My stay at Fireside Lodge in South Lake Tahoe was lovely. The warm hospitality of the staff really stood out, and the cabin felt like a cozy home away from home. I loved the convenient location near Emerald Bay for hiking, though I had to deal with a few mosquitoes in the evening. Overall, it's a gem I can't wait to revisit.

I had a great time staying at Fireside Lodge, mainly due to the welcoming hosts and the cozy atmosphere. The breakfast was delicious, featuring plenty of carbs (I did bring my own options to supplement). However, the rooms felt a bit small, especially when traveling with pets. Overall, the lodge was full of amenities and warmth that made my stay nice.
