Chambers Lodge (also, McKinney) [2] was a historical lodge and post office in Placer County, California. [1] Chambers Lodge was located on Lake Tahoe, 1.25 miles (2.0 km) southeast of Homewood, [2] at an elevation of 6237 feet (1901 m). [1] It was one of the oldest recreational lodges on Lake Tahoe, first established in 1854. [3] After a succession of ownership changes, the lodge was ultimately demolished in 1970, [4] and the site is now occupied by vacation homes.
The McKinney post office opened in 1884, changed the name to Chambers Lodge in 1928, and closed for good in 1959. [2] The name McKinney honored John McKinney who settled there in 1864. [2] The name Chambers Lodge honored David H. Chambers who built a lodge at the site in 1928. [2]
