The Big House on the Lake.
An incredible stay for me and my husband plus our two pups. It’s private and peaceful and was a great space for our pups to run around. Pamela is a great communicator and responsive. The house has majority of the cooking essentials you’ll need. It was a great place to stay!

Cozy North Shore Lake Tahoe Cabin
This rental was just as described. We liked the separate space for kids in the loft and easy parking right out front of the house. Very convenient to town and Mt Rose skiing.
Tahoe City 3BR sleeps 8 close to Palisades Tahoe
We had a wonderful stay! Great location on the water and near the town and great restaurants. It was so lovely to wake up to the gorgeous lake view from the master bedroom in the mornings. Would definitely stay here again!

999 Lakeshore | Beachfront Ski Cabin | Tahoe (#47)
Cindy place was amazing! It’s located right next to the Hyatt which we did not take advance of (but wish we did)! It was very easy to get to Mt. Rose to ski every day. The place was very clean, and it had cable tv. We totally want to come back here next year for New Years and hope they will host us again!

Mid-Century Modern A-frame cabin by the lake
Laura was an incredible host. She responded promptly to texts and calls with the many questions I had. She was always very helpfull, very pleasant and accommodating. We were delighted with our stay.

Tahoe City Sunnyside, "Tahoe decor"
We stayed here for a couple of days and loved the place. It’s right in the middle of town, close to all the facilities and is very well maintained. Ron was very helpful and proactive and gave us good tips before and during our stay here Double thumbs up !!

Lake Views in 3bdr Family Home w/ Hottub
Took my mom for her 68th birthday along with my fur babies! The location of the home was perfect! Beautiful quiet neighborhood! The fact that it’s walking distance to the beach was a perk!The amount of snow that fell while we were there made it so much more magical! We definitely enjoyed the spacious backyard. The hot tub was amazing, especially during the snow fall! Omar’s home had everything we needed! Thank you again Omar for lending me your tool to help get our suv cleared of snow! Looking forward to book your home during the summer!!

Near Palisades, NStar, Lakeside, Hot Tub
It is a great place and a great location. This place is actually newer than we thought before from the photos.
Dog friendly vacation rentals in Lake Tahoe

#3*Private HotTub & Yard*Lake Tahoe*Reno <19 miles
very cute cottage so many cute little lights n everything felt like a nice apartment had many cool amenities the hot tub n outdoor was so nice

Aspen Ridge Central Truckee hot tub dog ok
The place was very clean and lovely. The hot tub was large and clean and easy to use. The location was also great because it was walking distance to a TART stop and a safeway so we took the TART directly back from Palisades one of the days. Would highly recommend.

Zephyr's Whisper! Views, Hot Tub, Yard, Pets Ok
We had such a wonderful stay with our two young kids and two dogs. The fenced in yard and amenities for the kids made it a very comfortable place for a family. Loved the stocked kitchen, kids toys and crib/high chair. Would definitely stay here again. Also the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful.

Dog Friendly Beadle Cabin Near Lake Beach & Dining
Chris let us check in early. That was much appreciated. We did not realize we could walk across the street to Gar Woods.. a restaurant we frequent when we visit Tahoe. The place was clean and matched the photos. We used all 4 bedrooms for our 3 families and enjoyed spending time together. We lucked out on both weather and traffic.

In the trees {Pet Friendly & HUGE fenced yard}
We were very pleased with our stay here. The hosts were very responsive and checked in on us. The backyard is huge and we enjoyed building snowmen there . It was a quick 13 min drive to the Heavenly slopes, super easy to get there.

Charming cabin fenced yard & private hot tub pet
We had a great stay at Marci’s house. Everything was as described. The location is great-so close to the lake & a short drive to Truckee, North Star etc. The beds were comfy & all appliances were very new. The big back yard was great & we enjoyed the gas fireplace. The only negative is the hot tub is in the backyard so a bit of a walk through the snow to get to it in the winter. Not a deal breaker but just something to note. Would stay again.

HOTTUB,Serene and quiet, walk to 🐶friendly beach !
Very spacious house, conveniently located close to Lake Blvd, providing a short drive to Kings Beach, Northstar, Tahoe City, and the Alpine and Palisades resorts. The house is quite spacious, with plenty of sitting space, a good kitchen and dining room space. There is room for 4 cars in the driveway, plus one or two in the garage (depending on your parking skills ;-), which is nice. My friends and I are already thinking of trying to rent this lodge again next year (although this review may make it more difficult...). We had a small issue with the hot tub -- it was perfectly usable (it is really big too), but the jets did not function correctly every time. This has been reported and given Madelyn's responsiveness, I am confident that this will be solved.

A Great 2 bdrm/2 bath fully fenced Remodeled house
Ali’s place was very comfortable and close to grocery stores and some good restaurants. He was a great host checking in on us and also flexible with checkout times , since we had a 2 day stay he offered a longer checkout till 2pm. We had a great time and loved this spot. It’s also very convenient if you are skiing at Sierra.
Lake side home rentals in Lake Tahoe

Lakefront Relaxation - Lakeland Village #622
This condo was the perfect rental for us for the weekend. It is extremely close to heavenly and all the hotels, there is a Whole Foods and Safeway near by, and you have a beautiful lake view! Our only complaint was that they told us we would get 3 parking passes, but the lobby only gave us two initially. However RnR had quick responses via text and they were able to get us an additional pass within the hour. They even dropped it off under our door which was very kind of them. We loved the rental and will be back!

