Although you can contact individual properties directly, we recommend using a rental agency because they have large lists of every type of property available. With your budget and specific needs in mind, they can find the accommodation that is exactly right for you. Rental agencies can also assure you that your property is clean and well-maintained and that everything included is in good working order. Some are also full-service real estate offices and are described in more detail in our Neighborhoods and Real Estate chapter. Space doesn't permit us to list all the rental agencies in the Lake Tahoe area, but here's a few to help you find that perfect vacation hideaway.
Many resort areas have vacation rental units listed in their accommodation hotlines.
