Lakeside lodging inTahoe

Looking for suggestions for lakeside lodging @ Lake Tahoe in late September. Since this is our first trip there, we don't know which area to look at. We will be hiking during the day and would love to be able to sit on a balcony & have a drink & relax in the evening. Don't require 5-star, but do like clean & quiet.

If you want to be very close to the hiking access to Desolation Valley, you might try rustic Camp Richardson:

They have cabins and motel units. I think only the "marina duplex" units are right on the lake, but others are close, and the restaurant/bar is on the water.

For a lakefront balcony, try Sunnyside Lodge, farther up the lake:

These are definitely 5star, but rather traditional Tahoe places, away from all the gambling glitz and nightlife.

Ooops- I meant definitely "not" 5-star.

But we have stayed at Camp Richardson in late September, and it was very quiet and pleasant. It is right next to a state park that preserves some of the old family estates. You can walk the grounds, and along the lake, in the evening and have it all to yourself.

Where do you plan to hike?

I think you should consider anywhere from Incline Village around to the west side of the lake. That is by far the prettiest area. Sunnyside is in the area. There are lots of places to stay. I haven't stayed over night up there in many years (I live in Reno) so I can't come up with a name for you. You might google the Visitors Bureau and also triple A for a start. Late September should be lovely up there. Warm days and cool evenings, summer crowds mostly gone.

Nora S & crefloors - Thanks for the help. I'll begin looking at Incline Village and around to the west. Not sure about hikes yet - Any suggestions? We don't want anything considered "strenuous" but moderate is OK. I love waterfall hikes and anything that has wonderful views is always worth the effort.

Here are a couple of waterfall hikes, from the South Lake Tahoe hiking page:

Susie Lake Trail
8 Miles Roundtrip-Moderate.
This scenic trail in desolation Wilderness passes by creeks and waterfalls. Continue another mile past Susie Lake to reach Heather Lake, and another 2 miles to reach Lake Aloha. A wilderness permit is required for this hike. From the South Lake Tahoe Y drive north 3 miles on Hwy 89 and turn left on Fallen Leaf Lake Road. Pass the Fallen Leaf Lodge and and continue down the Forest Service Road. Follow the signs toward Lily Lake to the Glen Alpine Trailhead. Park and begin hiking on the gravel road, following the signs to Susie Lake.

Horsetail Falls, one of the most breathtaking waterfalls in Lake Tahoe. A wilderness permit is required for this hike. From the South Lake Tahoe Y, drive 13.5 miles south on Hwy 50 and turn right at Camp Sacramento. Drive down this dirt road and park at the church. The Ralston Peak trailhead is on the left side of the road.

I am not a hiker, but there are trails around Emerald Bay for example. Very beautiful area.

We stayed here last summer and they have condos right on the lake. Very comfortable setting. I would definately return...
