Parking

Staying at the Marriott timber lodge .

The resort is $35 per day parking valet only . Is there any other options to park in heavenly village that are cheaper ?

Good question. Yes — there *are* cheaper parking options around Heavenly Village than just paying the $35/day valet at the Marriott Timber Lodge. Here are some alternatives, plus things to watch out for:

Cheaper Parking Options Near Heavenly Village

  • City Parking Garage (Bellamy Court): This is the main public garage serving Heavenly Village. The rates are $1.25 per 20 minutes, with a daily maximum of $25. During evening hours (5 pm–3 am), the rate drops to a maximum of $5.
  • All-Day Lot at Village Center: Behind the Village Center (corner of Heavenly Village Way and Montreal Rd / Lake Parkway) is an all-day parking lot. The rate varies “based on demand and weather.”
  • Public Paid Lot (Behind Shopping Center): Also per Heavenly’s website, there is a paid public lot behind the shopping center across from Heavenly Village Cinema (same area as above).

Things That Make Parking Tricky

  • There is a Residential Parking Permit Program in the Heavenly Valley neighborhood. Some on-street parking spaces are restricted November–May, so you need to be careful about where you park.
  • Because parking demand is very high (especially when Heavenly is busy), the public garage *can fill up*, though some locals say there are often spots, especially off-peak.
  • During peak times (holidays, ski season), rates in the garage go up: holiday rate is $2.50 per 20 minutes, up to $50 for the day, and evening parking after 5 pm is $10.

Verdict / Recommendation

Yes — there *are* cheaper parking options than valet at Timber Lodge. The best bet for most people is to use the City’s Bellamy Court garage, especially if you’re okay walking a little from there up into Heavenly Village. Alternatively, use the all-day lot behind the Village Center. Just be careful about permit-only streets, especially in winter, and plan for parking to potentially cost more if you're there during busy times.
