 Rooms
This is one of my favorite properties to come to, not just because it is the closest my home.  I have stayed in several rooms, the latest one 9203 (three bedroom facing the woods) is decorated in a woodsy cabin type feel.  The rooms are all decorated the same, down to all the rooms having the same pictures on the walls.  That aside, this place is well maintained and clean.  The rooms have in room laundry, private bbq on each deck, and flat screen TV’s in each bedroom.  The counter tops are granite and in good condition.  If I were to have one complaint about this place, it would be that they charge $3.00 for movie rentals, and that the Wi-Fi which they recently upgraded comes included for only two devices for two days.  If you have a family with more than two devices or you stay more than two days you have to pay for access. 

Grounds



The grounds are always well maintained.  I have never been here while it is snowing so I don’t know how fast they are at cleaning the parking lot, but they have the needed equipment to do so quickly.  Of the approximately five times I have been here three of them, the pool has been closed for repairs.  The pool area has a children’s pool, hot tub, and the main pool, there is also a bbq in this area.  There is a separate hot tub away from the pool that is fenced off and apparently for adults.  Lastly there is a play area for young children.  All are well maintained and clean.

 

Town

Zephyr Cove has several dining options some within walking distance to the resort.  There are many more dining options in the town of South Lake Tahoe a couple minutes’ drive away.  Although you don’t have lake views from the rooms, the beach is a short walk away.  There are many hiking trails in the area.  Heavenly Ski resort is only about five minutes away.  The resort is across the street from Safeway which is very convenient.

Tips:

The members update is really a sales pitch despite the claim that they have no sales office.  The office looks exactly like the sales office in every other timeshare resort.  Building #12 is near the second hot tub.
