"We had a great stay at this Vrbo. The location couldn’t be better—right next to a restaurant and just across the street from the chair lifts, which made getting on the mountain incredibly convenient. Check‑in was a breeze; you simply go to the main lobby at the resort and they take care of everything.The room was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. The beds were cozy, and it was a perfect place to relax after a day outside. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely...

Top South Lake Tahoe Hotel Reviews

HiMark

8/10 Good

"Everything was completely fine, until breakfast. Just the standard hotel breakfast. Dry and tasteless."

Marriott's Timber Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The property is in excellent condition. The staff was helpful. The room was clean, large and our view was pleasant with a view of the courtyard and gondola. I would recommend and stay here again. The valet only option is expensive. Why am I paying for parking when I’m already paying to stay here?"

Tahoe Lakeshore Lodge & Spa

8/10 Good

"This is an older hotel but it is right on the beach so great access and views. Definitely get a room with the balcony or patio facing the beach. Our room wasn’t ready when we got there at 4:15, we only booked about a half hour before, so we got upgraded to a corner room with a balcony and windows on 2 sides facing the beach. It also had a small kitchen in the upgraded room. The room was clean and the beds softer than most hotels but comfortable. There was a gas stove in the room for heat which we used as the nights get chilly in Sept. The bath with the shower and toilet are small and not updated but like I said this is an older hotel. Everything was clean though and you couldn’t beat the view. I would stay there again."

Forest Suites Resort at Heavenly Village

10/10 Excellent

"El personal muy amable, la habitación limpia todo organizado, el desayuno bueno, las vistas y el lugar en general asombroso, disfrute cada instante sin duda alguna, este será el lugar de vacaciones familiar cada que pueda regresaremos seguro que si ❤️🥰❤️"