Large Lake Home with STUNNING VIEWS - Sleeps 16
Love this place come here for the last 3 years

Close to ski resorts and walk to Sunnyside
We enjoyed our stay at Amanda’s cozy cabin. Comfortable with all the necessary amenities and a well stocked kitchen for cooking. Conveniently located nearby The Sunnyside & a new fav, They Shadyside (upscale Mexican food, great bar… owned by the same folks as The Bridgetender).

Beautiful Meeks Bay Bliss & Panoramic Lake Views!
We had a wonderful stay. The house is as beautiful as it looks in pictures, with a beautiful view of the lake. It was extremely clean and well stocked with supplies. Linda was a very communicative host and provided clear and detailed instructions for our stay. Would highly recommend!

Country Style Mountain Home - View of Lake Forebay
This is the second time we are staying at their place..so that tells it all. We really like the location and the house. I only wish there was more snow in the region when we went couple of weeks back. We are looking back for going back in next time.

Beach & Ski ~steps to Lake, 5 min to lifts. 4bd
Jeanie was wonderful and so responsive! She allowed us early check in at no additional cost. Check in was easy and check out was not burdensome. The surroundings were breathtaking, bedrooms large and spacious, bathrooms clean and everything including the kitchen was extremely well stocked. Though I did not bring my children on this trip I noticed a high chair and sleds that’s my kids would have greatly enjoyed. I highly encourage a stay here. The town near by has tons of activities including sledding, a gondola, skiing, shops, casinos, and spas. Truly a gem!

RHAPSODY LODGE -- Yours for All Seasons
Gary’s home was wonderful, from the start, check-in was easy and cleaning was visibly held to a high standard. The house was stocked with everything we needed and everything mentioned worked as intended. The location and neighborhood are great and would stay again without a doubt!

Classic Ski & Summer Fun Cozy Cabin PET Friendly!
This place is absolutely wonderful! The location is perfect, and the space itself is both beautiful and cozy—a great choice for families or couples looking for a getaway. June was an exceptional host—responsive, accommodating, and incredibly helpful. She met us at check-in, gave us a thorough tour of the property, and shared excellent recommendations for local restaurants, grocery stores, and nearby ski resorts. Despite our arrival being delayed due to traffic, June was understanding and flexible, which made the whole experience stress-free. I can’t recommend this place enough and look forward to staying here again soon!
Your guide to Lake Tahoe
Welcome to Lake Tahoe
It’s tempting to describe Lake Tahoe, with its glittering blue waters, as a jewel, but that doesn’t get at the size of it. Lofted high in the Sierra Nevadas, ringed by snow-capped mountains, and straddling the California and Nevada borders, Lake Tahoe is one of the largest lakes in the United States, and the second deepest. Renowned for its clear, fresh water, the lake is an important research station for scientists who study its ecology and a picturesque playground for every type of waterfront fun. Fishing, boating, swimming, jet skiing, and scuba diving are all popular pastimes here. And plenty of visitors are content simply to relax on its many beaches, in the shade of towering pines. Thanks to Lake Tahoe’s size, the communities surrounding it are varied: Chic bohemian enclaves, rustic cowboy outposts, and glitzy casinos all cluster near its shores.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Tahoe
For lakefront fun, summer is the high season to stay in one of Lake Tahoe’s cabin rentals, when the sun is high and hot and the cool alpine waters of Lake Tahoe are refreshing. The shoulder seasons of fall and spring also make for pleasant times on the water, particularly for boating and fishing. In winter the region transforms into a skiers’ paradise, with snow falling from December through March. During these months, the lake is a pretty backdrop for cold-weather sports.
Top things to do in Lake Tahoe
72-mile Scenic Drive
Start your journey at any point on the loop circumnavigating the vast lake for a chance to explore all the area has to offer. On your scenic ramble, you’ll pass historic homes, fascinating history museums, scenic overlooks, state parks, and characterful mountain communities, with gorgeous Lake Tahoe at your shoulder the whole time.
Tour Grand Homes
Long a destination for the wealthy, many of the grand estates that line Lake Tahoe’s shores have been turned into museums that you can tour. There’s the Ehrman Mansion, an opulent circa-1903 lodge built by a rich businessman from San Francisco, now run by the California State Park System. Thunderbird Estate, built in the 1930s, is notable for its stunning stonemasonry, ironwork, and woodwork. A short hike will carry you to Vikingsholm, a 1920s estate inspired by Scandinavian architecture.
Emerald Bay State Park
So named for its often vividly green waters, Emerald Bay is a postcard-pretty spot on the south side of Lake Tahoe. The area is home to striking vistas overlooking the bay, hiking trails, and the Vikingsholm estate. Just off the shore is little Fannette Island, accessible only by boat. Its granite face is covered in pines, and on top sits the shell of a stone tea house where ritzy vacationers of yore once relaxed.
