We reserved the 2 room 2 bathroom suite, had the option of turning the Futon into a Queen size bed as well, although we didn’t need it but is definitely a great option! The resort has a wonderful view of the lake and from where the suite is located it’s maybe a 20-25 feet walk to the access/view of the lake. Unfortunately we only stayed one night BUT it was definitely worth it! The rooms were perfectly clean, it provided shampoo, conditioner and body soap in the bathrooms, if needed. Extra towels if needed. And the kitchen was perfect to store food and cook for breakfast. The room also provided basic cooking utensils, which is amazing! I fell in love with the morning view! And the suite has a private porch with outside seating to enjoy that morning coffee or to stargaze. I’m hoping we can return to this adorable and beautifully located lodge!

We loved our stay at Red Wolf Lakeside Lodge! Before the trip, I received a text confirmation and was able to ask questions about the stay that way. Kailee and Kelly answered all my questions quickly and completely. They were very friendly, helpful, and personable and made me feel good about my lodging choice. They made me feel confident that my family and our trip were in good hands. The room itself was very clean and had everything we needed. The bed was also very comfy! My sons slept on the foldout couch, and they said they found it surprisingly comfortable. My only complaints were that the bathroom fan was really, really noisy - but it got the job done well - and the blinds were very thin, so sleeping past sunrise was difficult. Also, the door to the detergent dispenser in the dishwasher was broken, so we weren't able to use it. Otherwise, we enjoyed ourselves greatly and would definitely recommend this place!

We cannot recommend this place enough. The photos on the website do not do it justice. If you’re unsure whether you should book, just do it. We had the most amazing two nights stay. The rooms were quirky, but so well equipped and spotless, and the private beach had crystal clear water for the most amazing swims.

We stayed at Red Wolf Lodge from Monday to Thursday and had an amazing time! The value was great for everything it offered. The front desk staff was super communicative—sending texts about daily family activities right when we checked in, which really helped us make the most of our stay. The lodge has a rustic, charming vibe with warm wood interiors that made it feel cozy and welcoming. Our favorite part? The private beach and cove! The shallow waters were perfect for our kids to swim safely, and they had a blast catching crawfish off the dock (with hot dogs on sticks—so fun!). Other big wins: • Pool with a lake and mountain view 🌄 • Tons of BBQ pits so we could cook meals while watching the sunset 🌅 • Free kayak rentals and laundry (we were pleasantly surprised!) • Daily family activities like s’mores, root beer floats, and crafts • Friendly, helpful staff everywhere we went There were a couple small hiccups—our jet tub acted up, and the fire pit by the pool only worked the first night—but neither took away from the experience. We met some long-time guests who’ve been coming for decades, which really says something about the place. All in all, this is a true 5-star spot for families. We’re already looking forward to coming back for a longer stay!

We reserved a room fairly last minute after reading the reviews for another hotel that we had originally booked then canceled and I could not be happier that we came here. The rooms were so cozy and the bed was probably the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept on. It has a great location and tons of awesome amenities- ours being the private dock! We enjoyed waking up to watching the sunrise on the lake and highly recommend taking advantage of that!! Also rooms had free coffee, hot coco, and a bag of popcorn which made us feel even more at home. 10/10

Always a great experience here. Pool, 2 hot tubs. Lakeside views with beach and pier. Everything is clean, and the units have full kitchens. Love this place so much.

Stayed here with some friends and drove up with them for a quick break. The lodge is located right on the lake but with limited access during the winter. The rooms were clean, comfortable, quiet and functional. Nothing too fancy but if you want to spend some time at the Tahoe North Shore this is highly recommended.

Red Wolf Lakeside Lodge is an incredible escape in Kings Beach! The lakefront views are breathtaking, the rooms are cozy and well-equipped, and the atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming. The staff is outstanding—always friendly, attentive, and ready to make your stay special. Whether you’re relaxing by the firepit, or exploring Tahoe’s beauty, this resort offers the perfect balance of comfort and adventure. Highly recommend for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

