1. Villa De Lago (from USD 1250)

Spend your holiday in rustic opulence at Villa De Lago. Arguably one of the best places to stay in Lake Tahoe, this lakefront rental boasts a private dock and stony shore where you can fish, swim, as well as launch watercrafts. Unwind in the deck lounge after an outdoor adventure, warming up by the fireplace while you sip your favorite beverage or spirit. You can also detox in the sauna and then take a soothing soak in the hot tub.

On a clear day, fire up the grill and enjoy a barbecue cookout with the entire family. Indoors, the cathedral ceiling and numerous windows create an airy and refreshing space. Play some pool on the loft, or show off your culinary skills in the chef’s kitchen.

This exquisite apartment near Lake Tahoe features two-bedrooms. One room has a queen bed and the second, in the loft, has two twin beds.

If you’d rather be outside then the covered balcony will be a perfect choice, particularly if it is barbecue season. The kitchen is open-plan and it has a dishwasher included.
