Border House at Crystal Bay

Crystal Bay, Lake Tahoe (Nevada), Nevada, United States

The Border House at Crystal Bay is a boutique 10-room hotel attached to a small casino. The rather plain exterior of the hotel gives way to spacious, somewhat luxurious rooms -- the decor features a mix of stylish modern furnishings and more ornate traditional elements, with stone-clad floor-to-ceiling fireplace hearths and ceilings painted the same color as the walls, giving rooms a romantic (if a bit cave-like) feel. The gas fireplaces are nice elements, especially during chilly winter months, as are the large flat-screen TVs and huge chromotherapy tubs. The restaurant and lounge are popular spots, as is the professional stage that hosts many well-known bands throughout the year.
