Marriott Timber Lodge South Lake Tahoe CA

Once in South Lake Tahoe relax in Marriott's villas with all the amenities; hot spas and a swimming pool always at 84 degrees for your comfort in the high mountains. The villas are in the center of many walk-to conveniences. For example, a supermarket for dinner shopping and taking advantage of the traditional sparkling clean BBQs at all Marriott Vacation Clubs. Or have a hot chocolate and wine near a gas fire in the crisp outdoors.

The villas are smaller than the Oahu KoOlina, but you still get all the attention and features that you are used to with the roomier villas. A walk-in Market Place and DVD rental and concierge for all your questions on what to see in the area.

Do not forget about winter skiing. The gondola lifts are outside your door. Pick up your gear and walk to the lift from your villa. No dealing with loading the car and then finding a parking space. Restaurants, shopping, cocktails and outdoor entertainment all surround the gondola of Heavenly Mountain Resort. Skiing for all levels of learning and expertise.

The historic Virginia City mining town in Nevada is an hour drive from South Lake Tahoe. We enjoyed the mining town and learned a little history of the people and buildings taking the $5.00 narrated tour ride. Find shopping, eating and antiques offered in 19th century buildings in the colorfully preserved town built during the mining era.
