The decor was awesome! Walking distance to casinos and
Quaint lodge nearby to Heavenly Village and beach!
We stayed at the Gondola Lodge for our first stay in Lake Tahoe in late August and couldn’t have had a better experience. The room was clean and comfortable, bathroom appeared recently updated. There was a pull-out couch, but if using both beds the room would be very tight. We also used the outdoor amenities and enjoyed! Quick walk down to the beach, and even quicker walk to Heavenly Village shops and restaurants. Would recommend.
Had a great time! I went during the week and it was so peaceful and everyone respected the quiet hours. Walking distance to everything your heart desires.

Falsely advertised as having air conditioning. Apparently they have portable ACs but we weren’t supplied any.
We left early as the room was too hot. They still kept our money. There’s a reason they repeatedly ask you to take travel insurance coz they their property isn’t up to par.
My family loved the lodge specially the jacuzzi. They enjoyed it. Spacious. Had a full kitchen. The floors were dusty though and probably the kitchen needs new dishes.
Overall loved it.
Location is very good
Staff engagement and response is great.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
In general it's good one. Location is perfect. The furniture in my room needs some maintenance or upgrade. Other than that, there's nothing I could complain about.
We enjoyed our 3 night stay here. The kitchen was perfect for my husband and I. We had a fireplace that kept us warm. The only thing I would say I wasn’t crazy about was how cold the bathroom was but it wasn’t horrible. Our neighbors upstairs were loud but they were better on night 2. Otherwise we had a great stay.
This was our first expirence at a lodge instead of a hotel. This was a great alternatibe and so close to everything. Our family of 5 and gear fit comfortably. Check-in was easy. Beautiful view from our room.
