The best available Bed and Breakfast Inns to stay near Lake Tahoe (California)
Basking in its 300 days of sunshine, Lake Tahoe is a haven for outdoor fun in every season. Swimming, kayaking and windsurfing are popular in the summer months, while epic snowfall makes for spectacular skiing in winter. For those who prefer indoor fun, there's plenty of that in Tahoe, too. With 24-hour casinos and a flashy nightlife scene, the area has a tangible Vegas vibe. A sprinkle of bling, if you will. Not surprising, since Lake Tahoe straddles the border between California and Nevada.

Reviewed By KWJEWonderful location with a lot of history. Lake Tahoe, Truckee, and Reno are all very close for day trips. The valley itself is absolutely beautiful. We are looking forward to a return visit in the future.
2. Heavenly Valley Lodge
Overall Ratings
5 based on 442 reviews
Newly renovated in 2011. Managed by the Owners! All of our rooms were completely remodeled with brand new beds, linens and furnishings! Our goal is to make this a unique, wonderful and relaxing experience for our guests. We invite you to experience a Lake Tahoe stay like no other. Let us spoil you...We're good at it!!! Lake Tahoe has so much to offer and is also a great home base for skiing, boating, fishing, hiking, biking or just to relax in a beautiful serene location. It is also close to neighboring hot spots such as Yosemite, San Francisco, Napa Valley Wine tasting, and other Northern California & Nevada locations. The Heavenly Valley Lodge Bed & Breakfast is a quiet, Tahoe-Style property located at 1261 Ski Run Blvd just below the world-famous Heavenly Ski slopes, and only a 1/2 mile down to the shores of Lake Tahoe. The property is on a wooded acre and is very spacious and quiet.
Be sure to understand the rooms!
Reviewed By girlwhotraveledStayed here for a couple nights in the bunkhouse cabin. Though the place was clean, the bunkhouse was tight space for three adults. There was a queen bed and a bunk bed right next to it. Barely had any room to navigate or place luggage. Felt very confining! Otherwise the bathroom shower had great water pressure and was nice to have a small kitchenette but for us, it was very cramped and didn’t feel very comfortable due to the size. Probably better for a couple with one kid but that’s it. Location was good though.

Tahoe's only all-inclusive premier bed and breakfast lodge.
Great place to make family memories
Reviewed By Tour51976899391We hosted our sons wedding rehearsal dinner here. It was fantastic. Steven and Traci made our event fantastic. I wish we would have booked to stay there for the weekend. We hosted 50 people for dinner and it was a lot of fun. They made sure we had plenty of room for family. Steve put out corn hole for us and at the end of the evening we roasted marshmallows around their amazing fireplace. We had family from newborn to 89s with walkers and everyone was comfortable. We rented a few rooms for family and regretted not renting more rooms for us.

Good location
Reviewed By julielovesparisPleasant enough for two nights. Room very clean. Roku tv confusing after figuring out how to hook up phone to stream shows could not get live tv to return. Reported it to the front desk on check out. Upstairs occupants noisy at midnight and beyond no phone in the room to ask someone for quiet . Parking lot full of frozen ice don’t they make snow blowers to clear snow before it turns to a mound of ice??? Plus is the location you can walk to a great restaurant Jake’s behind the motel and shopping is very close. Motel next to Safeway and Subway and a coffee house.
5. Welk Resorts Lake Tahoe - One Village Place
Overall Ratings
4 based on 10 reviews
One Village Place is the perfect destination for your next luxury vacation in Lake Tahoe. When you aren't enjoying the sun and snow, you can take part in the shopping, dining, and activities that make Northstar Village world-famous-right outside our doors. Guests have access to the Village Swim Fitness Center, dry sauna, and an indoor/outdoor spa overlooking the village. For the ultimate in snow-filled luxury, you'll enjoy private, front-of-line access to Big Springs Express gondola, and the resort entrance is just a few steps away from the Village Express chairlift (both seasonal, ticket required). During summer, the mountain is home to the most extensive lift-served mountain bike terrains in the Western U.S. and travelers can relish in activities like roller skating, bungee trampoline, Apex mini-ropes challenge, gem panning, miniature golf, wine talks and so much more.
Worst place we ever stayed!
Reviewed By kualalynWe booked 2 rooms for 4 adults for 2 nights for a family wedding in the area. First of all it cost $700.00 for those 2 days then the room (fairly clean) but we could not even open the “electric” drapes because the mechanism was broken with exposed wires! Then we wanted ice - no machines or even a ice tray. We call the “desk” and they said there was no ice but tomorrow if and when the store opened we might be able to get some there. The store did not open until 11. There was a restaurant on the grounds but it only opened from 11-3 and only for a couple of choices of extremely expensive sandwiches that only contained 1/2 the ingredients as described. We travel extensively but have never stayed in a place that used to have a great reputation. Since the Welk family sold this it has totally gone to the dogs - I don’t think even dogs would want to stay there now. We are embarrassed because we suggested this place to our family. Never, NEVER would I recommend this place to anyone! Guess we should have complained when there but there was NOT A soul around. Please save yourself the headache and stay at a local casino/hotel as I now wish we had.

7. The Elet Hotel

Good BUT.....
Reviewed By Neil Ma few minor things let this hotel/motel down.... The things that let it down in the room I stayed in : Only bedside light the other bedside light didn't give out much light & main lights were a bit to much for just sitting in room at night. Also only one plug socket on the same side of bed, phone/batteries had to be charged on floor nearby. There was no place to store luggage expect on floor in corner of room. The blind in room can't be opened without the whole neighbourhood being able to look in. The major problem with the room was the noisy bed metal bed-frame & base, every time i moved it creaked very loudly! All this being said, the room is spacious, bed was a good size, very clean and excellent bathroom. The major plus was all the amenities that come supplied, Coffee, Tea, snacks, shampoo etc. Also area was quiet and parking on-saite
