Wonderful - book it!
Thank you Linda for letting us share your beautiful holiday home, we had a wonderful week.
Reader's contemplating booking, read on....This place is absolutely fantastic. We were all wow-ed when we arrived. I don't think we were fully expecting it to be quite so clean, stylish Scandinavian and yet lovely and cosy. Perfect for our family of six - if ever the was a place where you say the pictures don't do it justice....
Our August booking was also a bit of a shot in the dark because we didn't know the lake Tahoe area at all, travelling from the UK, and weren't sure whether North or South was best (what about East and West???). Anyway, we lucked out staying here - because Tahoma is perfectly positioned for a wonderful week long holiday (or longer), close to what have to be the best bits of the lake. Once we arrived we started researching where to go... there are loads of activities you can spend your money on to keep the kids entertained nearby - Kayaking on the lake, rafting the trukee river, high ropes somewhere near tahoe city, squaw valley etc etc, however, when we went to the beach at Sugerpine we realised days were going to be great just doing nothing, but chilling out and letting the kids get into the zone on the beach. Frankly we could have spent everyday of the week at that beach.
We didn't however! We got up early the next day and walked the Rubicon trail (stunning!) seeing bears and beavers - also only 20 mins drive away from the house, and then spent the day on Calawee beach - perfect (our favourite beach probably). And then another day we went to Emerald Bay, again beautiful and so close by. We didn't even make it to Lester beach or Meeks Bay which were other beach options nearby - let alone travel north of Tahoe City or to the south of the lake - there was no need as there's so much to see and do nearby.
From a practical point of view, there's a reasonably priced supermarket about 15 minutes away in Tahoe City, along with restaurants and shops if you want a bit of R&R. And we did a couple of walks in nearby national park areas too.
So, if you're wondering whether to book, do so now! We had a wonderful holiday here, and you will too.
