The Harley Bay™

Fits 6 bikes. Comes with one (1) ceremonial leather vest you must wear at check-in.

Welcome to the Applebee's Lodge of Lake Tahoe — a 6,400 sq ft monument to riblets, freedom, and the unshakable belief that a Bahama Mama is, in fact, a personality.

This isn't just a lake house. This is where legends are made, group chats are formed, and at least one person each weekend says "we should do this every year" while half-crying on the dock.

The 2025 Fourth of July weekend — the one where Grace Bonafede was wearing the Veuve Clicquot hat and delivered The Quote — became the stuff of group-chat legend, and we've designed the entire 2026 experience around recreating that exact night, except this time everyone gets along about dinner plans.

Whatever, go to Applebee's, I don't even care.
— Grace Bonafede, Tahoe, July 4th, 2025 (the moment that started a movement)

Yes — we DO have a shrine. Yes — there IS a plaque. Yes — every meal here begins with a toast to that exact sentence, and every Uber ride to a chain restaurant ends with it.

Sleeps 14. Sleeps 14 well. Sleeps 14 like they earned it.

★ The Legend of Glen Cove ★ July 4th, 2025 ★ South Lake → Millionaire's Cove ★

We Took a Yacht to a Millionaire's Mansion.
Then It Hailed. We Stayed Outside.

★ CHRISTIAN — DON'T GET CAUGHT PISSING OFF THE YACHT

The 2025 Yacht Run: We departed South Lake Tahoe on the water, pointed the bow toward Glen Cove, and docked at a lakefront estate that makes the Applebee's Lodge look like a Motel 6. Body paint was applied. Flags were raised. Cold ones were cracked. Someone pointed at a mountain and said "freedom." Nobody disagreed.

Mid-afternoon, the sky turned green. A hailstorm of near-biblical proportion opened up over the lawn. Every rational person ran for cover. Every person at this party did not. Patriots don't.

Boat route: South Lake Tahoe Marina → Glen Cove → millionaire's private dock → history.

"Whatever. Go to Applebee's. I don't even care. (4 stars because the riblet shrine is a bit much, but fine, it's fine, you guys are fine.)"
