Marriott's Timber Lodge

Mountain Comfort Meets Music Vibes in South Lake Tahoe

Modern lodge-style suites meet alpine charm at Marriott's Timber Lodge, set right at the base of the Heavenly Ski Basin in South Lake Tahoe. Surrounded by the Eldorado National Forest, this cozy retreat offers a relaxing, woodsy atmosphere just minutes from top entertainment venues and lakeside nightlife. With fully equipped kitchens or kitchenettes, free Wi-Fi, and a welcoming communal vibe, it's a smart pick for concert-goers looking to blend nature with nightlife.

Why Concert-goers love it

After catching a show, you'll appreciate the peaceful forest setting that helps you wind down. The hotel is within walking distance or a short ride to local venues, bars, and restaurants. Flexible check-in from 4:00 PM helps late arrivals, and while checkout is at 10:00 AM, the laid-back vibe makes mornings easier. The concierge desk is a huge plus for getting insider tips on local events and live music.

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Fire and Ice grill serves up lunch and dinner with a social, interactive vibe—great for pre-show bites or post-concert meals. While there’s no 24-hour room service, the fully equipped kitchens or kitchenettes in each suite make late-night snacking easy. Several walkable dining options nearby offer everything from casual bites to upscale fare. There’s no formal breakfast service, but a quick meal in your suite or nearby cafés gets you going after a late night.

Nightlife Options

Whether you're looking for an after-party or a low-key nightcap, the hotel is just a short walk or ride from South Lake Tahoe’s lively bar scene. While there’s no on-site live music, nearby lounges and pubs often feature local bands, DJs, and late-night drinks. For a more chill vibe, the cozy lodge atmosphere makes it easy to unwind with friends.

What People Say

Areas for Improvement

The 10:00 AM checkout can feel a bit early after a long night out, and some guests mention that the common areas can get busy during peak seasons. Room views vary, so not all suites have scenic forest or mountain vistas.
