The Moose and Maple Lodge

Acquired June 2021

947 Park Ave. South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150

Room Count: 14 Units

Annual Revenue: $1.01M (2022)

Preferred Return: 10%

Projected IRR: 19.05%

Entering a market as competitive and cutthroat as South Lake Tahoe is no small feat, especially as a non-local, non-flagged hospitality endeavor. It was especially audacious as it was the flagship endeavor of Adventure Stays. That said, we trusted the data and saw the opportunity to enter - it was a "now or never" type moment, and we chose to pull the trigger. There were some hiccups along the way that have tested our operational capabilities - from the Caldor Fires to the freak Blizzard/power outages on Dec 21 - but the Moose and Maple Lodge has since stabilized and currently serves as a powerhouse of the Adventure Stays portfolio.


Adventure Lodge

Acquired March 2022

3918 Pioneer Trl. South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150

Room Count: 21 Units

Annual Revenue: $973K (2022)

Preferred Return: 10%

Projected IRR: 18.5%

Distributions to Date: 


Our second property, the Adventure Lodge, entered the Adventure Stays story through a combination of luck and timing. We were alerted to a property just around the corner from the Moose and Maple Lodge that might have some potential. It had received over $1M in renovations (including a new roof, siding, paint, interiors, appliances, and more), but the owners were becoming uneasy in their confidence to manage the property upon project completion. After a brief period of negotiations, they agreed to sell at a fantastic price point (given the extremely low inventory in South Lake Tahoe at the time) and we closed in under 30 days.


Blue Jay Lodge

Acquired June 2023

4133 Cedar Ave. South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150

Room Count: 41 Units

Annual Revenue: $1.4M (Pro Forma)

Preferred Return: 7%

Projected IRR: 21.05%

Distributions to Date: $0.00


The Blue Jay Lodge was our biggest and most challenging project to date. After 8 months of stepping up to (and subsequently away from) the negotiating table, we successfully acquired in the Summer of 2023. After a brief remodeling (cosmetic, mostly), we opened our doors for guests, just in time for the summer high-season to arrive. This property marked a significant inflection point in our South Lake Tahoe story, as it enabled on-site laundry/snow-removal (between all three properties) and has enabled significant economies of scale in our labor costs across the portfolio. We are excited to see what else the Blue Jay lodge brings to the table as it stabilizes in the coming months!
