any recommendations for inexpensive lodging for 4 for total $100/day? we're going this month, not skiers, just enjoy the view, no car. thanks for your help.

On the San Francisco Craigslist board, under vacation rentals, there's always a bunch of Lake Tahoe rentals. You should be able to find something there.

There's also a ton of old-fashioned motels. How are you getting there?

Try Three Peaks Resort. You can usually get a good deal. It's right on Park which is very close to Heavenly Village with the scenic gondola, dining and shopping. You will be very near a great grocery store (Raleys)that also has hot food as well as a full deli and bakery. You'd be able to walk to all thes places unless you are unable to typically walk very far.

A junior king suite with a king bed in one room and a pull out couch in the other is around $90.

thanks so much! im checking out your links. were getting there by bus and amtrak. appreciate all your help. blessings.

So you need something within walking distance from Amtrak stop, or you will be using local buses? I think they are called Blue Go.

You can check Expedia, if you click on the hotel map you will see where they are and how much - but this will be for 2 people. It will be more on the next screen for 4.

Dayenu is correct. You can use Blue Go to shuttle around. Three peaks a short walk down Park Ave from the main road - unless it's really stormin' - then the walk won't seem so short.
