Love it ❤️
I love staying at the tamarack lodge. It just feels like your own private piece of paradise on the east bay. Beautiful mission style architecture, private balcony, nicely appointed kitchen and super helpful staff. And warm cookies in the evening!

We loved our stay here. The room was huge. The view was amazing. Everything was clean. The hotel was quiet and the bed was comfortable. It was a bit chilly when we were there so we didn’t get to enjoy the outdoors too much but this hotel would be perfect for the summer. I look forward to coming here again.

Great place to stay when you just want more than a hotel. It makes you feel like you at your own apartment or condo.
