This was a good resort. The 2-bedroom unit we stayed in was very comfortable, the kitchen was renovated and had everything we needed. The staff were very helpful, it was very clean. However, the decor is from 1980s and the beds/pillows were uncomfortable. We liked the jet tub, which was awesome after a day of skiing. There is also a hot tub outside and we didn't get to use it because we didn't bring swimsuits. We had a 5-month old baby with us and they provided a crib for her. The location is a few minutes up the mountain from Lake Tahoe Blvd. It's also right next to Heavenly, you can literally walk there. Kirkwood and Sierra at Tahoe are about 40 minutes away. I recommend going to Kirkwood because Sierra at Tahoe is right off the freeway (50) and gets very busy. We actually went there and had to turn around because it was full. In short, if you come to Tahoe to enjoy the lake or skiing and don't mind old decor, this is a great spot.

Tahoe Summit Village is just minutes away from Stateline, the Casinos, Zephyr Cove and a number of other great thing to see and do.
We stayed one week in a three bedroom/loft. This place has virtually everything you could need. The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, utensils, soap, etc. The condo is extremely clean. The exterior of the building looks as though it is in need of some work, but that is part of its rustic charm.
The front office has plenty of movies for rent for a small fee of $3.50 and they have an assortment of games that are free for the guests to borrow. There is a small jaccuzi and workout room on site but we did not take advantage. We did, however, take the six block walk down to the community pool and that was very nice and clean. If you do go to the pool, be sure to bring a towel as we had forgotten to bring our and had to drip dry on the six block uphill walk back.
Crissy at the front desk was very helpful in advising us on what attractions were good and worth seeing. We took her advice and we are happy we did so.
There is a bar/grill/pizza place down the road. The pizza was good, and not terribly over priced. If you need to buy groceries stay away from the convenience store next to it as the prices are insanely high- and the selection is minimal. If you take route 207 highway 50 there is a Safeway if you turn right and a Raleys if you turn left. Their prices are much much cheaper. You will be happy you drove the 10-15 minute drive. Also, there is a costco in Carson City that is really not too far of a distance.
All in all I am very happy with my stay at Tahoe Summit Village. Its not luxury, but it was very clean and comfortable and truly worth the prices they charge per night-- especially if you are traveling with others and want to stay in in the evenings and cook dinner or hang out.
There are also two golf courses located not too far away and a movie theatre down the road at Stateline.
Also, there are several gas grills on premises for guests to use. We went out and bought BBQ tools, but I believe the front office has some you could borrow if you ask. We certainly want to make a trip back to Tahoe and would think of no where else to stay by here.

I didn't see many reviews about ski vacations here, so I'll do my best to describe the area.

One quick note about driving: The reviews mentioning tire chains and snowy/icy roads are well warranted. If you arrive during snow season do your research, watch the weather, watch the DOT websites, and plan ahead. Very often, tire chains are REQUIRED by California/Nevada DOT and in some cases entire roads and major highways are shut down for snow and ice. Tire chains are often for sale in the area if you need them and expect to pay in the neighborhood of $50 to $70. The week before our visit there were several large snow storms that did close highways, but thankfully when we arrived the conditions had improved and roads were cleared with no restrictions.

Now, on to the review of the unit. If you're staying here for skiing at Heavenly, you've come to the right place. Tahoe Summit Village is very close to the Stagecoach Lifts. It is ABSOLUTELY NOT ski in/ski out but you're no more than 2 minutes away by car or shuttle. When I describe ski in/ski out places that I've stayed at in the past, I literally can walk out the door of the building, skis in hand, pop on my skis right there and scoot over to the lift. This is not that kind of place. Speaking of, you will have to either drive to the Stagecoach parking lot or take a shuttle which picks up at the bottom of the Tahoe Summit Village driveway. There are a couple/three shuttle buses that run about every 10 minutes. Walking along the road to the lift area might be possible, but with snow banks on either side of the road and fairly narrow-ish roads it's not a safe option especially when there is ice and snow around. As long as you get moving in time to beat the morning crowds, parking should be available.

