What do you think about Lake Tahoe as a destination to rent a cabin either for summer or winter?

I have been to Lake Tahoe a couple of times, both in winter. It is a beautiful destination to rent a cabin, and during winter the snow, the mountains and the overall atmosphere is great as a destination to enjoy with friends and family. I have not been there during summer though, however I did hear that when the snow melts there is a whole other world of trails for hiking, biking and walking that are not visible during winter.
