Club Tahoe Resort

We stayed at Club Tahoe when my friends and I went to Tahoe to ski/​snowboard, and we stayed at a rented-​out timeshare. It was REALLY nice, especially for the price we ended up paying. There’s two bedrooms and a loft, so basically 6 people can stay here, and there are 2 bathrooms. It’s basically like a hotel, with all soaps, towels, etc, except it’s bigger and has a full-​blown kitchen, dining table, and couches with a TV. There’s also a TV in the master bedroom. And washing machines! And a fully stocked kitchen with bowls/​plates, a dish washer, and pots/​pans. There aren’t any ingredients though. Oh and a refrigerator and a freezer too! It was great. Highly recommend!

I want to start out by saying, the space would be amazing for a group of friends looking for a cheap place to stay by the slopes. The kitchen was fully stocked, there were two separate queen bedrooms downstairs with two bathrooms, and a loft upstairs with two extra beds. It can comfortably sleep 6.
On paper this seems like an awesome place to take your family, except for a few things:
The service is terrible. We arrived very early on New Year’s Eve and asked if there were any rooms available. We have two kids under 3 and I am pregnant. The girl at the front desk couldn’t give me an estimated time, it could be a 4 hour wait or 30 minutes (call housekeeping, I’m sure they could answer you). She ended up calling us two minutes before the 4pm check in time to let us know the room was available. When the coffee pot would not work on New Years morning, the girl at the front desk suggested I walk across the property in the –4 degree weather and switch it out. When I told her I have two kids to watch over, was not dressed, and was not looking forward to going out in the cold, she huffed and said she could check with housekeeping. Luckily the maintenance man was kind enough to come over and switch it for me.
Many things did not work including the dish washer and the coffee machine. There were dozens of light switches all over the place and it was like an Easter egg hunt trying to figure out how to turn on and off the lights.
The absolute worst was that the hotel does not use keys or cards to swipe at the door, just a 4 digit code you enter in, which I’m pretty sure never changes because the girl at the front desk had it memorized.
The stairs to the loft are incredibly steep and dangerous. I spent a large amount of time rescuing my 1.5 year older from them. The loft is also pretty silly since anyone sleeping there will have to wait for everyone else to go to bed first. It is completely open to the kitchen and living room and the coldest area in the place.
Upon check out, there is a sign on the door asking you to take out all the garbage (all the way across the property in the snow), do the dishes, among other chores. I’ve stayed at many time shares and have never had so much work to do on top of trying to rush out with 2 kids before 10 am.
I don’t think I would stay here again, but if any college kids are looking for a cheap place to party, this is definitely your spot.

So my parents have had a timeshare here for 35 years and this year was just bad. For a couple of years they were spending some money upgrading the units and every year they would have something new in the unit. Apparently that is no longer happening. The promise of a flat screen in the main bedroom that never came to fruition, the new bed in the second bedroom that my uncomfortable sleep says has not happened yet either. It’s like they just gave up on trying to keep the resort up to date and a place people want to stay. The best part is the dirty carpet and walls and yet they say its like a hotel?!? They also no longer do events during the week like the BBQ and movie night. This makes the resort lose its appeal and charm it once had. I hope they start acting like they care about the resort and their guests once again.

I have been coming up here for 2 weeks every year of my life as my grandparents bought this timeshare before anything was even built. 10 years ago, this place was heaven. Every July my family would count down the days till it was time to come up here. As I sit on the couch in the living room, I hear screaming children, screaming adults and ponder my experience with the front desk minuets ago. My husband and I called the front desk yesterday evening to inquire about the adult lounge/​bar and its operating hours. The lady was curt and responded one word, 10 pm, then hung up. Appalled we went to bed without going down. Well tonight we decided we’d go down for a drink and upon getting there, found a closed bar at 9:30 on a Friday evening at a «resort». I hesitantly went up to the desk to ask why it was closed, there was 2 woman working the desk, neither of them batted an eye at first till I asked again, then one woman looked to the other and said, «they’re wondering why the bar is closed» the other woman didn’t even look up and said it closes at 9:30 every night, that’s why. UGH!
On top of the TERRIBLE or just plain non-​existent customer service offered here, the hot tub has been «broken» for our entire stay thus far with promises of it being fixed «tomorrow» for the last 3 days and in the midst of very important work I was getting done on my laptop, a power outage, for 5 hours. When calling about that to the front desk, another curt and meaningless conversation with an imbecile never once apologizing for any inconvenience, rather telling me it’s not her fault and she doesn’t know when it will be fixed.
My grandparents would be in utter disgust with how this resort has turned for the worst. Warning, don’t buy in if you haven’t already. Get it together Club Tahoe, these condos aren’t cheap, we deserve to be treated much better as your guests.

