Celebrations In The Sierras
Holds ceremonies and receptions
Serene and lush with totally unspoiled vistas of Kit Carson, CA's majestic alpine countryside, Kit Carson Lodge is a number-one resort and venue for a wedding with a view. It's been almost a century since this pioneering hotel began hosting holidaymakers nationwide, and its outdoorsy charm, timeless timber interiors, and breathtaking location are what keep guests coming back for more. Today, the team works with nearlyweds from all across the state, hoping to get hitched in the very heart of the Sierras.
Situated at an elevation of 7,300 feet, the spectacular scenery at Kit Carson Lodge is endless, and with a beautiful selection of panoramic event spaces up for grabs, it'll be all yours to enjoy. Located just a stone's throw from the resort is a secluded lakeside ceremony site where you can say "I do" against the sweet sound of swaying evergreen shrubs and peaceful moving water. Just inside the lodge is a cozy restaurant with a bar for beverages and floor-to-ceiling casement windows that gaze out over the lodge's infinite mountain landscapes, ideal for receptions filled with dining, dancing, and never-ending delight. Cocktail parties can also take place at this top-notch eatery, but the outdoor terrace is an equally superb setting for sun-soaked celebratory drinks. Once the festivities are finished, you and your out-of-town guests can retreat to the lodge's classic cedar cabins, complete with a kitchen, premium suites, and an outdoor lounge deck with a grill.
From rentals to décor and catering by award-winning chefs, the team at Kit Carson Lodge provides all the essentials and more for milestone events. They also specialize in boat rentals, horseback riding lessons, and group excursions at Silver Lake — so if you're planning to unleash your inner adventurer with canoe rides and campfires, Kit Carson Lodge is the place to be.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Kit Carson Lodge, located near Silver Lake in Folsom, Tahoe. The experience was fantastic! The cabin was cozy and well-equipped, making it a perfect getaway. The highlight was definitely the food—Ch...
ef Jacob's dishes were delicious, and the service was top-notch. A special thanks to Asima, who was incredibly sweet and attentive. While some reviews mention certain expectations, it's important to remember that this is a rustic lodge in the wilderness, not a five-star hotel. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it!

Kit Carson Lodge is seasonal, only open from June to October, nestled at 7300 feet elevation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, right off Highway 88 on Silver Lake’s shore, about forty-five minutes from South Lake Tahoe. The cabins are cozy with ...
wood-paneled interiors and awesome lake views, perfect for a peaceful escape. They serve a full breakfast from seven AM to ten AM, but the restaurant’s food is just average—nothing to rave about. The property is heavily wooded with tall trees, but it’s rough around the edges with torn-up roads, construction clutter, and random stuff lying around. If you’re cool with some upkeep issues, it’s a solid spot for a summer or fall getaway.

The service here is horrible. If you want hot coffee or a smile in the morning from appreciative employees, you better go somewhere else. If you enjoy a scowling look in the morning and slow or no response to your request for anything; stay her...

Didn't clean room one time in our 4 day stay. Asked for more k cups to be brought to room. They laughed basically. Food WAY over priced and a joke, STORE OVER PRICED. Heat didn’t work, shower didn’t work the room basics didn’t work. I recommend definitely going to another lodge if you would like some basic Curtesy or amenities. The people who gave a rating above 2 stars for service are loco.
