Everything was wonderful, the staff were so hospitable, the food was awesome, the accomodations were rustic with charm and very quaint. the knotty pine interior of the cabins and rooms was really warm and inviting. The decor fit the rustic cabin feel and... More

If you love camping and cabins you'll love this place. Our room was like a little cabin, rustic, clean and comfortable with a deck and a view of the lake. The lodge and diningroom are rustic with a bit of elegance and the food is great and reasonably priced. You can fish, swim, kayak, boat, hike, explore or just sit... More

A hour's drive from South Lake Tahoe, this gem of a wilderness cabin hotel has everything going for it. Scenery, wildlife, and laidback and simple cottage accomodations scattered throughout the property overlooking the lake. We had lunch after exploring the property and Chef Tom does a tremendous job. We had a wonderful Spanish influenced Chicken and Vegetable soup and a... More

We hosted a wedding rehearsal dinner for 32 on the deck of the lodge. The entire dinner went smoothly. The staff was prepared when we arrived, the tables were set appropriately for the occasion and the guests were very pleased to the person attending. My dinner was the stuffed tomato and it was over the top fantastic. The dessert tray... More

No pretentious, which suits this lake perfectly. We stayed for five nights. We rented kayaks one day, went on several day hikes, fished from the shore, and swam... More

It is a short walk to the adjacent campground so it is very convenient if some are at the lodge and some at the campground. Silver Lake is a wonderful place. It is... More

I've been vacationing at Kit Carson Lodge for nearly thirty years. I keep coming back for the ambiance of the old Sierra/Tahoe resorts, now long gone. If you want the modern resort hotel experience, go to South Shore. If you like 'old-school' and want to step back in time in comfort and in stunningly beautiful surroundings, you will not find... More
