WorldMark Lake Tahoe

This place is a little outdated looking, but it’s perfect for what I need it for! I am an owner, and I love this location. The views are gorgeous and the units are clean and comfortable. We had no clunky decorations to stow in the cupboard away from my toddler! I love the rustic cabin feel of this place. The staff was friendly and helpful. No one even mentioned a presentation for us to attend, which we really appreciated! We didn’t use the pool or hot tubs this time, so no comment on those this time, but every other time I’ve been here, those were fine. We came for the snow this time so we basically just slept, bathed and ate breakfast and dinner in our unit. For that, this place was perfect!

Extremely outdated rooms. Were staying with my mother in law which owns this timeshare. Once it was time to leave we needed a bit more time to check out. I called the front desk to ask for at least 20 more mins. after the required time. I spoke to the front desk supervisor which rudely denied the request. She stated there would be a thirty dollar charge if we went over 12pm. I was like «Are you kidding me?» All I asked for was 20 mins. This is another reason why I am not a timeshare owner. They ask you to pay a monthly fee + housekeeping service? Timeshare is the worst investment! Horrible service. I’d rather pay a little more and stay at Harrah’s and not worry about a montly fee.

Actually, let’s make this 4−½ stars for the room, 10 stars for the beautiful view of the lake, and five stars for the customer service. I thought I was booking the Zephyr Cove property, silly me. I realized my mistake, as we headed up the mountain towards Heavenly. Ooops. We were in Tahoe 3 and I’m glad this is the property we ended up with, after all. These are a bit dated former timeshares/​condos before Worldmark bought them in the 90’s. We had a one bedroom, which is a bit dated, a bit dark (dark blinds, dark carpet) and kinda small. Cleanliness, 5 stars. My biggest complaint are the showers. Unless you are under 5′ tall, which I am not, I had to squat down to wash my hair. Hello Worldmark? Maybe a shower massage can solve the problem. Or add some sort of plumbing to raise the shower head. Had my son, who is 6’4, been here it would hit his chest.
The bed wasn’t comfortable at all. Our backs were killing us, so we didn’t sleep well. I felt like I was sleeping on concrete.
Some minor things– no hook on the bathroom door for a bathrobe. It’s a girl thing.
WiFi isn’t free, but I’ve come to expect that. We paid $ 5.00 a day (they changed their rates recently, I think). It worked fine, so no complaints there.
The hot tubs were pretty meh… as in very tiny. We never used them. It’s all stairs, too, which is a challenge for me– with the artificial knee and limp. No elevators, so just know that. There are no ground level rooms. Other than that, we had all the amenities we needed.
Tahoe 2 is one I wouldn’t recommend and was not recommended by the staff, either. Tahoe 1 is perfect if you’re a ski rat… it’s perfectly situated for the ski lifts.
I hear a renovation is scheduled for March 2016. I think that’s a good idea. Let’s hope that a female plumber who is 5’7 or above improves the shower heads. Oh! With great trepidation, we did the owner’s workshop and they really stuck to the one hour and we learned a lot!

Let me preface this by saying the views are outstanding. The front desk staff was very friendly. It has a full kitchen but not a lot of room for storing foodstuffs. Full meaning a stove and full size fridge. There is a deck off the bedroom. No air but a fan in the bedroom. They have added a portable fan so that’s nice. The unit does have a pseudo fire place in the living room but it’s still summer :(.
(Addition) I take the fire place thing back. It dropped to 38 the other night. We turned it one he next morning and the room was toasty. Worked just fine.
The unit, however, is outdated. A bit on the chintzy side. The bedroom has a king bed that is as hard as a brick and the pillows are flat. Plenty of outlets but wifi is not free. It’s an extra $ 16.00. That sucks. It should be free.
The unit has an apartment size washer and dryer but it takes what could have been storage in the bathroom. But what are the trade offs? I don’t have to go to a public laundry. Hurray.
You have only a small counter and the toilet tank (ewe). No place for soap or shampoos on the bathtub. The soap slides right off and you have only the narrow ledge for shampoo. No hooks to hang towels on the door or another towel rack
We expected more from the Wyndham. We really did. You pay dues and upkeep. I like unexpected surprises and comfort.
There is a pool and a hot tub. We are staying for a week too.
Addition… Wednesday morning
Ok, may I just reiterate, the beds are bricks. We’ve been here since Friday night, it is now Wednesday. I haven’t slept well in all that time. I have pillows piled behind me and I’ve added the ones from the couch. My biggest beef with these time shares is that they don’t splurge on the beds. You pay dues, every year, and the beds are crap. We HAVE liked everything else about this place.
I have cooked us dinner and have been pleased with all that the units have to offer… Kitchen wise. We did bring up our own spices and cooking oil etc. but when you can’t sleep and your back hurts everything else sort of fades away. I sat in the hot tub for an hour, hoping to relax enough to sleep, last night. No such luck. Look likes another nap on the couch for me. Hub and I are taking turns. He’s not sleeping well either. 2 more night!!!

