Why the Owner Chose Al Tahoe
We love Al Tahoe! Al Tahoe is one of South Lake Tahoe's oldest and most historic neighborhoods. It is located in the center of South Lake Tahoe between Regan Beach and Lake Tahoe Blvd, quickly accessible as it's close to Highway 50. It is extremely safe for strolling with small children and long jogs/runs in the Meadow. Regan Beach is just a short walk away from our home with a playground for kids and many geese to chase! Other Lake Tahoe activities are very near to the Al Tahoe area including Heavenly Valley Ski & Village, Camp Ricardson/Valhalla Historic Resort, Emerald Bay, Casino Corridor, and the El Dorado Beach Recreation Area/boat ramp.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
We want your stay at South Lake Lodge to be like that at a high-end Bed & Breakfast. You'll find no 70's furniture, orange shag rugs, or funky tile here - we've completely gutted and replaced the bathrooms, kitchen, flooring, fixtures, lighting and added high-end furnishing for your (and our) comfort and enjoyment. Our hope is that you'll treat South Lake Lodge like your own and keep coming back to stay with us.
Six blocks from the lodge is Regan Beach with a children's playground and many geese for kids to chase!
This shop is in an excellent location, where the Lake Tahoe Bike Path begins at El Dorado Beach. The staff sells and rents everything you need for both summer and winter sports.
Within walking distance from the lodge. Meadow is perfect for jogs/runs, hiking, biking and exploring with the kids. Ends at a secluded beach on Lake Tahoe (Hidden Beach).
Harvey, Harrahs, and MontBleu among several others are just an $8 cab ride from the lodge.
Bijou Community Park has a playground, group picnic shelters, bandstand/gazebo, fitness trail, horseshoe pits, game court area, sand volleyball courts, & skateboard park (helmets and pads required).
Mini-golf and mini amusement park, perfect for the whole family.
Picchetti Winery is one of the oldest wineries in California. It has a tasting room within walking distance from the lodge.
Both are our family favorites for great fast (and cheap) eats.
A famous ski resort in Lake Tahoe on the California and Nevada border. Find the latest snow conditions, ski reports, live ski cams, discounted ski passes, blogs at skiheavenly.com.

(Comment emailed directly to South Lake Lodge owner) We just came back from a great trip - our usual rental home was booked so we tried "South Lake Lodge" and loved it! Here's what stood out: - While the home isn't new, the furnishings, kitchen and baths look like they were newly updated and were very clean & high-end compared to other rental houses we've stayed at - The kids spent hours in the game room which gave us adults time to actually sit down, relax and talk:) - The owners left us a free bottle of wine to enjoy - a nice touch after 5 hours in the car! - We walked to this amazing beach each morning w/ the kids - a great park and playground for those with little ones - The owners hooked us up with a great babysitter which gave us a chance to hit the casino's two of the nights - my wife even won $2,000 on video poker more than paying for our trip:) No real negatives except the thunderstorms in August can cut your beach days a bit short