We have been going to this lodge since the 80s. Back then for many years it was family owned. By different families, all amazing. A corporation took it over and did a lot of updates and upgrades making the property even better than it was before. There are two differences between now and then. Major ones in my opinion. The first is customer service! Let me be clear that the staff that we interacted with... Kaylee, Trini and Mary were top notch. They were kind, accommodating, super friendly and welcomed us everyday with a smile. The general manager, Erin, who claims to have been here for the last 15 years is nothing but a corporate robot. She was not friendly, inviting or a person I would want to do business with again. The other huge topic there was the parking. This has never been an issue in the past. If you are in a bigger unit and require more than one car or have another party with you, you are instructed to park either On the busy highway or in the Safeway parking lot which I'm sure is not legal overnight. To top that off, there is one handicap spot in the entire Lodge. This is not only against State codes but Erin proceeded to tell me that she is aware they are short-handicap spots but there is nothing they can do and will continue to pay the fine. My dad has MS and has a handicap placard and there were several other guests that required wheelchair assistance but again nowhere for them to park. Maybe across the street in the Safeway parking lot. We were there during the off-season and there were plenty of open parking spots. Although these parking spots were not utilized if we put an additional car there, it was so severely tagged taped and plastered all over the windshield. Followed by 100 text messages that went out to the entire Lodge about parking. My suggestion would be if there are any open spots, maybe posting in the office daily the open spots so that other guests that are paying can park their car on the property instead of on public property across the street. The final recommendation was the overwhelming amount of text messages that were sent throughout our week Stay was absolutely ridiculous. Anything more than one text a day to keep the guests updated on the activities they were having is completely unnecessary! This Lodge is more on the expensive side so to have this kind of treatment during our vacation was a little much and I really feel sorry for the timeshare guests that have to deal with this all year long for the amount of money they pay to stay there. Again the property was beautiful and other than having to deal with the parking and Erin I would definitely recommend! Unfortunately I don't see this changing anytime soon!

My husband and I booked a week at this resort and were pleasantly surprised how much we have been enjoying our stay. We could only get an efficiency and we were worried it would be too small for us. It is small, but they have definitely furnished the space wisely so we don't feel cramped. Also, it is a full kitchen and it is well stocked. The grounds are well maintained and they have plenty of seating around the property as well as lounges and chairs on the beach. They have two fire pits and lots of tables and chairs near the beach. It is right on the lake and they also have kayaks you can use. I highly recommend staying at this resort!

This was our first visit for two nights. We loved absolutely every bit of this property except for one thing, the bed. If the bed wasn't a pull down style, they might have offered a firmer mattress. My body couldn't get comfy on a sinking mattress and trying to sleep for two nights on this type of mattress really affected our physical comfort. The next time we stay there, I will ask for a room with a normal bed, if that's offered. As for all the good stuff, this was the most peaceful stay of the many vacations I have taken. To be able to enjoy a quiet morning and evening on the lake, breathing the fresh mountain air and taking in the views brought me so much happiness and peace. In two days, my soul felt nourished. My back was sore, but I guess I can't always get what I want. We loved the well stocked kitchen and well stocked bathroom. Everything was at our finger tips and we didn't have to ask for more supplies. Having Safeway so close by motivated us to cook more. The staff was friendly too. We can't wait to go back.

Been staying in North Lake Tahoe at the Red Wolf Lakeside Lodge forever. It's a beautiful place located on the North shore of the lake. Lakefront, beautiful rooms, great clear pool and amazing decks. Kayaks and a awesome dock. The front office staff Erin and Kelly as well as the rest of the staff , Trini and Juan care a great deal about the resort. Even despite COVID, the staff managed to make this amazing place feel like home. Great views and home away from home

I can not say enough great things about Erin, Kelly, the entire staff and the property. Redwolf is awesome! The first time I stayed here using a friends unit, I fell in love so much that I wound up buying a place here as well. So now I am an owner! The location of Redwolf is perfect. You are in Kings Beach and can walk to the middle of town in about 10 minutes. They have 1 and 2 bedroom units available. They allow 1 car per unit. There are about 27 units at the lodge. Each unit has a fully equipped kitchen if you want to cook. There is a dining table, a couch and a couple of chairs in the living room area. You really have everything you need. The 2 bedrooms have 2 bathrooms which is very nice if you have different couples sharing the unit. Closets and dressers are available for your clothes. There is a TV in each bedroom and in the living room The property has a hot tub, pool, beach, chairs on the beach and free kayaks that you can use. They also have BBQ's and picnic tables that you can use. Every employee is super nice and very helpful. The entire property is very clean and maintained. For a week's stay, they do a cleaning on Thursdays changing linens and towels. There is a Safeway across the street and many great restaurants in walking distance. Do not hesitate to book a room here!

Red Wolf Lodge is a super cute and comfy place to stay in Lake Tahoe. Kelly and Erin were very helpful and answered all our questions. We loved the activities and the location and private beach and pool were so awesome! Thank you for the wonderful time. We will definitely be back.

