Lake Tahoe

Our collection of Lake Tahoe vacation rentals hug the mountains along the North Shore, offering easy access to both skiing and beach activities. Choose from newly constructed condos with contemporary decor and ski-in, ski-out access to Northstar resort, log cabins with cozy wood-burning stoves and lake views, or timber homes with expansive decks and open living spaces. Many of our Tahoe rentals welcome pets, and a number lie within strolling distance of the beach.

As a guest of Natural Retreats, you’ll receive a warm welcome from our local team, who remain available throughout your stay. Ask them which ski resorts to explore after you’ve cruised through Northstar (Tahoe has more than a dozen!), where you can escape the summer crowds on the beach, or the best night for live music in Truckee. However you choose to explore Lake Tahoe, we’re here to make the details so seamless, your hardest decision is what to try next.

 

North Shore
Stretching from King’s Beach to Tahoe City, our North Shore vacation rentals offer the atmosphere of a beach resort town with the privacy of wooded grounds. Handpicked for their proximity to the lake and mountain-living features, our North Shore rentals range from private log cabins with wrap-around decks and wood-burning fireplaces to pet-friendly cottages with lake views. Many lie within walking distance of the beach, and all offer ample parking to easily explore the North Shore’s charming towns or hit the slopes at Northstar California.

 

Northstar
With 3,000 skiable acres of scenic, varied terrain, Northstar is ideal for families and groups with varied ability and comfortability on the slopes. Our Northstar vacation rentals range from cozy condos with private decks and hot tubs to log cabins with clubhouse amenities. Many offer ski-in, ski-out access to the slopes or are just a short walk from the lifts at the Village.

 

Cedar Crest Cottages
Nestled on forested grounds, a one-minute drive from Homewood Mountain Resort and 10 minutes from Squaw Valley, Cedar Crest Cottage offer a tranquil escape in the heart of Tahoe’s scenic West Shore. Originally built as a vacation lodge in 1933, Cedar Crest Cottages are a collection of boutique vacation cottages newly renovated by Bruce Olson Construction that overlook Tahoe’s West Shore. Designed by local firm Land to Living, the uniquely furnished cottages feature stylish décor, modern amenities and a tranquil mountain ambiance. With a variety of sizes and layouts to choose from, Cedar Crest cottages are ideal for couples, families, and large groups.

Due to high visitation and staffing constraints, local area offerings such as restaurants, bars, shopping, and shared amenities may have limited hours or availability. Cell phone and internet service may also be impacted during high visitation periods.

Please be advised that as we enter warm-weather season, municipalities and local homeowners are investing in infrastructure, construction and improvements that provide the best quality of life for local residents and visitors alike. Remember as you arrive at your travel destinations that any construction, traffic delays, or unanticipated noise is for the betterment of the community including increasing local amenities, improving beach and ski areas, and supporting the local economy.
