Great Time of Year to Visit Tahoe!

Blue skies and mild temperatures make this an ideal time to visit Lake Tahoe. While it is officially still spring it feels like summer around the lake. Only difference being there are fewer visitors this time of year. Wonderful time to visit for those of you who not only enjoy the natural beauty but peace and serenity of the Tahoe Basin.

Our landscaping crew has cleaned up our extensive grounds, turned on our sprinkler systems and will be planting soon. After being buried in several feet of snow, it is amazing how our lawns and gardens spring back to life. Guess that’s why they call it spring! We will hold off until June 1st before planting our more delicate flowers. Up here in the Great Blue, should you plant color before Memorial Day you run the risk of that one last snow flurry doing them in.

My “travel tip” for this posting is to watch the seasons when planning your vacation travel. Like most resorts, Inn by the Lake’s rates are seasonal. Thus, supply and demand are significant factors in pricing. We could sell 3 to 4 times as many rooms over holiday periods, winter weekends and the busy summer months. So, if your travel schedule is flexible take advantage of the lower rates & specials available mid-week, spring and fall.

We realize that high gas prices are of concern to you and the rest of us. Once you arrive at the Inn, take advantage of the city’s very reasonably priced BlueGo shuttle system. The Nifty Thrifty Trolley will also be running to points of interest soon. The Inns central location is conducive to some great hikes. We have placed into service early this year for guest use our small fleet of complimentary bicycles.

Incidentally, we did extend our online special through May 22, 2008. Click on CHECK AVAILIBILITY and then Promotional Rates and you will see what I mean!