The Stagecoach side of Heavenly is relatively uncrowded. Of course you're not going to be by yourself all the time, but it is certainly less crowded than the California side of the mountain. On several occasions we actually did have the Galaxy trail all to ourselves which was fun.

If you're here for a whole week I would recommend venturing out to a different ski area for at least one day. The Lake Tahoe area is filled with several good resorts. We drove up to Squaw Valley one day and I'm glad we did. It was a welcome change of pace and was a completely different ski experience. In the end, we all liked Heavenly better, but I can say I skied where the the 1960 Olympics were held.

Four of us stayed in a 2 bedroom 2 bath for a week of skiing in January 2010. One bedroom had a double bed with an attached bathroom and one bedroom had 2 twins and a bathroom directly across the hall. Not the best configuration for 2 couples but we flipped a coin and dealt with it for a week. Aside from that the unit was nice. No frills, but it was apparent that the place was kept up. The washer and dryer (stacked unit) was in good condition and the kitchen and bathrooms had obviously been remodeled fairly recently. The bathrooms had nice shower doors and new counter tops.

With that said, the TV and sitting area weren't the greatest quality. The TV was small and fuzzy on several channels and the furniture wasn't the most comfortable in the world, especially after a day of skiing. No worries, we were there for the fun of it all!

The kitchen looked nice (granite counter tops) but there were a few problems: I am an avid home cook and I found some of the pots, pans, and utensils to be of sub-par quality. For instance, the knives were in REAL bad shape. I know it's hard to have and keep good knives in a rental facility but the blades of these knives were literally falling out of their handles. The bread knife was dangerously dull. It was all I could do to keep from throwing it away - someone could really hurt themselves with it. There were 2 very small sauce pans and one very large stock pot but nothing in between. If you're making simple spaghetti with meat sauce, you will have to cook the sauce first, transfer it to a bowl and then cook your pasta in the same pot as the sauce. It's not the end of the world but it was a hassle that I would have rather not dealt with. There were 2 medium size nonstick skillets/omelet pans available to us as well. Remember you're staying at or above about 7,000 feet so keep those high altitude cooking directions nearby.

There was also no standard household cleaner to be found. I'm used to having Windex or 409 at my disposal and there wasn't a single drop in the entire place. Because I roasted a chicken one night for dinner and got some raw chicken juices on the counter AND in the refrigerator (from a leaky bag) it was unnerving to not have the proper clean-up and germ killing antibacterial sprays. I hope the maid service disinfects the fridge before the next guests arrive. Standard Palmolive soap and a sponge won't do the trick.

If you're staying here for a week, be sure and bring your own shampoo and soap. There is some provided but they are cheap hotel-type brands. Dish washing detergent and laundry detergent are provided. If you like dryer sheets, bring some. With the dry winter air and the friction of the clothes in the dryer we had to peel apart some socks! Dryer sheets are easy to pack anyway.

It may sound like I'm picking on the place, but I'm just trying to give some of the low points so people know what to expect. We really did have a great time at this complex and we would stay here again if the opportunity presented itself.

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights the end of September. We were meeting some of his old Navy friends and wanted a reasonably priced, nice, clean place to stay. We were all pleasantly surprised. We had everything we needed, including laundry soap to wash a load of clothes while we were there. I made a big stew in the crock pot before we left one day and when we got back it was such a welcoming, homey smell. The views were simply the best of the Lake and other resorts. The drive up the mountain would be scarey if there was snow or icy, but the weather was fabulous while we were there. There is a full sized refrigerator and stove and all the cooking utensils needed to cook a huge meal. Every day when we came home the maid had been in to make our beds, clean the bathrooms and leave clean towels. We drove over to Virginia City one day and had a wonderful time. It is a beautiful drive and the City itself is just like on Bonanza. Our trip was wonderful and the men all had a great time getting reacquainted. It helped, as far as they were concerned, that Street Vibrations was in Reno that week. They had a marvelous time looking at all the Harleys. In all, Tahoe Summit Village was just what we needed to get away from the stress of everyday life. It was just a great trip.
