Skiing Lodging

We usually go ski for at least 2 days at a time, which means we need lodging since it's too far to drive back and forth. Following are lodging that we've stayed at before, the rates, and our experiences.

North Lake Tahoe

There aren't as many lodging choices in North Lake Tahoe as there are in South Lake Tahoe, especially nice hotels that are reasonably priced. Renting condos was a better deal for us.

Check-in Date, # nights	Booking Company	Lodging Type	Hotel / Unit	#BR/#BA Max #People, Sleeping Arrangements	$ / night	$ Total (incl. taxes, fees)	Parking	Notes
02-18-17 2 nights	Sun Bear Realty	Condo	Bitterbrush #16	3BR / 2BA, 6 ppl, Q, Q, 2T	$175	$632.80	1 carport	Very nice modern condo. Clean and nicely kept. Only 1 min away from Diamond Peak ski resort (goes out to Diamond Peak parking lot area). Only con is have to go down 6 flights of stairs from carport to front door of condo, and inside condo is 4 levels. Would recommend if you're OK with all the stairs.
01-27-17 2 nights	Sun Bear Realty	Condo	Tahoe Racquet Club #98 Upper	1BR / 1BA, 4 ppl, Q, Q Futon	$115	$418.10	Parking Lot	Condo on upper level with kitchen (no oven). Coin-operated laundry room. Very tight/narrow parking space when lots of snow. Pet hair on furniture and blankets. WiFi didn't work. 5 mins from Diamond Peak. Would not recommend.
01-05-17 2 nights	Sun Bear Realty	Condo	Incline Manor #45	3BR / 2BA, 6 ppl, K, K, Q	$140	$491.55	1 carport	Condo with full kitchen was nicely kept, 2 levels, 6 mins from Diamond Peak. Would recommend.
02-24-12 2 nights	Ferrari Crown Resort	Inn	Non-view family suite	1 Room, 6 ppl, 3Q		$318.00	Parking Lot	A bit rundown, 17 mins from Diamond Peak.

South Lake Tahoe

There are plenty of lodging choices in South Lake Tahoe, from budget to luxury and everything in between.

Tip: When driving to South Lake Tahoe, rather than taking Lake Tahoe Blvd into town, take Pioneer Trail. Google navigation doesn't route this way, probably because distance is longer, but there is usually much less traffic and very few signal lights on Pioneer Trail, so it's faster.

Our townhome was 3 levels with a modern full kitchen, large living room area, balcony, plenty of bedding, and washer/dryer. There are 2 outdoor pools, sauna, free continental breakfast, and it's just steps away from the shore of Lake Tahoe. Very nicely maintained. Would recommend.
