Practical travelers will appreciate this charming lodge a few minutes from the South Lake Tahoe shore. PlayPark Lodge provides a comfortable place to rest between outdoor adventures. Each room features a mini-fridge, coffee maker, and microwave, as well as streaming Roku channels. Bring Fido along for an extra fee, and request a snack basket to tide you over until your next meal next door at Lake Tahoe Pizza Company, or nearby at The Lake House or Ernie’s Coffee Shop.
