Rooms are great and a step above. Staff is super helpful. The view is pretty. Need to come back during winter.....and I live in the mountains normally, but it's pretty here. Would live to hit the shops being so close to the resort.

The resort is great I just wish there would be signs for all the restaurants and for the fire pits to work. We had 8 of us find a fire put outside of Petra that was not working. We asked the people of Petra how to turn it on and they informed us that this pit had not worked since last winter!?! Apparently it was not their fire pit but they have asked numerous times for the repair since guests like us repeatedly go to them and inquire. We pay good money to be here for these supposed amenities to not work. I would have given a better rating but little issues like non-working fire pits and lack of sinage for restaurants is the bare minimum a resort can provide. I suppose the silver lining is we bought a great bottle of wine at Petra - so thank you for having this restaurant.

Beautiful Resort with a strong Christmas Village vibe. They were busily getting ready for busy season. Crisp air, warm fires and your honey. Feels like home.

Fit our desires perfectly. The facilities were very nice, and the location was well situated between Truckee and the lake. Easy, quick access to both, which was surprisingly useful. We also made good use of the excellent trail system on the property, which allowed everything from a quick, level stretch-of-the-legs, to a 5+ mile loop with substantial vertical. Restaurants within 1-2 minute walks were very convenient. Icing on the cake was an expensive view of the surrounding mountains. Wonderful all around!

Place was amazing had a great time with my son. Just what the doctor ordered...some guy time. It's not close to any shopping centers. There is one store and the charge an arm and a leg for stuff so make sure you hit the safe way in truckee so you have food in your room. Pool was great and the movie theater is cool. Only bad thing is that there many seats and you reserve for your family only. You cannot walk into someone else's movie...staff was cool also.