It's been a wonderful stay once again. Erin and Katie are the sweetest and most accommodating. The changes since the last visit show the TLC in continuing to wow their guests. They even brought back social activities. Communication is very transparent. They regularly text guests with important info. The only exception is the laundry hours are not visibly posted. Tonight I had the unfortunate case where now my laundry will sit overnight til 8a-9a. It was not enough to ruin my stay, but certainly left a bad taste on my last night. My plan was to leave by 6a for 8hr drive home the next day. When I went to pickup my laundry, I find the door no longer opened with card key. After trying another card key, I called the emergency #. They didn't know either and put me on hold. Then I was informed that laundry hours are til 10p; I missed by less than 10min. While I understand laundry isn't 24x7, why so early? More importantly I did not see any signs on the door or in the check-in papers to notify the guests. Maybe I wouldn't be as upset if I didn't have to wait til morning to pickup my laundry. Leaving on a positive note, the best part of the lodge is free use of the kayaks. It's awesome to paddle on the beautiful lake!

The Great Lake Tahoe experience. To be honest I didn't know what to expect and feel like their profile don't do it justice. When we arrived we was pleasantly surprised. It was a great stay with thoughtful touches. Example, a full kitchen, all the cookware, hot water kettle, natural wood coffee table, etc. each room seems to be made differently, my room had its own little deck patio. The best amenity they offer is the pool and private beach . If you are coming to Lake Tahoe for the lake the. This is the place to be. I was there during off season but I am hopeful that during the summer they have plenty of boat rentals. Overall a great stay.

Redwolf Lakeside Lodge is a small resort located at the end of SR 267/N Lake Blvd. The unit is well maintained and up to date with all the essential. What I love about the property: 1. You park right in front of your unit. 2. Jaccuzi bathtub, I like how the tub is deep so you can soak after a long day skiing. 3. Unit has a cabin feel with all the wood feature. 4. Lakeside property, only a few feet away from the beautiful lake. 5. 10 min drive to Northstar ski resort. We stayed in the 1 bed unit, bedroom had a full size bed and queen size pullout sofa in the living room. Kitchen had everything to cook a hot meal. The gas fireplace made it feel real cozy. No washer/dryer in the unit. Property does offer washer/dryer free of charge. We loved what Redwolf Lakeside Lodge has to offered and really enjoyed our stay. We would stayed here again.

No air conditioning. The time has past for Tahoe hotels to not have aircon. It's 8pm, 80 in my room. Windows open, fan on but had to close door due to mosquitoes. The studio room I sadly rented I had to tear apart couch to, set up Murphy bed, make up spare twin bed. Im hot, exhausted and wish I could go home to 103 degree Auburn. Ive owned at the sister Red Wolfe Squaw for 20 years and love it.

I just booked a stay through Travelocity and minutes after my booking I was made aware by Red Wolf that there is road construction at night that will impact our stay. They said they're giving out free ear plugs!!! I notified them within minutes of my reservation that I would like to cancel and now they're saying I need to cancel through Travelocity. Travelocity is saying Red Wolf will not cancel and will charge me per their policy. I literally JUST booked the reservation 30 minutes ago. This is outrageous, Red Wolf will not pick up their phone, Travelocity cannot reach them, nor can Update: received an email that the road construction has moved down the road. Will update after my stay. Still confused and annoyed about the disconnect between Red Wolf and Travelocity.

I booked an overnight stay for me and my son this weekend. He is not feeling well so tested him and he is positive for COVID. I called the front desk and they transferred me to the reservation company. The reservation person told me that unless I (the name on the reservation) test positive, they will not give me a refund. She flippantly said I could just LEAVE MY SON HOME since he is the one who is sick!! Obviously I escalated my complaint to a supervisor. When the supervisor called me she said I will have to drag my sick son out to a testing site to get an "official test" and submit it to them, or no refund. So I have two choices: 1. Drag my sick son out to a testing center to get my money back 2. Realize my son will likely be feeling better by our reservation date (but likely still COVID positive) and continue with our vacation plans and come enjoy our cabin since they are going to charge me for the cabin anyway. I explained this to the 'supervisor' and she just replied that rules are rules..

Very cozy and cute. Next to water. Can watch sunset. Hot tub is nice. Came in October so didn't swim in the pool. Water was calm in the morning to kayak.

A hotel with a good location but VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE from the so-called "Manager" Erin O'brien, I rented through Airbnb for two days to celebrate my birthday but unfortunate when I went to bed and obviously out of precaution so this happening in the world COVID-19 with more caution we checked the bed and there were hairs on the sheets, so I went to the lobby the next day with photos and there was the person with the worst attitude that I have seen Erin O'brien saying that those hairs were from the people who did the cleaning and my answer was serious? Is that what you are going to tell me? There were no apologies or any option like: we will change your sheets, I am sorry that we can do something to improve your stay. What does a person like her do as a manager? Don't you have a little love for what you do? it is definitely in the WRONG position. I was planning to go back with my kids at first sight, but after this experience I would never go back to this place.

