A wonderful quiet retreat in the edge of SLT.
We loved this place and regretted that we were only here one night. Our room was quite small, which was fine for a night, but I would get a larger room next time
The property backs up to Camp Richardson, so it was very quiet.
I loved taking out a bike to ride the bike trail through the area.
The owners are great, very accommodating. This place is a work of love and it shows.

Cozy Cabin Vibes
On-line check in was a breeze. Pre-check-in was helpful. Breakfast starts at 8 am, but some grab and go was available the night before (for all you early morning skiers). Great response from the management team. Would definitely go again!

Great place!
The Fireside is cozy, welcoming and comfortable with amenities for the kids and the grown-ups. We had a good time there and the family who operate the lodge were all lovely.

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.

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.
