Ferrari’s Crown Resort, North Lake Tahoe

If you’re looking for convenient lakefront accommodations at a reasonable price, this family-operated motel is a great choice. The Ferraris have proudly extended a warm welcome to guests, children included, since 1957. Family suites, completely equipped with kitchenettes and gas fireplaces, can sleep up to seven. It’s nothing fancy, but it’s well run, the rooms are very inviting, and you can’t beat the location, which includes access to a private beach. Plan a trip during the off-season to take advantage of their great bargain rates.
