It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and each holiday season Tenaya Lodge gathers its guests into the warm embrace of its heartfelt hospitality. From the Grand Lobby, with its two-story fireplace and 30-foot holiday tree to the contests, crafts sessions, sledding, skating and visits from Santa Claus, Tenaya Lodge is the perfect place to build holiday memories with your family. The ice rink open on 21st November 2007 and, as in seasons past, Santa continues to take a liking to Tenaya. He’ll be making his rounds in the hotel lobby and restaurants, looking for good little boys and girls to receive a candy cane or two. And every day from 15th December 2007 through New Year’s Day (excluding Christmas day), a horse-drawn sleigh will depart at least four times a day for rides through the surrounding Sierra National Forest.
