Nakoma Resort Wigwam Room - PORTOLA

The building is stunning, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright! The service was exceptional, and the homemade bread with lemon herb butter was fantastic. The pumpkin gnocchi appetizer was delightful. I ordered the Caesar salad with added salmon; while the salad was good, the salmon was overcooked and came out dry. I should have requested it to be cooked medium rare, but the server didn’t ask. However, they kindly offered us complimentary dessert since we were celebrating our anniversary. I would definitely return.

The clubhouse also includes a bar, impeccably clean restrooms, and a gift shop. Outside, there are lovely terrace and gathering spaces accessible from every exit. We made a lunch reservation online and, using Waze, easily found our way from Truckee to Graeagle. Arriving early, we called to see if we could move our reservation up, and Kelly responded with a cheerful, "No problem!" When we arrived, Kelly welcomed us at the entrance. We took some time to explore the interior and, despite the tables near the large central fire pit, we chose a table by the window, ensuring we all had a lovely view of the mountains without any obstructions. We were the only diners at that time—was this a bad sign? Absolutely not! The service was attentive, and the food was exceptional, with generous portions. I ended up taking half of my turkey sandwich home, and we also enjoyed fantastic burgers, French onion soup, hearty game chili, and delicious fries. Kelly offered wonderful non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverage options tailored to our preferences, and her co-host was equally friendly and attentive. This gem of a restaurant provided a fantastic start to our adventure, with a total of four adults dining well and enough food to take home for just $101—a real bargain. After lunch, we snapped some pictures outside, and Kelly kindly stepped out to offer her assistance in capturing the moment. We then headed to Quincy, where we discovered an incredible toy shop and enjoyed some of the best ice cream we'd had in years. Just a note: the gift shop at the clubhouse was closed for the season, which was a disappointment as we were eager to do some Christmas shopping. Overall, this experience is WELL WORTH 1-2 HOURS OF YOUR LEISURE TIME!

The location is a bit elevated, but the views are lovely! The amenities include indoor basketball and rock climbing, a recreation room with pool, shuffleboard, and foosball, as well as a small movie theater. The pool is a good size, and the hot tub was nice. The bar inside offers additional seating, which is a nice touch. The building itself is beautiful, although it feels somewhat disconnected from the Inn. The main restaurant near the golf area offers stunning views and is quite nice. Dinner had a limited selection of options, but the food was good, albeit a bit slow. Breakfast was significantly better, with a variety of tasty choices! We came for a weekend getaway, but I believe it's also family-friendly. It's conveniently located near many trails and outdoor activities. Overall, we had a lovely stay, but since we only live an hour away, we might not return.

Great service, good food must try. I highly recommend the pumpkin gnocchi appetizer! Entrees, like the Elk, so delicious!!

How do I say that I had the most amazing sides I've ever had! The purple potatoes and succotash were delicious. I could have made my whole meal just from the sides. The chicken was so-so, a little bit dry as it was white meat. My dinner companion had the Bass which he said was decent. But the dessert was as good as the sides, peaches and berries cobbler ala mode! Yummy
