Run for people who came for Tahoe, not for a hotel.

Alder Inn has 26 units on one lot on Ski Run Boulevard, South Lake Tahoe, run by [who runs the inn, and since when, to be confirmed]. It is a self guided inn: you book and pay online, and on the day we text you your room number and door code. There is no front desk.

The buildings are set back from the main road, among tall pine trees. In the middle is a courtyard with a hammock and string lights, and an outdoor lounge on turf with cornhole, giant Connect Four and a large chess board. Free WiFi covers the whole property. A guest closet with extra towels, coffee, cups, shampoo, heaters and fans is open at all hours. Dogs are welcome for $50 a night. Parking is free in our own lot, with accessible spaces, and needs no reservation.

Lake Tahoe, Ski Run Marina and the restaurants are within walking distance, and the Heavenly ski bus stops right by the hotel.

How a self guided stay works

You do everything online before you arrive. You book and pay online, and you see the deposit and 7 day cancellation terms before you pay. After you book, we send a secure link to a short online registration form, which every guest fills in. On the day of check in, we text you your room number and door code.

You drive in, park free in our own lot, and let yourself in. Check in is from 4 pm and check out is by 10 am. If the code does not take, or anything else is wrong at the door, call 209-215-2995.

  1. Book and pay online.
  2. On the day, a text with the room number and the door code.
  3. Park free and let yourself in.
