  This is a great place to stay, and the price is very reasonable. We took our children on family vacation and stayed at the Ripke condo. The location, ammenities, decor, and new updates to the condo make it perfect for a couple to get away, or a family vacation. We want to go back and plan far enough in advance to take advantage of this place again.

  Clean, well stocked, good location. Owner is helpful and responds quickly. Two bathrooms are key when on ski trip! Good water pressure, nice upgraded bathrooms, kitchen is well stocked, living room is comfortable, and big enough for everyone to relax in. Don't be fooled by the outside of the buildings, the area seems a little ghetto but that is how most of south lake looks. Inside is nice. It's not fancy but fits all your needs. Price is right!! The hot tub was was super foamy, like a bubble bath, when we were there(not sure if some kids soaped it or if they forgot the anti foam) so I can't comment on it. Wifi is slow but useable, don't plan on streaming Netflix or pandora etc. but fine for checking the ski reports weather etc. was nice to have a tv in master bedroom. Plenty of Linens and towels and extra blankets. Walls are thin, bring earplugs if u have a snorer in your group!

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Thanks for the positive comments on our condo. We are up twice a year to restock and clean and we think all of our upgrades have many guests coming back for future stays. Our upgrades for 2013 will include redoing our fireplace stone and moving our 46" HDTV above the new fireplace mantel. We are also replacing our sofa with a new queen sleeper and comfortable love seat. We have this to say on your remarks about South Lake Tahoe, being a "little ghetto". We love riding our bikes all over the south shore in the summer. The area varies, as some homes were built before the city enforced building codes. We think the city of SLT has a wonderful collection of log homes and updated vacation homes. On our way to Pope Beach during warm summer months we have never considered the South Shore to be a "little ghetto". I guess it depends on where you ride. You can ride from friendly Bavarian Village, through Meadow Woods, and then west through the Tahoe Keys with it's million dollar homes and their own boat docks. You will find more apartment buildings the closer you get to the casinos. We think South Lake Tahoe and Bavarian Village, with it's central location, offers all the comforts of home in a safe and clean mountain setting. The owners

  Our group really enjoyed our short stay here. It's clean, organized, and cozy. The location is very close to downtown, the lake, the gandola...It would be perfect if the heater was more quiet. Overall, this condo is definitely worth the price we paid!

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Dear Grace; Thank-you for your review on our condo! We will certainly check into installing a quieter heater fan the next time our heater needs service. Our forced heat does have to reach into the three rear bedrooms. With the three bedrooms doors CLOSED through the night, we have found our MB is so quiet you can hear a "pin drop". Again, thanks for your comments, --Greg

  We really enjoyed our stay here for a week. The condo is comfortable and was a good size given that we had five people here for the week. It's also conveniently located near Heavenly and basically all of South Lake Tahoe. The minor complaints we had were that the internet was very poor and didn't work most of the time and the hot tub was also a bit far from the condo, although it was so warm the week we were there that it wasn't a problem to jog there and back. All things considered, it was a great week except for the general lack of snow that Tahoe has had this year!

  We had a wonderful time at this condo. It was spacious & very comfortable. The view from the master bedroom was beautiful. The kitchen was stocked with about everything you need. (The potholders were ready for replacement though-very greasy.) It was quiet most of the time. We enjoyed the wi-fi too. Overall, we definitely plan on paying a return visit. We will recommend this property to friends & relatives.

  We enjoyed our stay in your condo. There were 6 ladies here for 8 days. It was convenient to Heavenly Ski Resort, shopping, the grocery store and all the action in South Lake Tahoe. The condo was comfortable, never ran out of hot water and there was plenty of room for us to hang out and relax after a day of skiing. They did a good job with snow removal considering we had 88 inches of snow the week we were there! We would recommend this rental, just keep in mind that it's on the second floor and the stairway is outside in the weather. They advertise a hot tub but it's on the other end of the complex, not very convenient and not well kept.

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Yes, there was a "ton" of snow during your visit, and our maintenance man was overwhelmed with his "snow removal" duties, i.e., keeping the snow off the stairways. This was a big job for the 18 buildings in the complex. I can assure you that the hot tub is well-maintained and in great condition 99% of the time. The hot tub is in the middle of the complex and is five buildings from the Ripke Condo. We chose our condo because of the unobstructed view of Heavenly you found so enjoyable and peace and quiet being away from the center of the complex afforded. P.S. Dianne we did replace our missing snow shovel

  The location of the condo was just right. Slightly away from the main street and nicely located in the trees. A short walk from the Lake and a short bus or car ride to Heavenly and the Casinos. The laundry was useful but could do with having machines that accept $1.00 bills as finding 4 quarters for every wash was not easy. The pool was nice as was the hot tub. I would highly recommend this property and would willingly visit again.

  We were pleasantly surprised when we stayed in this condo. Not only was the condo spacious, clean, comfortable, newly remodeled and nicely decorated, the management personnel were very friendly and helpful. I'm going to refer this condo to all friends and family that stay in Tahoe. It was nice to get away from the casino scene. The area the condo is in is so quiet, peaceful with squirrels running around. We also used the pool and spa close by, and both of those were very clean.

  This was a great place to stay! Great location, great price, great owners. One thing i would advise is maybe bringing your own towels as the ones provided by Bavarian Village are kinda rough on the skin. We definitely hope to return again. Homeowner Response: Hi Susie! Yes, we listened to a number of guest concerns about the rough towels provided by our former managers in Bavarian Village. We replaced their linens with our own in September, 2008.
