The Incline Lodge is the North Shore's stylish, mid-priced boutique choice, and one of the few hotels in Incline Village with real character. The Warner family bought the former Parkside Inn in 2021, renovated it top to bottom, and reopened it as The Incline Lodge, with a new lobby, modern rooms and the feel of a small mountain hotel. Rooms have custom furnishings, local art, smart locks, large TVs, mini fridges, air conditioning and heating with air purification, and organic bath products. Guests get a complimentary glass of wine in the evening, free pedal bikes (with e-bikes for rent), ski and storage lockers, a concierge lounge and an indoor pool. One of its best features is beach access. The beaches in Incline Village are mostly reserved for residents, but guests of the lodge can pay for access to Incline Beach and Burnt Cedar Beach, two of the best on the North Shore. Sand Harbor, the Tahoe East Shore Trail, the Flume Trail and Diamond Peak are all a short drive away, and the Mount Rose ski area is about 25 minutes up the highway. The hotel uses contactless check-in through an app or kiosk and a virtual concierge, which suits some travelers better than others. There is no full restaurant on site, only a lobby bar with coffee, beer and snacks, so plan to eat in town. It is not on the water, and the beach access comes at an extra cost. It suits couples, small families, skiers heading to Diamond Peak or Mt. Rose, and travelers who want a design-minded base on the Nevada side.
The renovation is the story. The lodge took a dated motor inn and turned it into a small boutique hotel with a warm lobby, a bar, and rooms that feel current. Its location in the middle of Incline Village puts guests within walking distance of cafes and shops, and within a short drive of the East Shore's beaches and coves.
Room strategy
Book directly to get the travel protection option and the lodge's own perks, ask for a quieter room away from the street, and arrange beach access through the front desk in summer, where you can also pick up beach gear. In winter, use the ski lockers and the partner shuttle route. Take the free bikes out on a summer morning along the Incline Village paths.
