Tahoma- Lake Tahoe West Shore

Travel a couple more miles down Hyw 89 from Homewood and you’ll find Tahoma. Tahoma started as a resort in 1916. The place name was created from combining “Tahoe” and “home”.  During the 1960 Winter Olympics in nearby Squaw Valley, Tahoma was selected as the site of the cross-country skiing and biathlon, as there was insufficient space in Squaw Valley.  Both Homewood and Tahoma offer single family homes varied in size from the “Old Tahoe” stone cabins to luxury townhomes in Chambers Landing and magnificent estates along the shoreline of Lake Tahoe.  Sugar Pine State Park and Meeks Bay with their marvelous beaches are just to the south.
