Embrace the Lake Tahoe lifestyle year round

Lake Tahoe is a destination that captivates in every season, offering a perfect backdrop for memorable luxury retreats. With its crystal-clear water, majestic mountain peaks, and dense forests, the area provides a compelling escape from the everyday.

A destination for every season

The beauty of Lake Tahoe is its constant transformation, offering a unique experience with each changing season. This year-round appeal ensures your second home is a gateway to new adventures no matter when you visit, making it ideal for luxury retreats. Heres a look at what each season holds:
  • Summer: Long, sunny days are spent on the water. Boating, paddleboarding, and swimming in the refreshing alpine lake are daily rituals. The surrounding trails also come alive with hikers and mountain bikers.
  • Autumn: The landscape erupts in shades of gold and amber, creating a stunning setting for hiking through aspen groves. The crisp air is perfect for kayaking on the calm water or enjoying a round of golf at a scenic course like Edgewood Tahoe.
  • Winter: The region becomes a snowy wonderland, home to world-class ski resorts. Days are filled with skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing, followed by cozy evenings by the fire.
  • Spring: As the snow melts, wildflowers blanket the meadows. It's a quieter time, ideal for peaceful hikes, fishing in rejuvenated streams, and witnessing nature's reawakening.
