Incline Village

 

 

Incline Village is an upscale waterfront town that rests on the Northern shores of Lake Tahoe. Residents have unfettered access to the lake and the mountain range in their backyard, so there are recreational activities for every season. Lake Tahoe has pristine azure waters that locals use for kayaking, paddle boarding, and boating. And the local ski resort has miles of trails and different terrains for novices and professionals. 

 

With tennis courts, a fitness center, beaches, and spas, living here can feel like you are on a perpetual vacation. Incline Village combines seclusion and natural beauty with the convenience of being less than an hour outside Reno. Since this area is a premier vacation destination, those who own a piece of this paradise often rent out their scenic homes to those wanting to experience life on Lake Tahoe. 

 

 

Incline Village has a small community that stays connected through various events and celebrations that the locals now cherish as tradition. Every summer, the town hosts the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival, a two-month-long cultural exhibition with daily performances of classic plays, musicals, ballets, and more. Incline Village also hosts an Independence Day celebration and the Ullr Fest in January, which is an event honoring the Norse god of snow. Residents also connect by seeing familiar faces on nearby hiking trails or by sharing a chairlift at the ski resort. 

 

The area around Lake Tahoe is well-maintained and protected so that everyone who comes here can enjoy nature and relax. Many residents live in this beautiful area short-term, as Lake Tahoe has a fantastic short-term rental market for those looking to spend the summer or winter months by the lake.
