Welcome to Our Trees, our mountain home! Enjoy Old Tahoe charm walking distance to a beautiful beach, fine dining, a yoga/pilates studio, North Shore casinos. We are in a great location, with easy access to swimming, hiking, biking, kayaking, parasailing, paddle boarding, fishing, golf, skiing, snowboarding, sledding, and more!
