Fireside Lodge

This place is amazing!! The rooms are beautifully decorated and the beds are so comfortable. They have thought of everything to make your stay here fantastic! The breakfast is great! We would definitely stay here again if we return back to Tahoe!

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.

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.

Let me start by saying Ben is awesome! The Fireside Lodge is a true gem tucked next to a National Forest. While most hotels are taking away amenities, the Fireside Lodge creatively gives you all you could ask for and more; wine & cheese, breakfast, bikes, paddle boards and s'mores. We were actually leaving Lake Tahoe when our SUV broke down. Luckily they had a room for us during the week for our unexpected stay. We booked the room with Ben and it could not have been a more comforting place to stay after our grueling day. The next morning during breakfast we mentioned to Ben the details of our car issues. By the end of breakfast Ben was actually under the hood of our Range Rover tweaking our repair, filling our suspension with air and giving us the confidence we needed to make it safely home. He even offered to drive and pick us up if the SUV went down again! Talk about going above and beyond! We could not be more grateful for his help and assistance. Thank you Ben! The FL is a family owned business with a lot of heart and good people. We will definitely be back but next time without the car repair!

Fireside Lodge was the perfect place for us to stay to celebrate our 50th Anniversary! We booked the whole place. Each of our guests had their own cozy room & bath, they loved the breakfasts, wine & cheese & s'mores! But, most of all was the warm, helpful owners & staff. We highly recommend it!
