4.91 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviewsCreekside Retreat with Hot Tub & 3min to Slopes
Wonderful, spacious home with a lot of luxury touches which made it extra special for our celebration weekend and easy access to the lifts at Palisades. We enjoyed the multiple living spaces and hot tub and found the kitchen to be equipped for all of our cooking needs. The beds were all very comfortable and suited our guests well. While we had some minor issues during the course of our stay our hosts were very responsive and resolved them to our satisfaction. We would definitely stay here again with a big group on our next visit to Palisades. Thanks for a great stay!

5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviewsPenthouse Residence, The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe
Couldn’t recommend this host and location more! This is an ideal rental and location to experience Lake Tahoe in luxury and comfort. Aaron went above and beyond. I wish every host were as responsive, accommodating, and thoughtful as he. I would highly recommend this penthouse condo! Perfect for a family vacation or trip for a few friends. You get access to the hotel amenities while staying in a fully stocked home. Best of both worlds. Don’t miss out, book this location!

Chalet in Truckee
5 out of 5 average rating, 41 reviewsSugar Pine Estate
This place is so nice that we are already planning to stay at this property again. It was wonderful. The view is like something from a postcard. The house itself is perfect. Not only is it very nice, clean, modern, etc … But it is also very usable. The architects and builders really thought this part out nicely. We are a family of six with kids ranging from 10 through 22. There was room for everyone to have their own space if needed, and the common areas were able to fit all of us comfortably. Honestly, I would have paid more and still thought I was getting a deal. I highly recommend it. Great kitchen too. The hosts were very kind as well. I misunderstood the checkout time and they were very accommodating. (The checkout time is at a normal hour. I just wasn’t paying attention.) If I could give the place more stars, I would.

5 out of 5 average rating, 6 reviewsLuxury Lakefront 5 Br Home Hot Tub Arcade
This place is absolutely amazing! It is much bigger than it looks in the pictures, especially the kitchen. We had a group of 14 of us come up to North Tahoe for a ski weekend and we were all very comfortable. The house is well stocked with all towels, linens, cooking utensils, etc. There are thoughtful touches throughout the home and plenty of spaces to store your belongings so they are not in the way. The driveway has plenty of parking for large vehicles. Better yet, the hosts are extremely responsive. We had an issue in the kitchen and we quickly came to a resolution within an hour, no waiting around and derailing our vacation. I also want to thank the hosts for their flexibility and customer service. We’d love to return one day!

