Very convenient location to Heavenly Gondola and Village. Clean, comfortable rooms with all the basics that you need. There is no front desk but support is easily available offsite via text. We appreciated that the property was gated which helped it feel more secure. We will definitely stay again at the Gondola Lodge for a convenient place to stay for skiing or easy access to the beach in the summertime. Highly recommend!

Many of the previous reviews are not correct I read rooms are quiet: not true. Every foot step from the upstairs echos and so loud I read great staff: There is no front office. No human to talk to to check in This lodge just looks good on pictures. For two nights stay for two of us, they gave us only one disposable shampoo Also, there were very strong cleaning chemical smell. This place is comparable to motel 6 in terms of built quality But the price I paid was comparable to Grand Marriot.

In the future for my taste I’d try one of the larger spaces (I’m a lady with too much stuff) this space is perfect for a short stay or just to crash/ski it’s perfect Location, location, location it’s a block from all the action of South Lake Tahoe.

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.
