Review The Choices Of Lake Tahoe Heavenly Lodging

By Ronald Morris


Heavenly Mountain Resort is located in Lake Tahoe, California, but its ski runs cross over into Nevada. It is well known for its skiing, with ninety seven runs and thirty lifts. The runs are classified as beginner, intermediate and advanced, so there is something for every skill level. When skiers drive to Heavenly, they want a warm, cozy place to retreat after a cold day on the slopes. There are many choices for a warm room and a cozy lodge at Lake Tahoe Heavenly Lodging.

You do not have to spend a lot of money on lodging, but you can. The price range is in the low one hundreds up to more than five hundred dollars per night. There is a Heavenly website that lists twenty seven lodging options, and rates the lodges and hotels by stars, five stars being the best. This site does not have total access to all the rooms, as the hotels only allot these sites a certain number of rooms. If you can not find lodging for the nights you want, go directly to the hotel website. Chances are you will have better luck there.

On the high end, The Landing Lake Tahoe Resort and Spa has all the amenities. The hotel can accommodate weddings and has an elite spa where guests can rejuvenate after a long day of skiing. If you are a skier and you have the money in your budget, this is a beautiful site. But many travelers will need to take the cost down a notch.

When you have finished skiing, you might want to take in some gambling. Harrahs Lake Tahoe offers lodging and casino. Be sure to check the Harrahs website for availability. The rooms run around two hundred dollars, some are less.

If you need to keep the budget down consider some of the cheaper chain hotels, such as Best Western. You will be assured of consistent quality the chain provides at a reasonable price. These may not be as close to the lifts, but an avid skier will be more than willing to make the sacrifice to get their time on the mountain.

Another option are the Air Bed and Breakfast lodging, commonly referred to as Airbnb. This can be the most economical way to stay at or near Heavenly, with entire cabins available for around one hundred fifty dollars a night. Guests are on their own for food and getting to the ski area, but if you want to spend a week or two taking in the mountain air, this can be a very cozy and homey alternative.

If you take the Airbnb route, and you find a destination that you are happy with, go ahead and book it again for next year. This way you are taking less of a gamble and can be sure that you are pleased with the lodging. Some of the cabins are within walking distance of the lifts. Keep in mind, there is no guarantee of consistency. Each property is completely unique.

Lake Tahoe City is a beautiful location and a favorite of many vacationers. There are more ski resorts than Heavenly, so give them a try also. With all these choices you should be able to find a place to stay that makes your trip most enjoyable. Skiing, some gambling and just breathing in the fresh mountain air make for a memorable vacation.
