Homewood Mountain Resort in Lake Tahoe  is home to the Lake Tahoe music festival and brings an atmosphere that you would expect from such a venue. Homewood Mountain Resort in Lake Tahoe  has a reputation for having some of the most amazing views in the Lake Tahoe area, and is a common place to find skiers and snowboarders flocking to each season. The outstanding terrain for both skiers and snow boarders runs right up against the shoreline of Lake Tahoe. With this type of natural landscaping and dramatic incline from the shoreline results in a spectacular views at every turn.

Homewood Mountain Resort in Lake Tahoe is located within the densely forested West Shore of Lake Tahoe, and thus offers a feeling of privacy hard to capture at any vacation destination. Homewood Mountain Resort is surely one of the finest and last of California’s unspoiled winter resorts. Something very unique about Homewood Mountain Resort is that unlike many other resorts who rely on leased land from the US Forestry, Homewood Mountain Resort owns all of their 1700 acres with nearly 1300 of those acres of land being prime ski able terrain.

There is a rustic village or town just at the base of the mountain that surrounds the Homewood Mountain Resort. This rustic village offers a full range of dining and shopping experiences that is associated with any type of “retreat town” or “vacation spot” but to its value the town resembles the existence that it once had in the 1860’s when silver was first discovered. This adds allot to the resort and ambiance to the whole area, and creates a comfortable setting anyone can enjoy.
