South Lake Tahoe offers a little bit of everything you need for a smashing girls’ weekend. It’s the perfect balance of cocktails and wellness, adventure and glamour. Hike by day, sip wine with a lake view by night, or dance on the back of a private boat charter and hit the casino clubs when the sun sets.
And best news of all? We’re gonna help you with the heavy lifting. From the best places to stay in South Lake Tahoe for a bachelorette party to an entire weekend itinerary, we’ve got you covered.
Best Places To Stay In South Lake Tahoe For A Bachelorette Party
The beauty of South Lake Tahoe is that it packs a lot of city into a small footprint. No matter where your hotel or vacation rental is, you’ll always be less than a 15-minute drive from the heart of it all.
However, with a large group size, being within walking distance to fun restaurants, daytime activities, and nightlife is a major plus.
South Lake Tahoe Hotels for Bachelorette Parties
There are tons of hotel choices when it comes to a South Lake Tahoe bachelorette party, but we’re focused on mid-range, cool, fun, and centrally located spots.
The Coachman Hotel
- Walk to nightlife, beach, restaurants, shops, skiing & more
- On-site bar, café, fitness center & wellness spa
- Heated pool, hot tub, outdoor fire pits & complimentary s’mores
- Stylish and modern with two-bedroom & three-bedroom options
We, along with pretty much everyone else, love The Coachman Hotel. Located in the heart of South Lake Tahoe, it’s a classic motel meets modern, mountain getaway. And it’s genuinely perfect for a bachelorette weekend.
The casual lobby doubles as a café and bar, while outdoor fire pits make the perfect gathering spot. A heated jacuzzi and swimming pool operate year-round, along with an on-site gym and wellness center offering spa treatments. Poolside foot massage for the bride to be? I think so.
You can even close down your Uber app for the weekend. Everything is walkable from here. Walk to the casino hotels, where South Lake Tahoe’s nightlife thrives, or to the beach, restaurants, breweries, and shops.
The Station House Inn
- Walk to nightlife, beach, restaurants, shops, skiing & more
- On-site restaurant with room service and bar
- Pool with seasonal cabanas, hot tub, outdoor fire pits & corn hole
- Budget-friendly with a cute, vintage vibe & complimentary welcome drinks
Love the camping vibe, but don’t want to wake up in a tent? You need The Station House Inn. It’s like high-mountain campout meets relaxing weekend with the girls. Cute, vintage decor adds mountain whimsy to every last detail, but a long list of amenities means there’s no compromise to comfort.
The location, just blocks away from the bustling heart of South Lake Tahoe, is one of the area’s most walkable. There’s also an on-site bar and restaurant, seasonal pool with cabanas, hot tub, and outdoor firepits for when you feel like staying in.
Perhaps best of all, only your wallet will know that it’s a budget-friendly hotel. With a complimentary welcome drink, bottomless lobby refreshments, comfortable rooms and extras like rentable books and games, it’ll feel like no cost was spared.
Basecamp Tahoe South
- Across the street from casinos, live music, nightlife, and bars
- On-site brewery with a beer garden and coffee shop
- Hot tub with mountain views, outdoor fire pits, corn hole & live music
- Social, hip and in the heart of the action
If your friend group has a bottomless social battery, then Basecamp Tahoe South is the place for you. Not only is it directly across the street from the casino hotels, where there’s literally all-night action, but it’s a destination all of its own.
With retro, motel vibes and a spacious, outdoor beer garden, Basecamp is pretty easy to love. The on-site brewery is one of South Lake Tahoe’s favorites, for hotel guests and beyond, so the beer garden at the center of the hotel is always bumpin’. Play outdoor games, like corn-hole or ping pong, or chill around the fire pit and listen to live music.
Rooms are cute and comfortable, with basic amenities, plus there are rooftop hot tubs with epic mountain views. But really, the bride-to-be will love Basecamp because boredom is basically outlawed.
South Lake Tahoe Vacation Rentals for Bachelorette Parties
We love a vacation rental for a Lake Tahoe bachelorette party. Everyone’s together from morning coffee to the final-final, it lends to a slower pace, and it’s a little easier to customize the itinerary.
But, there are things to consider:
- You’ve got to take out the trash on your own.
- You’re in a residential area, and need to be respectful with noise.
- Be bear aware! Lock those doors, baby. On your car and to the house.

No place in South Lake Tahoe screams bachelorette party quite like Wolf by Vanderpump. Playful and maximalist from the decór to the menu, this place oozes fun. Cocktails are expensive, but they’re decked in whimsy, coming draped in cotton candy, topped with bleu cheese crostinis, or branded with a wolf. Food is top-notch as well. Reservations needed.

Things To Do In South Lake Tahoe During Your Bachelorette Weekend
You’ve got the group together, you have a sweet place to stay, and a cocktail night on the books. What to do in between? A little bit of everything. From party boats in the summer months to sauna sessions as the snow falls, South Lake Tahoe is mecca for activities.
South Lake Tahoe: Summer Activities for Bachelorette Parties
Some of the best bachelorette activities around South Lake Tahoe are available year-round. But others, like boat rentals, beach days and mountain hikes are mostly seasonal.
