Cabins In Lake Tahoe

In Northern California, particularly for those of us living in the bay area, there is no more popular destination than cabins in Lake Tahoe. Every Friday, traffic up highway 101 slows almost to a stop. Every Sunday evening, traffic is blocked up for miles on the way back into San Francisco. And you can bet that at least one in every five of those cars, at least one in every five of those drowsy and impatient souls, is coming back from cabins in Lake Tahoe.

One of the reasons for the popularity of cabins in Lake Tahoe among vacationers is the combination of proximity and convenience. It is easy to get to Lake Tahoe, and the roads are good all the way, yet it is far enough outside any major population centers to feel like a full fledged outing. Families taking trips out to cabins rentals in Lake Tahoe feel like their going somewhere outside of their daily routine, and off the beaten path, and yet The whole Lake Tahoe area, particularly South Lake Tahoe, is on the beaten path enough to be accessible during an ordinary weekend.

Another thing that I have always liked about going to visit cabins in Lake Tahoe is the unparalleled beauty of the area. It is hard to believe that I am the only one! There really is no where that is more scenic than Lake Tahoe, with its waters and mountains, and yet the scenery isn't the only draw. There are more recreational activities available in the Lake Tahoe area than in almost any wilderness area, from skiing to swimming, to fishing, to hiking. And they are all located a convenient distance from each other so that, no matter what time of year it is, cabins in Lake Tahoe will always furnish an attractive destination for seasonal recreation.

Personally, although I've enjoyed cabin rentals in Lake Tahoe on more than one occasion, I mostly prefer other locations. My favorite one, at least during the summer and early fall, is Point Reyes. It is a national seashore, and one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Best of all, except for a few spots, it is rarely even the slightest bit crowded. Best of all, there is always camping there, while cabins in Lake Tahoe tend to fill up. Although it doesn't have the same glamor, I'll take Point Reyes over Lake Tahoe any day.