Comfortable, clean, friendly environment, and a little private dock !!!!! Walking distance to King's beach and the many great restaurants near by! after trying out this lodge, I don't even see a need to get out of here. (Ps. Used to alwAys visit sand harbor beach and it has become parking space impossible.) This lodge has their very own private quite and clean little lakeshore, a pool, and other activities they offer. But have not stayed long enough to try them all yet. So far I'm very pleased with their interior cleanness. No built up ice in the freezer. No strange smell or stain in refrigerator. Etc Great place :)

I have never written anything like this about a hotel, but felt it necessary this time. I booked for myself, two kids and their grandmother. The email clearly states: the office is open till 6 pm, free rollaway beds available on request. So on the way here, I called, left a message, and expected assistance. It was not to be. I finally reached the General Manager at 10:30 pm, and was clearly told: the office is only open till 5, no rollaways available (they only have two, and anyway they would not help me at this hour). They also doubted that I had even called, despite my call logs and message left. I finally called hotels.com, who gave me a partial discount. Thanks for the gesture, it certainly helps, but we still ended up have two people sleep on the floor. It's a shame: the place is otherwise beautiful. UPDATE: The hotel called to give me a further discount. I feel bad: all I really needed to hear was that they were sorry this happened. It's a great location and the rooms are nice: it's just that they were totally unresponsive and unpleasant when I finally reached them. Updating to two stars.

Favorite thing about this lodge is the outdoor space. Working with a narrow lot. They were able to create a spacious pool and hot tub area, large deck with grills, beach area complete with hammock and free to use kayaks. Cute, well appointed, clean units with a fireplace. Free laundry. 3 minute drive to Safeway. Nearby restaurants. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.

Erin at the front desk is absolutely the most rude person I have ever w countered at a hotel!! She is ruining everything at this location. Please get rid of her. She is not meant to be in the customer service industry!!! We will not be back because of her!! The rooms need updating as well.

So I've been in mid July 2014to 2019. Covid so missed 2020. This is resort with actual lake access. Within a few steps. Also has pool. And hot tub. Before walk another 25 seconds to Lake. Has kayak and other equipment to use. But reason I return is best bbq day once a week. Trini's guacamole is best I've ever had. Used to have ice cream social, pottery painting, mosaics ( functional coat hangers, etc). Not sure if still can do this year Ask if any activities happening week you book. Totally me, please be fully vaxed if you want to share this fabulous place. I want to be mostly safe after a year. If you are anti vax then maybe you need to stay away from rest of us until you feel 2 million vaxed are enough proof vax is safe. No bill gates chips, just polio, measles, et al you got. They weren't as deadly as COVID. just totally suckey.

Stayed here for a few days in the summer and... it... .. was... ... amazing. This place getting under 4 stars is ridiculous. Beautiful, wooden, rustic feel in these spacious resort cabins. All the amenities including cable, full kitchens, big comfy beds, porches, living rooms, etc! The gf & I were blown away. The best part: A pool with a deck that meets at the beach & dock (which in this area you'll find many kinds of boats available to take out onto the water)... so you're literally right on Lake Tahoe. THE VIEW!!! THE VIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything was awesome about our stay. Pretty friendly service, too. We'd love to stay again! :) P.S. If I had think of a complaint it'd be that they don't allow dogs.

The people at Red Wolf themselves are great. However, they use a 3rd party booking service called ResorTime which I have found to be the worst company with which to do business. As others have said on Google Reviews, I strongly recommend to do not work with this ResorTime or book with any hotel that uses them. Through a mistake of Expedia, the wrong date was booked. Expedia reached out to ResorTime to process a refund, but even though this request was done within minutes of the booking, ResorTime refused to process the refund. Run away from this company with all speed.

It was a last minute weekend trip to celebrate a birthday and it exceeded all our expectations! Erin, Katie and Kelly made this such a special and unforgettable trip. We can't wait to return. The 2bedroom/2bathroom was very well maintained, super clean, great shower and super comfy. The outdoor area and access/view to/of the lake is spectacular. The calm private beach, dock, swimming pool, BBQ, and sitting area in front of the lake are "Wow"!!! My 3 year old had a blast playing by the lake, in the heated swimming pool and enjoying the snow at Squaw Valley. Be aware that each apartment only has 1 parking spot and there is no parking area nearby. They may be able to accommodate a second car but it is not guaranteed. We can't wait to return.

