The Best Bed And Breakfasts In Lake Tahoe

If you’re looking for outdoor adventure in Lake Tahoe, which straddles the border between Nevada and California, and the surrounding Sierra Nevada, you can’t go wrong with the friendly, personal touch of a B&B. Whether you’re close to the action in Tahoma, on the lake’s western shore, or in tranquil Kingsbury, to the east, these cozy hideaways will make you feel at home in the mountains.
