Best spot on Carnelian Bay. Old Tahoe style 😎 with the best dining on the North lake across the street at Gar Woods. 7/11 open 24/7 for all your sundry and snack needs right there outside the parking lot. Stunning views right out your front door & windows. Dog friendly for a modest extra fee.

We walked it was hot no air, the bed broke when my daughter sat on it bathroom had about 8 spiders in it. Curtain fell off the rod when I tried to open a window. We ran away from this complete dump.

There was no personnel on sight. Our key was taped to the door with our name on it. Grabbed the key and went inside to find a dirty hotel room with very old amenities. There was no A/C so the windows have to be left open so there were tons of bugs in the room. 3 spiders in the bathroom alone, dead bugs and dirt in the bed side drawers. Sat on the bed and it broke, touched the curtain rods and they separated and fell apart. Sheets had holes but seemed to at least be cleaned but the quality of the room is quite poor. Upgrades to amenities and service need to be done. Location is the only thing that is ok but even the location doesn’t leave much in the area for food/shops.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Mike P · Oct 2025

The owner/operator was a very nice man. The lodge is in bad need of a major overhaul and update. Rooms smelled old and funky. Honestly, I've stayed in better motel 6 rooms. The location, however, was spectacular! Right across from lake tahoe. Easy walking distance. So it was a give and take. Over all my family was glad to get out of the smelly rooms. But we appreciated the kind gentleman running the place and the awesome location.

★★★★★ 5.0 Edgar Walker · Aug 2025

Totally fine, good, adequate place to stay with an unbeatable (UNBEATABLE) location for a heck of a price, in a beautiful area. Room was clean, owner was nice and accommodating. I stayed there for 3 nights without a car and walked + took the bus and TART Connect all over the place. Public beach is literally 25 steps from the door. Save your $$ by staying at this wonderfully-priced place to drop your bags & rest your head, and then go spend those dollars at Gar Woods across the street, Waterman's Landing for a kayak rental, and Incline Village Sailing for a wonderful catamaran cruise that picks up at the pier directly across the street. Rooms face west, so if you wanna sleep in, make sure you shut the blinds. But why not go see the sunrise! Plenty of space in my room to sit there and do s
