Tahoe North Shore Lodge

2.0 star property

"This is an amazing out of the way type of place. I loved it. It’s a bit old an clunky and they need to do a better job with snow removal. However, quiet and inexpensive, across the street from probably the best restaurant in Tahoe. Slept like a baby. Concierge Mr. Star (Black Lab) may be the nicest dog on the planet. A 711 right next door for when you run out of beer:-)… Bring your snow boots! Public
beach
right across the street. Peek a boo views of the lake across the street from the hotel. "

"We had a great quick trip to North Lake Tahoe. The house is incredible and the views can't be beat. It's like staying in an art museum. The location is ideal - 20 minutes in either direction and you're at Palisades or Northstar (Ikon and Epic passes, respectively). There's great dining both directions too - east to Kings
Beach
or west to Tahoe City (with Garwoods on the way!). The snow is FAB this year - get out there!"
