Local Area Attractions
Hiking and horseback riding are popular venues while fishermen must decide among Lake Tahoe 16 miles west, Lake Topaz 25 miles south, scores of smaller high country lakes and the clear cool streams that decorate the landscape. On the dryer side, Carson Valley is proud of the four excellent golf courses within its boundaries and is less than 30 minutes away from a dozen more.
Summer is busy, but winter enthusiasts enjoy off season rates and the advantage of a 4700-foot elevation. Add our discount ski packages making this the perfect base camp for skiers as well as snowboarders heading up to Heavenly Valley and Kirkwood. Kirkwood is only 35 non-stop miles up Carson Pass on Highway 88, while the peaks of Heavenly Valley dramatically loom behind us a few minutes up Highway 207. Snowmobilers also find our location and facility very accommodating.
This is a place of leisure, a well kept secret for a long time, now offering tranquility and adventure.
