Stardust Lodge

Thin, crispy pies by the fountain, with live music on a lot of nights and a Thai curry pizza for the adventurous.

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

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

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

An all-suite resort near the Heavenly gondola, with more room than a regular hotel room.

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