Capturing Tahoe Charm
RELEASED FEBRUARY 2024
Our first assignment of 2024 took us to Tahoe City, CA, where we produced 19 Matterport® virtual tours and grounds photos of a charming campus of antique vacation cottages at The Cottage Inn, located on the west shore of Lake Tahoe.
Owner Kelly Lutrell and her staff took good care of us during our stay between snow storms - as they all do for all of their guests. Lutrell operates as a true inn-keeper, with great attention to detail, evident not only in the inn’s service but also the decor and condition of the cottages.
The project is a good example of how hospitality businesses can add value and differentiation to their online presence, giving prospective guests a better feeling of available rooms, a complete sense of the grounds, and increase their engagement on the web site before they click to reserve.
It also demonstrates how the tour can product short video reels and walk-throughs (at right).
Check out the tour of the “Bavaria Cottage” and below photos from Bavaria and other cottages.
This is not a travel site, but if you’re ever traveling to Lake Tahoe and you want to feel the redwoods around you and still be a short walk to the beach, I highly recommend The Cottage Inn.
