Tahoe City Hotel Alternatives

Soaring Skies

• 8 guests

• 3 bedrooms

El Dorado County, California

Homes don't come much more in tune with nature than this one. Situated just below South Lake Tahoe, you'll feel truly immersed in the natural environment.

Polaris

• 8 guests

• 3 bedrooms

Placer County, California

Combine convenience and comfort with a stay in the penthouse of the Ritz-Carlton at Northstar, the only AAA Five Diamond mountain hotel in California. Occupying the hotel’s top floor, this eight-guest penthouse apartment offers privacy and tranquility, along with full access to the hotel’s facilities.

Sugar Pine

• 22 guests

• 6 bedrooms

Truckee, Nevada County

On the outskirts of Truckee, and right by Donner Lake (Tahoe’s smaller, less crowded cousin), Sugar Pine has every base covered to make for a great outdoors holiday. Along with the sheer size, which makes it excellent for larger groups and multiple families, the home has pretty much every amenity you can think of, from the private spa (with sauna and steam room), two barbecues, enormous TVs, a games room, and even underfloor heating (a game-changer after skiing, trust us).
