in South Lake Tahoe, this place has EVERYTHING you could imagine. If you're looking to spend a lovely couple of days in Lake Tahoe and need a place to stay, this is the place for you! Talk about paradise; look no further. Tahoe Mountain Home is a 9,000 square foot private vacation home that can house 30+ people easily. Sitting high above the lake, this property offers awesome views overlooking the lake. I recently came over the weekend with a group of friends and was able to discover all that this property has to offer. The house offered over eight bedrooms and sleeping for the entire guest, all the rooms come with their own name; honestly, I felt like I was in a mansion! My mouth dropped as I drove up the one-way hill to get to the house, the place is HUGE! There were different access ways to the entrance, a fabulous hot tub in the back of the house that fits 4-5 people comfortably and a big parking lot that fits over 10 cars easily. This place is exceptional! The house is located 5-10 minutes from all of the fun entertainment including the casinos, restaurants, and bars and lounges. We took Uber every night and didn't have an issue at all. Now, on to the BEST part, it was SNOWING the WHOLE.WEEKEND. I have yet to experience snow before, so this was not only fun for me but exciting! Now, driving in the snow was not exciting at all, trust me, but playing in it was FUN. On the last night of our stay, we received emails and news reports that there was a blizzard coming and that we may be snowed in. Okay, I became scared once I received the news, but that quickly changed when we had the housing manager come over. Josh is the 'housing manager' and the night I became very anxious about the snowstorm, he came over with his lovely dog and informed our group that we were going to be Okay. He discussed the weather and even asked all of us for our car keys while he plowed the driveway so we can leave much easier to leave for the next-day departure. Can you believe that he moved all 10 cars and plowed the driveway all by himself? OMG, bless his heart! After Josh left, my group advised me that Josh is a wonderful guy that comes throughout our visit to check in with us. I was so touched by the personal touch. This property, as well as Josh, deserves MORE than 5 stars! Yelp, we really have to work on expanding the 5 stars (emoji: smiles). I definitely would recommend staying at this property. I look forward to my next stay. Thank you, Josh, for your amazing hospitality during our stay!

Genoa is a very charming and pretty town and very different than the nearby Carson City sprawl…read more Gayle has family here and I love coming up for a few days, especially in winter and during Candy Dance or the Genoa Cowboy Poetry and Music Festival. And from the Deck, the expansive view of the Carson Valley is stunning and soothing. Every time I come up, there's the latest talk about folks trying to make Genoa a "Destination". The area certainly seems to do nice Wedding business, and I particularly enjoy hanging out at the Genoa Bar. There are also a few nice places to eat such as La Ferme. Past that, it's my sense that this particular marketing plan isn't working as well as it should. David Walley's Resort recently went through a management change during an interesting "quiet" period and the relatively recent "Genoa Square" development is only left with the Dancing Deer and a reopened Genoa Country Inn. The Genoa Coffee & Candy Company was the latest closure, with the rumour that the landlord forced them out due to complaints of coffee odors (?) wafting through the hotel rooms. Oy. The Genoa Country Inn has 11 rooms and is a nice place with wi-fi and the usual other amenities (including view). It's an easy walk to anywhere within the Genoa Town Site, and if you just want peace and quiet, this place may be a good choice for you. However, if you want a little "excitement", South Lake Tahoe is a winding drive over the Kingsbury Grade, and greater Carson City or the "Twin Cities" of Minden and Gardnerville are all easy rides. Just watch the occasional speed trap on Jacks Valley Road.

It was late at night and after regular check-in hours by the time we arrived on Friday evening, but…read moreour room key was safely tucked away in a box and ready for us, and our room was easy to find. My husband and I were surprised at the size of the room when we walked in; it was huge! There's a large bathroom area, and tons of room around the bed and by the mini fridge and coffee station. There's also a nice table and chairs, a modest TV, and a terrific balcony with an outstanding view. Our bathroom, as well as the bedroom (and everything else), was very clean. Everything works great in the room also, and we had no complaints, except maybe that the bed was a little uncomfortable. My husband had trouble sleeping but I can sleep on pretty much anything pretty happily. I'll be sad when 11 o'clock rolls around and we check out. This Inn is conveniently located in the center of a town and area that I would like to spend a little more time day-exploring. Looks like an excellent reason to come back!
