RIDGE Weekend Getaway – Lake Tahoe

There are few places in the world that rival the beauty of Lake Tahoe. Majestic mountains and one of the purest lakes in the world provide an incredible backdrop for any adventure. The list of open-air activities possible during your stay is as long as it is exhilarating: hiking, mountain biking, stand-up paddleboarding, boat cruises, fishing charters, horseback riding, and even parasailing. The Edgewood Tahoe Resort is just minutes from Heavenly Village, a charming energetic hub of shopping, dining, and entertainment. It’s home to over 40 shops, ranging from local retailers, a variety of bars and eateries, live music, and more. The resort is located just over an hour from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, 2.5 hours from the Sacramento International Airport, and approximately 4 hours from either the San Francisco or Oakland International Airports.

Nestled on the shores of Lake Tahoe, North America’s largest alpine lake, and bounded by the majestic peaks of the Sierra, you’ll find Edgewood Tahoe Resort, a one-of-a-kind boutique resort where luxury reaches new heights every day. Be it gourmet dining, a soothing day at the spa, legendary golf, easy access to Tahoe’s fabled outdoor activities, or simply sitting back and basking in the wonder of it all, the experiences here are unequaled and the memories everlasting.
