Nevada’s mountains are its best-kept secret: the sapphire east shore of Lake Tahoe, and beyond it the wild, empty Ruby Mountains, where helicopters drop skiers onto untracked powder.

Edgewood Tahoe Resort

Edgewood Tahoe Resort is the finest lakefront hotel on Lake Tahoe, and Lake Tahoe is the most photographed lake on Instagram. On the Nevada shore of this vast alpine lake, a grand timber lodge looks across water so clear you can see far into its depths, framed by the snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada. It sits beside one of America's most celebrated public golf courses, and it combines a beach, a spa and nearby skiing in one of the West's great mountain playgrounds.

Ruby 360 Lodge

Ruby 360 Lodge is a remote mountain lodge in the Ruby Mountains of north-eastern Nevada, a dramatic, glacier-carved range often called the Alps of Nevada. Built in 2017 as the base for Ruby Mountain Heli Experience, one of the leading heli-skiing operations in the United States, it combines a spectacular setting, a stylish timber-and-glass lodge and a sense of true wilderness, far from the crowds of the big ski resorts.

Zephyr Cove Resort

Zephyr Cove Resort is a classic Lake Tahoe getaway, a cluster of rustic cabins among the pines beside one of the lake's best sandy beaches, on the Nevada shore. It began in the late nineteenth century as a simple inn for silver prospectors, and today it offers an old-fashioned, family-friendly mountain holiday, with paddle-wheeler cruises, boating and beach days in summer, and snowmobiling in winter, at a price that is rare at Tahoe.