1^st time staying in Tahoe at the end of summer. Stayed in a 3 bedroom in building 3 and can’t complain at all about the set up of the place. Big roomy and closer to the pool that at the main complex; yes it’s separate from the main units and office, but I liked it even better for that reason. Only thing I didn’t care for at first was being on the second floor with lots of stairs. (Out of breath by the time I got to my room, but I’m fat so I needed it anyway. Lol!!)
Only around 3 miles from the center of everything available. Casinos, shopping, beaches, food, and some amazing scenery. Staff was amazing and so eager to help with anything they could. *5 Star staff*
We did one of the owner trainings they offered as a refresher for us and Sooo glad we did. Mr. Mike Knowles did such a great job going over everything and clearing things up I totally had wrong that we upgraded and purchased more credits to be able to take advantage of ALL Wyndham has to offer. So if you’re not an owner or if you are an owner and thinking of adding credits Mike is your guy.
Very family friendly 7 day vacation. Thank you Tahoe.

We come to Tahoe at least once a year. It seems that it has become our 4^th of July place for the past three years.
There are three Worldmark locations in Tahoe. We prefer to stay up on Tramway than down on the main strip (too many people for our liking). We are really close to Heavenly.
The condos are nice, with typical Worldmark features. Full kitchen, washer and dryer, etc. Our unit this time included a jetted tub. We were in an end unit with an amazing view.
The pool is not on property which is kind of a bummer.
I took advantage of the grocery delivery. It’s $ 25 but it’s so great arriving to a stocked kitchen. The staff at the front desk did really well.
I’m sure we’ll be back!

We are longtime members. We stay at many of our Worldmark Resorts. Looks good and it’s clean. These are small and we miss the Murphy bed! Fire place only works according to temp in room? No screen doors and no window in our room. No heated pool at this location? No bbq on balcony. No outdoor furniture. Thankful they didn’t opt out on the dishwasher and washer and dryer!!! The view from the lobby and our balcony is lovely! Comes with most everything you could need even spices. 10 min to get to Lake, grocery stores, casinos shopping and restaurants and the sister resort where we could use the pool and jacuzzi (ours was closed). Staff was friendly and helpful and we loved being surrounded by trees and rocks. Game rooms very small but our girls enjoyed playing in the forest near our room, climbing rocks and picnicking on the rocks.

We have a 3 bedroom for our family. The size of the unit is great! It is outdated though. Tiny master bathroom. I don’t like vacationing when I don’t have a counter to put my things on. The shower also has no areas to put soap and shampoos. The front desk service is good and everyone is nice. The location is perfect. Nice huge jacuzzi and pool.

Had an opportunity to stay here a few nights thanks to a friend.
It’s a nice location, that is very close to the casinos and Heavenly Gondola and Heavenly lift. It’s about 4 miles to get to Harrahs’s, Hard Rock, Raley’s and the Heavenly Gondola. There is also a lift around the corner to one of the ski/​snowboard runs. I’m not sure if that is part of Heavenly, but it really is just around the corner. Like no joke – a 2 minute drive. You park and hop on the lift. As you are driving to it, you can see the snowboarders and skiers making their way down. Again this is not the Heavenly Gondola – as that is over there by the casinos. So I’m not sure if this is part of Heavenly, but it is very convenient for those who want to ski/​snowboard right around the corner.
There wasn’t much snow on our trip here, so the roads were mostly clear. I will have to add, although it is only 4 miles from the casinos, Heavenly Gondola, and the other main stores, the road is curvy. I could imagine if it was full on snowing, you would have to be more cautious.
As for the rooms, we stayed in a nice 2 story 3 bedroom on the 3^rd floor. There is a FULLY STOCKED KITCHEN. When I say fully stocked, I mean there are plenty of plates, glasses, cups, pans, pots, blender, mixer, pizza pan, knives, etc. I mean EVERYTHING. BUT, THERE IS NO RICE COOKER. So keep that in mind. Has electric stove, oven, fridge with ice maker, and dishwasher. We utilized the kitchen and cooked each day we were here and it was great.
There is a dining area and a living area with a fireplace and a small TV above. Then there is an upstairs that has another living area. There are 3 separate bedrooms and 2 baths. 2 bedrooms and 1 bath are downstairs, and the others upstairs. It is very spacious. We had 6 adults and 3 kids and it was plenty roomy. You could fit 12 easy.
The décor was dated, but it wasn’t rundown. The seal on one of the windows though looked like it needed replacing as we saw moisture coming in on the cold and ice. The bathrooms were fine as well.
NO ELEVATORS. I mean it was fine, but for older folks or people who just don’t like to go up and down stairs. Be mindful of that. We had to lug my 5 month old daughter in her car seat. Was no problem for us, but I could see how some (many) may complain.
Probably my biggest complaint is the internet/​WIFI. There was a connection but it was down. We called and they said someone had to go out to the location to check. Our 3 days there, and it was never fixed. I know, being out in nature we shouldn’t worry about internet. Truth is though, some people just need to have it. I was planning to get a few hours of work in, and couldn’t. Even if it was fixed, my friend said it wasn’t free and you had to pay. Which I was willing since it was for work, but we didn’t even get that far. If you have T-​Mobile and ATT, there is signal up here, but you may only get 4G and not LTE.
Overall, I can’t complain too much, since my friend hooked it up free. I just deducted a star because of the window seal issue, WIFI, and the stairs may not be convenient for a lot of folks esp. with young children. Other than that, this place was great to stay at and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it or go again.

