Penthouse Residence, The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe

Summary:
This Penthouse Residence is located on the private top floor of The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe.

The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe is the first and only AAA Five Diamond mountain hotel in California. Located mid-mountain at Northstar.

The Space:
This Penthouse Residence is located on the private top floor of The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe.

The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe is the first and only AAA Five Diamond mountain hotel in California. Located mid-mountain at Northstar and offering unparalleled luxury, service and convenience during all four seasons, this is a property for those that desire the ultimate getaway or family vacation.

The hotel, built in 2009, features beautiful architecture throughout. Amenities include a 17,000 square foot spa/fitness center, exceptional dining options at Manzanita and the Backyard BBQ, a wonderful children's program, and much more. Located steps away is a seasonal gondola that takes you to the Village at Northstar that features a 9,000 square foot ice skating rink during winter (roller skating during summer), and a variety of dining, entertainment and shopping options.

During the winter season, experience the convenience of ski-in/ski-out luxury in the middle of the mountain at Northstar. Your boots will be waiting for you at the ski concierge, with your ski’s and poles placed for you on the snow so that you can ski directly onto the mountain in moments.

During the summer months, Northstar and the Lake Tahoe area serve as an incredible outdoor family playground. Hike right out the backdoor, or take a 15-minute drive to the Lake where opportunities abound. Two championship golf courses are a short drive away.

The Neighborhood:
We've been lucky enough to travel extensively, and we couldn't find another place anywhere that had the combination of incredible mid-mountain location, luxury, convenience, spa/fitness facilities, dining, service and more.

Getting Around:
You can enjoy a relaxing family breakfast in the residence in the morning, ski through lunch during the winter or bike during the summer, enjoy a bite to eat at the the Backyard BBQ, enjoy spa time in the afternoon, take the gondola to the village for some ice skating (roller skating during the summer) or shopping, enjoy delicious complementary marshmallows and s'mores, have your kids time in the game room while you have a drink in the lobby bar, and spend the evening playing games or watching a movie together in the residence ... all without ever getting in a car.

This was such a splendid experience

This penthouse was worth much more that the cost. It was an exceptional place, and my family really enjoyed it. I will encourage everyone who wants a once-in-a-lifetime experience to visit this penthouse. It is worth the money. The host, Aaron was phenomenal.

Fantastic stay and great host

Decided to go there last minute and host Aaron was very responsive and accommodating. Place was spotless and it’s a very easy access to ski. Great atmosphere at the hotel. Nothing to complain about. Aaron also checked with me several times and asked if there is anything needed. He is a great host

Absolutely perfect

My family and I could not be more thrilled with this property. The location and resort itself are truly second to none. The private residence on-property is the absolute perfect option for a family (or friend group) that desires all the amenities of a world-class brand like the Ritz-Carlton with the added bonus of privacy when desired. The property owner (Aaron) is incredibly responsive and constantly in communication to ensure a terrific visit. We've used VRBO properties consistently, including several in the Lake Tahoe area. This listing is truly A. Many, many thanks to Aaron and the incredible staff at the Ritz.

This is an amazing property that books for less than the same apartment through the Ritz - and you get access to all the same amenities - and the pantry is well stocked of all the essentials you could need for your ski vacation. I literally have nothing bad to say about this condo, it is that good!

Perfect spot

The location is great even for non-downhill skiers. We cross-country skied, snow-mobiled and backcountry snowshoed. This place is at the center of it all. The condo is very comfortable - the heated floors in the bathroom say it all. The owners were great - slight snafu at the check-in process was graciously handled and all was well. Because this isn't a Ritz-Carlton rental, the front desk needs confirmation from the host and the hotel staff hadn't gotten it (but the owner had sent it.) Everyone couldn't have been nicer and it made absolutely no difference to the overall stay which was fantastic. We would definitely come back!

This property is beautiful, a great location right on the mountain for ski in ski out all Ritz amenities. Spacious 3 bedroom with fun every convenience of TVs, stocked with dishes, laundry, etc. I have to mention the host though, he went above and beyond to make our stay great and he succeeded.

