16 reviews for The Cedar House Sport Hotel
I just came back after staying at The Cedar House. We brought our dog, Nigel, and he was very grateful to them for allowing him. Being 7 months pregnant, I couldn't accompany my husband on the slopes, so I was at the hotel all day with no car. At first, I was disappointed to see that they didn't really serve lunch from their restaurant BUT, they were so awesome, they brought over a beautiful plate of food over to my room. Whatever your needs, just ask and they will help because the staff is uber friendly and helpful!
Oh, and the style of the hotel and rooms: Modern, hip, European, and not annoying at all. As I relaxed on our comfy king bed, I looked around and pleasantly found NO artwork on the walls. I looooove this. I hate going to hotel rooms and looking at cheesy-ass artwork. You will find none of this here. Also, Nigel kept finding spots around the floor in the room and in the tiled bathroom to sleep on because the floors are heated. How freakin' cool is that? Being 7 months preg-o, I have to use the bathroom 15 times a day, and walking into one without having to put on my socks from the cold tiles was niiiiiiiice.

I booked a room here, was meeting my parents there for my Moms bday. I called and switched nights with a short notice, there was nooo problem, very nice about it. Then got there, checked it, and was AMAZED that it was VERY upscale (uh, come on..its TRUCKEE, I lived there before!) 5 star everything - linens, ammenties in the room, just beautiful.
I ended up not only leaving my room after I had been in it for an hour, at no charge (was going to give it to my Dad, he had snored all night before and kept MA UP), but then they offered a room to them next to each other. And didnt blink an eye. We were honestly the customers from HELL, and they were beyond nice about it. I will go back, and tell everyone I know about this place. Oh, and killer location too. VERY IMPRESSED!!
My wedding party and friends stayed at The Cedar House Sports Hotel on 10/10/09 and we are so pleased with the entire experience!!! Patty and Jeff Baird as well as Stephanie and all the staff were absolutely wonderful. Patty helped me organize my event and was so helpful.
EVERYONE loved the rooms and the food. The rooms are modern European and very stylish. The architecture and design is very cool and mostly made of recycled materials. All very green and sustainably built. One couple in our group chose a downtown Truckee mainstay and they were terribly disappointed that they missed our accommodation recommendation!!
While some reviewers seem to think it is on the pricey side, I would emphatically disagree. While we paid off-season rates, I think it was very fairly priced for what I would consider top accommodation. The Cedar House is the best place to stay in Truckee and the entire area, no question!
The Cedar House is a fantastic place. Why? The staff here is wonderful! Dillon (working the front desk) was fantastic. He called and made a reservation for us at Pianeta. He called a cab company to schedule our ride to the restaurant. When he noticed that I had hurt my wrist out snowboarding - he immediately found a cold wrap for me. Later when we were waiting for a cab in the lobby - he offered to get us coffee from next door. Hell, all I expect from hotel staff is that they are polite - Dillon really far exceeded that expectation.
The rooms are stylish, cute and comfortable. The breakfast, although the options are somewhat limited, is quite tasty. You have a menu with 4-5 options: Egg and Mushroom Frittata, Oatmeal with fresh fruit, Bagel with Lox, etc.
A wonderful place.

This is one of the local great finds in my book. Of course if you live in Reno you might not be staying overnight here, but from the reviews that's a great option. This place seems to cater to the outdoor loving people with lots of money. Me...I'm working on the money part. But anyhow we came for the wine pairing and cooking demo dinner. The cost was reasonable $65 or $70...per person. I forgot exactly how much, I wasn't the one paying. But....the whole dinner demo was excellent and I highly reccomend doing it when they offer. Check the website for times. The dinner is limited to like 20 or so diners. If you do the dinner they offer discouinted room rates. Great romantic weekend get away...hint hint...