We stayed in a three bedroom. It was way bigger than we expected! Very cozy, beautiful view. A little farther from town but we came to relax and spend time with our kids on their spring break anyway. We will definitely be coming back!

I have been to many worldmarks but this one is very unique. This place sits 7800+ feet above elevation and has a gorgeous view! I have been here once before but the view never gets old. The staff at the front desk is very accommodating and has very good hospitality. The rooms are above average and this place is 5 minutes from the casinos in downtown Tahoe. One of my favorite places to stay in tahoe!

My parents treated my little family of four for a week in a 1 bedroom suite and we truly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, including spices (not just salt/​pepper), hot chocolate, coffee, as well as dish-​washing soap and dishwasher detergent. There were baking trays so we made cookies and a casserole dish. The fridge was normal size apt fridge and perfect for our stay. There was also a washer and dryer so we didn’t go home with any dirty clothes. Flat screen TVs and DVD players in both living and bedrooms. Living room also had a nice radio that could hookup to your ipod/​iphone.
The view from the third floor was spectacular, the balcony from the bedroom faced Carson city and could see the sparkling lights in the valley with the snowy sierras in the distance. The front deck had sunset views of the lake and you could even see the lights from the strip.
The downsides …
— no elevators, so plan to make several trips when unloading/​loading up
— no garbage shoot, they ask you to take out all the garbage but there is no shoot, no elevator and 3 stories down across a icy parking lot was a dread
— not much space to store clothes; one closet in the bedroom, one dresser and two nightstands.
The staff was nice and attentive. If you needed anything extra you would need to pickup yourself from the front desk. Also, no daily cleaning but they do equip each unit with a vacuum which came in handy with my messy toddlers.
Also, when we went up there wasn’t much snow so the drive was easy but could imagine it would be a treacherous drive up to the summit if it was dumping snow. No street lights, just some reflectors and 4×4 & snow tires are required on the summit. I’d recommend hitting up Raleys/​Safeway before driving up if its dusk or later. Its a very windy road so I could definitely see someone getting car sick on it, take it slow. Could tell there was a speed trap for the locals at the top as we regularly saw patrol cars parked at the summit sign. Its about 15 min to the strip, 30 min drive to Carson City and 45 min drive to Virginia city with clear weather conditions.
There was only one parking spot per unit, we would keep put after dusk and not lose our spot. however if you are coming back later at night expect to park down the hill/​side and a little hike up the street.
For parents of toddlers, there’s a lovely rec center at the bottom of stateline with a nice playground.
We would not only recommend but hope to return next year!

Bought a trial membership timeshare by Worldmark by Wyndham. Spent $ 1800 and had points cancel without my notice. When I spoke with Wyndham they said there is nothing they can do as points have been purged. When I asked for a call back from a manager, I was told later that manager tried to call me but my voicemail was full. I checked my missed calls and had never received a call from them. I am disgusted.

I got to stay here for a week during the summer days of August. It was nothing but wonderful. We got here a little earlier for checkin and they were extremely accommodating to us especially after an 8 hour drive. They got us into our room as soon as possible. The room was on second floor that had no real view of the lake or the mountains but I was ok with that. We just walked over to the other building to see the view of the lake and sunset. Beautiful and breathtaking!
The room had a fully equipped kitchen… everything from pots and pans, spice packages, real utensils, fridge, coffee maker, toaster, everything you want in a kitchen… they had it. The bedroom was wonderful, nice and cozy. It was a one bedroom unit but this place sleeps up to four people because of the pull out bed. The bed was kind of crap though. took a while to get use to. Since we are in the mountains… there is no air conditioning. It is suppose to be cool but not this summer around 80s to 90s, so it was pretty hot. The bathroom was clean and spacious. Everything was wonderful for about the first 3 days. Then some giants decide to stay on top. They simply couldn’t walk normally but stomp all day and night. Very hard to be at ease when they are stomping above. I suggest you ask for the top floor so you don’t have to deal with that.
The staff here is wonderful, anything you needed they had. If you need more of something just ask and with graciously restock any of your needs. If you want to go down to the lake it is only a 6 mile drive or take the bus that takes you down to Harrah’s or Harvey’s.
–Give it a try if you want.

