Many people who stay in South Lake Tahoe vacation rentals are visiting Tahoe for the overall experience, including art and culture. Downtown South Lake Tahoe has numerous art galleries, especially in the Village Center (located a couple of blocks from the casinos on the California side). The galleries offer paintings, sculpture, jewelry, glass art, photography and much more. There are also a few restaurants and clothing stores if you’d like to make a day of it!

Thursday, February 25th, 2010Enjoy a Scenic Gondola Ride… and Tubing!
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010If you’re looking to add some “fun in the snow” to your South Lake Tahoe vacation, and you’re not into skiing or snowboarding, Heavenly has a great tubing hill at Adventure Peak (at the top of the Stateline Gondola). New this year, the tubing hill has five lanes of fun and is over 500 feet long with a 65-foot vertical drop! Riders must be more than 40 inches tall to ride. And while you’re up there enjoying the sun and snow, you can also enjoy a bite to eat at the Smokehouse Grill at Adventure Peak!
The cost for the tubing hill is $30 per hour and you will also need to purchase a ticket to ride the Gondola.

Snowshoeing in Lake Tahoe
Monday, February 1st, 2010Many of our Lake Tahoe rentals back to, or are very close to, US Forest Service land which is a great area to do some snowshoeing. It’s a wonderful way to get a more “closeup and personal” experience with our High Sierra scenic beauty, and it’s a pet friendly activity too. There are numerous trails around the Tahoe Basin (for all levels of expertise) if you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, and Kirkwood offers lunchtime, sunset and full moon snowshoeing treks if you would feel more comfortable having a guide.
