South Lake Tahoe - Hotels, Lodging, Cabins

Secret's Inn

South Lake Tahoe offers many choices for lodging from first class hotels and casinos to low budget motels off the main strip. Rent a furnished vacation cabin from 50Cabins, stay in a luxurious Suite at Harrah's or bring your RV and park it in one of the many campgrounds!

If gambling and nightlife is a high priority, consider one of the four major hotel casinos located in Stateline, Nevada. Of all the hotel casinos, I am partial to Harrah's Hotel and Casino because of the rustic rooms, great selection of restaurants and  the overall consistency of the service. In addition, Harrah's always does a first class job when hosting special events for guests including golf events at the Edgewood Golf Resort. Other hotel casinos worth considering are the Mont Bleu Resort Casino (which has a special floor for pets), Harvey's and the Horizon Casino Resort. If on a budget, request a lake view room at the Horizon and walk right across the street to all the action at the higher end hotels, Heavenly Village and the Gondola.  Harveys Lake Tahoe is also a nice hotel and people come from all over to attend the outdoor arena and summer concerts and the famous Lake Tahoe restaurant, The Sage Room.

Families might want to stay at the Marriott Timberlodge or the Embassy Suites. Both are luxury resorts offering spacious villas and suites and within walking distance of the Casinos, Heavenly Gondola and the  Heavenly Village Shops. Further up the mountain on the Nevada side is The Ridge Tahoe, another good choice for families and skiiers.

There are dozens of less expensive lodging alternatives around town but, I would be a bit cautious since South Lake Tahoe motels come in all flavors. A good choice for lodging near the casinos is the Forest Suites Resort. There is also Lakeland Village, Inn by the Lake, Timbercove Lodge (Lake Front with the hip Blue Bistro Grill), the Secrets Inn (pet friendly), 3 Peaks Resort & Beach Club (pet friendly). local favorite Fireside Lodge, or the Royal Valhalla.  For lovers, there is always the renowned  Fantasy Inn with on site wedding chapel.

Summer visitors might want to consider the historic cabins a the Zephyr Cove Resort, or the campgrounds at Camp Richardson. Both choices are lakefront and offer boating, biking, fishing, hiking and a great selection of restaurants nearby. Campers might also consider Fallen Leaf Campground or Nevada Beach Campground.

These are some of My picks for lodging in South Lake Tahoe. If you would like to submit a Review, please go to Lake Tahoe's Alive.  Please check back as this article will be updated. Have a Great Day!
