I know the city has been evacuated and I feel dreadful for the family. It's just too good to stay away for long.Įdit: I really hope the fires Tahoe is experiencing now do not get to the Fireside. But we all hope to get back up to the Fireside Lodge one day.
The worst thing about going on vacation is coming home. A beautiful drive with incredible views of the mountains and lake. We also had an audio tour guide on the phone and spent a day taking a slow lap around the lake. Tracy or Olivia are always available to offer recommendations for day activities, with local insider secrets the average tourist would not usually get to be aware of.Ī lovely 30-40 minute drive from the Fireside is the Donner Pass Monument if you feel like a bit of historical culture day trip. The waffles and french vanilla coffee are still missed around here. It's a very dog friendly accommodation.īreakfast is handled with military precision and guests are given all they need to get the day off to a good start. The dogs are always around too, looking for some loving or mischief. Steve is always doing the rounds to make sure the ship is running right and no one is without anything the need. Later, enjoy complementary smores around the firepit. Meet other guests, discuss the music selection of the day with Steve, enjoy the selection of wine and cheese & crackers. Delicious.Īfter a day of hiking or biking or beach lounging there is Happy Hour back at the Fireside to enjoy. The Fireside courtesy bikes make for a fun day out to the Kiva Beach, and be sure to stop at Camp Richardson General Store for sandwiches on the way. Pope Beach, Emerald Lake, Cascade Lake, Fallen Leaf are all just minutes away. Then take into consideration the proximity to the beaches and the activities on the West side of the lake. It's a much more pleasant location all thing considered. Or there are a few restaurants within walking distance (if you like a walk). It's a short drive back into to town for dinner or groceries. Fireside Lodge is perfect if you are looking for somewhere away from all that madness. Not the chill mountain town you might be looking for.
What isn't so great is the over the top Vegas vibe one gets in downtown South Tahoe. It's a cliche but the personal attention really does make you feel like family. You can tell Steve & Tracy and family really love accommodating their guests, they are the most convivial hosts you will ever meet, and their guests love them. This is not like any hotel you've stayed at before. Steve and Tracy greet their guests by first name. Other families, back for another stay, were greeted as returning friends.
And upon arrival at the Fireside we felt immediately comfortable. Tahoe was a perfect choice for that getaway. After 18 months of WFH and distance learning we all needed some time away from the house and the city. My wife, myself and our teenage son stayed at the Fireside Lodge n early June 2021.
