We stayed for 2 nights in September. Rustic but charming. We also did a Living Social package and they treated us like royalty. We will be back. Be sure to try the oatmeal for breakfast, the Chef, Tom is outstanding. From breakfast to dinner we were never disappointed. We will be back!

we visited Kit Carson Lodge as part of a Living Social package and we were not disappointed. 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

Rustic throw back to a less frenzied time... This lodge is off the grid so there is limited power - no TV or radios in the room. Blow dryers and irons only up at the lodge. No cell phone reception - you may see the last operational public phone booth here! Lodge staff will take messages and post them on... More

The setting doesn't get any better. Crystal blue alpine lake, granite outcroppings, a resident bald eagle dancing in the sky, and blue skies and piercing stars. We loved our little rustic cabin. 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

Our family has been coming to Silver Lake for over 40 years, mostly camping, but the last 7 years the older generation has used Kit Carson Lodge. 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...
