Lake Tahoe

Outdoor adventure and a world-renown mountain resort await you at a Lake Tahoe bed and breakfast.

Whether you’re skimming across the water, racing down the slopes, or watching the performance of a Shakespearean play, Lake Tahoe’s clear blue waters provide the alluring backdrop to a range of activities. Take a gondola ride to the top of the mountain. Hike, bike, or ride horseback along the Tahoe Rim Trail. Ski, snowboard, or snowshoe in the winter. Water ski, kayak, or fish in the summer. Catch a live theatre performance or concert. Explore a North Shore destination such as Carnelian Bay or Kings Beach. Each year boat fanatics from around the country ascend on Carnelian Bay with their classic woodies to the Concours d’Elegance wooden boat show. Kings Beach is a great place to sit back and enjoy the beautiful and relaxing splendor of Lake Tahoe. The area features restaurants, specialty shops and vendors. On the South Shore of Lake Tahoe is the must-see Emerald Bay State Park. Declared by many as their favorite Lake Tahoe destination, Emerald Bay provides some of the lake’s most beautiful views and is a true natural wonder. Bring your camera and prepare for a great family photo. The South Shore boasts other choice Tahoe destinations including South Lake Tahoe and Zephyr Cove, both popular tourist areas for dining, as well as DL Bliss State Park, a great place for a day of intense hiking. After a fun-filled day of Tahoe recreation, unwind in the hot tub of your bed and breakfast inn and gaze at the stars or the falling snow.
