10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay! The warm welcome, family vibe, rooms equipped with everything needed made it a great experience and we will definitely be back. Our new South Lake Tahoe getaway for sure with its walking distance to all the shops and casinos."

Heavenly Valley Townhouses

8/10 Good

"The place is nice and near the town. The place was clean though the heat was on all the time and we had to remove garbage at the end which was weird to me. But overall experience was nice. There is no AC but there are fans. The hostess was nice and very communicative. If you can’t send them the check in form on expedia messenger just find the email online. The place does look a little old cottage but i would recommend returning."

7 bedroom 6.5 bath Heavenly Estate Next To Heavenly Ski Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of 13 enjoyed our 3-night stay in this wonderful home! It was clean and well-stocked and had everything we needed. The only real negative was the quality of the mattresses—adequate, but not great! We did not use the hot tub, as we had a full schedule of daytime activities—e-bikes, Emerald Bay cruise, and shopping—but we really enjoyed the theater room in the evenings. We also enjoyed the gas grill and a dining room table that would seat all of us! The owner was very helpful and responded quickly to our inquiries!! Nice property!!"
