6 Luxury Villas in Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe straddles the California-Nevada border high in the Sierra Nevada, and our villas sit around its North Shore -- in Truckee, Incline Village and Carnelian Bay, close to Tahoe City and the Olympic Valley. It is home to some of the clearest alpine water in North America, ringed by pine forest and granite peaks, and it shifts completely with the seasons.
Every villa in our Lake Tahoe collection is handpicked and personally verified by our team -- real bedrooms for your group, mountain or lake settings, and space to gather after a day outside. The collection runs from three-bedroom retreats to six-bedroom lodges that sleep up to sixteen, so ski groups and multi-family trips can all stay under one roof. Book direct and your stay includes five-star concierge service: a private chef, lift tickets and ski rentals, grocery pre-stocking, and airport transfers from Reno-Tahoe International (RNO).
Winter is peak season for skiing at Palisades Tahoe, Northstar and Diamond Peak; summer brings boating, hiking and the lake itself. Both windows book out fast -- reserve early, especially for the largest homes.
Extending your California trip? Trade the Sierra for the coast with our Los Angeles luxury villa rentals, or the desert with a Palm Springs villa and private pool.
