For your home away from home you can rent a cozy cabin tucked away in the forest, or a luxurious condominium on the beach, or a private residence with a spectacular view of Lake Tahoe. The choice is yours, depending upon your budget and your expectations. Vacation rentals include fully equipped kitchens, linens, color televisions and telephones. Many also include fireplaces, VCRs, private decks, hot tubs, saunas, microwave ovens and washers and dryers. Some have security systems, parking garages and access to private beaches, tennis courts, spas and pools.
Many accommodations are wheelchair accessible, and some with secure yards allow pets.
The cost of rental usually depends upon the sleeping capacity, the view, the location, the amenities and the degree of luxury. It also varies with the season of the year. Insiders know you can expect lower rates at Lake Tahoe in the fall and late spring. Most properties also require a minimum stay of two to five nights. The required length depends upon the time of year as well as the particular property requested.
