Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe

An enclosed gondola ride up Heavenly Mountain with an observation deck overlooking the whole lake.

Ice cream folded together with your kid's pick of mix-ins on a frozen stone slab, right in front of them.

Eighteen holes about the lake, with a windmill driven by skis, a bear that chomps golf balls and a paddlewheeler to putt past.

Wood-fired pizza and burgers, indoors or out, voted the best kid-friendly restaurant in Tahoe.

Kitchenette suites with a separate sleeping area, which is handy with little kids.

A fire pit on the deck with the s'mores makings set out, and family rooms with loft bunks over the queen beds.
