The Spotlight on Gondola Lodge

Cozy Vibes Just Steps from Heavenly Village

Modern mountain charm meets laid-back comfort at Gondola Lodge, a South Lake Tahoe favorite located just a short walk from the heart of the action. With its rustic-luxe rooms featuring fireplaces and jetted bathtubs, this lodge is perfect for winding down after a night of live music or casino hopping. You'll be just 1575 feet from Heavenly Village and less than a mile from Tahoe Queen.

Whether you're here for a ski trip or a summer concert series, Gondola Lodge offers a welcoming space with free WiFi and easy access to local attractions.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just minutes from South Lake Tahoe’s best venues and casinos, Gondola Lodge is ideal for fans who want to stay close to the music—but still enjoy a quiet night’s rest. With check-in at 4:00 PM and a peaceful atmosphere, it’s a solid base whether you’re catching a sunset set at the lake or a late-night set at the casino. The lodge’s close proximity to Heavenly Village means you can walk to dining, entertainment, and transport options without needing a car.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want a cozy place to crash after a night out
  • Solo travelers seeing a favorite artist at nearby venues
  • Couples looking for a romantic weekend with music and mountain views
  • Fans needing recovery space—fireplaces and jetted tubs are perfect for that
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want location and comfort

Food and Drink Options

While the lodge doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, you’ll be within easy walking distance of plenty of eateries in Heavenly Village. From grab-and-go tacos to sit-down bistros, there’s something for every post-show craving. Late-night dining is readily available nearby, and many spots serve breakfast late—ideal for sleeping in after a long night.

Nightlife Options

  • Head to nearby Heavenly Village for live music, lounges, and lively bars
  • Casinos just a 3-minute drive away offer entertainment well into the night
  • Prefer to keep it chill? Many guests love unwinding fireside in their suite with a local drink

What People Say

  • “The fireplace and jetted tub were perfect after a big night out”
  • “Unbeatable location—everything was walkable”
  • “Quiet, clean, and cozy—exactly what I needed post-show”
  • “Staff were friendly and helpful with local tips”

Areas for Improvement

The 8:00 AM check-out time is a bit early for those who’ve been up late enjoying the Tahoe nightlife—set an alarm if you’re not an early riser! Also, while there’s no on-site restaurant, the nearby options more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

Gondola Lodge is a charming, well-located retreat that’s perfect for concert-goers looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury post-show.

Would not rent again.

Liked: The location was OK. The online staff support was good. The on-site staff support was great, but from there it went downhill. The facility was extremely poor conditions. The room was poorly maintained with a long list of complaints. Almost everything is outdated wine refrigerator doesn’t work and almost fell out of the cabinetry. The kitchen faucet is loose and very poorly installed stains on the wall and In many places, gross mold was in a coffee cup my wife pulled out to use, the second bedroom is not a bedroom. It’s more like a crappy workout area with a fold out bed and should not be sold as a respectable bedroom Only one or two gas burners on the stove work, the bathtub is unacceptable with gross stains all over, pool and spa is unacceptable conditions with dead rats in the service skimmers.

Hygiene issue

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Unfortunately, we had to leave the hotel at 11 PM. At first, we were delighted to learn that our room had been upgraded — the fireplace, seating area, and spacious layout were all wonderful. However, when we got into bed, we noticed that the sheets were covered with long hair. We had seen some in the bathroom earlier, but we didn’t make much of it at the time.They sent up new sheets, but that’s when we experienced the real shock — those were also covered with long hair. Although they offered us a complimentary stay, we chose to receive a refund and left the hotel late at night. There is clearly a serious hygiene issue.

Very romantic, relaxing, and peaceful.

Liked: The location was the best part, my boyfriend and I were able to walk everywhere (only 2 blocks) - to the Heavenly village and the beach - and walk back to the room whenever we needed a change of clothes or to relax. It was very romantic and I highly recommend to couples as well as families.
Disliked: We accidentally got locked out of our bathroom in the morning because the lock ended up being turned without our knowledge by cleaning staff, but the on site help was so fast and easy - thank you John - and we never ran into that issue again! Other than that we had no issues at all and a lovely stay.
