Lake Tahoe Vacation Resort (formerly Embassy Vacation Resort)

We are at the property as I write this. We are using the "hotel room" of the 2 room unit. We are in the newly constructed wing which is well furnished. The queen bed in the lock-off unit is very comfortable. The widescreen TV is of good quality although it is not using HD, only RCA plugs for input. Still, it swivels, allowing it to be viewed from every corner of the room. Sadly, there is no table for eating, just a log with a polished top that's 24" wide, even though the kitchenette has a cooktop, full pots/pans/dishes and a small refrig.

The lobby is well furnished, but the facility is 100% occupied today and you can feel it from the crowds.

Overall, this facility is very nice. The many restaurants from Denny's to Chevy's are within one block or so and there's a family bar and full restaurant across the parking lot with a Lake view that is an easy walk for anyone, including the handicapped.

The burgers from the on-site restaurant were ordered medium rare and came out very well to over done.

We walked about 1.5 miles to the casinos last night and found it relatively easy since sidewalks are pesent all the way. The beach and boat rentals are less than a block from the door.

Parking is either via valet or self-park, both free.

Overall impression, a very nice facility, close to the beach and ski lift to Heavenly.

I'm a new owner and like this property enouth that I will consider purchasing another 2 bedroom unit at the right price.

A welcome mix of location and great facilities.

We love the conveinence of having a shuttle to and from Lake Tahoe's casinos that runs almost 24/7. The resort has everything you could want, including a jacuzzi tub. If you get bored in Lake Tahoe, stop vacationing. There are the mountains, the lake, horseback riding, etc., etc. Plenty of shopping: Upscale to T-shirts.

We live in Florida and vacation here!

We have owned and stayed at this resort for the last ten years. It's clean, comfortable, and a great location. My husband has lung problems now and we can't go, but it's a great place with nice people.

We just returned from the resort. It is very nice. The staff at check in seemed a little overwhelmed. We did make a one request that was not met and we received a different excuse as to why it couldn't be met everytime we asked. We had a couple of two bedroom units which are very spacious. One had a beautiful view of Heavenly and the other had a view of the summer storage area and the trash dumpster so try for a room ending in 22 or lower. The casinos are within walking distance if you like to walk, the casino shuttle is not free as some have claimed. We did ski Heavenly but did not not use their shuttle so I don't know if that is free or not. Heavenly Village is just down the road, near the casinos,with lots of shops. Their are many resturants and bars close by as well, we did not try any of them because we cooked out meals in our unit. Overall it is very nice and we would definately stay here again.

Stayed here in summer. Check-in easy, staff friendly and helpful. Resort is beautiful, very short walk to lake, facilities clean and top-notch. Great pool area, bicycles available, fun activities. Our 2 bedrrom unit was EXCELLENT-clean, well maintained, beds comfortable and lay out great! King in master (and jacuzzi tub) and two doubles in second bedrrom. Kitchen well stocked-enough pots, pans, silverware for our family of 5. Didn't use outdoor BBQ area. Restaurant good-very convenient-esp with kids. Overall, 5 star vacation resort-will definately go back! Only thing that could have been better would be a lake view unit. Looks like it would be a great place to stay in the fall or winter also.

The resort was clean with things for kids to do. Definitely not a romantic getaway place. Restaurant needs to add a few things to the menu and expand their hours. Very small beach area to use.

We stayed at the resort twice before we bought a two bedroom unit. Every trip has been great. There is so much to do around the lake, including beaches, skiing, boating, gaming, live entertainment, horse back riding, hiking, and lots of dining. It a great area to visit!

The resort was fantastic! They had bikes to check out for free for 3 hours at a time we enjoyed riding along the beach and to the shops. They had many activities for both kids and adults. The location was wonderful.

On the lake, 1 mile to casino, 1 mile to Heavenly! Great facility and staff. Pool and exercise room spotless. Romm well maintained with great views. All ski shuttles board in front of resort. Must ski Kirkwood if you go to Tahoe!
