The Ridge Sierra

This was rented to us on Airbnb by @ £385 for a one night stay. Pictures on Airbnb did not represent how bad this place was. A stinking brown, very tired ski apartment with extremely worn furniture. It wasn't worth £50 a night. We had a full refund from Airbnb. We would avoid at all costs unless you are Californian boys skiing and just want a bed for a few nights. The whole place stunk and had not been cleaned, and the beds had not been changed. Zero stars really.

The best pet place we have ever had! The lovely unit was so welcoming for us dog lovers. The adorable dog themed art was so fun. We couldn't believe that there was even a dog couch. Right outside the door is poop bags & trash. It meant so much to us to take our River with us. I stayed a second week in another unit at 299 Olympic ct. It was carpeted instead.The units are spacious & well maintained. Nice linens. Decent furniture, etc. The outside needs sanding & painted but it doesn't bother anything. We especially enjoyed our enclosed patio. I spent a lot of time out there planning my next vacation. The top of the building has a hot tub, bbq & table. It also has a lovely view of Carson valley. I got stuck, unable to get out. The operator asked another resident to come & open the heavy metal door. The next day, I saw that there was a button on the wall that released the door.Andrea was very kind & patient with me.., We enjoyed eating at the Bistro at the Tahoe Ridge. My brother enjoyed the gym. It's really beautiful & upscale over there. It would be a great tradition to come here every year. It's a great place. All I can say is that the unhappy review people did not have the units I did,

Virtual check in is easy just pick up the phone in reception and they guide you through it. Lovely rooms with an open fire and a balcony with views to die for. The Jacuzzi in the main bathroom was perfect after a busy day on the Lake, it the resort is about ten mins from the main area of all the restaurants, shops etc so very quite and restful just what we needed to combine a busy vacation with a retreat to relax in the evenings. We will definitely be back here we didn't want to leave!!

Not really sure how to explain the experiences we had with Ridge Sierra. We are actually owners there. My husband purchased it a very long time ago but have not been back in over 20 years and never in the summer. I was stunned that it was so run down, and dirty, had bugs. The first room had dead moths in the lamps, on the floors, walls were banged up - furniture was torn. It looked like a number of areas had not been updated since we were there 20 years ago. The check in is awful. You wait, with a sign and then after a while this person appears on a TV screen and you pick up the phone next to you and that is how the check in is done. No live person any place to help you.Odd.