The place is fine; the only thing I was disappointed in was the location. I know there's not much that can be done by the lodge about that, but it's right off the main road through town and we can hear every vehicle that drives by. If you're a light sleeper, this isn't the place for you unless you're one of the lucky ones who gets a room towards the lakeside of the property. The rooms inside are cozy and nicely appointed. It has a kind of rustic log cabin feel once you get inside, but from the outside it's fairly ordinary. The pictures on the website show the newest building on the property. Nothing else looks like the pictures, so be forewarned before you get here that it looks very different than what they want you to think. They have stocked the rooms with TV's and VHS/DVD players and loaded the kitchen with all you'll need to make simple meals. All the appliances and cookware are bottom of the line, so you need to make sure you watch over what you're cooking, otherwise you'll burn it very easily. The lodge is right in the heart of King's Beach and Tahoe Vista, so everything you want to find is easily accessible. There is a Safeway a couple blocks away that is also a pharmacy, so you can buy all your food and supplies when you get here rather than lugging a car load of groceries. We brought some food with us, but if I would have known the grocery store was so close I wouldn't have brought anything. Bottom line is that this is a average place. Nothing about it stands out above the many other choices you might have. My guess is that it will all come down to price and what deal or special you're able to find.

I am late writing this review but better late than never. My husband and we have been going to Redwolf Lakeside Lodge since 2001 and love it. The units have a gas fireplace. It is so nice to watch the flames of the gas fire on a cold winter night. I love going in to the heated jacuzzi when the snow in on the ground with a hot coco or tea and watching the waves on Lake Tahoe. It is beautiful. We have chosen to go in the winter this year. Our trip last year was in September 2016. It was perfect weather and the lake glimmered with ripples of shimmering sun beams. The staff are AWESOME! The cabins and grounds are pristine. Be ware of Bears! Do not leave any food in your vehicles!

My Wife and I came stayed at RedWolf Sunday to Saturday. It was the best vacation to this day. We went early October 2017. Weather was perfect. Resort is very beautiful and located about a mile away from closest town. Views were Amazing and room decorations were on point. Management and team made our stay very comfortable and they were happy to help with all questions. They lended is fishing rods, kayaks and board games. Everyone there was very friendly. We are definitely going to be back again. We stayed in a studio. The room was very spacious and the kitchen was fully equipped. DVD player worked fine and electric fireplace was perfect.

At first this place just simply shocked me because the pictures do not depict the reality, but I need to give it three stars because it worked, yet I must admit that the front desk lady (blond hair) was the most unfriendly and unpleasant person I have ever met at the reception desk while traveling. We booked a studio unit here last year and thought it was just enough. However, having another studio unit in another resort and being disappointed how small they can get, I decided to call here and request an upgrade to one bedroom unit. Unfortunately they didn't have anything available.We arrived and learned that the resort was primarily consisted of two rows of cabins located right off the main road which was nothing like on the promo pictures that were showing the adjacent and the only other lake front building. The pool wasn't heated and it was dirty, but the Jacuzzi was working and the views are gorgeous. So you can go to the pool area with a glass of wine, sit down, chill and watch the world pass by. We found the studio being badly furnished and organized and we had to rearrange as much as possible to make it functional. The studio has a murphy bed (surprisingly comfy) two arm chairs, very small chester drawer and no storage or place to put your winter clothes and gear. It has a rustic and a bit dated feel, but it is clean and has all you need in the kitchen and the bathroom. I don't like the cleaners to come to my room and had no idea that they had midweek cleaning. Unfortunately, there is no "do not disturb" sign in the room that you could leave on the front door. Yes, the cleaners surprised me with a clean room upon my return from the slopes There is pretty much very little in the walking distance. Safeway, one Italian restaurant and few "joints" at the Kings Beach (less than a mile) where you can grab a bite. However if you are skiing at NorthStar it is right next to the primary road that takes you to North Star which makes the location quite convenient. Generally, it is clean and an OK place. I am giving it three stars because it was clean, convenient, warm, it wasn't loud (even though it was next to the main road) and it was good value as I paid only $550 for 7 nights using RCI. You don't get many rooms with full kitchen for $80 a night. Warning....upon arrival I was not informed that they charge $10 per day a "resort fee"...I was surprised with this fee upon checking out. What is it for? Internet and parking....ridicules.

