Great staff & Property!

First impression was guest parking and that was a struggle. We arrived late (11pm). Check in was smooth and staff was excellent! He instructed us to search for a space marked in green, which we could not find. We contacted the safety patrol person and he found us a place to park in the main parking area, which we did not know about. When we finally made it to the second floor of the Timber Creek Lodge, we noticed the carpet was terribly stained. As a ski resort, we recognize that it is almost impossible to keep it looking clean. Finally, we were surprised by the extra $10 fee to use the recreation area, as we already paid a resort fee. The pool and hot tubs were listed as an amenity but there was no mention of an additional fee. Otherwise, I would consider returning to the resort. The property was lovely and overall clean and comfortable.

Great spot, service is a let down

Rooms have no air conditioning. The patio door and screen were left open prior to our check in, the thermostat was registering 92degrees in the room. Mini swamp cooler was not functioning. After 3 attempts, was able to contact customer service. They brought 2 additional fans. Achieved a decent temp by 11:00pm thanks to Mother Nature. We paid a 77 dollar resort fee, only to find out that to use the pool and facilities was an additional 10$ per guest. When requesting a late check out of 12:00pm (which was stated was an option included in the resort fee) we were told no. Those things aside, location is great. Very cool view over the village. I would say this would be a much better stay during the winter.

Great condo. The day pass for the pool, gym, and other recreation was phenomenal. We went during the off season. While it was great there was no crowd, on the flip slide most establishments for food and entertainment were closed. That's not a reflection of the property, but more about the season. Great property and staff!

Glad we weren't in the room very much.

Bathtub door would not open properly. Had to side step next to toilet. Track very dirty and part of the reason it wouldn't open. Internet would not stay on, even after rebooting numerous times. No way to clean coffee mugs/glasses for reuse. Bring your own soap.

Nothing Like The Description

About 30 minutes before our check in time, I received an email with check in instructions. On the email, it also mentioned for use of amenities, there’s an extra charge of $10 per person, per day. This includes pool area and gym. When I was looking for a hotel, the description said it had a pool and gym, but didn’t mention we’d have to pay an extra fee, so that was a disappointment already. We get to our room and we unpack all of our belongings, including our groceries we just purchased only to notice the unit doesn’t have an AC, the huge sliding door in the living room didn’t have a curtain, and also didn’t lock, and the dryer wasn’t working. Which being in Tahoe, we need a dryer due to being at the lake daily. We called the front office and said they would be able to assist us in the morning. They offered us two units to look at, which one didn’t have AC and it smelled horrible. The one we chose, still didn’t have AC, but there was a curtain and doors locked at least. We had to re-pack from the night before and move to the new unit. The next day, we noticed the fridge wasn’t working which caused our food to go bad and had to buy more daily. The overall resort area is not kept up and it looks almost abandoned. We were very unsatisfied with our stay here and spent a lot of money due to groceries having to be thrown out. The description says the amenities are included, and they aren’t. It also says they have AC, which the units don’t. We will never stay here again.
