Tahoma Lodge

We stayed in the Tamarack. Very nice clean cabins. We would stay here again. We had 4 adults and 2 kids. It was like being at home in the woods. We were across the street from a small beach shared with other homes. There was confusion at first over the heat sources. In this lodge we had both a large wood stove or could use the gas heat. There was a cute red gas log heater in the bed room. The gas heat was turned off but it was the middle of June and only 55 out. So my son-​in-​law relit the gas heat. The log fireplace would overheated the 2 headroom cabin at that temperature so it was nice having the gas option. Be sure to ask about that when making reservations.

Stumbled upon this place whilst looking for a last minute, inexpensive option to stay by the lake one night that we had planned to go camping, but then the mid-​October rain got in the way. Natalia is super friendly and the informational binder she has in each of the lodges is full of very useful and unique information. The lodge was very clean, well stocked and so cosy; the fireplace was such a treat! Dog friendly is a big plus too. Can’t wait to visit again!

If I could live here, I would. This place is so cozy and comfy. I like that there is a supply of coffee beans from Trader Joe’s in the kitchen. It’s clean, has comfortable beds, and plenty of blankets. I love this place, and will definitely be back. Natalia, you are a great manager!!!

Can I give more than 5 stars?
I really, really regret that we only spent one night here. We drove up and immediately knew we had stumbled across a hidden gem. They only have one terrible Google rating so we were nervous…
The property manager, Natalia, is extremely sweet and accomodating. She will give you her contact info and you can call her ANY time.
The cabin itself– we had the Aspen cabin– was awesome! Felt exactly like a cozy little cabin should. It was impeccably clean and stocked with all we needed. The kitchen is stocked, there are books and board games, firewood, and plenty of extra pillows and blankets. There’s a great binder full of information about the surrounding area. Our bed was sooooo comfy, and we got the best night sleep we’ve had during our trip. The free wifi was a little slow– but exceeded our expectations, as we were in the forest and it was similar to other hotel wifi that we’ve experienced. It definitely got the job done.
The hot tub is open year-​round and it’s location makes for a great night, whatever time of year. You’re a quick walk to the water as well. There are little stores along the main road nearby, but somehow this location feels very remote and quiet. It felt like we were the only people on the lake that day.
Another huge perk– they are dog friendly! We love that!

Natalia, the property manager, is awesome. The location is great, the price is great, they’re incredibly dog friendly. The cabin had a central air/​heating system along with two fireplaces (1 gas, 1 wood), and a complete kitchen. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

What a cute place! We had a wedding to attend up in Tahoe and this was the perfect location for us. In general, I’m not a huge outdoor, camping type of gal (and my husband will tell you I «hate nature», which is not true). But, I can totally do lodges like this! We got ourselves a one bedroom here which was plenty big for the two of us with a nice small stove, dining table and couch. It has all your basic needs with the basic kitchen essentials as well. The burning furnace to keep you warm was also a nice touch. Outside there was a shared fire pit for the entire area, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The owner left a pile of wood on the side for you to build your own fire if you wanted to. It was nice and quiet and away from the main street enough, that when we went outside at night, you can see a lot of stars between the tall trees– no street lights to obstruct the view. Very relaxing area actually.
During out stay however, there was a power outage for an hour which freaked me out a little bit. Not sure how you can prepare for that, but just wanted to throw that out there. And the best part about this place is that they are dog friendly! We brought our Goldie up there with us, and the trip felt complete with the whole family enjoying a relaxing, outdoor weekend!

My husband and I just spent a night in the Aspen Cabin at Tahoma Lodge. It is really cute and very clean. Natalia (property manager) is really sweet and accommodating. This is a great location, as it is very close to Chambers beach, a bike trail, and walking distance to the Tahoma Market.
The kitchen was stocked with all of the pots/​pans & utensils that you would need to cook dinner. The deck has a charcoal BBQ and a few chairs. It came with coffee and filters for the coffee maker — which is a PLUS!
Dog Friendly!!!
Highly recommend Tahoma Lodge as a great place to stay on the west shore.

This was our second time staying at Tacoma lodge. Have stayed in the alder and fir cabins. Both are very nice and clean. Staff is very helpful and on the premises 24 hrs a day. Dogs are welcome here with no additional fees. Quiet, clean, well stocked cabins in a good location.

