Situated along the state line between California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe is a large freshwater lake that is well-known for the clarity of its waters and the beautiful panoramic views of its surrounding mountains. As one might expect, it is a major tourist attraction and is filled with many restaurants, ski and golf resorts, and casinos. South Lake Tahoe, which is located on the southern side of the lake, in California, is undoubtedly an adrenaline junkie’s heaven. There is much to do here throughout the four seasons, such as skiing, water sports, and hiking in the mountains. If you have a pet and are bringing them along on your next trip to South Lake Tahoe, here are the best pet-friendly Vrbo accommodations you can choose from, during your stay.

7. Relaxing vacation home with a hot tub

Probably the best part of the house is the hot tub on the back porch, which is most ideal during the cold winter.
