I will be in Lake Tahoe the first weekend in August. Can anyone recommend a hotel in the North Lake area? I'm trying to keep my expenses down, would prefer a place under $100 but would spend a little more if I have to.

I have found that spending a little more on the room to get a kitchenette helps cut costs in the long run.We stayed at Red Wolf Lodge, but it is above $100.00.

The CalNeva Resort is nice.

Which part of the North Shore are you referring to? There are accomodations in Truckee,CA Incline, Nevada, and Crystal Bay, NV, where the casinos are.

Check out Lake Shore Lodge. Very nice rooms and LAKE FRONT with a nice little beach, pool and spa.

We stayed there in july 2001, after reading about it here.

Hi,we're going to Tahoe in a week. Will be at Ceasars $114.OO a nite.What a bargain yeah right. Go to the source on-line could have gotten a package for $76.00 a nite with ammenties. Sure some of the travel sites are great but always check the source. Also look up www.citysearch enter city,will tell you the best of.Good Luck & have fun....

I think Ceasers is on the North Shore.

Caesars is on South Shore near Harvey's and Harrahs. Do you want north near Incline or somewhere close to Tahoe City?

If you are interested in a condo with a kitchen, check out Brockway Springs resort. We haven't been there in a couple years, but we used to stay there every year.

Thanks for all your advice. I purposely want to stay on the north shore away from the casinos. I'll check out all of your recommendations.

You may want to check out North Star (a ski resort) 1-800-466-6784, open year round There is a hotel and condos, a pool, hiking trails, bicycling, golf, etc.. It is on Highway 267, between Truckee and Kings Beach. Truckee is nice little town with some great stores and good restaurants. The Lake itself is in Kings Beach, about three miles down the highway. There is also a Best Western almost across the street. It is a wonderful area and a lot quietier and less traffic than Tahoe City, which has a lot of traffic jams, in and out.

Kings Beach, a nice little town, has several motels, probably in your price range, some fairly good restaurants, Jason's and a huge 24 hour Safeway Market. I'm sorry but I don't know the hotel prices at North Star.

All of the above are on the California side of the Lake, no casinos. Enjoy yourself, the Lake is magnificant.
