Pope Beach

Somewhat off-the-beaten path valley that's a wonderful place for outdoor activities throughout the year. Backcountry skiing and snowmobiling hotspot in winter, fishing in spring and summer and foilage touring in fall.

Wonderful place to bring your whole group for a hot springs experience. It's a state park where they've built two concrete pools — one with natural hot springs water, and another with chlorinated 80º water. Bathrooms and showers are on site.
Markleeville is a funky little town too, so fun to mix with a lunch or dinner there.

Food Scene
My favorite restaurant in Tahoe. Low-key, with a largely vegetarian menu (but not completely, plenty of tuna/turkey available). Lots of fresh juices.

High-end luxury resort that's fine to visit for a meal or a round, a spa session or round of golf. They have three different restaurants to choose from, and unquestionably the best sunset dining views in Tahoe.

Fantastic spot for cheese, wine and lunch. The restaurant is in a wonderfully restored, historic Victorian home in Genoa, which makes for a fun day trip — especially in tandem with a trip to the Genoa Bar across the street.

Wonderful spot for "healthy mexican" cuisine — and they of course specialize in rotisserie chicken. We recommend the breakfast burritos with sweet potatoes. Great platters for big groups too.

Wonderful new brewery that opened in spring 2017. Great beers, but small, minimalist space (in a mini mall). It'll be loud if it's crowded.

A wonderful gem! The local newspaper, the Tahoe Mountain News, has opened a microbrewery just a couple blocks from the Lodge. It's charming, small and has great beer. Strongly encourage you to visit, though it's only open Fri + Sat nights.

Nevada's oldest third parlor (don't call it a bar!). This place has been home to many movies, and many drinkers, for more than a century. Step instead and be transported to the old west.

Part bookstore, part coffee shop and part coworking space! Cuppa Tahoe has quickly become one of my wife and I's favorite spots nearby, and it's just a short (7-8 min) walk from the Lodge.
Perfect if you need a good desk to work from away from your family/friends, or if your group is just looking for a caffeine fix.
