Thanks to everyone at The Lighthouse (restaurant) for 3 of our meals; finally Wolfdales in Lake Tahoe have met their match. Sad to leave but it gives us a reason to return."

• "Once again our time to leave has come too fast. Thanks for all the fun. Every year is always a new experience. The inn offers new friendships & lots of fun. We will start counting our days for next year's return. There is no better place in the world than the beachfront pool. You are wonderful hosts. Hope they let you return to the Gateway of India (restaurant), but it was a good time. Maybe next time we can do the 'night tour of the cemetary'.
