“Nice - long weekend getaway...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

person found this review helpful

This resort is wonderful, the customer service, amenities and location was perfect. We arrived January 20th. It had not snowed and we came into Tahoe while it was raining. When we woke up there was at least 6 inches of snow and it continues to snow all weekend - yielding 29 inches of snow. Great skiing....

There is a shuttle that goes to the village and life is on cruise control. We bought a deal from Travelzoo and upgraded to the suites with a kitchenette and fireplace. We highly recommend it.

Room Tip: Get the suites with the fireplace and kitchenette - buy some mixers and your beverage of choice at t...

“Nice resort for families”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Our small family (two adults and a 10-year old) stayed just before Christmas 2011 for a few days. The resort is pleasant and comfortable, with an emphasis on kids activities. There are arts and crafts (cookie decorating) and kids game room activities, a small video arcade room, a small ice rink (with metal frames to help kids who have never skated), sleds and x-country ski equipment for rent on premises. At nights, they had a make-your-own s'mores on one of the decks at night. (Fun, but very cold!) There is also a pool and 3 hot tubs (one is for adults only). This is a resort; therefore, there are also a number of stores to pick up items you've forgotten/clothes and a cute toy store.

The rooms are large, pleasant, very well-equipped. We had a small refrigerator, dishwasher, sink, counter space with a toaster, and microwave, plus plates, cups, bowls, silverware, pots and pans and utensils. Great for a family if you would like to cook or eat a meal in your room.

Our room had a dining area, and a gas fireplace. The beds, including the foldout couch were comfortable. (That's saying a lot when it comes to foldout! And the master bed was very comfortable) and our room was mostly quiet. Sometimes folks (especially kids) yell in the hallways, but that's not the resort's fault. Staff is courteous and very helpful.

The one downside was the restaurants. They're expensive and, in our opinion, the food offerings were limited. While the food quality was good, it lacked imagination, was tasteless and dry. But there are some very good restaurants in the area. We would recommend breakfast (or any meal ) at PlumpJack instead. There are some excellent restaurants in Truckee.

Oh, and if it's winter, and the ice rink is too small for you, try the Truckee Recreation center ice rink. $6 per person for skating including skate rentals AND the skating crowd was friendly and low-key when we were there. Hot cocoa and cups of soup available for purchase. Rental skates are your typical uncomfortable ones, but the rink very pleasant and open after sundown.

“Great setting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

I stay here twice a year for work and they are a very accommodating resort. Rooms are very nice, grounds are beautiful. Ask for a humidifier in your room as it is dry.
