Relax in one of Lake Tahoe’s most serene resorts, surrounded by nature. Explore the famous lake or venture out into the beauty of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Zephyr Cove is a playground of activities set amid bountiful nature. The four seasons bring with them different colors and opportunities.

Return when the land has been blanketed in snow for skiing, snowmobiling and romantic log fires under starry night skies.

Alternatively, go on a horseback riding adventure in the stunning Sierra Nevada Mountains with the Zephyr Cove Stables.

"Everything was great overall. The only issue was the air conditioning in our room, it only blew cold air, and the heat did not work. The room was freezing all night, which made it difficult to sleep comfortably."
