Hotel at a Glance: Tahoma Meadows Bed & Breakfast Cottages

Tahoma Meadows Bed & Breakfast Cottages sits at the western edge of Lake Tahoe—a quiet, unspoiled side of the lake that harks back to the region’s early days. Its guests stay in charming red cottages surrounded by towering pines just steps from the water.

• Cottage amenities: Each cottage is unique, but all have fireplaces, private entrances, and private baths.
• Family-style breakfast and afternoon snacks are served in the common room daily.
• Traveling with animals? The B&B won a “Golden Bone” award for its pet-friendly services.

Lake Tahoe’s West Shore: Quiet Retreat amid Acres of Forests

The west shore of Lake Tahoe is relatively undeveloped compared to the bustling north and south shores. At Sugar Pine State Park, you can embark on hikes or go swimming and bicycling along the lakefront. Head to nearby Emerald Bay State Park for a bird’s-eye view of the lake from an outcropping high above the water. When the weather’s warm, a moderately easy hike to the base of Lower Eagle Falls reveals breathtaking views.

In the winter, the north side of Lake Tahoe stays busy thanks to one of the largest concentrations of ski resorts in North America. Most of the action is split between Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows and the more low-key Homewood Mountain Resort.
