It’s quiet up here now.
For those of you who have wanted to enjoy some peaceful time at Tahoe then between now and Thanksgiving is made to order for you. Traffic is light and you can go to just about any place and be virtually alone while you relax, connect with nature, or whatever.
For the most part the weather is ideal. Mid to upper 50s during the day and upper 30s to low 40s at night.
So…what are you waiting for? Come on up.
Lake Tahoe and Thanksgiving.
Have a big feast you’ve prepared in a home, condo, or townhome rented from Tahoe Vacation Rentals. Or, if you prefer, eat out at one of the many restaurants on the south shore.
Good food surrounded by the beauty of Mother Nature at her best. What more could you ask for?
How about skiing? Most ski resorts try to open by Thanksgiving weekend. It hasn’t always happened but with the advent of snowmaking the probability is good. Even better than good.
Check the Tahoe Vacation Rentals website now and give us a call…or book online.
Well…it’s November 1st so we thought we’d tell you a little about what to expect on this blog.
First and foremost…frequent posts to keep you informed on what’s happening up here at this beautiful lake in the sky. You will notice we actually began this several days ago.
Additionally, we want you to know a little about the history of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada Mountains, so we’ll include some of that occasionally.
How about some interesting and fun day trips you can make? Spring wildflower reports? Best spots to see fall foliage? Neat places for a picnic? We’ll tell you about them all.
One more thing. We enjoy living up here at this wonderful mountain lake and we will do our best to pass some of that joy on to you, so don’t be surprised to see an occasional tall tale or some bit of zaniness designed to make you smile.
We, the staff at Tahoe Vacation Rentals, love you all.
Most golfers who have visited Lake Tahoe are aware of the many extraordinary courses available here. The only problem is that when the snows of winter set in all those challenging fairways and greens are buried for months under several feet of that cold white stuff.
Ah, but all isn’t lost for the avid golfer because there exists a group of great courses just down the mountain in Carson City and the Carson Valley that are open year round.
Called the Divine Nine, they are easily accessible from your Tahoe Vacation Rental via US 50 over Spooner Summit or State Route 207 (Kingsbury Grade).
Give their website a looksee: The Divine Nine
Great news! This couldn’t wait for November 1st.

Over on Interstate 80 at Donner Summit, Boreal Mountain Resort re-opens this weekend and will be in operation 7 days a week thereafter.
In addition, most of the South Shore casinos will be offering Halloween parties on Saturday night.
Come on up this weekend and have a blast. For great lodging be sure and contact Tahoe Vacation Rentals and ask for a Halloween discount.
Hi folks. Just a short note to let you know that beginning November 1st we will begin frequent posting on this blog.
We intend to make this a place where you can get useful information to help plan and enjoy your trip to this beautiful area.
So, you’re staying with your 3 kids at your vacation rental in Tahoe, and you want to treat your spouse to a romantic candle-lit dinner in your dining room overlooking the Lake. How do you get some quality time alone, without worrying about the kids? Send them on a vacation within a vacation at the Tahoe Kids’ Camp.
Kids’ Camp has been showing kids a good time at Lake Tahoe for over 15 years. They take groups of 15 kids for 6 hours during the day, or 4 hours in the evening on hikes around like Tahoe, to swimming pools, bowling alleys, arcades, and more. So, your kids can have their fun while you have yours.
What we like most about Kids’ Camp is that it’s not just a babysitting service: it’s an experience kids get excited about having. Getting a little alone time is just a bonus for us parents! We know our vacation rental guests value flexibility and Kids’ Camp gives you just that.
Lots of people know about Lake Tahoe’s crystal clear waters, but did you know that there’s a famous hot-spring resort just 20 minutes away from its south shore? Walley’s Resort hosts 7 natural mineral hot-spring pools, a spa, and some of the best dining and wine in the area. In its 135 year history it’s hosted both Mark Twain and Clark Gable, so it’s the place to go if you want celebrity caliber relaxation.
Mineral infused water heated beneath the earth’s crust bubbles up to the surface into 7 different pools. You can relax in these pools in the shadow of the High Sierra Mountains, and enjoy a steam room and dry saunas.
Walley’s offers both Swedish and deep tissue massage as well as a whole menu of facials, including a couple just for men!
Wine Spectator magazine has given Walley’s wine selection an award of excellence. They offer 300 wines, 34 by the glass. The contemporary American cuisine is some of the best around too. In addition to the regular menu items, the chef prepares a new special entrée every night using the fresh ingredients at hand.
