West Shore Lake Tahoe: The Most Underrated Side of the Lake

Lake Tahoe West Shore: is the quiet side right for you? I cover the history, the big snow, and what living and buying here is really like. The West Shore runs along Highway 89 from just south of Tahoe City through Sunnyside, Homewood, Tahoma and Meeks Bay, all the way to Emerald Bay, and it still feels like Old Tahoe. We start with the Washoe people, whose ancestral homeland is the Tahoe Basin, then the days when the railroad ran from Truckee right out onto the Tahoe Tavern pier. We also visit Chambers Landing, the Ehrman Mansion at Sugar Pine Point State Park, and Fleur du Lac, the Henry Kaiser estate where The Godfather Part II was filmed. I also cover the honest trade-offs: the West Shore is quiet, there's no big commercial center, and winter storms that hit the first ridgeline can bring a lot more snow than the North Shore gets. And I explain what the Homewood Mountain Resort redevelopment could mean if you're thinking about buying nearby.
