Station House Inn
Everything you'll need for your Lake Tahoe vacation is within walking distance, right outside our doors including the beautiful alpine lake, private beach, ski resorts, restaurants, shops and casinos. Whether you're here to relax or work, the Station House Inn is your basecamp to explore and unwind.

South Lake Tahoe is a vacation paradise with its sparkling alpine lake, majestic mountains, and dense forests. The Station House Inn is an ideal base for your summer getaways or ski vacations. We are a short walk from to the Heavenly Gondola, one block away from the lake, or five from nightlife. A 2.4 mile ride up in the Heavenly Mountain Gondola will leave you breathless as you take in panoramic views of Lake Tahoe.
Services
In 1844 explorers John Fremont and Kit Carson discovered Lake Tahoe. In the summer Lake Tahoe Basin was a gathering place for three bands of peaceful Washoe Indians. The lake held spiritual meaning for the tribe and many sacred ceremonies were held along the southern shores. Development at Lake Tahoe began in earnest in the 1950s.
There's a reason small groups can't wait to take up residence at Station House Inn. Apart from an unbeatable location, our intimate, historic hotel is perfectly sized for buyouts and staffed with a team who'll smooth the way for whatever brings you to town.

Whether you're tying the knot in Lake Tahoe (and have a houseful of friends and family heading your way) or your production crew needs stylish digs to rest and recharge between takes, we'll roll out the red carpet for your small group, from breakfast to cocktails.

Can't even say enough great things about this hotel! I stayed here with my sister in the summer and we are still talking about how amazing it was. The staff was so friendly and gave us lots of recommendations, they had a gorgeous lobby with a movie playing one night on the projector, we roasted marshmallows and played games at night, it's so close to downtown and also the lake. Super quiet neighborhood and fun to walk over to the beach bar for a sunset drink. The restaurant next door was so delicious we ate there for almost every meal lol. And our room was great too. We ended up wanting

We stayed 2 nights here recently and enjoyed it very much. It was very clean, cozy and very close to everything nearby. They have a very nice restaurant that serves great food, only bad thing is they open at 9am. They have 2 fire pits outside to sit around and stay warm which was nice. They also have board games in the office lounge and a giant Jenga game to play as well. They did not have a microwave in the room but I was able to warm up my food in the main office. Certain nights they have movie night in the office lounge with a big screen and a comfy couch to sit on. Our room was nice and clean

The bathroom flooded through the shower so we ended up using time and lots of towels to clean. The manager was nice about it but I'm wondering why.we paid so much for a plumbing issue There were other rooms we could have stayed in
.We ate at the restaurant twice. Very good menu..

This was a great find. It was clean and kindly run and my son and I had a nice stay. The rooms are motel-style, but nice, and the property has just enough personality in the lounge and outdoor spaces to elevate it a little bit above a traditional motel. Walking distance from the lake. The restaurant is especially good. We would stay again.

We have really enjoyed our stay here. It is clean, comfortable, and convenient to everything. The products in the room were good quality. The customer service is excellent. We felt welcomed and our dog loved it here. The food in the restaurant is very good. Love the coziness of the property and fire pit. Only thing I wish was a larger pet relief area especially during the night. We would definitely come back and recommend it to others.

Very quiet hotel. Great location in South Lake Tahoe. Room was very clean. Rooms are slightly dark due to the decor. The main overhead light didn't work well.

The rooms are great, they smell like essential oils. The lighting in the room is very low and is not ideal to get work done. I would have loved to have a microwave in the hotel room. The service was excellent. They also have games and fire pit outside for entertainment.

This is the absolute cutest most cozy place we have ever stayed at in Tahoe! All of the staff was beyond friendly and helpful! Our room was perfect, the size was great the vibe was amazing, bed was comfy! Everything was just so thought out about our entire stay for a weekend getaway with the hubby
& corn hole! One of our favorite outing games, next to a fire pit!!
Over all the best stay we've had! We'll be back!

There’s a lot of pros and cons. They don’t have a microwave but they have a fridge. They don’t have an iron I think you have to get it from the front desk. They do give you free water. The rooms includes soap body wash shampoo and conditioner

Man, times change when you are getting old. Back in the day, we spent my 21st birthday in Tahoe and this place was not what it is today. If I remember correctly, we stayed around the corner from here at a dive motel and loved it! But, that was when I was young, dumb, and full of com... completely ridiculous thoughts and stuff.

