the legendary Kit Carson in 1844. Gold mining led
to a boomtown era, and the early 19th century
saw visits from nearby San Francisco socialites.
These days, the Tahoe area still has the power
to lure travelers from near and far, thanks to its
award-winning ski resorts, high-energy casinos,
year-round opportunities for outdoor adventure
and, of course, the waters of “Big Blue.”

WHAT TO DO During the summer months,
there are nearly limitless recreation opportunities
in and around the lake. Hiking, mountain biking and
fishing are just the beginning of the outdoor fun.
With visibility up to a depth of 75 feet in the lake
and abundant beaches, the pristine waters beckon
boaters and sportsmen. Numerous golf courses
dot the landscape, and casinos and resorts bring
an exciting edge to a Tahoe visit, with the venues
typically hosting concerts and other special events.
Festivals celebrate interests including arts, music
and theater, wine and more. The area offers a little
something for everyone, from scenic paddleboat
rides to 5K and family walk/run races along the
lake, farmer’s markets, beach concerts, live theatre,
exhilarating nightlife, gaming, art walks and more.
WHErE TO EAT More than a hundred
restaurants along the lake serve casual, fine and
leisure dining for nearly any taste. With everything
from California cuisine with a mountain twist to
sushi to pub fare, there’s no shortage of options at
dinner, breakfast or anytime.

the Wild Goose Ranch is an authentic interpretation of Western tradition infused with modern-day amenities. With a nod
to ranch homes of a bygone era, the residence comprises three buildings connected by light-drenched enclosed walkways.
Renewable energy sources and energy-efficient design elements are in place throughout the project. Agricultural ponds
dot the property, referencing its history, while nearby, a timber-frame barn hosts a variety of community events sponsored
by the civic-minded homeowners. Kelly & Stone Architects created the original master plan for this energy-efficient
showpiece, as well as the design for the main residence and barn. A member of the United States Green Building Council,
the award-winning firm is dedicated to incorporating sustainable building solutions into their residential and commercial
projects. Stunning examples of their work can be seen throughout the mountain west.
