Tahoe Edgelake Beach Club — Hotel in Incline Village-Crystal Bay

We deeply regret our decision to invest in a timeshare with Tahoe Edgelake Beach Club. Over the past 35 years, this has proven to be one of our most disappointing and financially draining commitments. |The issues began with misleading promises. We were assured maintenance fees would remain stable, yet they have surged significantly, leading to financial stress. Transfers require exorbitant fees and involve external companies, creating a cumbersome and inflexible process that only adds to the frustration. |Booking preferred resorts has been a major challenge. Availability is often a problem, forcing us to either alter our plans or settle for accommodations far below acceptable standards. On several occasions, we’ve encountered resorts in poor condition, with cleanliness and maintenance so inadequate that we’ve had to vacate. |Advertised amenities frequently come with hidden fees or are entirely unavailable, further diminishing the value of this ownership. To make matters worse, we were misled into adding our children to the deed under the guise of a "legacy benefit." What seemed like a thoughtful idea has instead become an unnecessary and burdensome obligation. |Personal circumstances in the past five years, including a divorce, have made rigid vacation scheduling impossible. Consequently, we’ve been unable to use this timeshare, yet we are still compelled to pay exorbitant fees with no return on the supposed "investment." Adding insult to injury, when we sought advice about selling the timeshare, a representative at the resort admitted it would be a pointless endeavor. Imagine being sold a product with no exit strategy, trapping you indefinitely. |After decades of skyrocketing costs, continuous frustrations, and broken promises, we are now seeking to cancel our timeshare contract. The deceptive sales practices and chronic issues tied to this timeshare have caused us significant financial and emotional strain. |We strongly urge potential buyers to think twice before engaging with Tahoe Edgelake Beach Club. This has been a deeply regrettable experience, and we hope others can avoid the challenges we’ve endured....

We stayed here for a week in a 2BR 2bath unit. Although the resort is older, it is well-maintained in general. It is right on the lake, with private beach and dock, swimming pool, BBQs, etc.||Our first issue was on check-in. My husband has mobility issues so we are careful when booking sites to make sure there are ground floor units or elevators. Well, there were no ground floor units available and no elevators! To complicate things, the 2nd floor units are all 2 story: that is, main living areas are on the 2nd floor, bedrooms/baths on 3rd floor. This was not going to work for us! I will say, the office staff worked to try to accommodate us and found us a unit with a bedroom/bath on the 2nd floor and the extra BR/bath on 3rd. Additionally, they requested maintenance carry up our luggage, coolers etc. So we were able to meet my husband’s needs and still enjoy our stay.||Next issue was climate control in the unit. There is no AC, which most of the year is not an issue due to the mountain climate. However, this week was unseasonably warm (temps near 90). Only some of the windows in the unit open, and one window crank was broken, so it was impossible to get a cross-breeze to keep temps comfortable. We finally begged for a fan from maintenance. With the fan and keeping the door open, we were able to keep it more comfortable.||We were in unit 20 which is closest to the highway. Which meant with the windows open for ventilation, it was extremely noisy due to the traffic on the road. If possible, request a unit closer to the lake in hopes it would be quieter.||Despite all this, we had a very good time here and would probably come back—if we could get a ground floor unit away from the road. The staff is generally very helpful and friendly and the location is terrific. There is a grocery store just 500’ away, lots of nearby restaurants, Kings Beach and Sand Harbor are close, and plenty of parks and trails for hiking and outdoor activities. The North Shore in general is so much quieter than South Lake Tahoe and the...