I was invited to stay with a group at Club Tahoe for the Forth of July week and weekend.
This place was a very strange experience. When we checked in we asked for some dates in the future for other bookings. The representative at the desk didn’t seem to really know or understand what was going on. She told us that the website didn’t work right and you couldn’t look anything up or book online. I mean what resort/​hotel doesn’t have online booking in 2015? Being a programmer myself I asked if I could talk to whoever is in charge of the website and she responded «we have a company for that». I asked if the company was any good and she said «we are working on other stuff». Again, a very weird experience.
The resort is old and run down and really in need of some TLC. The outsides of the buildings were in overall good shape, but the insides were a different story. In our condo the carpet was so old it was hard and cracking up off the floor. There was a yellow water leak in the popcorn ceiling and the whole place smelled musty, especially the sheets and towels.
The Condo is a split level, the lower level being two bedrooms and two baths. One bedroom is the master with a bathroom and then the second bath serves the other bedroom and the entire rest of the Condo. The stand-​up shower leaked and was so small an average size adult male couldn’t comfortably fit in it. The master bedroom had a 25 year old vacuum tube television in it.
The upper level is a common/​great room and a kitchen. All of that was ok but again it needs floors and some restoration. There was a small deck which overlooked a stream and that is really nice. The upper level has a small flat screen with a DVD and VHS player as well as basic cable. There is a wood burning stove. With temperatures above 90 we didn’t use that but sure would of liked some air conditioning, which the place did NOT have.
There is also a third level loft with a very very tight spiral staircase to access it. Up there it was clean however the blinds were broken on one window and the screen was missing from the other.
The complex has free wifi however it also doesn’t work very well. You log in and it says you are logged in for 24 hours; however, you have to keep relogging in every time you turn on your device.
The complex has a community center. This was nice at one time. That time has passed. First, the swimming pool and hot tub use bromine. Bromine is corrosive and toxic and usually only used at places that are cheap. It is illegal in many places for use in swimming pools as it is a carcinogenic which cases burns and other health problems. The carpet throughout the community center is cacked black dirty and pealing up off the floor. The place really needs some work. There is a dry sauna but it is out of order. There is a work out room with 4 machines, instructions posted for different machines, and a television that goes back to the last century.
Finally, and perhaps the most dreadful, is the parking situation. Our group came up in two cars. There is one space assigned. and a few (very few) unassigned spaces throughout the complex. There were all occupied the entire weekend.
Overall feeling, I’m not sure if I’ll go back here, but won’t rule it out.

My family has been an owner at Club Tahoe for pretty much as far back as I can remember. I have fond memories of exploring the snow-​laden banks of the small creek that runs through the property with my friend as kids. I would inevitably shake a branch as he crossed, covering him with a mini avalanche of snow as we traversed the pristine silvan landscape. Ah, the memories!
It has been a few years since last I went to the Club Tahoe, and I was a little worried as I drove up; I had so many expectations. The first thing I forgot was that the rooms open up at 4. I was there at 11:30, thinking I’d be just a bit early for what I thought was a 12 o’clock check-​in time. Yikes, there I was with 4 other people and bags over 4 hours early. The woman behind the desk didn’t offer any help. There was no offer to check bags while we waited, to allow us to relax in the club house till the room was clean, no mention of wifi for us to use while we waited, nor any other luxury. I didn’t expect any of these things, but it would have been nice to know they were available. When I asked if there was any chance the room might be ready earlier, she said she could call me when it was done. Fair enough.
There’s this great little burrito place down the street. It has mesquite tri tip burritos, and you can even get a whole rotisserie chicken. I forget its name, but it’s right around the corner of the 7 – 11 in front of Raley’s. We waited there, and enjoyed a nice meal. When it was almost 4, we went back to the desk on the off chance that they forgot to call us. Turns out, there was another person at the desk, and they let us right in. So much for a call.
I was just happy to get into the room… And, it was everything I remembered. The rooms were well-​sized, comfortable, and clean. The bathrooms were well kept. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need to cook (provided you bring all the food). It would have been nice to at least have pepper and salt in the shakers that were in the room, but we didn’t expect there to be any seasonings. The room came with 2 duraflame logs that worked wonderfully in one of my favorite features of the room… a WORKING FIREPLACE! Wooot! Okay, forgive my excitement. I live in SF… and these accommodations are hard to come by.
The hot tub was great, although, I was a bit drunk by the time I got in there… so my recollection might be a bit foggy; and, it closed at 10pm :(. There were BBQ pits, where we grilled some amazing steak. All in all, I had a great time.
What were the bad points? Eh, nothing so bad. The flatscreen TV in the living room was pretty small. But, you might as well go outside. The free wifi is really useful, but don’t expect to be streaming off of it.
I would certainly recommend coming here if you have the chance. Bring a HDMI device with movies. It will make the cozy nights by the fire all the better.

