We stayed here twice in the spring this year. Loved its location and it IS perfect for a ski in ski out experience. Though I think palisades Tahoe does not advertise itself as a family friendly resort, the red wolf lodge has made up for it. It is under 3 min walk to the kids ski school, making the dropoff experience like a dream. My child loved the lodge, the hot tub, the club house. Will add more details later!

Loved our 5-night stay at Red Wolf Lodge. Our 2-bedroom unit was great for our family and fully furnished. Front desk people were very nice and helpful. It took about 20 min to drive to Tahoe City/ Lake Tahoe or Truckee for groceries or better variety of restaurants. I would stay here again.

Great place to venture out to the many areas around the Lake Tahoe area. Our Timeshare at Red Wolf Lodge is 1 week every odd year and Summertime, no Winter. I book the last week of my time slot which is a week after Labor Day. It is crowded enough then, I couldn't imagine being there during Labor Day.

I love staying here for my ski trips several times during the winter. Welcoming staff, charming and comfy rooms and facilities, such as exercise bikes and hottubs, Clubhouse where they also do a welcoming breakfast. Great location with village shops, and not far from downtown Truckee.

We have stayed multiple times at Palisades. This facility had very comfortable beds and pillows. The black out curtains were better than other facilities. Because it was not in the village it was much quieter than The Village. We have already reserved for Next April.

The outdoor hot tub was 30 feet from my comfortable room. Another hot tub (or two) was nearby. Just past the hot tub was the gate to the slopes. 30 feet from the gate was the Red Dog Express Lift. The Palisades Village with shops, restaurants, and bars was a 2 minute walk away. Location doesn’t get much better than that!

I recently spent two nights on the 3rd floor. The staff entirely consists of wonderfully warm, down to earth, friendly people. You can tell that they enjoy their jobs, and get along well. The view was a mix of spectacular and partially blocked by some buildings, and some intensely bright lights on the backside of an ajoining property. It took away from some of the view, but I still enjoyed it far more than the views at most places. The location was incredible! We shared a parking lot with The Village and Aerial Tram. And we really did have a near perfect view, just block out the buildings with your hand. The in room fireplace was awesome, and the furniture and interior design of the room was truly beautiful and welcoming. The lodge really put a lot of care into the little details to ensure comfort and a sense of home. Additional details: Gas fireplace (on a timer that lightly ticks) Wall heater/AC/fan Large window that fully opens Sliding glass door to patio Bathroom heater (very loud) Bathroom fan (very loud) Ample Bathroom lighting Jacuzzi tub (very loud) Large shower head Nice toiletries Very large, fluffy towels (6 sets) Beautiful, stone bathroom floor Soft tap water (tastes amazing, and my skin and hair loved it) In room water heater Fully stocked kitchen with just about everything that I needed (bring your own tupperware/storage bags, and foil) Full sized fridge with ice maker Stove Oven Dishwasher Toaster Microwave Coffee maker Electric kettle Comfortable couch (with sofa bed, but I did not pull it out). Comfortable glider chair TV with many channels and dvd player Dining table Comfortable bed Ample storage throughout Beautiful room entry with stone floors, bench, and coat hooks. Dresser/entertainment center with storage Balcony with chairs and side table Beautiful furniture (absolutely stunning wood craftsmanship) Clubhouse with fireplace, indoor/outdoor games, large kitchen, couch, TV, gym, sauna, showers, restrooms, three outdoor hot tubs. dvd's, books, games to borrow for room Free bikes to borrow Very short walk to the main attractions of Olympic Valley A short bike ride to many beautiful views Con: The room was quite dusty. Clean, but very dusty (everywhere but the dining table and bed). The couch and couch pillows were so dusty that we had to put a blanket over it. Dust ontop of the fridge, in the corners of the bathroom, on the ceiling fan. It was a bit difficult to breath because of it, so I kept the window and slider open the majority of the time. There was a lot of seasonal construction happening nearby, so the dust was likely due to people leaving the windows open. Go figure.
