I recommend packing your own knives if you decide to cook, as I did during my stay. The kitchen knives were unsafe to use as they were rather dull, bring your own knives. The dishwasher was full of clean dishes, which we found to be a tad annoying. All else was exceptional.

The studio was not like any of the pictures, however was just fine. The staff was great. Summer is slower so some stores and restaurants weren’t open. The place is still beautiful.

It’s really nice to stay so close to the Village. The pool is convenient and clean. The arcade games are HORRIBLE overpriced. The food options are great and we loved Rubicon pizza and pasta.

We’ve never had huge issues with anywhere we’ve stayed in Tahoe, but we stayed at 3114 Aspen & it was very dirty- spiderwebs everywhere, thick layer of dust on everything, clumps of hair stuck to toilet, carpets/floor were gross, old napkins in the couch, patio was not usable as there was a huge tarp with logs in the corner (we stayed in summer) to name a few things. It was very outdated with a dirty, hard couch that no one wanted to sit on. We looked at all the 2 bed/2 bath condos & none of the pictures were of the condo we stayed at. It was so bad that we requested to be moved- they were able to do this, but unfortunately while the new place was in better shape, we could not get it to cool down & ended up leaving late at night before our check out time the next day as all the kids were so uncomfortable they couldn’t go to sleep. The details on Expedia were pretty misleading. We thought the condo was at the village, but both condos were a few minutes away- not a huge deal, but annoying when we thought it was right there. We also did not know the units did not have AC until after we booked the non-refundable room & the resort emailed us frequently asked questions. We did pay a resort fee, but to access any of the facilities (pickleball/tennis courts, pool, hot tub, game room, etc) you also had to pay a $10 per person/per day fee-not sure what the report fee paid for. The staff were very nice & helpful in changing our condo, but we will not stay at this resort again.

The mice drops under the kitchen sink. Besides that the lodge was in good condition. Going places they have the shuttle service but you need to call, wait, go, do your thing, call again, wait again, return. No many choices to eat (only the one place open on the resort) otherwise need to drive somewhere, which is not convenient. The property grounds are really amazing, the lodge in itself really good.

Great space and restaurants at the location Staff called and setup entry via email, so we went straight to the room. No air conditioning but July and it was a nice temperature. Bathroom could have been a bit cleaner, but not bad… tub stopper needed a scrubbing and ceiling fan vent had dust buildup.. 2 of 4 bulbs not working on bathroom… looked intentional which was a bit annoying when doing hair and makeup. The rest of the condo looked great. Would definitely go back

Our room was ok, but the tv stopped working while we were there and the fan in the bathroom was broken so it made a loud sound when we turned it on. There was a used hair brush under the sink, so that was pretty gross. Just for next time, please clean under the sink area. It's nice being close to all the shops, though, so I really enjoyed that!
