AROUND
Backing up to Sierra national forest trails to the top of Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows, the house is positioned within a short drive to the lake shores to enjoy the best of the region’s natural beauty and all season recreation. The former Olympic games venue of Squaw Valley features some of the best world class ski runs and a charming Alpine village of shops and restaurants. With four distinct regions, the lake has a little something for everyone. The busy, overdeveloped south shore is the gambling mecca with tacky casinos and a bit of shabby glitz while the north shore is a quiet residential outpost. The east shore is largely undeveloped and the west still has an old fashioned appeal. The stunning blue green lake at the center is worth the drive around to check it all out.
LOCATION
Lake Tahoe, California. Nearest Airport: Reno Airport (45 mins)
BEST TIME TO VISIT: Spring and summer are ideal for enjoying the lake while winter offers some of California’s best skiing through spring.
