The Ridge Tahoe

We just returned from a week stay at the Ridge. We rented our week here at Redweek.com. We were in the Plaza bldg. on the 6th floor. The condo was very nice, sleep number beds in both bedrooms (the second bedroom was a lock out), laundry in the unit, fireplace, etc. It was very clean and we didn't have any of the issues other reviewers had with checking in, staff, finding the resort, etc.

It snowed pretty heavily on Easter night and so we didn't have to put our chains on the car, we used the BlueGo shuttles and the resort shuttles. They were great, complimentary and came about every 10 minutes. We took them to the Boulder Lodge at Heavenly for our kids ski/ride lessons. We also took them into the casinos, the drivers told us where to wait and the best ways to get around.

My only complaints with the Ridge were in the spa/pool/locker room/fitness room area. The resort was crowded (it was our spring break) and the ladies locker room is very tight. Two of the four showers in the locker room did not work. There wasn't enough room to move around getting dressed or getting in and out of your locker. This is also the only rest room for the indoor/outdoor pool and the fitness room.

I did a few spa treatments and it is a little disjointed how you walk through the fitness room (after coming down stairs from the locker room) to go into the spa waiting room with racketball going on next door (all while you are in a spa robe and slippers). My massage and facial were great, but the atmosphere was not very spa-like. The locker rooms and spa could be upgraded.

My husband and son reserved the indoor basketball court a few times and they enjoyed that.

The Hungry Bear restaurant was good when it was open...I think Thurs-Sat. The deli was also decent, but it closed during the week from 2:30-5:30. We did get a take and bake pizza from the deli and it was good.

All in all, it was a great stay. You are truly on the ridge of the mountain. Beautiful views over the Carson valley and the surrounding mountains. It was especially pretty after the snow and everything was covered in white.

I would stay there again.

We have stayed a this resort for two times recently. We traded through RCI & Interval International. We love the Ridge, and each time we got a chance to stay at the different building. The first time, during the Christmas week, we got to stay at the Naegle Building. It is an old building, but my husband and my son loved it because they have a big terrace. The second time we got to stay at the Plaza, a newer building. Overall we had a good experience there. The Resort is clean and well maintained. We love to come back again, and hopefully we can stay at the different building. I would recommend this Resort to everyone.

I just came back from a couple of nights I rented at the very last minute through Redweeks and stayed in a Tower studio (#1605). I'm in escrow for a 2 bed unit, also in the Tower, and can't wait to return.

The Ridge Tahoe is not only the best in Lake Tahoe but at the top of our list anywhere!

We own the Naegle (summer months) and Tower (EOY) Prime.

We have traveled many places and had some nice places and have yet to stay in one nicer than the Naegle or Tower buildings at the Ridge.

Its on top of the mountain between Lake Tahoe and Carson City.

It is great too because your away from the main town area and you are within a 10 minute drive and your at the casino's and lake!

Love the Ridge Tahoe and the Naegle and Tower units!

During the summer (Naegle) most of time July 4th week and enjoy large patio and Tower unit in colder months with its little four foot patio.

We own two units only because we just didn't want to trade and not spend week here.

I've stayed here 5 or 6 times and have enjoyed it each time. I prefer the Cascade building as they are the newest buildings.

We have been here in the winter and played in the snow with the kids -- not big skiers. We have also been here during the summer and played in the pools. Definitely something for everyone.
