A remote worker's guide to Lake Tahoe, including where to stay, where to ski, its best cafes and coworking options.
Where to stay in Lake Tahoe
Tahoe is most commonly divided between North and South. Both are beautiful, alluring, and very different from each other.
South Lake Tahoe
South Lake Tahoe is the largest city around the lake. It's home to more beautiful beaches than ski resorts, making it especially favorable during the summer months. It's also where you'll find Outsite Tahoe, as well as a plethora of shops, restaurants, bars, and casino resorts.
North Lake Tahoe
Serene North Lake Tahoe is comprised of small, upscale cities and towns in California and Nevada like Tahoe City, Kings Beach, Carnelian Bay, Truckee, and more. It's less populated and quieter than its neighbor, South Tahoe. This is where you'll find the majority of the best ski resorts like Squaw Valley and Northstar. It's where you want to be to escape the crowds and connect to nature.
Reno-Tahoe
The area also referred to as the Reno-Tahoe Territory, has it all, from mountains, meadows, urban cities, old-west style towns, casinos, and outdoor activities. The city of Reno, "The Biggest Little City in the World," offers casinos, restaurants, nightlife, museums, and year-round events.
Digital nomad communities in Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe's digital nomad community is growing, specifically in South Lake.