I am an owner. I use this resort when I cannot find any availability at the other resort — South Shore on Hwy 50 in Zephyr Cove. Don’t get me wrong it has a beautiful resort with an amazing view at Sunset. Friendly staff, clean amenities.
It is a trek to the resort. Its past the casino’s on the Nevada South Shore side and up the Kingsbury Grade and if you get car sick get ready, it’s kinda gnarly… well at least for 2 of the people I know.
We stayed in a 1 bedroom that sleeps up to 4 people. One bedroom with a queen bed and the other a pull-​out bed that is actually more comfortable than the one in the bedroom. probably because the bedroom bed is used more often.
As for all of the Worldmark Wyndham resorts I’ve stayed in they have a full kitchen with all your needs, just not high quality. Parking is tight because one spot per rental.

This is actually a very nice place but it is a little bit of a drive from the Casinos & main strip in Lake Tahoe.
Accomodations were great as usual but you have to be able to carry your luggage there are no elevators.
Definately will go again, love Tahoe!

My unit had a great view of the lake and the mountains. Rooms were clean and was easy to stay warm. The staff made sure we enjoyed our stay wish they offer discount deals for ski lifts but cant have everything.

It’s my folks timeshare, so I come here often when I’m up in Heavenly for boarding. This time my girlfriends and I went for a week. The way the Worldmark by Wyndham Timeshare works, is when you RSVP, you don’t get to choose the unit, so its purely by luck. Luck must had been on my side, we got the 2 bedrooms, on the third, top floor, corner unit, facing the South Lake Tahoe & the mountain, just simply stunning view.
This 2 bedrooms unit offers 1.5 bath, a full equipped kitchen service for 6, a dining table for 6, living room, balcony deck, 1 queen bed, 2 twin beds, and a sofa bed. I couldn’t be happier, this was the nicest unit that I’ve ever gone too. An outdoor pool but closed due to winter and an outdoor whirlpool up to 10 people.
What I love is the kitchen got full stock of teas, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper & 5 packages of spices! So i managed to cook for my friends 2 days!
Worldmark by Wyndham Timeshare is located in the Summit, about 2.5 miles to the main strip of Stateline where all the casino is at. If you don’t want to drive, Go Blue bus stop by the Worldmark every hour to take to all the casino or Heavenly Gondola. It’s so convenient.
After 4 days of not a single snow fall in South Lake Tahoe, on Thursday our wishes came true. Woke up with snowing out at the window, we ran out and tasted the fresh snow, then headed to Heavenly Gondola! Not enough powder to snowboarding, but we made the best of it! Then came back, watching the gorgeous breathtaking sunset from our window, life is good. I got my time with my girlfriends before 1 moved to Japan, the other 2 to LA. What great week it was DEC 10 – 16. We had a great trip because of everything got to offer at this timeshare.

This place is indeed better than I expected for the price during the holiday season (Christmas to New Years) and it was a timeshare that we rented out for about $ 150 a night. The location was about 10 minutes from the stateline on the Nevada side, and I actually rather liked it. It’s up on a little hill, so if you’re in building D like we were, go to the side of the balconies for some really stunning views of the lake and Heavenly. We were also less than a five minute drive away from Heavenly (Boulder Lodge ski lift).
The place is a good size for 4 – 6 people. There are two separate rooms in the back, two and a half bathrooms with good water pressure, a living room, dinning table area, and kitchen. The kitchen has everything you’d need… fridge, oven, microwave, dishwasher, sink disposal, and basic kitchenware. There’s a TV and DVD player, fireplace, and the couch pulls out to a full-​sized bed. The place setup is kind of apartment-​like with four different buildings from A to D.
The desk attendants were really nice, gave good advice with all the holiday and NYE madness, and provided sleds for us to use for a day. They also have a rec room with chess/​checkers, small arcade, air hockey, ping pong, and a mini movie theater setup. It’s not amazing and you pay for the arcade and air hockey, but nice that they offer it none-​the-​less.
I’d like to explore other options in the future, but this place is great too and I wouldn’t mind coming back.
