About the neighborhood

In the mountains, Bluelake Inn at Tahoe is in Lakeside Park, a walkable area in South Lake Tahoe with great shopping. Heavenly Gondola and Lakeside Marina are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Lakeside Beach and Van Sickle Bi-State Park. The Shops at Heavenly Village and Casino at Harrah's Lake Tahoe are two other places to visit that come recommended. Take in the nearby slopes with cross-country skiing and downhill skiing, or check out other outdoor activities such as snow tubing and sledding. Visit our South Lake Tahoe travel guide

Ideal location for a visit to South Lake Tahoe without spending a fortune. Keep in mind that it's a motel so don't expect luxurious accommodations, but was clean and they had free parking. The two people at the front desk (perhaps the owners) were really nice. thanks
