A little back story is always fun about a place and the origin. Granlibakken is a Norwegian name and it means “hill sheltered by trees”. It’s the perfect name for this getaway spot. The Granlibakken Resort is family-owned and is on 74 wooded acres in a mountain valley. Lake Tahoe is just a few minutes away and the elevation is at a breathtaking 6,350 feet. If you’re lucky, you can even spot some wildlife saying hello during your stay.
