Stayed in a 1-BR condo for two nights during the summer season. The property itself was enjoyable....with a true "village" feel. Nice to have easy access to shops and restaurants as well as fun entertainment options....arcade, golf, rock climbing, etc. There is NO AIR CONDITIONING at this property. Tahoe doesn't generally get extreme summer temperatures, but even with an outside temp of 85 degrees during the day, we found our room to be unpleasant and stuffy well into the evening. If staying in the summer I would recommend requesting a room that faces the parking lot so that you can open your windows at night without worrying about excessive noise from village restaurants and bars. The room itself was adequate with a very nice, fully functional kitchen, private patio, and two TV's. On the negative side, we could feel (and hear) the springs in the bed, furniture and carpeting were a bit worn, and coffee is only provided on the first morning of your stay. This is a relatively minor point, but in my experience, any other hotel that provides an in-room coffee maker also provides daily coffee (especially for $200+ per night!!).

Overall, if your purpose for renting a room is to get a good night sleep, this place misses the mark with the lack of air conditioning and uncomfortable beds. If you are a heavy sleeper and want to be close to the slopes and some decent nightlife then it might work alright for your needs.

**This is just speculation, but I would imagine the noise from snow removal, trail grooming and dynamite avalanche prevention operations would make a winter stay a bit unpleasant also.

After reading a mix of reviews, I was so pleased with the Lodge! The room was just perfect - we actually had a VERY comfortable bed and the kitchen, living area and bathroom were beautiful & immaculate. My daughter even said the sleeper sofa was comfortable. We really enjoyed the location - it is in a beautiful valley, perfect for biking/walking/running. The front desk staff was great too!

With all of that said, I must agree with the previous post that the one downside is the noise factor at night. We were there on a Saturday night and due to the fact that there is no A/C you really need the windows open during summer nights for cool air - however the noise carries easily throughout the village area. My husband finally closed the windows at about 3:30am due to late night partying! Sunday night was pretty quiet with noise endng around 11:00pm.

We would definitely stay again - probably avoiding Friday/Saturday nights!

We stayed at the Village for the 4th of July weekend. The main reason we choose the site is because everything else was booked.

We were really impresed with the rooms, the layout, and how many things there were to do right outside your door. We had a 1 bedroom condo and it was great. The condo was updated, and really nice. The balcony overlooking the village was a plus.
We got there early on the 4th and were told we would not be able to check in until 4pm. That was a bit of a bummer, and the gentleman at the front desk lacked a whole lot of customer service.

We got to our room late the night after the fireworks, and found out we were located right across from the bar. The bar closes at midnight but people seemed to linger. I had read about the noise so I expected it, I just wish I would have refused a room across the way from the bar since we were traveling with a 9 mo. old. My only complaint was this, it isn't a HUGE problem but it was annoying. Especially when you open the windows for cool air since there is no AC and in comes the noise. I did not mind the music, but patrons hanging out till 2 am was a bit bothersome and I would hope Hotel staff would be more aware of this, especially given all the complaints here about it.

The location is perfect. It really was a 10 min. drive to Tahoe City. Right by the Truckee River, where you can rent bikes, ride a raft down the river.. and the scenery is really really pretty.

Overall we would stay again, we would just be more specific about what building we would want. It would not be building 3 room 340 on the 3rd flr.

We had the one bedroom condo with den and one and a half bath. The accomadations are very nice and the staff was friendly.

However we would not stay there again. As mentioned by previous reviewers noise is a real problem here and we were there on a weekend that was underbooked. Very few people in the area and still we had significant problems with noise. It was a cold rainy weekend and we still felt the unit without heat on was too hot for our comfort. We opened windows and enjoyed the cool mountain air but that came with a lot of noise.

The condo units are built over top of shops and resturants playing loud music into the night and serving alcohol around a central courtyard. We were awakened several times by groups of people who seemed to be drunk at two and three am. There is not AC in the condos so you can be hot and have less noise or cool air and lots of noise. All we could think was it must be unbearable in the busy season and summer. Closing windows does not alleviate the noise problem but does help some.

The beds were quite awful, more like the quality of Motel 6. Nothing special here and they squeek horribly.

It is one of the better places to stay in the area. Just know what you are getting in advance for your $200 plus per night stay.

Whoever decided to build these over top of resturants serving alcohol late into the night and no air conditioners really messed up.