We stayed here during our honeymoon week. We requested a 1 bed room, were issued a bedroom with a "murphy" bed. the unit was tiny, once you put down the bed there was no space to go around to use the restroom, you basically had to move all the furniture (two chairs and a table) to the side to brind down the bed. The unit was right next to the office, at 7 in the morning the maid decided to clean the wall opposite of our room which woke us up, because the room was next to the office our room was closes to the road, so there was constant nonstop noise from cars and trucks, overall it was not relaxing at all. the pool was average and the beach access was a hike down a sandy path. the shutters were wooden which let a lot of light, we were awake very early. There was a side window right next to a pole where people lock their bicycles which meant we had to shut it all the time because there were people really close to the window at all times, it was very creepy. because the room was uncomfortable and extremely noisy I went to the front desk to see if there were other units available, unfortunately I was greeted by the general manager (Erin) who was extremely rude, she said that because I wasn't an owner I couldn't get a better room and I wouldn't be accommodated in any way. We ended up leaving after two days (we still had 4 days left that were prepaid) I did eventually call corporate and was issued an apology, they also offered a certificate that I haven't been able to use because no one will call me back, (I have left two voicemails and sent at least five emails. Overall this was trip from hell, I have never been exposed to such rudeness and a company that simply doesn't care for their patrons at all.

We were able to exchange our regular timeshare for this place. The weather was crazy (still snowing at Memorial Day) but this place is really nice. We own a 2 bedroom/2 bath and were able to exchange for the same. We had an end unit overlooking the lake and pool. The unit was spacious and clean. Bathrooms were good size. Lots of hooks and rods to hang towels and jackets which is great. Living room also has storage for the kid sleeping on the pullout. Kitchen was well equipped. We easily walked to Safeway. If the weather had been better, we could have walked around all of Kings Beach. It's a real bummer the weather wasn't better as the location is right on the lake and they have free kayaks to use. We will be back - hopefully when the weather is better and we can take advantage of all the amenities. Our only negative is that our 18 year old said the pullout mattress was horrible. Could use an upgrade!

Like most people I wanted to get a way from the routine and work to spend some quality time with my family and friends, place is nice we really enjoyed it. Management was really awful a lady named Erin have no idea what costumer service is all about she don't realized that people go there to get away from everyday life and business and the last thing a costumer would like to meet is a mean lady like her, she is not nice let alone helpful I mean we as costumer staying a week there were afraid of going to the office to see that lady. Hope she'll learn a thing or two on costumer service or she'll find herself with no clients.

Erin and Kelly were so kind and accessible to us, and had some great pancakes and sausage she made for us. Super helpful on vip discounts for activities like snowmobiling and snowboarding. Great on site activities like smores by the fire pit/bbq and hot tot ties drinks/non alcohol for the kids of course. Movie rentals and state of the art flat screens and wifi so you can plug in and bliss out. Great place to stay with tub jacuzzi and fire place and full kitchen and all the dishes, blender, coffee maker whatever you need it was already in there baby. Sweet parking right in front so easy load in and out. Pool by the lake. This is it, no need to stay anywhere else anymore. I am home away from home. Great for kids, quiet and peaceful, and respectful. There were NO loud parties and super friendly neighbors.

My husband and I stayed here Saturday night 02/01/14 and loved it! We went snowboarding at North Star and checked in around 5:00pm. We stayed in room 18 and really liked our room. There was plenty of space for us, our suit case and snowboarding equipment. Our room had a double bed, small table, gas fire place, cute kitchenette complete with ref, dish washer, coffee maker, garbage disposal and snacks in a little basket (the chocolate was yummy). We will definitely be staying here again because we have season passes. Our room wasn't that far from the hot tub but if you want to be closer I suggest putting in that request when making the reservation. My only complaint is that this isn't a pet friendly hotel but the puppy towel art did make me smile :)

The Redwolf Lodge was a great vacation spot for my family and I. Each day we were at the pool side and enjoying the wonderful ambiance that the lodge had to offer. Each day there were special activities for the guests to participate in. The one thing I thought was a little lame was that the outdoor fireplaces were not functional for the guests at their convenience. It was limited to "Smores hour" that the management held at one specic time. Overall the place was accomodating and took care of our vacation stay needs. Cheers, O