We stayed there this last weekend, and were tremendously impressed. The architectural and landscape design of the hotel is interesting, aesthetically pleasing and apparently very "green." The owners are charming and perfect hosts. The place is dog-friendly, but it strikes a nice balance in this regard as it is very well maintained. Well located, so that it serves as a setting-out point for Tahoe, Sierra Buttes, and other points of interest. I'd give it six stars if I could.
AWESOME. Everyone here makes you feel welcome and the accomodations are wonderful. European sytling and Trukee hospitality make this hotel a great choice for your stay. Evening appetizers and cookies, morning breakfast spreads, and lattes were all delciosu and served with a nice gourmet touch. They don't skimp on the options! Smoked salmon, oatmeal, pastries, sliced fruit, yogurt, and my favorite...heirloom tomatoes for their superb breakfast is a really good reason to get up and wander to the lobby.
The rooms are comfy and extremly clean, so all in all a winner! It doesn't hurt that they are green too! Recycle bins are in every room, they use corn based cups, and the whole hotel is built to maximize the runoff from rainwater to water the plants! Loves it!

I recently went on a snowboarding trip with a big group of my family and we stayed at the Cedar House Sport Hotel. The hotel is a little outside of old town Truckee on the road to Tahoe. As its Web site says, it "fuses innovative architecture with the best of contemporary design ... in a hip European style." Some of the innovations worked better for me than others, and what I liked best is that it does the old-fashioned stuff quite well. One European touch I didn't like: The bed had only a bottom sheet and duvet. In winter it was fine, but in summer you might have a hard time regulating your warmth. My room had a wall-mounted 32-inch-wide-screen LCD TV, with a ton of channels. There's free Wi-Fi and also a high-speed Internet connection. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The morning breakfast (included) was truly outstanding and not be missed. You're less than 20 minutes from Northstar, and just a little farther from Alpine Meadows. Free shuttle buses to these resorts stop at the hotel. We rode the free shuttle to Northstar one day and drove the other, and the shuttle was a couple of minutes faster. When I plan my next trip to N. Tahoe, I'm staying at the Cedar House, and I won't go anywhere else.
I recommend this hotel for young singles, a romantic getaway, families with young children and pets.
Pros: An environmentally friendly facility that's also comfortable and hip. Pet friendly too!
Cons: Some bathrooms are on the small side.

I coordinated a women's hiking trip for 12 women in Tahoe. It's central location and green design were the initial considerations. The extras we received were extraordinary. Stefanie, the General Manager met with me to plan the 6 day itinerary which included hikes, kayaking, bike rides and restaurants. The staff made all the reservations and were gracious about last minute changes. We started our day with a delicious full breakfast and came back to afternoon hors d'oeuvres, and a robe to enjoy the hot tub. We were given storage space for our bikes and a conference room for our yoga practice. As coordinator for this group of travel savvy women, Stephanie made my job so much easier. I recommend the Cedar House for a pampered getaway.
Just stayed here this past weekend. Good price for such a stylish and cozy place. Priced better than many other places and it was a lot nicer than some that were only a little cheaper. Plus, it includes a nice continental breakfast with lots of protein options and not just sugary carbs--lox, cheese, hardboiled eggs, pastries, cereal, etc. Also included are espresso drinks!
Room was cozy with fluffy pillows and blankets. They use a "German" bedding style so there is no top sheet and the queen bed had a separate twin-sized blanket for each person which took a little getting used to. They do say you can request a top sheet and I might do that the next time so my feet don't keep sticking out. One odd thing is that there is no mirror in the actual room, only in the bathroom and that one is not that big. Makes it tricky to get ready when you're sharing with another couple.
The lobby here is super cozy too with a gas fireplace that gives off lots of heat and a nice bar. After a trip to the hot tub, the four of us hung out in the lobby in the terry bathrobes they provide and had some drinks. Bartender was very friendly and no one minded that we were in bathrobes. It was nice to stay in a place that felt homey enough to do that.
I will definitely be staying here again!
OooooOooooOOOOoooo!!! That is my ridiculous moaning sound!
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!
I'm getting excited even as I type about it!
The customer service was awesome! They're even patient with certain last second individuals who don't plan ahead *cough*. Ready for it? It's story time...
My man and I rushed out the door one sunny weekend in July and decided to take a SPUR of the moment trip to Tahoe. WELLLLLLLLLL.. Spur of the moment, took on a whole new meaning! We drove around for HOURS looking for a place to stay. And when I say hours, I mean HOURS! We actually got to Tahoe in the daylight hours, yet didn't manage to find anything even into the late hours of the night. Luckily, I had resources. I called the most trust worthy source I knew, which was... my mom. She called around and BAM found a location in Truckee.
Great, how great. My mom found us a place, but it's probably some dump in the boondocks. It'll probably be one of those serial killer dives that are waiting to be discovered by Steven King. Not to mention, we were in South Lake Tahoe, that meant we had an hour trek ahead of us. Lovely, but we were desperate! We felt like Mary and Joseph trying to find a place to stay in 110 degree heat and no food. So, our drive began. Of course we got lost for a while and we took a few wrong turns and needed to get gas.. in the dark.. in the mountains.. but we made it!
When we finally did, it was a gasp of "Awwwwwh, this is nice!"
It was one "Awwww" after the other.
The lobby = gorgeous
The service = perfect
The bed = perfect, comfy, cushy!
The bathroom = outstanding!
The shower = so cool & functional!
The TV = flat panel!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously though, who puts a flat panel in a hotel room.. THEY DO!!! And it has major cable!
The cost = very worth it!
The comfort level = 100%
The gadgets = seriously, just go for the gadgets. They rock!
Overall = Do I even need to say it?? 10 STARS!!! Yea, I said it. 10!!! I want to go back. Right now!
I even took a picture of the "restroom" in our room. It was that good!