Home in Tahoe Vista
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviewsLuxury Tahoe Vacation Rental w/HotTub & Lake Views
Our group of 6 adults and 6 kids had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home. Located in a private neighborhood, it was well-equipped, clean, and beautifully decorated. The layout was perfect for our large group. The house provided plenty privacy and comfort while making our group feel welcome and cozy. The highlight was the stunning Lake Tahoe views from multiple rooms—watching the sunrise from the living room was unforgettable. We had a minor issue with the door lock, but the property management team was very responsive and quickly provided a physical key. After a snowstorm left the driveway icy, they also sent someone to clear it promptly. Overall, an amazing stay with excellent customer service. We can’t wait to come back!
All about Lake Tahoe
Planning a vacation in Lake Tahoe
Famous for being one of the few places in the world where you can ski and swim in the same day, Lake Tahoe is the largest Alpine lake in North America, covering almost 200 square miles and crossing the state line between California and Nevada. It’s also extremely deep - so deep that the Empire State Building could stand on the lakebed and be completely submerged. Tahoe draws visitors from all over the world for its excellent skiing and its wealth of summer activities in equal measure.
There’s really no bad time to visit Lake Tahoe, where 300 days of sunshine per year comes as standard. The winter months see an average of nearly 4ft of snow and fairly mild temperatures, while average summer temperatures stay around 80F.
The closest airport is Reno-Tahoe, which has direct flights to almost every major US city airport. From further afield you’ll need to transfer from an international flight at one of the major hubs before taking a domestic flight up to Tahoe. Alternatively, you can hire a car and drive the three and half hours from San Francisco.
Ski to your heart’s content
Lake Tahoe boasts a dozen ski and snowboard resorts, so you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to a winter vacation here. Some of the most well known (and also those within close reach to the airport) are Northstar, Alpine Meadows, and Squaw Valley. Each has something different to offer.
Northstar
Northstar is the most luxurious of Tahoe resorts, with excellent dining and shopping options and even heated sidewalks in the village. The resort village was built around an open-air ice rink which lends the place a movie-scene quaintness. Over 60% of the trails here are blue intermediates, and there are green runs too, which means Northstar is great for non-expert skiers who are confident on the mountain. Don’t be fooled, however; if you do want to challenge yourself you’ll find a variety of ungroomed black diamond trails. Our well-located Northstar rentals are a great choice for families or groups coming to the resort – the majority of our comfortable suites are just a few minute’s walk from the ski lifts and close to bars, restaurants, and shops.
Alpine Meadows
Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley are owned by the same parent company and operated as one resort with a single lift ticket – although you need to use the resort’s shuttle buses to move between the two, and we don’t recommend trying to ski both areas in the same day. Alpine is popular with families and local skiers and has a more relaxed down-home feel than Northstar. It’s another option that will delight confident intermediates, as well as those who want to push themselves to try a few black runs. Absolute beginners will not find a huge range of terrain to try.
Squaw Valley
With miles of true expert runs, Squaw Valley played host to the 1960 Olympic Games and has been welcoming experienced skiers ever since. Expert options aside, it’s probably the best resort in the area for beginner skiers too; there’s a designated beginner zone that is quite expansive and has lovely views of the lake. Last but not least, there’s also a blues-only area, so Squaw Valley makes a great choice for a mixed-ability group looking for a ski vacation with options to keep everyone happy.
Summer activities in Lake Tahoe
Tahoe is not all ski all the time – a summer vacation here makes a whole lot of sense.
Paddleboarding on the lake
Hiking and biking the Tahoe Rim Trail 165 miles long and circling the lake in its entirety, the Tahoe Rim Trail winds over ridges and peaks offering incredible views over the surrounding landscape. You don’t need to plan a mammoth trip around the entire distance – the trail is easy to access for short day hikes. Mountain biking is welcomed on roughly 50% of the trail too, so if you’re more comfortable on two wheels you’ll still have plenty of terrain to enjoy.
Hit the fairways
Tahoe has a number of championship golf courses, from the famous North Lake courses like Coyote Moon to Edgewood in the South. Coyote Moon offers challenging golf and uninterrupted views of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. You’ll play alongside the water at Trout Creek and enjoy fields of wildflowers and plenty of fresh mountain air. Built right on the lakeshore, Edgewood also has plenty to challenge you, with greens wedged between the lake and in-built ponds as well as tricky bunkers.
Experience the luxury of our Lake Tahoe cabins
Whether you’re looking for a traditional-style log cabin on the banks of the lake, or a stylish apartment close to the ski lift, our warm and welcoming Lake Tahoe rentals have a lot to offer.
North Lake Tahoe Accommodation
Close to golf courses, ski hills and the Reno/Tahoe airport, our North Lake Tahoe rentals are ideal for a quick getaway in the great outdoors. Our spacious mountain lodges have outdoor areas with BBQs, hot tubs and more. Some are built right along the lake with easy access to swimming, paddleboarding and more, while others have play equipment that will keep the kids amused for hours. Sleeping up to 14 people, there’s room for the whole extended family to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
Cabins in West Lake Tahoe
Surrounded by unspoiled forest and close to the Sugar Pine Point state park, Tahoma and the ski resort of Homewood, our West Lake Tahoe cabins are ideal if you’re looking to get back to nature, with a few added creature comforts. With lake access and even some homes with private docks, if you love to get out on the water you’ll be right at home here.
