Welcome to My North Lake Tahoe Guide

North Lake Tahoe has felt like a second home to me ever since I moved to California. Living in San Francisco, Tahoe has become my go-to escape—one of those places that just makes everything feel right. No matter the season, whether it’s winter or summer, there’s something truly magical about being surrounded by nature up in the mountains.

Tahoe has a way of recharging you. Whether you’re going through something tough or just need a break, being in the mountains, breathing in the crisp air, and immersing yourself in the outdoors can be the reset you didn’t know you needed. That’s why I created this guide—because I believe everyone deserves to experience Tahoe the way I do. Every time I visit, I leave feeling happier, more relaxed, and re-energized, and I want to help you feel the same.

With this guide, I’m taking the guesswork out of your trip, so you can enjoy Tahoe without the stress of planning. Whether you’re skiing in the winter, sipping coffee at a lakeside café, hiking scenic trails in the summer, or just looking for a peaceful retreat, this guide has something for you.

This guide is divided into two sections: Summer and Winter, each featuring the best activities, restaurants, coffee shops, and hidden gems tailored to the season. Whether you’re embracing the snow-covered wonderland or soaking up the sun by the lake, you’ll find the best things to do, places to explore, and experiences to enjoy.

I hope this guide helps you make the most of your time in Tahoe!
