This is you’re guide to Lake Tahoe, the ultimate summer and winter vacation destination. Every year, literally millions of people from all around the world flock to the natural wonder known as Lake Tahoe to experience its beauty, drink in its small town charm, and get back in touch with nature.

One of the most captivating aspects of Lake Tahoe is the startling natural beauty of the area. As you gaze out of your window at the lofty pines and towering Sierras in the distance or splash in the pure, clean waters of the lake, you’ll feel a million miles away from the city. The 22-mile lake that is the bluest blue you’ve ever seen is the focal point, while the surrounding forests and 11,000-foot mountains serve as the incredible backdrop that completes this idyllic scene. You won’t find any skyscrapers, crowded city streets filled with smog and noise, or packed subway stations here in Lake Tahoe, and you won’t miss them in the slightest.

When you come to Lake Tahoe, consider making your escape from the city complete by renting a vacation home instead of a hotel room. We have hundreds of high quality properties available for rent throughout Lake Tahoe, and these cozy and welcoming homes will make your vacation extra special. Many are secluded to give you the solitude you crave, and others are conveniently located in condo complexes close to major ski resorts and other area attractions. Decks where you can enjoy your morning coffee in perfect peace, fireplaces that will warm you up and ignite your passion, private hot tubs that will relieve aching muscles, and kitchens where you can prepare full meals for your family are amenities included in many of our rentals. On top of all that, the cost of staying in a rental is often lower than the price for a room at a generic hotel! Do you still think staying in that overpriced, noisy, and cramped room is the best choice?

Even with great scenery and amazing accommodations, it’s still possible to get bored if you find yourself with nothing to do, but that won’t be a problem in Lake Tahoe! There are dozens of activities to enjoy here, from skiing at world class resorts, to snowmobiling, to sitting down for a few hands of blackjack at the local casino. During the summer months, you can be a beach bum, challenge yourself to an afternoon of rock climbing, or head off into the sunset on your trusty horse. These are just a few activities Lake Tahoe has to offer. With so many choices, your trip to Tahoe can be anything you want it to be!

The Washoe Indians, who were the first to inhabit this land, considered the lake and other area landmarks sacred. Once you get drawn in by the unspoiled beauty and naturally fresh mountain air, you might just end up feeling the same way. Long after you return to the city, you’ll find yourself dreaming about those sunshiny days and star-filled nights. One visit to Lake Tahoe is never enough.
