In the past, settlers in Genoa, the oldest town in Nevada, came here to find gold. Today, there’s still tons of exploring for families to do, from biking and hiking the trails right off property to hitting nearby ski slopes or venturing north to Reno casinos. Once you see those scenic mountain views, you’ll feel like you struck gold, too. Nestled near the Sierra Nevada Mountains and Lake Tahoe, our historic David Walley’s Resort offers a cozy retreat from all your nearby adventures. This hot springs resort has a heated swimming pool, and five natural mineral hot springs. It also features our rustic, yet elegant 1862 Restaurant & Saloon, which offers creative meals with a Southwestern flair, fitting for any meal of the day, along with gorgeous mountain views, casual dining and a bar lounge. If you can pull yourself away from the resort, you’ll find picturesque scenery all around Lake Tahoe. Experience views on Heavenly Ski Resort’s gondola ride, which takes you 9,200 feet up Mount Heavenly. See stunning sites at Emerald Bay State Park. David Walley’s mountain resort has spacious, condo-style studios and one and two-bedroom villas, along with two- and three-bedroom cottages, from 346 to 1,300 square feet. Each villa features a full kitchen/kitchenette. Please note there is a resort fee that includes a variety of onsite amenities including the Hot Springs.
"We have got downgraded from a one bedroom villa to a studio room when check-in and as this is a timeshare property so there’ll be sales trying to lure you into their sales presentation during the check-in process.
On the service side, the service provided is very basic like a Holiday Inn Express with no daily housekeeping. The hot spring which suppose to be the main attractive part of the resort (as they’re one of the few with natural hot spring from Lake Tahoe area) turns out to be a very simple pool and it’s far away from the accommodation area which take a bit of walk outdoor without shelter.
Finally, the resort is 30mins away from the main Lake Tahoe area so it’s a bit inconvenient for guests visiting the Tahoe for other activities than the resort.
In summary, I would not recommend this accommodation as there’s definitely a lot of better options in similar price range."
