North Lake Lodges & Villas

This property advertised that it was waterfront. In fact it was at least 25 minutes walk to the water and most of the beaches nearby were private, and we couldn’t access them. The hot tub was in cold and dirty. Also, there was supposed to be a pool, however we did not find one. Accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the location was near a lot of shopping and dining.

Needed some additional cleaning of floors and table and chairs in dining area uncomfortable and wobbly. Also dishwasher not connected to frame and overhead light in main living space not working.

Our stay at North Lake Lodges and Villas in Incline Village was a mix of very pleasant experiences and some frustrating moments. Here's a breakdown of the pros and cons of our visit: **Pros:** - The villa was incredibly spacious, well-equipped, clean and beautifully furnished. It felt like two separate one-bedroom apartments, which provided plenty of room for privacy and comfort. - The beds were very comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. - The location is fantastic, being very close to some of the most beautiful bike paths around Lake Tahoe. Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who love biking. **Cons:** - There is no onsite management, which posed several inconveniences. To check in, you have to go into a small office and speak to someone remotely. On day 6th of our stay we were surprised to find workmen were let into our unit without notice and were checking on the fire alarm system. We called the management office and they said they had tried to warn us and left messages on the landline. However, one of the landlines wasn’t working and the other one had no messages. On the first day, we were moved. Perhaps they had called the wrong villa. ??? - The WiFi was a major issue. When we first arrived, the internet was spotty and then it completely stopped working for most of our seven-day stay. We reported the problem to the offsite management company. They told us since they are 45 minutes away, it was our responsibility to call the internet company. We were given an 800 number, and after a frustrating lengthy call, the issue was not resolved. The call seemed to be outsourced, and the representative was unfamiliar with the resort's system. The WiFi connection was restored on our last day. Therefore, if you need reliable internet access for business or personal use, you'll have to use the library in town. - Despite these issues, shout outs are deserved for the friendly maintenance man, Dan, and Ully and the housekeeping staff, who were helpful and kind throughout our stay. Overall, while the accommodation and location were fantastic, the lack of reliable internet and onsite management were significant drawbacks. If these issues are addressed, North Lake Lodges and Villas could be an exceptional place to stay.

Photos looked good. Talked to another couple who has been there many times. I think they are members of the Timeshare at The Lodges and Villas. I guess it's just for the Timeshare members only. Tried many dates....couldn't get in.l couldn't even get the cost per night. Forget it....will go someplace else.

Very clean and comfortable rooms. We had the 2 bedroom villa which turned out nice being our teenage daughter had the downstairs all to herself. Everything for making meals they had there minus a few small things. And jacuzzi tube was great.
