Tahoe City is perched on the shore of Lake Tahoe at the headwaters of the Truckee River. Paved trails wind their way along the lake past the town and along the Truckee where river rafters negotiate the gentle current. Biking, hiking, or skating, Tahoe City is a year-round playground with plenty of outdoor activities, shopping, galleries, and four-star restaurants. Renting in this area offers the best of all worlds--the vibrancy of a bustling town with the escape of the forest and mountains.
