Top 6 luxury lodgings around Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe is one of my favourite places on the planet. And I’m not alone. Mark Twain author of Huckleberry Finn – wrote this about that view:

“…at last the Lake burst upon us—a noble sheet of blue water lifted six thousand three hundred feet above the level of the sea… As it lay there with the shadows of the mountains brilliantly photographed upon its still surface I thought it must surely be the fairest picture the whole earth affords.” —Mark Twain upon seeing Lake Tahoe, Roughing It

Real holiday luxury starts and finishes with your accommodation, so that’s what this post is all about. I’ve simply decided to describe the best that Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Mountains have to offer. While the largest concentration of accommodation is centred south of Lake Tahoe and the Stateline area, there are other – very special – places spread between California and Nevada.
