Tahoe Seasons

I just exchanged into Tahoe Seasons for New Years week, a 1BR sleeps2/4 unit. I figure it will be an adequate base camp for sleeping, and not much else. Probably my husband, 17 yo son, and the 8 yr old boys will go. Will they suffer too much from the small size of the unit? There are no reviews here, the reviews OY are mixed but everyone mentions the small units. I have until midday tomorrow to cancel.

I just looked at these a few weeks ago. The unit is tiny, not to mention very oddly set up (bathtub separates the bedroom from the living room, which is really a small sitting area). No way for 5 of you, sorry.

Just 4 guys

It would be the 4 of them. DD and I don't ski and would do something else for a few days.

2 on the bed, 2 on the sleeper. Very limited kitchenette, NO UTENSILS (how weird is that?). No floorspace for the younger ones to play, run around, etc...

Otoh, it is in the best location possible for the ski school at Heavenly, which is at the California Base Lodge, across the road. There is a nice bar onsite, probably a restaurant, but check to be sure.

I think I'm going to keep it, as I am afraid a larger unit will not come up (using my 1BR Inverness) and renting anything, even a hotel room, is exoensive New Year's week. I will just tell the guys it's a studio. Then they will be pleasantly surprised to have the separate little sleeping area for the boys.
The next little obstacle is that I pulled the Inverness unit out of TPI when I saw the exchange sitting on II. II will probably try to confirm availability with Inverness today. I hope they figure it out and appropriately confim. I will call them as soon as they open to explain, but they were not too good at confirming availability when I briefly deposited this unit in RCI.

Confirmed for TSR

I just want to add that TPI immediately cancelled my week spacebank when requested, and Darlene at Inverness was able to rapidly confirm the availability of the week for II, making it all happen. Now I am quite sure that the delay in confirming this week previously into RCI (it took 3 tries and 3 weeks) was not the fault of the Inverness staff , but some glitch in RCI.

I'm glad to hear that Inverness and TPI service was good; and not at all surprised to hear about RCI...

As for the trade, if I weren't going to stay with them, I'd easily put my guys in there for the location. Your strategy of telling them it's a studio is a good one; it really is more of a studio anyway.
