Lake Tahoe is one of my FAVORITE places to visit and I love that it is less than 2 hours away. Last month the kids and I packed our bags and headed to The Ridge Tahoe to relax and enjoy the scenery of beautiful Lake Tahoe before school started. I thought a trip to Lake Tahoe would be the perfect way to end their summer vacation.
Once we arrived at this Lake Tahoe resort we couldn’t wait to see where we would be staying. At The Ridge Tahoe there a variety of buildings that you can stay in that have different features and views. Our first trip a couple years ago we stayed in the Tower building which had an amazing view. For this trip we stayed in the Cascade building which had a neat view and was also close to some of the fun amenities of the resort like the spa room in our building.
Our vacation rental was a 1 bedroom suite that has a living room area, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, dining area and a balcony attached to the bedroom.
The living room area was really nice with plenty of space to relax. The kids enjoyed watching cable on the TV while I spent some time on the couch checking my emails and posting pictures online.
When on vacation I think having access to a full size kitchen is great. This kitchen had everything we needed from silverware, plates, cups and even a toaster. We stopped at the grocery store and stocked up on some food which saved us from having to leave the resort when we got hungry.
When I am on vacation I always have to check out the bathroom because relaxing is part of taking a vacation and I always look to see if it has a tub. I was excited to see that not only did this bathroom have a shower it also had a big tub with jets to make my own spa in our room!
My kids LOVE to swim and right next to our building was the Knoll Pool that the kids enjoyed. This area has the pool, spa and a sundeck all in one little spot. This is just one of the pools and spa areas at the resort that you can enjoy during your stay. At The Ridge Tahoe you will find another pool and multiple indoor and outdoor spas and saunas that you can also take advantage of.
On the top floor of the Cascade building is the spa room which includes an indoor spa with TV. Right outside the door of this room is an outdoor spa and a deck area for those who want to spend time in the spa with a view.
There are plenty of fun activities to take advantage of at this resort. The Ridge Tahoe offers a daily schedule of activities for adults and teens. They also have playground areas for the kids, miniature golf, outdoor pool table, a sports deck with basketball and pickball courts, an arcade, a ping pong room and more.
Want to spoil yourself? Get a massage at the Elevation Spa. Want to watch a movie during your stay? The Ridge Tahoe has a movie theater that plays two movies every night. For those that prefer to not cook on vacation you can find the Ridge Club Bistro that has delicious food for breakfast, lunch or dinner. If you happen to stay on a Wednesday or Thursday you can choose some fine dining at the Hungry Bear too!
What I love about staying at The Ridge Tahoe resort is that it feels like a home away from home. This place has some breathtaking views. It also has some great accommodations that allows you to have fun with the family in Lake Tahoe without even having to leave the resort.
