Our 17 suites and 4 studios all have panoramic views of the lake and the mountain peaks, each with a private deck and a kitchen, along 200 feet of Tahoe waterfront.
A small lakefront resort in the heart of South Lake Tahoe. Located along 200 feet of prime Lake Tahoe waterfront, the Beachcomber Inn is a small, intimate, family-friendly resort with 17 suites, 4 studios, and one hotel room. Every suite and studio has a panoramic view of the lake and the surrounding mountain peaks, and the hotel room is an interior room for two.
The Beachcomber is owned by its member families. It runs as a non-profit, so the money from your stay goes back into the property.
A private boat dock and mooring buoys sit right out front, and a buoy is free for guests during the boating season. Tell us when you book and the front desk will reserve one for your stay. Boaters who are not staying can rent a buoy for the season or the week. The observation deck above the dock is where most regulars head after dinner.
