Lake Tahoe is one of the most visited vacation destinations on the planet, and for good reason.  Read on to learn more about this scenic gem and why it’s an ideal destination for families, couples, and groups of all sizes.

The Natural Beauty…

Mark Twain perhaps said it best when he described Lake Tahoe as “the fairest picture the whole earth affords.” The splendor of this pristine area is deeply moving, and something that must be experienced firsthand to be truly appreciated. A 22-mile lake with astonishingly blue, crystal clear water, pristine, unspoiled forests, and mountains that stretch to heights of 11,000 feet – it’s a scene so perfect it could have only been painted with Mother Nature’s brush.

The Activities…

If you have a willing spirit and are open to new experiences, you’ll never be bored in Lake Tahoe. During the summer months, sun worshippers will love stretching out on the soft white sand of Tahoe’s unspoiled beaches, while daredevils will adore navigating challenging biking trails or intense white water rapids. In the winter, Tahoe is transformed into a skier’s paradise. Skating, snowmobiling, and sledding are other popular winter activities, and any time of year is perfect for visiting the spa, going shopping, or savoring some world class cuisine. There’s always a relaxing, awe inspiring, or spine tingling activity to keep you busy in Tahoe!

The Accommodations…

For many, an essential part of the Tahoe experience is getting away from the noise and crowds of the city. It’s a chance to enjoy some solitude, to discover the simple pleasure of being able to hear yourself think. Unfortunately, this can be difficult if you’re staying in a cramped and noisy hotel room. There are vacation homes in every major area of Lake Tahoe, and they are a great alternative to tiny hotel rooms. Many of these properties feature hot tubs, video libraries, decks overlooking the forest, full kitchens, and cozy lofts. Discover the difference between a one-of-a-kind home away from home and a generic hotel room for yourself.
