South Lake Tahoe is one of the most beautiful places to ski, snowboard, sled, hike, go to the spa, gamble, or just relax. Lake Tahoe is truly a year-round destination with something for every member of the family. The 4-star Marriott Grand Residence Club resort is the premier Lake Tahoe destination.
The Marriott Grand Residence Club is located at South Lake Tahoe's Heavenly Village and is immediately adjacent to the Heavenly Valley Ski Resort gondola. It is a 2 minute walk to the casinos and shows (Harrahs, Harveys, Montblue, and Horizon casinos) at Stateline, Nevada. South Lake Tahoe is an easy drive from the Reno/Tahoe airport.

This includes times during the busy summer and winter seasons as well as the more relaxing spring and fall seasons. Though Heavenly Village condo rentals are available directly from Marriott, you can save 30% or more by renting directly from the owner.

Lake Tahoe Facts
- Lake Tahoe is the
highest lake of its size in the United
States and the largest alpine lake in
North America.
- Lake Tahoe is as long
as the English Channel is wide with the
width of Tahoe being half again as wide
as San Francisco Bay.
- With one dispersion
of Lake Tahoe's water, the State of
California would be completely covered
to a depth of 14.5 inches.
- The Panama Canal (700
feet in width and 50 feet in depth)
could be filled by Lake Tahoe's water
and extend completely around the earth
at the equator, with enough remaining in
the lake to fill another channel of the
same width and depth running from San
Francisco to New York.
- An average 1,400,000
tons of water evaporates from the
surface of Lake Tahoe every 24 hours,
yet this drops the lake level only
one-tenth of an inch.
- If the water that
evaporates from the lake every 24 hours
could be recovered, it would supply the
daily requirements of a population of
3,500,000 people.
- Lake Tahoe's water is
99.9% pure. The water is so clear that a
10 inch white dinner plate would be
visible at 75 feet below the surface.
- There are 63
tributaries draining into Lake Tahoe
with only one outlet at the Truckee
River.
- Lake Tahoe never
freezes due to the constant mass
movement of water from the bottom to the
surface. In February 1989, Emerald Bay
froze over for the first time since
1952.
