Guest Reviews

A delightful experience We had the most delightful stay at the fireside Lodge. We were immediately welcomed and shown around the property. Our room was one of 10 individually decorated rooms and it was very very cute. The kitchen was actually a separate room and a nice little fireplace in the room. We were welcomed with wine and charcuterie. My grandson was with me and Ben, One of the owners, played some air hockey with him, which was really fun. It was very comfortable in the lodges meeting room with memorabilia everywhere. The lodge is backed up by trails that go on and on around the lake so we went for a nice walk. It was off-season for the bicycles and the snow wasn’t at lake level so we couldn’t snowshoe.After dinner, we sat around the fire pit and made s’mores. The next morning we had breakfast, although the power was out throughout Southlake Tahoe, so we had a cold breakfast which was fine. The others came in and made sure we were comfortable and made some coffee for us on the gas stove. We had fresh fruit and cereal and yogurt.All in all, I would say this is one of the best stays I’ve ever had at a hotel. I would highly recommend a stay at the fireside Lodge.

Loved our stay Loved our stay here. Came with mom and my dog. So nice to have a truly dog friendly place to stay. Nice evening reception, good breakfast in the morning. Bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but was doable. Nice to have a kitchenette in our room since we have dietary restrictions and usually bring most of our own food when traveling. Would make 1 suggestion, the rug in the bathroom should be nonskid, it tended to slip and move around. Just need to be careful with those who have balance issues (such as mom). Will definitely stay again!!!

My new favorite spot in South Shore 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.

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.
