Our Story

A home for the heritage of Asia, on the shores of the American West

Magnolia sits on 18 acres of wilderness near Fallen Leaf Lake, just outside South Lake Tahoe. We built this resort for the Asian American community and for anyone who loves Asia but doesn't have the time — or the miles — to cross an ocean to feel it.

Four zones, each drawn from a different corner of Asia, surround a shared heart: gardens, water, mountain air, and the quiet architecture of belonging.

The Four Directions

Four Zones, Four Regions of Asia

The Grounds

A Garden at the Heart of It All

Our four wings curve around a central flower atrium — the quiet center that every path on the property leads back to.

Committed to the Land

A Lighter Footprint

More green space than building footprint was the starting point — sustainability runs through how Magnolia is built and run, not just how it looks.

Celebrate With Us

Weddings & Private Events

The garden atrium was built to hold a crowd, not just a courtyard — the quiet center of Magnolia becomes the heart of your celebration.

Say your vows under the open sky, then move the celebration into any of our four wings for a reception that carries the mood of South, East, North, or West Asia through to the last dance.

Stay

Rooms & Residences

Every zone offers the same four tiers of comfort — the difference is which region of Asia welcomes you home.

Each of our four zones — South, East, North & West — prices its rooms individually, so you can choose your region first and your room tier second. Rates vary by wing and season — contact us for exact pricing.
