Exactly what we were looking for !!! So cool !!! Love the Retro vibes. They just don’t make them like that anymore. The owners are really warm and friendly. The place is a jewel. You have to check it out, True Tahoe Soul. Can’t wait to go back.

Much of South Lake Tahoe is noisy and congested. Fireside is located on the edge of the Camp Richardson forested region, perfect hiking distance from Pope Beach. They provide guests with complimentary bikes in the warmer months and snowshoes when the drifts kick in. Unlike many Tahoe motels on the highways, Fireside Lodge is quiet at night (due to its location). The themed rooms are clean and cozy with quaint kitsch and plenty of space and amenities (such as fireplaces and kitchens with a dining table). The hosts provide a hearty breakfast, including a stand-out waffle bar with all the fixings. The evenings offer wine and cheese and smores by a campfire. There's even a hot tub, sauna, and game room (complete with vintage arcade games). The Fireside Lounge is everything you could want in an affordable Tahoe stay.

One of the best places we have been to. This family owned gem is amazing. It offers something for all ages. Owners are super friendly and helpful. They have very well behaved and trained lodge dog ‘Kai’. It’s very well maintained rustic lodge.

Friendly staff, cozy room and lodge. We had such a fun stay at Fireside! We totally forgot to take photos of ourselves skiing beautiful Northstar, but we took lots of pics of our fun time at Fireside, lol! You can tell that the proprietors really care not only about their property, but your experience there.

Owners were very accommodating with early check in. Room was clean, nice and perfect for our needs/family. Kitchenette was stocked with a microwave, toaster, coffee maker, small crockpot, dishes, eating utensils etc. Expanded continental breakfast was very nice and a rare find nowadays. Mattress on one bed was a little uncomfortable, but all else puts this place on our list of where we would stay again!

Great for a trip with the dogs! Super close to get downtown but very little traffic on a closed street with direct access to the bike path where the dogs had a blast. We got snowed in and the fireplace kept us toasty and satellite TV had movies galore. We will stay here again when we visit friends in SLT. Thanks!

This is a family owned lodge, and yes it feels like home, the owner is always helpful and friendly and run the business with hearts and effort! Visited there last weekend! During the winter storm, wow it's been a long time since last time I saw this much snow, so fun, but almost got stuck in Tahoe LOL, 50/88/80 were all closed and waited 3 hour to get out. And yes the experience was exceptional. (isn't S'more in heavy snow exceptional? Dig my car out of snow is so fun) some fun facts: There was a power outage following the storm, so the coffee machine was not working in that morning, but the owner bought a ton of Starbucks for all the guests. There was a dog named Leo and my son are missing him so much when back home. Would definitely recommend it!