File under first world problems, turns out that when you're in the hospitality industry, it means, like in Love Story, that you never have to say your sorry, at least, if you're the manager of the Red Wolf Lodge in Kingsbeach. Although, having stayed here 4 times in the last year, we failed to notice that the curious lack of charm displayed by management during our last/final stay, was a feature, not a bug. This Xmas we booked a "studio" at our erstwhile, favorite Lodge, we paid $300/night, for the two nights we were to stay, a lot, a lot. And discovered that our quaint little studio had NO bed, try as we might, be could find only a well appointed little suite, sans bed, "what IS that you say?" how could this be possible, given that, besides an "en suite" bathroom, when you book a hotel room, you will, get, concomitantly, a bed. Yes, of course, I started to look for the telltale signs of a murphy bed, and was rewarded quickly and disappointingly , producing a boxspring-less muddle of a twin bed. Apparently, we failed to notice that there was a murphy bed in the last "studio" we rented, as it was already in place, i.e. large enough to be in the down position. This was a smaller suite and anyway, who wouldn't want to be welcomed by a hotel room without a bed. Erin, the manager took great pains to explain in the cold hard logic of "greedy pinhead" that of course, a studio means a murphy bed, that a murphy bed is needed given that an almost full size kitchen, strangely, is also included. We're talking about a kitchen that could easily be in a three bedroom house that only can hold two somewhat small people in the twin murphy bed. Why not have, I don't know, a real bed in your outrageously expensive hotel room. The bottom line with Erin is that it was clearly our fault that we hadn't read the fineprint, that nothing would be done to accommodate our concerns and that we should be ashamed to even think such thoughts. On top of this, the internet is 10 year old motel 6 slow. Did I mention the nightly rate? And the lack of any interest, in the slightest, to address our deep disappointment at the crap bed and the cost. Erin, did call us to let us know that she wasn't, in the slightest, apologetic for our deep disappointment and what we perceived as poor treatment. Erin didn't care that we were frequent guests and only wanted to sing the praises of the Red Wolf Lodge. This will be our last stay here. If you do want to stay here, make sure you are okay with a murphy bed or that you get a room that has a regular bed. They have two very nice hot tubs and a lakeside pool, very well located, well outfitted, insanely expensive for what we experienced, crap attitude, crap internet.

Erin, the GM, and her staff are exceptional. Each year, I look forward to seeing her and the careful care and attention to detail she operates with is outstanding. I worked in the hotel/hospitality business for years and she is exactly what I wanted all of my staff to be like. Thank you Erin for being such a great asset to our yearly vacation.

We found this place on an app & LOVED it. Super cute interior. Custom woodwork made in Oregon and there are two hot tubs, one on the lake pretty much! The pier is lit up at night and very romantic on a clear start night :) also a great view with your morning coffee- or hot choc, since they offer that too in the rooms! I'm staying here again. Loved it.

Great place to stay! I could not have asked for more! Lake access in your backyard, a full kitchen with everything you will need, a fireplace, free sled or snowshoe rental during the winter all and more at an affordable price! This place definitely will give you that "at home" comfort. Staff was friendly and helpful! Near plenty of ski resorts to choose from! I will definitely be coming back to RedWolf Lakeside Lodge!

Iona and I spent a couple of weeks here earlier this month. Terrible fall weather while we were here like 81 the first week and mid 70s the second. I really like the location has a great beach on the lake with Free to use Kayaks. The first week we were in unit 3, a 1 bedroom handicap unit. Really a big unit, we did not ask for a handicap unit but we were assigned it anyway. The place needs some up dating as the bed was pretty lumpy and couch the same, think they were put in about 12 years ago when they converted the place. We had trouble with the oven as you could not open it but they changed it out from another room and all was good there. On the first cleaning day my wife's dress went missing with her bra. They were hanging on the towel hooks in the Bathroom. I asked the cleaning staff if maybe they got put in the wash by accident and they said no and were never found. Un fortunately she needed both for an event we were going to so we had to go to Carson City for replacements. Not putting the blame on any person here but sure is strange that in the 2 weeks the clothes never showed up. The next week we were in unit 25, Their best unit that they have. It is upstairs and over looks the pool and lake. But it had the same problem of lumpy mattress and worn out couch. We did not have a problem with items disappearing as we did not let the cleaning people in. I loved the location of the timeshare but with all the beds worn out and only queen size don't think we will be going back again. As well as items disappearing. The staff up front Sue and Eryn were really friendly and quite helpful. It was a real bonus that they have the Kayaks there for use as we did not bring ours. The lake is down about 12 feet (that does not sound like much as Lake mead is down about 130") which puts waters edge well beyond the dock/pier but hey California is in a drought. The place did have a nice selection of kitchen ware so that was good. The other thing is that parking is tight. Glad we brought our small car and not the F350 as it would have been hard to park here. I suggest if you do go watch your personal items, Bring a mattress pad and request a room down in the newer building by the lake. The BBQ's are nice and the pool spa area is wonderful. There are only 4 rooms that have a view and they are in the newer building. The older units look out at your parked car in the front and a fence of the buildings next door in the back. But a short walk down to the lake takes care of this

Only stayed a night early on cross-country move, but is a pretty cozy, comfortable spot. Probably great during peak season(s) -- nice pool and hot tub area right on the lake. Room was a nicely laid-out studio. Very well-insulated, it seems -- actually got very stuffy on a cool night in mid-May, which didn't make for a good night's sleep. But didn't ruin the place for me.

