Kings Beach
Lakeside Luxury & Alpine Romance in Kings Beach
Indulge in a high-end, romantic Lake Tahoe weekend based in Kings Beach, with lakefront suites, private boating, chef-driven dining, and golden-hour views. This itinerary balances relaxed mornings, scenic adventures, and intimate evenings at some of North Lake Tahoe’s most atmospheric spots.
Where to Stay
Crown Motel - Kings Beach
Lakefront boutique-style motel with updated lakeview king rooms, private beach, pools, hot tub, and firepits right on the sand.[1][2][4]
Red Wolf Lakeside Lodge
Cozy, upscale condo-style resort in Kings Beach/Tahoe Vista area with a private beach, pool, hot tubs, grills, and lakeview units.[3]
Good to Know
Book Lakefront and Firepit Access Early
If you want true lakefront rooms or suites with patios and firepits, reserve several weeks to months ahead—these are the first to sell out in Kings Beach and at nearby high-end resorts.
Prioritize Sunrise and Sunset on the Water
Plan at least one early morning and one sunset specifically to be at the beach or on the lake, even if it means shifting dinner a bit earlier or later.
Dress in Layers and Bring Stylish Warmth
Even in summer, evenings can be chilly by the lake; pack layered outfits, shawls, or a nice jacket so you can comfortably linger outside at dinner or by the firepit.
Reserve Activities and Dining with Specific Requests
When booking private boats, spa sessions, or dinner, mention that it’s a romantic getaway and request window seating, champagne on arrival, or a quieter table.
Have a Car, but Park Once When You Can
A car is helpful for reaching Incline Village, East Shore, and marinas, but Kings Beach itself is walkable—once you arrive and park at your lodging, do some exploring on foot.
