Lake Tahoe April 2011

Lodging
Stayed at the Wyndham South Shore in Zephyr Cove as part of the Wyndham "Discovery Vacations" (1 year trial timeshare)
  • Location: just a couple miles north of Stateline, across the street from Safeway
  • Accommodations: 2 bd with full kitchen, W/D, balcony - remodeled in 2009
  • Review: Would definitely stay here again - very nice rooms, full kitchen is great, hills for sledding in the winter, walking distance to grocery store is nice, rec room (ping pong/pool) is a bonus.
Food
  • Brook's Bar at Edgewood Golf Resort: Nice spot right on the lake and the menu is interesting (calamari, garlic fries, soups, salads, burgers, etc.) - and the food is almost as good as I wanted it to be. Plus it's a bit pricey ($50 for lunch for me, Wendy and Kaiya). Could go back, but not dying to go there. [Yelp review]
  • Forest Buffet at Harrah's Casino: $18.95 brunch buffet paid for by Total Rewards points - buffet is not great but totally worth it. [Yelp review]
  • Stateline Brewery: Burgers, pizza and pub food in convenient location right at Heavenly Village / Marriott Timberlodge resort - but food is fairly mediocre. Don't need to go back. [Yelp review]
  • Eating in: A couple, simple meals eating in (steak & mashed potatoes, mac & cheese and chicken apple sausage) made easy with full kitchen.
Activities
  • Sledding: Small hill great for kids behind one of the buildings at the Wyndham.
  • Casinos: Poker at Harvey's.
