Guest Reviews

Cozy Cabin Vibes with Outstanding Hospitality. We stayed in Room #2 - Field & Stream. Our stay at Fireside Lodge far exceeded our expectations and experiences at other hotels. The unique themes of each room creates a cozy, homey atmosphere, making them perfect for a couple’s getaway or small family vacation. The rooms also include a small kitchen equipped with utensils, dishes, dog bowls, and even complimentary cookies as a welcome and thank you gift for choosing Fireside Lodge. The main lobby was another highlight. It offered a warm and inviting space to relax, socialize, and enjoy waffles, wine, movies, board games, and retro video games. The kitchen was stocked with all sorts of small, complimentary delights including fruits, coffee, hot cocoa, and juices. Fireside Lodge also sits perfectly on the outskirts of the main city. It offers a peaceful and quiet setting while remaining close to hiking trails, eateries, and city attractions. However, the biggest highlight of our stay was the family who owns and operates Fireside Lodge. They were incredibly warm, welcoming, and charismatic, going above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful stay. They provided excellent recommendations for nearby hiking trails and places to eat. I have to give a special shout-out to Ben, who may have been getting smoked in Super Smash Bros., but was nevertheless great company and one of the highlights of our trip. He also knows how to cook a mean steak. Dare I say, he deserves a raise :)! Overall, we could not have asked for a better experience and we plan to stay at Fireside Lodge whenever we return to South Lake Tahoe.

Fun, friendly, clean -- what an awesome place to stay! Such a GREAT motel/B&B! The room, bathroom, kitchenette, and parking were fine -- the amenities and DIY breakfast were outstanding. We were there overnight with our 20-something kids -- and all of us had a great time. We played ping pong, arcade games, and air hockey. We roasted smores around the firepit. We celebrated a birthday across the street at the awesome Evan's Gourmet Café. We stretched our legs around the forest just outside the lodge. Comfortable beds, everything spotless. Our room was perpendicular to the road, so road noise was not an issue at all. The staff are ALL truly the nicest hosts imaginable.

COZY, COMFORTABLE AND CUTE! Love everything about this place! The staff is friendly without being too pushy. They are so accommodating to requests. If they can make it happen they do! Loved the bikes available to ride. The trails are right there and the ride down to the shore of beautiful Lake Tahoe is not more than 2 miles. Their breakfast is everything you need! Coffee is always available and so is a very nice, warm greeting from Kai, just one of the resident K9 greeters! She’ll even escort you safely back to your room if you need it! This place is wonderful for those who travel with the fur babies! The rooms were so clean and comfortable. We were in town for a wedding along with other friends. Their stay was at Camp Richardson just down the road. They were very envious of our accommodations! Rooms are small but the decor is well done! We will definitely stay there again!

OUR LOVE FOR DOGS

Dogs are welcome in this hotel. We never had a dog that smoked in bed and set fire to the blankets. We never had a dog that stole our towels and played the T.V. too loud, or had a noisy fight with his traveling companion. We never had a dog that got drunk and broke up the furniture. So if your dog can vouch for you, you’re welcome too.
