In a short but sweet 24-hours, my dog Dreyfus and I got to see Emerald Bay in the late afternoon sun and then spend the night at the cozy dog-friendly Beach Retreat & Lodge nestled at the foot of the mountains on the shores of the Lake.
The inviting pier on the property beckoned us to walk out and take in the breathtaking panoramic views that make Lake Tahoe so legendary.
We finished the evening with a fabulous meal complete with live saxophonist at the hotel’s own Boathouse on the Pier, followed by a relaxing warm-up next to the fire pit in the courtyard.