Beautiful property and location

Great way to celebrate my wife’s 40th birthday. The hotel was really nice and they treated us with top notch hospitality. Aaron, the property manager, was very attentive to our requests and made every effort to make our stay something to remember. Our friends and family were impressed as well. Our 2nd night we brought our boys up to enjoy it, the bunk beds were a hit, the arcade on the lower level of the hotel also was a great addition. We spent some time both days in the heated pool and hot tub. Cooking was easy with cooking supplies at hand, and they had multiple choices for coffee makers, our favorite being the barista style coffee maker. Well appointed rooms throughout. We would definitely love to come again.

Great property….GREAT host!

Of course you can never go wrong with the Ritz nor can you go wrong with the penthouse in the Ritz. What really set this apart from other experiences we’ve had at other locations is Aaron was unbelievable. He was so proactive and very caring to make sure we’re having a good time and everything is taken care of. We fully intend to come back and he was a huge difference maker. I/we highly recommend this property!

Great Long weekend

This is a beautiful property on the 6th floor/penthouse level. We have stayed at the Ritz many times before and this residence is amazing! Aaron was awesome from right after booking until the day we left. He made sure everything met expectations and beyond. Very easy to contact and quick reply for all questions. Bonus of "endless" amount of Smores provided by the owner. We will definitely be coming back to stay. Bunk beds were awesome for our 7 and 9 year old kids.

A great property and a great owner!

Our family likes this Ritz property because of it’s fantastic mountain location but we now love this property because of unit 609 and it’s owner. Everything is in great shape and Aaron makes sure you feel like you are in a home - not a rental. The property came fully-stocked with many basics (like coffee and all the fixins’ for s’mores), is well-kept, has charging stations everywhere (to handle any groups’ needs) and when we did have a minor problem, Aaron was incredibly responsive - solving the problem with distinction. Thank you Aaron for a wonderful break! We will definitely be back!

Excellent property & exceptional owner. Deserves 4.5 stars but the system does not allow it.

The owner went out of his way to be helpful and be accommodating - it was much appreciated. Property is exactly as advertised and pictures are accurate and current. Actually its much nicer than the pictures and the service is what you would expect of a Ritz property. All three bedrooms were sizeable with plenty of closet space. Living room was of excellent size. The daily housekeeping, room service, ski concierge, etc is exactly what you wish for in a holiday. Although it was part of the hotel, this is a full fledged apartment so you never feel you are confined in a hotel room. Reason for the 4.5 and not 5.0 rating is (1) the hotel really only has one restaurant so after a while, if you do not want to go to the Village or drive, you are restricted and (2) the apartment overlooks the back of the resort (facing the Village gondola) which does not get much sun and so so views. Nevertheless, if I am coming back to Tahoe with my family, I will be looking to book this same apartment again from Mr Lamstein. Great time and great memories! HBG

BEST THANKSGIVING EVER!!

My Family and I were looking for a nice place to spend Thanksgiving 2015. I found this and thought it was a little too expensive. I searched and searched and kept coming back to this Property. I decided to Splurge and treat my family and myself to something nice.. WOW! Nice doesn't even come close to describe it. Amazing, Spectacular, Crème de la Crème! Would be a better description. This had EVERYTHING! The owner Aaron is Great and easy to work with, and has taken all the hard work out of renting. This had everything we needed and more. We were even able to cook a Full Thanksgiving Feast. The Ritz Accommodations are top notch. Ski-In Ski-Out is literally what it means, then they valet your board or skis and even put your boots on warmers for you. Anything you need just ask, The Ritz and this Property has Everything you and your family or friends could possibly need. One lesson I learned is that the Ritz has its own Lift ticket sales and board rentals, no need to go to the village and wait 2 hours in lines to get what you need! Must Do's: If you have kids do the free S'mores at 4:30, Use the floor warmers in the bathrooms, call valet before you go ski or snowboard and they will have you stuff waiting for you in the snow ready to strap in and go, get access to the club lounge for at least 1 day! This went down as the Best Thanksgiving my Family has had.. :) The Collins Clan will be Back! Thank you Aaron, Joe Collins & Family 2015
