If you are like me, an eternal procrastinator; you are probably still deciding where to spend these coming holidays. A great option to consider and I say this by experience is the beautiful Lake Tahoe. This extraordinary place not only offers great lodging alternatives and numerous Lake Tahoe vacation rentals; it nestles you in the mountains on the border of California and Nevada, with plenty of options for activities both indoors and out.

Known for the clarity of its water and being completely surrounded by hills, Lake Tahoe offers a great place to escape for a fun-filled vacation. During winter you will be surrounded by fabulous skiing opportunities with about 300 - 500 inches of snowfall at the alpine ski elevations that will ensure an unforgettable experience. Lake Tahoe also gives you access to 182 ski trails and 8800 ski resort acres. Heavenly Mountain Ski resort is the largest in Nevada and California, with the well-known Squaw Valley being second.

Other times of year at Lake Tahoe offer many forms of outdoor recreation as well. Within the surrounding mountains, hiking and mountain biking in the Sierras are quite popular. You can also head from your Lake Tahoe vacation home to the clear, deep waters of the lake for many water sports. Since the area provides 300 days of sunshine a year, you'll have plenty of opportunity to spend your days outside, and then retire to the comfort and privacy of one of your Lake Tahoe vacation home.

There is plenty of night-life in the area, too! You can check out any of the six 24-hour casinos for lights, excitement, and gambling fun.

With the incredible choice of activities indoors and out, with the fabulous natural backdrop, I can assure that a Lake Tahoe vacation is an excellent choice for singles, couples, or families. You can enjoy the incredible sunny outdoors or get lucky in the casinos!
