8.8/10 Excellent! (1,053 reviews)

This is a beautiful property and well taken care of. The staff is friendly and accommodating. A couple of issues: 1. Check-in was guaranteed at 4:00 p.m. local time, but our room wasn’t ready until 6:00 p.m. we were told we would get an email or text when it was ready, but got nothing and had to keep checking in. 2. We were there for a whole week and the room wasn’t cleaned once! They came in and made the bed, but didn’t even bother changing the sheets or the towels. 3. We were completely shocked at checkout that we were charged nearly $300 in resort fees that we weren’t told about.

I took this at South Lake Tahoe, California on August 29th. Taken high above the lake, at Heavenly Gondola Vista Point :). This is one of the most iconic views of Lake Tahoe, a lake very popular among Americans. I loved seeing the gorgeous, colorful lake. And the vast landscape surrounding it. The lush, green forest seemed to go on forever. And the mountains were epic! You can even see some snow still atop the mountains. But best of all was the deep, serene lake! I was also at Tahoe for a family wedding. A perfect place for such an occasion!
