The west shore's beloved lakefront lodge — old-Tahoe boathouse character with 23 rooms upstairs and the reception on the water.
Sunnyside is what people mean by "old Tahoe": a lakefront lodge and restaurant on the west shore whose deck has been the summer institution for generations. Weddings take the Lakeside Dining Room — windows full of water and mountains — with vows exchanged steps from the lake and the lodge's 23 guestrooms and suites holding the inner circle overnight.
The lodge publishes what most venues make you ask for: rehearsal dinners at $60 a guest, send-off brunches from $30, partial buyouts at half price, and 20% off the newlyweds' room. Note the blackout calendar — the lodge doesn't book events over the July 4th week, the second weekend of August, or the winter holidays — a sign of a kitchen that knows exactly how busy it gets.
No current published offers. Check with Sunnyside Restaurant & Lodge directly — and tell them Tahoe Weddings sent you.
Rehearsal dinners published at $60 per guest; day-after brunch from $30 per person; partial restaurant buyout at half price, with 20% off the newlyweds' room.
