Me and my Wife’s favorite vacation spot. Love the drive up highway 395 from So Kal. With must stops at Hickory Smoked Meats and Schats Bakkery in Bishop.
Considering retiring on the Nevada side for more favorable taxation. Just not sure about full time with the hard Winters.
Looking at the pictures makes me miss living where Tahoe was a short trip. Nothing like it in Texas. My niece lives in Carson City and I thought about moving there but chose to move to Texas to be closer to my kids instead. If you do retire there, do move to the Nevada side so CA can’t tax your retirement.
Have a couple of friends who retired to Minden or Gardnerville (can’t remember) not even a year ago. They absolutely love it and visit Lake Tahoe regularly. They actually kind of ran into running a tourist campground for trailers and RVs during the summer.

Same here. Beautiful areas to retire in Reno and Carson Valley. Not a lot of snow but winds really cold. The freeway between I80 and Hwy 50 (Reno through Carson City) should be completed by next month which will mean easier access to South Lake Tahoe. Already got our ski passes so hope this is going to be another good winter.
I posit that 395 is one of the most beautiful drives in the country.
I used to do a lot of backpacking and 395 was almost always part of the trip going to and from a trailhead.