Private Boat Charter: Party Boat or Pontoon Boat
Booking a private boat charter is without a doubt the best thing to do for a Lake Tahoe bachelorette party. Cruising around the lake with epic views of the mountains, swimming in the crystal clear water, exploring hidden coves and sippin’ beer on the swim deck? It’s what bachelorette dreams are made of.
Hot Tip: Grab a boat charter with a captain and schedule your trip for the morning for a shot at smoother water.
Horseback Riding Adventure
The girlies deserve a cowgirl moment. Get the group in the saddle for an exciting horseback riding excursion along mellow, mountain trails. Think pines towering overhead, 360-degree mountain views and Lake Tahoe sprawling out before you. Gentle, well-trained horses and a knowledgeable staff mean no experience is necessary.
Hike To Fallen Leaf Lake or Cascade Falls
- Fallen Leaf Lake trail: 3.5 mile out-and-back
- Cascade Falls trail: 1.3 mile out-and-back
There are tons of great hikes around South Lake Tahoe, and depending on your group, you might want to tackle more of an all-day adventure. But, if you’re looking for something easy and fun to get everyone outside, the Fallen Leaf Lake trail and Cascade Falls trail are ideal.
The Fallen Leaf Lake trail is minutes outside of town, has tons of free parking and easy access to Fallen Leaf Lake along the way. Cascade Falls trail is above Emerald Bay, with easy parking (but you’ll still want to get there early!) and great, easy-to-access views of Lake Tahoe.
Clear Kayak Tour
- Clearly Tahoe: Clear Kayak Explorer Tour | Departs from South Lake Tahoe
- Clearly Tahoe: Scenic Shoreline Tour | Departs from Zephyr Cove
A clear kayak tour with Clearly Tahoe is an iconic Lake Tahoe activity. It’s a great way to enjoy the pristine waters, explore the hidden shoreline, and let’s be honest—get some truly epic TikTok videos. No experience is needed to enjoy the tours, and they offer the perfect blend of sightseeing and adventure.
Catered Beach Picnic
Add a picture-perfect moment to your bachelorette weekend with a luxury, custom picnic on the beach, at your vacation rental or tucked into the forest. Tahoe Elevated Picnics does all the work for you, with throw pillows, area rugs and glassware set up when you arrive. Add-ons range from mimosa bars and charcuterie plates to lawn games and private yoga.
Wine Tasting Cruise
Can’t choose between the boat cruise and an afternoon wine tasting? You don’t have! Join Tahoe Tastings on their gorgeous, vintage Chris Craft boat for a cruise out to Emerald Bay. With 8 local wines to sample and 360-degree, breathtaking views, it’s the ultimate bachelorette adventure.
South Lake Tahoe: Winter Activities for Bachelorette Parties
Just because it’s cold out doesn’t mean the party has to stop. In fact, winter—or Lake Tahoe’s shoulder seasons of Spring and Fall—will add a cozy element to your mountain escape that’s hard to beat.
Snowmobile Tour
We can almost promise that a snowmobile tour with all the girls will be the highlight of your Lake Tahoe bachelorette party. Equal parts exciting adventure and scenic ride, this 2-hour tour is the bonding experience of a lifetime. With friendly guides to lead the way, cruise up established trails to epic, mountain ridge views of the lake and the ultimate photo opportunity.
Mobile Sauna Session
There’s actually nothing quite like stepping into a steamy sauna while the snow piles up outside. And with a sauna rental, you can have that soul-stirring, steamy session—and a cold plunge afterwards—from the comfort of your vacation rental. Especially after a fun night out, this’ll make everything right in the world.
Detoxing Cedar Enzyme Bath
Elevate the classic spa treatment to something a little more exotic with a hyper-relaxing Cedar Enzyme Bath. Sink into a bed of a naturally warming cedar and enzyme mixture for the ultimate detoxification experience. This healing Japanese tradition is one-of-a-kind, and a dreamy way to reset after a weekend of fun.
IV Therapy & Wellness Injection Cocktails
Leaving the bachelorette party looking and feeling better than before should be a new trend. Book the girls for a detox or hydration session, boost your glow with a punch of Vitamin C and biotin, or schedule a full private party filled with fun, wellness extras ranging from acupuncture to massage.
Indoor Mini Golf
Sun, rain, wind, snow—you’re going to have fun with a little indoor mini golf session at Tipsy Putt. Conveniently located near the Stateline casinos, this spot makes drinking with your friends a whole new adventure. Play games, drink bottomless mimosas, order a massive platter of nachos; there’s a little bit of everything here.
Snow Tubing with A Private Igloo
A snow tubing adventure? Good for the inner child. A private igloo with mountain views, and a s’mores roasting kit? Good for everyone. Put the two together, and you have a fun morning of playing in the snow and a warm, cute spot to warm up when you’re done.
Private, In-Home Chef
But could you imagine? A peaceful night with the girls, hanging in your cozy vacation rental, sipping wine while a stunning meal is being prepared in your very own kitchen? It’s a dream, we know. But dreams come true. Bring an in-home chef to prepare a custom, seasonal meal while you relax or get ready for a night out, and suddenly the meal is the activity.
