Discover more about Tahoe Tavern Properties

Tahoe Tavern Properties stands as a testament to Lake Tahoe's rich history and enduring appeal. Originally home to the Tahoe Tavern Hotel, an internationally famous resort built in 1901, the property has hosted generations of visitors seeking luxurious accommodations and stunning natural beauty. The Tahoe Tavern quickly became a sought-after destination for San Francisco Bay society, boasting amenities such as a casino, ballroom, and pleasure pier. Designed by Walter Danforth Bliss, the Tahoe Tavern was the vision of Duane L. Bliss, a timber baron and railroad operator who sought to elevate tourism in the Tahoe Basin. The hotel was so luxurious that it was considered the finest between San Francisco and the Rockies. Guests would arrive by rail from Truckee and transfer to a narrow-gauge line that led to the Tavern's pier, where they could board the Steamer "Tahoe" for a scenic tour of the lake. In its heyday, the Tavern was a self-sustaining entity, featuring a physician's office, laundry, and even its own water system. The property also added a casino with a bar, a coffee shop, a sundeck, and a pleasure pier. Sadly, the original Tahoe Tavern burned down in the 1960s. The Moana Development Corporation purchased the property and constructed the present condominiums in three phases between 1966 and 1969. Today, Tahoe Tavern Properties offers a variety of vacation rentals, including two, three, and four-bedroom condominiums with forest, lake, or lakefront views. Guests can enjoy a range of amenities, including a seasonal heated pool, tennis courts, a private beach, and walking trails. The complex is located just a short walk from Tahoe City, where visitors can explore shops, restaurants, galleries, and museums.
