Marriott Timber Lodge, South Lake Tahoe, CA - Review
This is not exactly a full review, rather a thread we can discuss about the Timber Lodge. I will write a full review when I get back from here. 
I own WorldMark credits, and using which we got a flexchange for Marriott's Timber Lodge in beautiful South Lake Tahoe. Checked in last night. The casinos are just a few steps away and the gondola for Heavenly ski resort is right outside the resort. Marriott's Grand Residence is on the other side of the Heavenly gondola.
They have free valet parking, but the parking costs $17 per day if you choose to park at the resort. This is a very busy place. The front lobby etc. are always buzzing with activities. Minimum 2 people manage the concierge desk.
The "Fire & Ice" restaurant is on-site, and looks like a really fun place.
The resort has a very large heated pool (open during Winter) and 3 or 4 hot tubs. The last of the buildings is being completed, but we haven't noticed any construction noise (may be because we are farthest away from that building.)
We are staying in a 1BR unit with full kitchen. Our unit has the view of the driveway, and since we are on the 2nd floor, the over hanging over the driveway blocks any view we may have of the lake. (Note to self, next time ask for a unit that is higher up!)
The unit quality (furnishings etc.) is somewhere between that of a higher end WorldMark unit and that at the FSA. There is free WiFi in the unit. I think we may also have wired internet available in the unit.
Shopping (including Raley's super market) is available just outside the resort.
I have taken several pictures, but left the card reader at home, so it may be a while before I can share the pics.
Although it is just a few days to Thanksgiving Lake Tahoe are has no snow! We see minuscule amounts of snow on the higher peaks. It doesn't look like there would be any snow even for Thanksgiving.
This is a fantastic resort compared to even WM South Shore. I would highly recommend exchanging to the Timber Lodge or Grand Residence, especially during snow season!
