    I am the wife of John that is no longer around since 2000. Those pictures are awesome and just how I remember the lodge. I drove that Jeep many times helping John on the property. Spoke with Dorothy today April 2014 as she has another birthday coming up next month.
    TCL was a peaceful & lovely place to be on the Lake Tahoe. My memories are all good and were too short (12 years). I remember Dorothy’s & John’s mother Mrs. Smith calling out to me, Mrs. Smith don’t walk on the lawn, take the path.

    Beautiful setting in it’s day.

    Nancy – thanks for stopping by. So many good memories at TC for so many people. My mom still talks to and visits with Dorothy on a regular basis. I will have to go with her next time. Here is our TC updates page in case you haven’t seen it:

    My family has been going to Tahoe Cedars since 1958. My father worked for a company that closed the doors for 2 weeks during the summer, always the Friday before the 4th, for it’s employees to have a vacation with their families. Being a reasonable place to stay and a safe environment for kids, our summers were always at Tahoe Cedars. Growing up we loved being there but had always wished to see other parts of the world – but now as adults we are so thankful for the memories that Mrs. Smith and Dorothy Rayner created for us.

    Part of my family just went to visit Dorothy today to have a belated lunch celebration with her. She just had her 92nd birthday. That woman has not aged one single bit. She still looks the same as we remember as kids and her mind is as sharp as ever.

    I’d love to post a photo so you all can see how great Dorothy looks. Let me know how. We all love her so much.

    Spent our honeymoon here in July 1972, will be vacationing in May, we are going to stop by this site for old memories and for old time sake. I believe the lodge no longer exists, but will stop by anyway and take a few pictures.

    Hello Dave, Lovely site and thank you for making this accessible for other to visit. I am one of the proud owners of Cedar Lodge and would love to give some tribute to this amazing place by creating a plaque for the fireplace that is still on this property. We are going to try and repair as much as possible to the original state and would love to let others know if this amazing place.

    My house is directly above the fireplace next to the fence line of the neighbors. Not sure if you have any pictures of the cabin that use to be here but would love to try and reproduce something so that this is not forgotten.
