Dollar Point is the area along Lake Tahoe’s northwest shore, in Placer County, California, formerly inhabited by the Washoe Indians. Once called “Old Lousy”, it was owned by Lora Knight, who built the 1929 Vikingsholm Castle, now a significant landmark in the area. Robert Dollar purchased the land from her and renamed it Dollar Point. It’s popular for its unusual name and for its warm summers, snowy winters, and chilly rain. It brings out the nature lover in everyone who visits, with its beautiful Lake Tahoe scenery against the captivating backdrop of the Sierra Mountain range. Several state parks, ideal for camping, bike trails, golf courses, a bevy of outdoor activities, and rental apartments near Lake Tahoe are found. Though the terrain is rugged, the Vrbos provide the state-of-the-art conveniences needed for a luxurious stay. Scroll down to find the best Vrbo vacation rentals in Dollar Point, California.
