When you're ready to slow down the pace, why not visit some of the great shops in Tahoe Vista where you can buy something to remember your trip. Visit one of the two galleries and pick out that perfect painting or sculpture for your home. There are four restaurants in Vista. In most you can enjoy a view of the lake with your meal. Or, legend has it that the cousin of the Loch Ness monster immigrated to Tahoe and inhabits its depths. Is it true? You can examine the evidence and decide for yourself at Tahoe Tessie's Lake Tahoe Monster Museum. It's also a short trip to the east where, just across the Nevada border, you'll find casinos at Crystal Bay where you can see where you stand with Lady Luck.

Tahoe Vista is a great place to stay in winter too. Northstar Resort is just six miles away. Truckee, Alpine, Homewood, Donner and Squaw are all within 16 miles. Those same hills in summer are transformed into a wonderful mecca for hiking, biking, fishing, horseback riding, and everything summer. No matter what the season, Tahoe Vista is a great place for your vacation getaway!
