Explore Lake Tahoe Vacation Rentals

Perched in the Sierra Nevada Mountains between California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe is a huge alpine lake surrounded by pristine wilderness. During the warm and dry summer season, Lake Tahoe is a wonderful place for hiking, mountain biking, boating, fishing, and swimming. The surrounding Sierra Nevada is filled with nature preserves and excellent hiking trails. Take the whole family for a horseback riding adventure, or head out on the lake in a rented motorboat. Golfers will enjoy the lake views from Edgewood Tahoe, one of four golf courses on Lake Tahoe's south shore, while the kids will love an inner tubing adventure down the Truckee River.

Snowy yet temperate winters and gorgeous mountains have made Tahoe one of the most popular ski resorts in the United States. Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Heavenly Mountain, Homewood, and Kirkwood Mountain are among the many famous mountains that ring the lake. Most of these mountains boast miles of trails and views of the lake from the lifts, as well as other winter activities like snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and sledding. Winter or summer, Tahoe is perfect place to enjoy the outdoors, where the soaring mountains, alpine forests, and clear blue water create a majestic backdrop to any occasion.
