Edgewood Tahoe might be your new favorite mountain retreat
In partnership with Edgewood Tahoe
Words by SAMANTHA BROOKS
There are few places as magical as the shores of Lake Tahoe, where towering Ponderosa pines and white firs meld with crystal-clear water, replenished each season by the 15 snow-filled ski resorts that surround the body of water with 72 miles of shoreline. During the summer months, the 191-square-mile lake sparkles in shades from aquamarine to cerulean, while in the winter months, it reflects the nearby snow-capped mountains like glitter.

Regardless of the season, the idyllic landscape is perhaps best experienced at the modern lodge-style Edgewood Tahoe Resort. Located 200 miles east of San Francisco, just across the Nevada border, on the lake’s south shore, the 154-room resort offers a modern setting to take in the lush nature-filled surroundings.
Spend your fall days perfecting your golf game on the resort’s 18-hole golf course, originally designed in 1968 by George Fazio and later updated by his nephew Tom. Walk in the same steps as legendary players like Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, and then unwind at the Brooks’ Bar and Deck designed by master architect Frank Gehry.

This winter season, there’s no shortage of skiing and snowboarding on the nearby 480 acres of terrain and 41 lifts, but Edgewood offers extraordinary experiences not to be had at just any mountain resort. Enjoy a guided snowshoe tour with après cocktails or take in the towering mountains and snow-filled surrounds from the property’s own ice-skating rink. The resort also includes a heated lakefront pool and hot tub, while morning wellness classes and an evening s’mores cart are also part of a typical day. Don’t miss the expanded spa offerings at Spa Edgewood, where new treatments incorporate exclusive gemstone rituals.
When it comes to resting and unwinding after an active day outdoors, the property’s new Villa Suites offer perhaps the plushest place to rest your head. The two-, three- and five-bedroom cabin-style accommodations are a stunning new addition to the resort, featuring rich woods, lux stone, cozy furnishings and expansive windows to take in the view, and bring you back down to earth. 180 Lake Pkwy., Stateline, Nevada, 888-881-8659.