We were here for 5 nights and it was really nice. The boy and I had a "king suite" and it was really nice...good large king bed and the bathroom was spacious. Unfortunately, we had no idea that there wasn't an AC in any of the rooms! We, of course, thought that every hotel now had AC in their rooms but not this one.
Other than the AC factor, everything else was good. They serve good continental breakfast and the boy and I loved their chocolate croissants. Definitely saved us some dinero to enjoy other activities and explore the area and allowed us to splurge on food!
Although, the boy and I are still trying to grasp the idea of them being a "sport" hotel, without having their own gym and perhaps swimming pool. They did have a jacuzzi...other than that, there was no point in having "SPORT" in their name.
Will try to go here again, perhaps, in the winter time, when we could use the "HEATER" only in the room.

I spent two amazing nights at this hotel. Beautiful modern design timber/concrete, spacious and comfortable rooms.
From the time we arrived, we were made to feel extremely comfortable and welcomed, the lobby is awesome, a nice little bar out the back and a great outdoor dining area.
If you want a totally unpretentious getaway/hideout, this is the place for you!
This is my new favorite hotel! If you enjoy modern European design and comfort, then you will love staying here. Nothing is cheap or poorly designed. Everything feels just top notch!
The evening appetizers were delicious, and the morning breakfast was even better. Nothing felt like it was canned or purchased in bulk, but had the home-made feel. For not having a restaurant, this was impressive.
A beacon of comfort and good taste in what is arguably the ugliest town in the Sierra. Cedar House is modern, clean, stylish, and not too extravagantly priced. Rooms are quite comfortable and the staff is warm and welcoming. Also included in the price is a nice breakfast buffet reminiscent of European hotels. If you absolutely have to stay in Truckee, Cedar House Sport Hotel would be a good choice.
wow ... just stayed at the cedar house sport hotel this last weekend.
loved everything about this hotel:
* modern / euro design
* the owners and the staff were super friendly and helpful
* the heated floor tiles and walk-in shower in the bathrooms
* one the most comfortable hotel beds i've ever slept in
* the continental breakfast went way beyond pastries and coffee
* the 32" wall mounted wide screen tv
* the location (two minutes to downtown truckee, 15 minutes to northstar, 30 minutes to squaw)