GREAT STAY! We just returned from a quick «refresher» night in Tahoe — I’ve driven by this place many times as we usually camp at SugarPine but decided to give this «last man standing» place a whirl. It’s cute, cozy and everyone (guests included) were so friendly. I met the owners who personally came and asked us if we had all we needed for the night… UMMMM hmmm … fully equipped in the Tamarack cabin and she was asking if we needed more?! Wow — can’t get that in a hotel that’s for sure. Natalia, the manager was super great with her customer service skills and if she’s the «housekeeper» — then God Bless her b/​c she is greatly gifted at what she does! We will be back and as another reviewer said… all others on West Shore have gone into foreclosure — the area is growing depressed in it’s upkeep but not Tahoma Lodge — Pride in Ownership and quality service abound! Thanks to all who recommended it :) Loved our stay. PS I only gave it 4 stars b/​c it is quite rustic but clean so if you are looking for Westin or 4 Seasons… not it.

If you place your curser on this place in Google maps it gives one review: «Not a very good place to stay». WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! Two of us just spent four days at the Tahoma Lodge (Alpine cabin) and it was just what we wanted. I suppose that if you are looking for Hilton accommodations then you will be disappointed, but let’s get real. This place is on the «nostalgic» West side of the lake —close to THE lake, parks, hiking and nature. There are no casinos or 4 lane hwy. here like the Nevada side. They are open year round, take dogs (which I don’t have) and a fully-​supplied kitchen. There is wood provided for your fireplace, and barbecue pits for every cabin; plus a nice pool and hot tub. And, yes, there is wi-​fi, premium TV, plus a dvd/​CD player (part of TV) in case you have urban withdrawal. All the similar properties in the area are closed due to foreclosure. This place DESERVES your business. Natalia, the manager, is hands off but lives there and is very responsive when you need her. I leave the city to get away from it all, not get more of the same. SHAME ON GOOGLE!

i just spent a weekend here with a small group of friends and the cabin was PERFECT! we stayed in the spruce apartment, and we all had no complaints whatsoever.
natalia, the property manager, was extremely accommodating with my ever-​changing weekend dates. she was always available via phone or email and was extremely helpful.
our cabin was perfect. a well-​stocked kitchen, satellite for all TVs, and the cabin itself was pristine and comfortable. our apartment/​cabin even had its own private entryway to the pool and hot tub area. i’m not sure if anyone else was staying on the property at the same time, but i guess we lucked out since we had the entire backyard to ourselves. we took advantage of the situation and bbq’d the afternoon away. the supermarket (save mart) is about 15 minutes away.
the area is great for a small and quiet getaway. great for families!

We spent 2 nights at Tahoma Lodge & it was wonderful! Check-​in was super-​easy (even though we arrived late), the accommodations were stellar (we had the Lodgepole cabin), and that staff were friendly and helpful. This place is comfortable, kid-​friendly and puppy-​friendly. I can’t wait to go back in the summer for another stay!

We loved this place. We go to Tahoe about 5 times a year, and this is hands down the best place we have stayed. I felt like I was in the comfort of a friend’s home. Loved everything about this place. Right down the road from Homewood, Casinos, and plenty of places to eat. We opted to bring our own food. The kitchen was fully stocked and clean. Everything was about comfort. The Towels were fluffy and soft. The bedding was more comfortable than my own bed. We enjoyed coming back to the cabin after skiing and having a nice warm fire to drink our wine in front of.
We plan on returning with the same couple and our children very soon! We were already planning our return minutes after entering the Alder Cabin!
Prices are also reasonable and worth every penny!

My son and I stayed here for a couple of days of post-​Christmas skiing/​snowboarding. The Cedar Apartment was perfect for us: cozy, with a separate bedroom and combined living room/​kitchen. The pull-​out sofa was, as indicated in the description, good for a SMALL child. The gas stove made it even more cozy. Everything was clean and well equipped. The linens were especially nice: big fluffy towels and soft sheets. Walking distance to a pizza place which we took advantage of one night when I didn’t want to venture out in the car on the dark snowy road. Would definitely recommend it!

«Invited to a Tahoe wedding at the top of Homewood Mountain?! I know the perfect place to stay… Tahoma Lodge.» Those were my EXACT words as I spoke them 1 year ago today EXACTLY… well not really but Tahoma Lodge was definitely the perfect place to stay.
We landed the «Spruce Apartment» cabin and this place was fully loaded. Fireplace, large living room, direct access to the pool and a short walk to the lake. This place is so close to Homewood it might as well be considered the Homewood Resort Cabins.
If you are looking to make an inexpensive epic snow/​ski weekend, this is the place for you. If you are looking for an inexpensive quiet secluded romantic weekend, this is the place for you. We opted with option 2 that weekend. I plan on making option 1 a reality this winter.
Don’t get me wrong this is no Aspen Colorado Resort but for the location, price and size of the cabins this is definetely a gem of Tahoe.
