Send a gift to a vacation rental in Lake Tahoe
Tahoe rentals divide between the lake and the snow, the west shore and the east. A cabin at Homewood, a chalet at Northstar, a house near Sand Harbor — every door opens onto something cold and clear.
What fits, here
- A pot of chamomile, ready to steep, with two clean Le Creuset mugs
- Aesop Geranium Leaf body cleanser for the after-trail rinse
- A bar of dark chocolate on the bedside
- A short book of nature writing — Gary Snyder, or Mary Austin
- A Byredo Tree House candle in pine and cedar
An arrival scene
A first night in winter, a couple arriving at a west-shore cabin after a long drive.
- A kettle on the counter with the chamomile measured out into a small bowl
- A square of dark chocolate on each pillow
- A note explaining the wood stove starter setup, in the gifter’s hand
- A drawn map to the closest cross-country trailhead, with the parking notes
Warm up first. The kindling is in the basket. The trail starts at the church lot at nine.
Walks
- Sand Harbor in the morning before the parking fills — clear water, granite, a short flat loop.
- The Tahoe Rim Trail from Spooner — three miles up, three miles back, high and quiet.
- Vikingsholm down at Emerald Bay — a steep mile down, slower mile back, but the view is the view.
