Amazing, hands-on service. Happy hour by the fireplace. One game room for old-school board games, another game room for old-school video games. Comfortable beds. Also, you know how some hotels overload the bed with pillows, none of which are comfortable? Fireside overloads the bed with pillows, ALL of which are comfortable. This place is an absolute gem.

We were blown away by how personable, welcoming and accommodating the hosts are! The included breakfast was plentiful and fun and we enjoyed the "happy hour" with complimentary wine/drinks and cheese/crackers, and charcuteries. So many other extras: loaner bicycles, s'mores at the firepit, large collection of loaner DVDs and games, fully stocked honor bar, sauna, hammocks... if we had more fully realized how convenient and amenity-rich the property was, we have booked a longer stay.

We just returned from 2 terrific nights at the Fireside Lodge while visiting our daughter working nearby. South Lake Tahoe is not filled w/luxurious or super-service oriented spots to stay; most are older or quasi-renovated former roadside motels. The Fireside is one of those (traditional lodge feel & decor), but with the most wonderful human touch. Upon check-in we were offered a tour…the pride of ownership & attention to every sweet detail was immediately evident. From an awesome breakfast set-up to nightly firepit s’mores to DVD’s (every room has a player) to cruiser bikes to a meditation/sauna room, there’s a conscious effort to make every stay a full & fun one. The rooms themselves are clean w/comfy beds & updated, stocked bathrooms. There’s a kitchenette w/min-fridge, dishes, etc. The location & access to national forest trails, etc. can’t be beat. Everyone on staff was incredibly friendly & helpful. So yes, we’d highly recommend this property…it’s a real treat to stay somewhere these days where folks care so much about your experience, & try so hard to make it as enjoyable as possible.

Fantastic in every way! We stayed for one night with our newly adopted 10 year old dog. He loved it and so did we. Ben, one of the owners, who greeted us with his dog Kai was outstanding. They treat you like family. The property is an older motel, that I remember from when I was a child, that has been beautifully converted into an adorable, spotless B&B with all the modern conveniences. We stayed in The Moose Room which was great with two beds, one king and one queen, a fully stocked kitchenette with microwave, good size freezer/fridge and the bathroom was very nice, modern and spotless. The beds were very comfortable. They provide dog water & food bowls with a mat to put them on, a blanket for the bed, a towel to wipe paws if needed and dog treats! What more could Charlie ask for…oh, and he got lots of pets from the owners and fellow guests! The happy hour is lovely and it was fun to visit with our fellow delightful guests and Ben. They serve wine, cheese and crackers. There is also a full bar if you want a cocktail. The charge for the cocktails is reasonable. The breakfast is expansive with waffles with fresh berries and quite a few other toppings. A variety of breads, cereals, yogurt, hard boiled eggs and beverages. They have a gorgeous outdoor patio seating area where they roast S’Mores from 7-9pm. They rent paddle boards and have bikes. They main doggie relief area is great and there is a second area off to the side. There is a game room with ping pong and another similar game, a bookshelf full of board games and books and DVD’s. They also have a lovely sun room with a spa. This is a VERY pet friendly B&B but even if I didn’t have a dog, I would still stay at Fireside Lodge whenever I visit Lake Tahoe.

The Fireside Lodge was such a cute place to stay. From the lovely themed room to the breakfast laid out as if you were in your grandmothers kitchen. The staff were amazing! Super friendly & loved the pup too! The complementary bikes were fun to ride down the trail that lies right behind the lodge -making it super continent. If you want to be about 10 mins from downtown S. Lake Tahoe avoiding too much hustle & bustle. This is the perfect location. Right by the entry way to the forrest, but close enough to restaurants etc. Hope to come back soon.

My husband and I were on a ten day road trip from Oklahoma to California and back. I found this wonderful motor lodge on the internet and it was one of the highlights of our road trip! The family owned lodge was clean, comfortable, and the family made us feel at home. Ben helped me find a room at their sister lodge on the first night of our South Lake Tahoe stay because they didn’t have any vacancies. We were able to spend the next two nights in their lovely accommodations. Breakfast was delicious, happy hour from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm enjoyable, but my favorite time was sitting by the fire pit from 7:00 pm until 9:00 pm eating S’mores that they provide and roasting marshmallows while visiting with other guests. We met such interesting people who gave us ideas for hiking trails in the area. Ben is a fun, cool guy who reminds me of Chris Pratt! We hope to return and stay at Fireside Lodge in beautiful South Lake Tahoe!
