Emerald Bay Lodge

We loved our rooms !! They only provide two towels but are very accommodating in getting more. To check in it was like a hey get your key but that was fine for us!! We loved the kitchen aspect there was some pots and pans but we also brought what we wanted!! There was NO homelessness traffic …. The pool isn’t filled but California is in a drought so I completely understand… but would have been nice… we never had trouble communicating with staff.. our stay was great in all!! Please stay here and don’t follow the review of people who want a 20 star stay. If you want to cook your own meals and have a nice stay come here!!!

Its very antique setting in the rooms, buildings out here in S Lake Tahoe are very historic and have history. If you come from a very busy city like environment, you can appreciate this Motel, surrounding beautiful trees and clean air. Chris who manages the property helped us greatly. He was very courteous and so helpful. He saw it was our first time. He gave us an upgrade with double beds that had a kitchen in it. It has the heater on the wall that warms the whole room up and the beds and pillows are so comfortable.The room, kitchen and bathroom was very clean. Even housekeeping passed us by as we we’re going out and she kindly asked if there was anything we needed. The setting is very frien...
