Employee Housing

Our housing complex is located near the California Base Lodge and is apartment style living in either five or seven person units. Housing is assigned based on availability to persons who have been formally offered a position at Heavenly and complete a formal housing application.

Employee housing is located at 1100 Keller Road in South Lake Tahoe, near Heavenlys California Main Lodge.

• Housing consists of two-bedroom apartments with a kitchen and bathroom, either two or three people per bedroom.
• There is a $250 deposit per person and rent is $11.50 per day per person. This cost is automatically deducted from your paycheck. Prices are subject to change.
• Kitchen utensils are provided, however residents must provide their own bed linens, towels, and cleaning supplies.
• There is no housekeeping service.
• You must be 21 years or older to live in employee housing.

Important: To be considered for an allocation, you must give a commitment of at least three months. Housing is a benefit of continuing employment.

Community Housing

The majority of our employees live outside of employee housing. Unique amongst ski resorts, Heavenly is located in its local community - the cities of South Lake Tahoe, CA and Stateline, NV. There is a public bus service that runs through South Lake Tahoe that is free for Heavenly employees. The bus system also runs between our Nevada base lodges and various California locations.

Because of our unique location there are generally more housing options available as an employee of Heavenly than in most other resort locations. As a general rule expect to pay $300 - $500 per person a month for rent. It is common to have to pay the first month's rent and a security deposit upon signing. Many employees also choose to temporarily live in motels throughout the season. There are many motels that offer day to day, week to week and month to month rentals. Along with that, several motels offer season-long rentals so that employees can stay there throughout the season.

There are a number of resources available to help you find housing. Our local newspaper, the Tahoe Daily Tribune, has houses and apartments for rent listed in their classified advertisement section. Go to www.tahoedailytribune.com and click on classifieds. Searches under "rentals", "South Lake Tahoe" and "Stateline" through most search engines will bring up good listings of available accommodation in this area.

Below is non-exclusive list of agencies, individuals and motels that may have housing available. There is also more information located in the Human Resources department at the California Main Lodge.

You must bring valid identification to orientation, establishing authorization to work in the United States. A list of acceptable documentation can be found here.

Employee Ski Passes

Your season pass will be issued to you 1-2 days after you attend orientation. Your season pass is also your employee ID which you will use to clock in and out of work. You will not be able to begin work until you attend orientation, and you will not be able to ski or snowboard until you receive your season pass.

Paychecks

Employees are paid every other Thursday. On payday, you can pick up your paycheck in person from your manager after 2:00 pm. Bring enough money with you from home to cover your expenses for your first month in Lake Tahoe.

FAQs

Where is Heavenly located?

Heavenly is tucked in the heart of beautiful South Lake Tahoe. It is only blocks away from the Heavenly village, movie theaters, world-class casinos, an ice skating rink, shopping, gourmet restaurants, and of course, the lake! Its central location makes Heavenly the easiest resort for employees to access so finding a place to live and commuting to and from work should be of little concern.

Where am I going? How do I get there?

Reno/Lake Tahoe airport (RNO) is 55 miles (88km) from Heavenly. Visit www.renoairport.com/ for shuttle service information and driving directions.

Once in Reno, the South Tahoe Express will bring you from the airport to downtown South Lake Tahoe. Visit them at www.southtahoeexpress.com.

San Francisco International airport (SFO) is 200 miles (321km) from Heavenly. Visit www.flysfo.com for more information.

Once in San Francisco, the easiest way to get to Lake Tahoe is via Amtrack or Greyhound. You can visit their websites at www.amtrack.com and www.greyhound.com.

Once I am there, how will I get to work?

Heavenly has four base lodges with generous parking availability for employees. Don’t have a car? No need to worry.
