The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe has 170 guest rooms and suites with an impressive selection of amenities, top of my list being the gas fireplace in every room. Even in summer time, Tahoe gets chilly after the sun sets. Rooms are spacious, allowing a spot for two comfy chairs in front of the flames. Guest rooms also have floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can take in the view and enjoy fresh mountain air. Eat dessert first. You’re on vacation. If you doubt my advice, head to the outdoor fire pit at 5 o’clock when nightly Marshmology sessions begin. S’mores will never be the same after surrounding a toasted house made marshmallow with three choices of chocolate and graham crackers. Marshmallow flavors like caramel, mint and raspberry change nightly, leaving you no choice but to indulge every night of your sweet summer stay. Dana’s stay was hosted by The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe, but as always Dana’s thoughts and opinions are her own. 74
