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!
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.

Very clean. Amazin people. Nice place to stay with the kids. Provide a play Room, movies, popcorn , smores, puzzles. Breakfast is good as well.
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.
A DOG FRIENDLY must visit. Love the waffles, an the walking trails, every room is different it's so unique. Much better than going to a casino. Amazing sauna and s'mores provided a dog friendly must visit
Great place. Friendly and engaging staff. Enjoyed breakfast and Happy Hour. Stunning areas around SLT. If you intend to stay in the area you must stay here.
The best!!! They do have gentle dogs on property and allow for add fee to bring your pups. Worth every penny!!! I don't want to give away too much because we were pleasantly surprised.
Very cute place. Stayed before. Homey and welcoming

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.
