"The staff was amazing. The building and location were great. Unfortunately the pillows (all 6 of them) were lumpy and not soft enough. Plus, the refrigerator was loud and vibrated the bed (not in a good way)."

When is the best time to go to Emerald Bay?
The best time to visit Emerald Bay is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and all activities are accessible.

During this period, temperatures typically range from 20°C to 28°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, and swimming in Lake Tahoe. The Fannette Island Tea House, a unique stone structure on the lake's only island, is also most accessible for exploration during these months.

Couples often find this time superb for romantic getaways, enjoying sunset cruises on the lake or exploring the Vikingsholm mansion, a Scandinavian-style castle overlooking the bay. The warm evenings are also lovely for dining al fresco with stunning lake views.

For families, the summer offers a wide range of activities to keep everyone entertained. Children can enjoy building sandcastles on the beach, splashing in the clear waters, or taking part in guided nature walks around the bay.
