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.

Hot Spring Pools

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 for just $20 a day.

Spa

Walley’s offers both Swedish and deep tissue massage as well as a whole menu of facials, including a couple just for men!

Wine and Dine

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.

While you can ski Heavenly Ski Resort until May 4 this year, it’s already warm enough to start golfing in the valley below! So, come up and enjoy the Tahoe tradition of skiing in the morning and golfing in the afternoon. Here are our 3 favorite courses for spring golf in Tahoe:

Genoa Lakes

Offers two award winning courses for golf connoisseurs, or people who just love a truly beautiful golf course. The Lakes Course is a links style through scenic wetlands and the Carson River. The Resort Course runs across the rollicking Sierra Nevada foothills, challenging its players’ distance and power, but offering beautiful views of the Mountains in return.

Eagle Valley

Offers two courses as well. The East Course is flat, wide open, and perfect for beginning golfers and their friends. The West Course kicks it up a notch, featuring abrupt elevation changes and water hazards that will challenge your accuracy.

Carson Valley

This course criss-crosses over the Carson River under the shade of beautiful cotton wood trees. You’ll be hitting across water on nearly half the holes!

Genoa Lakes and Carson Valley are just a 30 minute drive from Heavenly, and Eagle Valley is about 45 minutes. Did we leave one out? Let us know what your favorite Tahoe-area courses for spring golfing are!