I stayed here in May for my first visit to Tahoe. While I fell in love in Tahoe the same could not be said for this lodge. For two people the studio is overall roomy except when the murphy bed is actually out then there is no room between the tv and bed. The stand to support the bed stuck out quiet a bit, my friend got a pretty nasty gash. The main reason why I'm rating so low is because of the staff. Dont get me wrong, we dealed with a lot of concierge and they were all courteous. But every person gave us different information! One told us trash pick up was provided on cleaning days another pointed me to the dumpster. One gave us a list for horseback riding, but only until we were hopelessly lost in the car did another one tell us the list we had was old. It was very frustrating that the staff as a whole couldn't just all get caught up on info they were giving to their guests. We asked for robes for the jacuzzi and they both smelled so smoky! We had to go back twice before we got ones that smelt clean! Gross! I will say that the grounds for this lodge are beautiful. The pool and jacuzzi are really nice. Loved that the gated pool area was glass so there is a perfect view of the lake. Lots of pool chairs and tables even when it was a little crowded. The jacuzzi by the office, maybe since we went late at night, was dirty inside the cuzzi and in the gated area. This place overall has a cute and quaint appeal but be cautious of info given by the front desk. I wish I would have double checked with all five employees before blindly following bad information, it would have saved us a lot of time, frustration and gas.

I would say to only stay here if you get a room closest to the lake. The buildings are perpendicular to the shore, so very few suites have lake views. If you're like us and book on hotels.com, you will probably get the shaft and be in unit 27-closest to the road and above the office. Other than that, I'm gonna highlight things that I would like to have read in a review- 1) the kitchen doesn't include cereal/soup bowls 2) the heater in the bedroom won't turn off (or we can't figure out how to turn it off) 3) there is a gas fireplace which is nice and cozy 4) the space is tight. We are in a one bedroom which has a pull out sofa in the living room and queen bed in the bedroom. If you saw this online and decided to stay here with 3 other adults, you probably wouldn't want to spend much time inside 5) there are jets in the bathtub 6) someone here really loves towel art...they are folded in the shape of a dog, a fish, fans, etc. 7) the bed is comfortable 8) the office closes at 7, so if you get here after that and it's cold as hell you will find yourself picking up the red phone in the dark, which calls someone who can confirm your reservation and give you the code to the lock box, which has the keys for anyone expected that evening. Really working the honor system there... All in all, this isn't a bad place to stay, and I imagine in the summer it would be better since you could utilize the lakeside location/dock and beach more. In the winter, we'd prefer a view, and 98% of the units don't offer that here. The hunt for the perfect lakeside lodge continues!

Amazing experience, with excellent customer service. I brought my fiance here to propose, and it proved to be a magical moment. The set was absolutely extravagant with a perfect stage under the Tahoe sunset. I would absolutely recommend this for future couples. Thank you Red Wolf!

Our home away from home. We love everything about it. Have owned their since day one--the best thing we ever did and this year we bought a second week. Love Trini, Erin, Kelly, Maria and the entire crew there. They treat us like family and we love coming up to the lake as often as we can.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! Stayed here in mid-June and this was by far our best family trip to Tahoe. What a great time to be in one of the most beautiful places in the Sierras. Our vacation was made even better with our stay at Redwolf. This timeshare condo resort complex has its own private beach; kayaks and paddle boats available free only to guests, and a pool overlooking the lake. We were lucky to get an exchange for a 2 bed/2 bath unit. Towels were provided. The kitchen and dining area was enough for our family of 5, nothing big. The management was kind enough to give us a cot which we requested weeks in advance. They are very accommodating. I love how the staff are friendly. The management does a great job maintaining the premises. VERY, VERY CLEAN throughout the property. We spotted baby rabbits in the area, too! Walking distance to Safeway supermarket which is a plus. There are bbq grills available if you want to have cook-out. Kings beach wasn't far, but I'd prefer to stay at Redwolf's private beach anyhow. It's not over-run with people. Just a 3 min drive is Spindleshanks Restaurant in case you are not in the mood for cooking. I regret not having taken any pics for this post. It's a beautiful complex. So if you can, get a reservation asap even if it is one year in advance. :)

Our family of three stages here recently in a one bedroom. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and accommodations were satisfactory. The small beach area attached to the hotel is another plus. However, we have stayed in a number of hotels and resorts around the lake over the years, and I'm a bit surprised to see the glowing reviews about this place simply because we have experienced much more updated establishments in this same price range. The bed was simultaneously hard and lumpy, we were on the bottom floor and could hear every movement above us, and there were few bathroom amenities. This place is more motel than resort, IMHO. Despite the great hospitality from the staff, I don't think we'll return at this price point.
