Lake Tahoe: The Bay Area’s #1 Vacation Destination!
Hello Everyone,
My name is Brendan Aiello and I will be your tour guide. This post will serve as the first of many posts about Lake Tahoe; arguably the #1 weekend vacation getaway to most Bay Area residents.
Why have I been chosen by the team to serve as a “tour guide” to the Lake Tahoe area? Simply because I was born and raised in the Bay Area and have been visiting the Lake Tahoe area since I was a baby.
My mom spent a lot of time here when she was youngster too. In the late 1950’s my grandfather decided that he wanted to spend more time in the place where he and my grandmother spent their honeymoon. So in 1962, he completed construction of the “Shamrock Inn” in South Lake Tahoe, CA. This was prior to the casino “strips” construction. The hotel/apartment complex was eventually purchased by Harrah’s to house the many construction workers that would be building the high-rises that are seen on the strip today. Although no longer in the hotel industry our family still rents out some luxury single family properties in South Lake Tahoe as Vacation Rentals (Link to SLTVR.com).
In 1987, My grandfather completed construction of a single family house in South Lake Tahoe, CA designed to house the family whenever they decided to come up to Tahoe and I have been taking advantage of it ever since.
Whether it is skiing, snowboarding, biking, hiking, lounging on the beach, jet skiing, boating, golfing, gambling, dining or another Lake Tahoe attraction I have become very accustomed to the Lake Tahoe Vacation lifestyle.
Now that you know my Lake Tahoe history, stay tuned for reviews on many aspects of the Lake Tahoe. As I have a lot of information on this area, if you are curious on solely Lake Tahoe information. Click the drop-down “Lake Tahoe Tab” under the “Weekend Getaway” tab in header navigation.
If you are looking to purchase or sell a vacation home in the Lake Tahoe area or are interested in owning vacation rental income property always feel free to contact me.
Don’t forget going to Red Hut for breakfast!! My in-laws have a house on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe that used to belong to their parents. Great place to go in the summer to escape the Las Vegas heat. Absolutely gorgeous.

The economy has put many of these beautiful homes within reach of investors and families looking for a second home or vacation rental. The housing market in this area has held up much better than most other areas around the nation. Housing cost is one of the best reasons to invest in the current Lake Tahoe real estate market. The median price for a nice cabin or single family home is about $449,950 which is considerably lower than the market’s peak in 2006.
And hey, if you can’t live in it make it a new Lake Tahoe Vacation Rental or Cabin!
