Valhalla is about a 15 minute drive from “downtown” South Lake Tahoe. Here are some other nearby lodging options to consider: Hotel Azure (3300 Lake Tahoe Blvd.) Tahoe Beach Retreat (3411 Lake Tahoe Blvd.) Lakeshore Lodge and Spa (930 Bal Bijou Rd.) Airbnbs and VRBOs are plentiful but plan to book early since July is peak season on the lake If you plan to stay in another part of Lake Tahoe, please account for summer traffic in your transportation plans!

If you are flying from out of town, we recommend flying into the Reno/Tahoe Airport (RNO). From the airport, Valhalla is a 64 mile (1.5-2 hour) drive. We recommend renting a car to see the best that Lake Tahoe has to offer. All major rental car agencies offer services at the Reno/Tahoe Airport. The South Tahoe Airporter provides shuttle access from the Reno/Tahoe Airport to Stateline, NV for $32.75 each way. From the dropoff spots, you can call an Uber or Lyft to reach your hotel.
