Ski Heavenly & Beyond

Heavenly Mountain Resort is just 2.3 miles from our bungalows — 97 trails spread across California and Nevada with sweeping lake views from the ridgeline. Sierra at Tahoe (16 miles) and Kirkwood (34 miles) round out one of the densest ski regions in North America. Season typically runs late November through April.

Emerald Bay & the Rim Trail

The Tahoe Rim Trail circles the entire lake across 165 miles of ridge-top terrain. Shorter day hikes — Angora Lakes, Cascade Falls, Eagle Falls at Emerald Bay — are within easy reach of our South Lake Tahoe properties. The views from above are unlike anywhere else in the Sierra.

Mountain Biking the Rim

The Tahoe Rim Trail doubles as one of the premier mountain biking routes in the West. Flume Trail, Marlette Lake, and the Tahoe East Shore Trail offer everything from mellow rides to technical singletrack with jaw-dropping lake views at every turn.

Beyond the Slopes & Trails

01

Eagle Falls

A short trail from Emerald Bay State Park leads to one of Tahoe's most photographed waterfalls — best in early summer when snowmelt is still running strong.

02

Snow Tubing & Sledding

Heavenly's Adventure Mountain has snow tubing, a mountain roller coaster, and family snow activities just minutes from our bungalows — perfect for non-skiers and kids.

03

Paddleboarding & Kayaking

El Dorado Beach and Regan Beach are a short walk from our South Lake Tahoe properties. Paddleboard and kayak rentals are steps away. Tahoe's water is clearest in July and August.

Nikki's Beach Bar

Right on the beach at Edgewood, Nikki's is the go-to for sunset drinks, live music, and lakefront dining when the day is done.

Craft beers brewed in-house with a full menu — a local gathering spot perfect for a relaxed evening after a day on the trails or the water.
