Loved the views and location of the Marriott Timber Lodge. The amenities are a little less quality than we are accustomed to with Marriott properties. The beds are very comfortable with the larger pillows that we love. The great room had a fireplace that my husband loved. Heated the place up too much for me. The balcony was off the master bedroom, so my husband couldn't have his wine there after I went to bed. The kitchen was nicely appointed as usual. The laundry was not in the condo but down the hall. While I am used to high efficiency washers and dryers at home, there were obviously others who did not have a clue how to work them. There were no instructions anywhere and someone had "goobered up" the dispensers with powder detergent and the machines were not cleaned. Ugh!
The location of the resort was lovely but we were told the Gondola would be available during our stay to go to top of mountain. That was not the case. The parks and the Gondola were closed because it was out of season. Wish the Marriott representative would have discouraged us from visiting at the end October. Nice restaurants nearby but little to do other than eat and drink. Scenery and Lake Tahoe were breathtaking! Took lots of pictures.

the marriot timber lodge is near a small village that has like starbucks,coldstone and places to by ski wear and a supermarket across the road and the gondola to heavenly ski resort location is better then excellent

I stayed at this hotel for business and was just blown away by how big and nice their one bedroom suite was. It is right in the middle of Heavenly Village and there are restaurants, shopping and groceries within easy walking distance. It is one block from the casinos if you are interested, and a world away when you are not. The hallways in the hotel are nice and wide, and room doors are heavy and well spaced apart. I never heard my neighbors at all. Would definitely stay here again for business or family/couples travel. Super easy access to Heavenly Gondolas right out the hotel back door.

Awesome Villas- truly a "wow" factor even for this burned out road-warrior! Right in the middle of everything! Steps away from the Heavenly Gondola's. Steps away from top rated restaurants at multiple price points (thanks Yelp!) and a block from the casinos. The design of the place was interesting and not very "big box" looking from the outside. Inside we found new everything, warm and genuine service, very clean facility and FOUR jacuzzis. An absolute must!

Very family friendly with a Teen Clubroom and a Kids Playhouse both with a full activity schedule. The pool and multiple jacuzzis were heated year round and well used.

My only tiny gripe would be the schizophrenic interior design in the lobby and main hallway leading to the main elevators. Is this a posh lodge in the woods or a modern disco? It was as if they let their design interns loose and nobody bothered to check back. Felt accidental. Beyond that- the rooms/ Villas more than make up for these visual blunders!
