I am reluctant to provide a rating, as I was unable to see the castle. We arrived but found that there is no way an individual with difficulties walking could get to the castle. This review is for information purposes.

Excellent tour of an amazing place full of fascinating history. The house is beautiful and designed after Viking architecture. We decided to take the trip from Camp Richardson by boat and it was well worth it. We avoided the mile walk up and down the path to Vikingsholm and the short ride was beautiful, especially the entrance to Emerald Bay. It provided a close up view of the small island in the bay with a tea house on top of it. There is a beach on the shore after your tour. Some great hiking is available if you choose to park and walk the path down.

The only thing that was not super cool was the parking situation. It was not very clear where the trail head actually was, but we ended up parking on the main hwy and found the trail head at the parking lot for the look out. The walk down the trail is about a mile, but manageable. The views of the bay and the nature are breathtaking. The water is so clear, the beach is nice, clean bathrooms and the buildings are very interesting. Paddle boarding and kayaking was easy to access and registering was quick.

We were told that this house was only accessible by private boat. We got to sail by and take photos from the M.S. Dixie II sternwheel boat. This property has an interesting history.
The lady who owned this home frequently went to the teahouse on Fannette Island (by rowboat) to have afternoon tea.

Very nice but somewhat difficult hike to do. Worth it to see such a cool structure. I recommend doing this in addition to another activity while you are in Lake tahoe!

On the west side of Lake Tahoe you will fine a kind of not hidden treasure just waiting to be discovered over and over again. The history behind the Vikingsholm is amazing and well worth your time to visit!

When my family and I went to Emerald Bay, we went to Vikingsholm. It was really cool, seeing this old mansion in Lake Tahoe. It had amazing architecture and design, like Norse or Scandinavian features. There were cool stories about the woman who once lived in Vikingsholm, and how caring and kind she was.
We couldn’t go into rooms, though it still was cool. The tour was mostly on what happened in Vikingsholm. Great tour! Took so many pictures.

Worth hiking down to as it is very cool. It is a self-guided tour, but still worth the hike. Would highly recommend the Kayak out to the small island, so beautiful!!! It is very picturesque. The hike back up was a tad difficult. If anyone has ambulatory issues, would not recommend.

Starts off interesting, but then, fizzles. Its a short into to the place, then a self-guided tour. The "self-guided" part leave much to desire. Really takes only about 10 minutes, Cant see much, Cant go in the rooms. Read online, then look at pictures, about he same. Should be free.

We did a boat ride to/from Camp Richardson, from Action-Watersports associated with the state parks system, to avoid the whole parking scenario and long walk down the steep driveway. Our driver, Capt Jack told us we could stick to the schedule OR stay in Emerald Bay longer. Initially we planned an afternoon hike so we left after our allotted time and tour of the castle.
It is simply amazing from the outside but so worth it to pay for a tour of the inside and hear the story. The attention to detail in absolutely every room is fantastic. The views from the inside rooms and the courtyard are breathtaking.
There is a bookstore nearby that sells snacks and drinks. Lots of picnic tables to get out of the sun. Clean pit toilets on property.
I highly recommend this site!

Quick question about the hike... I am heading to S. Lake Tahoe next week with my husband and had this on our list to do. How intense is the hike, I am 5 months pregnant but very active. Also, how much time should we dedicate? Thanks!

Hi My husband and I are 67. It takes me about half an hour to hike a mile - on pretty much flat ground. The to the castle is downhill and the way back is uphill. We didn't find it too steep, although my husband had to stop a couple of times on the way up. Take water and use the bathroom at the top. There's not another until you get nearly to the castle. It's absolutely worth seeing and should be a marvelous hike.

I believe if you call ahead they can arrange for a cart to transport up and down the hillside.

Is there an admission fee?

There is a small fee to tour the castle. There is a small parking fee at the top. There is no fee to walk in the park.
Is there another way to get to Vikingsholm besides the hike? i.e. boat? Public transportation?

Yes there's now a boat tour out of Richardson at the Beacon. However it's $99 for adults I think 69 for kids
I have only 8hrs to spend in South Lake Tahoe, and I want to visit within 2 places, 1st is in Emerald Bay State park, 2nd in Heavenly Ski Resort. Do you guys think I have enough time to make it? Thxs in advance

I think you would be very rushed. I would choose one and spend time to enjoy it.

I don't have time to tour both, so I'm trying to choose between thunderbird lodge and vikingsholm. Which one is better, more beautiful, more interesting?

I agree with what was said. I prefer Vikingsholm. That being said, don't let the hike down to Vikingsholm worry you.. It is a switch back road and not a trail. One of our friends, whose son is in a wheel chair, pushed him both up and down the road. Go and enjoy.

I'd like to hike one way from Emerald Bay to DL Bliss Park, using two cars to transport our 10 people party, and I want to go in this direction to minimize the hilly hiking from Vikingsholm to the highway. How close can I get to the trailhead in each direction? Some of us are old, but its a special occasion.

They have parking at the trail head for Vikingsholm, but it filled up before lunch when we went last week on a Tuesday. Cars were being towed and people had parked a good mile down the road off the sides of the road and at other pull offs. My advice on that would be to get there early. Absolutely remember to take plenty of water. The trail is not bad, not easy, but not horrible. Just wear proper shoes and don't get in a hurry. The view is AMAZING. Coming back up took more effort and water. There are restrooms when you get there, just no running water.