Fast forward to present day and this place is fire! Fire, like Rihanna in stockings and pointy toe see through clear heels (which I hate, but y'all love for some unknown reasons) and fancy sunglasses. They have done a ton of renovations, and it shows. It has a very

Horrible customer service! The problem we had was with the room assigned. I was given a room and when we walked in we noticed the carpet was wet. I immediately notified the front desk and they offered to go up and dry the carpet! I went and came a couple of times to my room and carpet was still wet! At the end of the day when we were getting ready to call it a night the moment we walk into the room we noticed the room was hot even though the AC had been on all day. I immediately went to the front desk and informed her of what was going on. She pm shift front desk and maintenance guy shortly notified

Really enjoyed our stay. Recently renovated with an outdoorsy theme. USB charging outlets on both nightstands and the desk. Clean. Great water pressure. Good location within walking distance of Heavenly Resort and a private beach (fee but front counter has discounted pass). Complimentary hard seltzer and soda at front desk when we stayed. Pool and fire pit area were clean and comfortable to hangout. Free onsite parking. Will stay here again.

So seriously overpriced!

No beach passes.

If breakfast was included they didn't mention it.

Rooms are tiny.

Shower has no curtain so water covers the floor.

Loud ac. Turned it off at night and then had to listen to all the parking lot noise all night.

Never staying here again.

Wonderful place to stay in South Lake Tahoe! Quiet, relaxing, and very clean. Price was very reasonable. There is a pool area that’s great for families, with a lounge area behind. The best part.. 5-10 minute walking distance from many shops and delicious restaurants! Thank you for our stay!

Warning: false advertising & grumpy restaurant staff.

Copied & pasted from their website:

"Services & Amenities
-Complimentary Beach Passes!
-Seasonal Poolside Lunch
-High-speed WiFi
-Business Services
-Seasonal Outdoor Heated Pool
-Complimentary Parking
-Dog friendly, just ask!"

We were disappointed to find the swimming pool and hot tub were closed for construction. We were refused beach passes because we were told by front desk staff they only hand them out during the summer. We were told the fire pit was closed on our first night but found it open on our final night

Every staff member has gone above and beyond to make us feel so welcome and cared for. Our room is freshly renovated, so fresh and modern with custom soap that smelled incredible. We have a 12 year old Labrador retriever, they helped arrange a a first floor king size room so we didn't have to carry him up and down the stairs. They even ran treats over to our pup upon arrival.

We only booked our room for a few days and wanted to extend our stay. Our room was booked the following day. Stacy was kind enough to call the new guests and try to arrange another room for them, hoping to keep us in

This hotel was spotless, hotel was absolutely lovely. The post cards, the matches, the lobby....Love the remodel they did. Seems they are still working on the outside of the building, pool and hot tub were closed. There were no q tips or bathroom type toiletries in bathroom. Towels were soft and plush not some hand towel size (lol) I definitely can't wait to come back. Great location, walking distance to lake and to NV state line and plenty of restaurant options. Parking is a bit tricky, we have a large van promaster and spots are tight. Hotel parking is included in with stay...

Booked through Hotwire and were lucky we got this place. It was clean, comfortable a d conveniently located near Base Camp.

The staff was friendly but was somewhat distracted with other tasks so it didn't feel like we had their full attention (He was ready to get off work and as soon as his relief showed up he stopped helping us and said, "she'll help you." I didn't mind it too much as I understand that when it's time to get off work, it's time to get off work.

The price through Hotwire was one of the lowest around so it was double bonus!

My only concern

So we found this diamond with the help of travelzoo. I was kind of worried because we normally stay on the strip. I will soon find out, staying on the strip is dumb.

We checked in and check in was a breeze. Now it was time to head to our room. One word to describe our room, AMAZING. The room was perfect. Very cozy and had all the needed amenities plus a fridge.

Our room was a 9 minute walk to heavenly and the strip. I now realize we don't ever need to stay on the strip. The other cool part was the fact across the street was a decent slope where the kids had a blast sliding down the slope

We normally stay at a different lodge down the road but they were fully booked so we decided to give this place a shot and we were happy we did!

The good:
Pet friendly
Newly renovated
Very clean and cozy
Walking distance to heavenly gondola
Walls are not thin!
Plenty of usb chargers
Free dog treats in reception

The bad:
The room is a bit small than the other place we normally frequent
Wifi was spotty at times but maybe because we were staying in a far corner?
No breakfast to go bags
The nails that kept the security lock latch was coming undone
The bed sheets felt a bit itchy
The heater unit was

This was quite a good hotel for the price. The room was large ("Roomy King"), clean, nice decor, there were lots of convenient hooks for hanging things, comfortable bed, lots of pillows, etc.

There was a fridge and coffeemaker in the room, but no microwave, which definitely needs fixing.

The pool and hot tub were a bit dirty -- the water needs more skimming. But the nicely-isolated pool-side cabanas were great.

The location is great: close to the beach, close to the Heavenly Village shops and I-50, close to the Nevada casinos, etc.

I definitely loved this cabin-ish feel I got staying here for a small winter break getaway with my family. You honestly get cabin-like vibes staying here but inside the room itself, of course it feels more like an inn the way it describes so you get the best of both.

Inside was neither fancy or terrible. It was decent and perfect for a short stay!

There is complimentary breakfast and I want to give credit to the short staff service because they were honestly working their butt offs during a packed busy morning. They still were being respectful, had bright positive greetings and you can tell
