Epic cross-country skiing. Family-friendly ice skating. Lakeside trails cleared for walkers and cyclists. Cozy fireplaces that keep pups and people toasty after snowy adventures. Lake Tahoe promises the best of a classic winter getaway, plus great dog-friendly cottages, cabins, motels and resorts. For stunning scenery and easy access to seasonal fun, reserve a room at one of these best-in-show South Lake Tahoe properties.
The Beach Retreat & Lodge stretches along Lake Tahoe’s south shore, a short drive from ski hills and winter sports. First-floor pet rooms feature private patios, while the property’s Sidelines Sports Pub serves dishes for dogs. The Beach Retreat & Lodge also hosts Wild Blue Dogs camps, an annual DogTrekker favorite.
Nearby, the Fireside Lodge bed-and-breakfast has a game room and a wine and cheese happy hour. Pups receive welcome treats, plus pet blankets, towels and bowls for use during a stay. About 20 miles south, the modern Desolation Hotel (formerly Sorensen’s) has dog-friendly rooms, pet amenities and dedicated doggie relief areas.
In Nevada, on the lake’s southeast side, Zephyr Cove Resort accommodates four-legged guests in comfortable cabins with kitchens and fireplaces.
