Summer in Tahoe is NOT over!!!!!!!!!!

We all know summer flew by! Although, school is back in session, summer in Tahoe is NOT over!!!!! September and October are two of the most beautiful months in Tahoe. In September, the air is still warm, the wind stays calm and the lake is glassy almost every single day. 
In October, the temperature begins to drop and the leaves begin to change to vibrant fall colors of red, yellow and orange. 

If you have not experienced ALL four seasons at the Lake, you are in for a real treat, as Tahoe offers the most beautiful scenery year round. 

Need an excuse to get up here? Aside from the fact that all of our rentals (condos and houses) have been reduced to VALUE SEASON - meaning everything is more than 30% OFF, there are also two HUGE weekends left!

IRONMAN Lake Tahoe: September 22nd
This is one destination you do not want to miss as a triathlete! If you are coming to the area as a competitor or a spectator, Sierra Vacations has cabins and condos of all sizes available to enjoy the spectacular weekend. All prices have been discounted for the IRONMAN Weekend. 

TOUGH MUDDER: September 28th & 29th
The Tough Mudder is returning once again to Northstar for another insane weekend! Sierra Vacations still has several condos and houses available in Northstar for the Tough Mudder weekend. All houses and condos have access to the Northstar Recreation center where you will find a pool & hot tub, perfect for those sore muscles after the race. You will also have access to the Northstar Shuttle Service that will pick up and drop off right at your doorstep.

Here at Sierra Vacations we love sharing the beauty of Lake Tahoe with others. With that being said, come and experience the beauty Lake Tahoe has to offer in September & October. We guarantee, you will not be disappointed! You can relax and escape one last time before summer is officially over!

Ready set SUMMER.....

It's SUMMER time in Tahoe!!

You know it is officially summertime in Tahoe when: 
1.) The blue jays wake you up in the morning. 
2.)You can walk out of your house at 8:00 AM wearing just a T-shirt. 
3.) There is construction on every single road in the Tahoe Basin! 
4.) The lake is crystal clear and as smooth as glass in the morning. 
5.) The smell of BBQ and Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen has become your new permanent cologne for the next 3 months.

We have been experiencing these, have you? 

Now that it is OFFICIALLY SUMMER in Tahoe there are so many things to keep you occupied! As long as you have your Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen (that's our favorite) you'll be set.

Here are some great events you don't want to miss, coming up every Thursday and Friday in North Tahoe and Truckee:

Starting June 13th Downtown Truckee presents: Truckee Thursdays! Every Thursday from 5-9 PM Downtown Truckee will close down the streets for an amazing street fair with a farmers market, live music, great shopping and happy hour specials! Like going to the gym, this should be apart of your weekly routine.

We Love Pets Just As Much As you!

Photos from the Daily Puppy
How can you resist leaving this cute face behind?
Well don't worry when you stay with Sierra Vacations you don't have to!

As pet lovers ourselves, we understand the EXTREME guilt you feel when looking into those sad puppy eyes as you're walking out the door to go on vacation. Don't remember that look? We'll give you an idea.
 

Does this ring a bell!? The "please don't leave me" look. I think you get the idea! Why go through this agonizing pain of leaving part of your family behind, when you can simply bring them with you! Sierra Vacations has several pet friendly properties available for the whole family, pet included. Unlike other rental companies that charge a pet fee per day, all we ask is you pay a flat rate of $39.99. This covers up to $3000.00 in damage, for those just in case moments; when the puppy is so ecstatic that you brought them, they get a little crazy!
Sierra Vacations has also partnered with Agate Bay Animal Hospital & DogGoneCrazy to make you and your pets vacation that much better! They have provided us with amazing doggy gift bags that will be waiting for you and your pup when you arrive. Want to go out to a nice dinner or on an adventure that the pup can't go on? Don't worry, Agate Bay Animal Hospital has a Doggy Daycare and Day-Spa! 

So why leave your pet at home with a sad face, when they can come with you and have their tongue out and tail wagging!




 For more information about our pet rentals be sure to visit our website www.sierravacations.com or call us toll free (800) 521-6656 and we would be happy to help you and your furry friend!




A HAPPY DOG = A HAPPY OWNER