The first time I came here was over 35 years ago. It is a great place to spend time with your family any time of year. The condos are decent with comfortable beds. The kitchens could be better stocked. Drinks are cheap at the bar and it is always fun to play a round of pool or tennis at the club house.

We have been coming to Club Tahoe for a wonderful 7 years now. That is why I can say that I was shocked to read Tom C.‘s review on the trash. When??? I have never seen what he describes. Everything from the parking lot to the bathtubs is always clean!
Yes, even with the upgrades it can be on the funky side but that’s part of its charm. Club Tahoe is great for unpretentious families who love the great outdoors. When we are not wandering around the lake or downtown Truckee and favorite Tahoe City haunts or eating dinner in our favorite restaurants (Azzara’s and Hacienda de la Sierra) we hang out at the club house and play pool or watch sports.
Don’t have kids? Check out the Hyatt for their casino and/​or spa and chuckle to yourself as you save money at your home away from home: Club Tahoe.

Nice resort, rustic feeling, you are in a secluded area, yet close to everything you need, restaurants, grocery store, walking trails what more can you ask for. It gives you a relaxing slow pace feeling to be here. The Condos are set up with 2 bedrooms downstairs, laundry area, and 2 restrooms, upstairs you have a kitchen, dining area, and living area, small but big enough. Above this area is a loft with 2 twin beds. Not to bad setup, the kitchen has the basics for cooking and eating (dishes, silverware, pots, pans, cups, etc) no seasonings so bring your own or you can pick some up at the grocery store. They have tennis, pool etc here. Nice place not a 5 star but I will say it’s a real relaxing place to visit

OK apartments. Dirty parking lot, garbage all over, as they do not secure the garbage from bears and other animals.

I have been going here for the last 5 years. I have stayed in both winter and summer seasons. I travel with a family with 3 small children, and that is where Club Tahoe shines.
It is true that the facility is more dated looking than most, but I like that because I don’t feel like my kids are about to destroy anything new and costly. It feels homey and relaxed.
Recent updates include kitchen refurbishments, new outdoor spa, and wifi throughout the property.
The one down side to the layout is the fact that whoever sleeps in the loft will have to go down 2 flights of stairs to the bathroom. Another possible downer is the late charges at checkout — they are on top of things here and ding you if you are not out by 10am on checkout day. But just don’t be late, and it is not a problem.
However, the staff service here is amazing. The units are well stocked — but if you need a slow-​cooker — no problem, just as for one. They have so many items that you can check out. The staff is very friendly.
The location is super. Close to everything including a great supermarket just a block away. If you stay in the summer, be sure to ask at the desk to get passes to the locals-​only beach. The set up there — with the pool and snack shack is awesome.

My SIL offered us their week (Interval 24) and we quickly snapped it up. The place is quiet and near shopping in Incline Village. Though we didn’t walk anywhere, you certainly could. The condo’s are nice and simply furnished. The kitchen includes everything you would need to prepare meals and they even have specialty items you can borrow (pizza pan, crockpot, etc.) We found lots to do including taking drives, going on hikes, eating out and spending time at the various beaches. The clubhouse has events each night, wi-​fi, a TV, a couple of pool tables, foos ball and a large reading room where you can take or leave books and magazines.

i love Club Tahoe. There is so much to do there. i am actually there right now. They have a nice computer (tthe one i am on) that lets you chek email and search the web. Definetly come here

A fairly old, basic-​level time share ski condo dvelopment. Clean, pleasant, with good facilities: seasonal outdoor pool, hot tubs, tennis, a clubhouse with a library and occasional social hours.
No view except other condos. Dark and shady because it’s in a pine forest. Safe, comfortable. Very convenient, a short walk to the heart of Incline Village.
If you’re an Internet addict like me, you should know that there’s no wifi on property yet. High-​speed Internet is confined to two free terminals in the clubhouse. Boo.
Layout is odd with both bathrooms and two bedrooms on the ground floor, a living room /​kitchen /​dining area, with fireplace and deck on the vaulted-​ceiling main floor, and two single beds in the sleeping loft. One positive aspect of the narrow but tall approach is that you don’t have anyone above or below you, so noise is really not an issue. You’ll sleep soundly here.
Kitchen supplies are not high in quality but it has everything you need, from graters to can openers, etc. Just bring the food, don’t worry about the tools.
Whether it’s a good deal or not depends on the price you get. The rack rate of $ 1,300 or so per week in season is about right. I wouldn’t have chosen this place but now that I got it almost for free in a time share exchange I’m a happy camper. No complaints here.
Oh, and bring your own shampoo. But in case you forget it’s a block away from Raley’s supermarket.
