I need a dollar, a Dollar Point vacation is what I need

A Lake Tahoe vacation is all about the great outdoors. In the summer, watersports enthusiasts descend on Dollar Point to sail or waterski on the lake, while nature fans come to hike Tahoe's many woodland trails. In winter, it draws the snowsports crowd, who come to ski in the nearby resort of Squaw Valley, or tackle the cross-country skiing and snowshoe trails that run right from the village. Book a Dollar Point vacation rental between the lake beaches, and the bars and restaurants of Tahoe City, and have the best of the Lake Tahoe region right on your doorstep.

There's no business like snow business around Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe is a year-round destination. In the warm summer months, temperatures can reach a respectable 70-80 degrees, and the lake waters are warm enough for swimming. But in winter, when the mercury drops, the heavy snowfall attracts the winter sports crowd to Tahoe's shores. Both summer and winter can see the crowds, and Dollar Point vacation rentals can get snapped up quickly. For the best choice, visit in the shoulder seasons of spring and late fall, when the weather is still pleasant, but with the odd shower of rain, so pack an umbrella.
