Looking for a motel?

Both travelers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help make check-in quick and easy.

    Location to lake shore and shopping, food and Casinos. Also seeing bears in the dumpster in back parking area of motel. Loved the deep tub and shower pressure was good.

    I recently stayed at big pine mountain motel and had an excellent experience. The location is superb—it's close to the center, within walking distance to restaurants, and just a 5-minute drive to the beach. The room was good, and the front desk staff were incredibly helpful upon our arrival. They made sure we had a room that accommodated our family's needs. I appreciate their service and highly recommend this motel for anyone looking for a budget-friendly option to enjoy Tahoe with their family.

    We were looking for one night stay before a backpacking trip and this seemed like a decent motel for the price (probably the least expensive option we had) The room cleanliness and setup exceeded expectations and it was well worth the money as well as centrally located.

    The location is fabulous, near the main street, you can do a lot just by walking around. There's also free parking on the lot. The room was very spacious and cozy, with a full kitchen available. I was able to do the whole check-in with the lodge remotely, so never really had to talk to the staff face to face.
