Your Guide to Lake Tahoe Villas

Nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Lake Tahoe villas combine pristine nature with a simple, refined luxury. This results in stays that allow you to rest and rejuvenate while still enjoying all the comforts of home.

The largest alpine lake in North America, Lake Tahoe is over 2 million years old with visibility up to 70 feet. It was considered a sacred place by its original inhabitants, the Washoe Tribe. By the late 19th century, it also became popular with tourists thanks to its iconic sights like Emerald Bay.

Today, Lake Tahoe remains famous for its crystal-clear waters, towering pines, and mountain peaks. It’s a top-tier skiing and snowboarding destination in the winter while offering endless lake fun in the summer, including in Emerald Bay State Park.
