The lake is magical in itself, but sitting there enjoying the entirety of the scenery is breath-taking. The mansion tour is US $12 and a very nice docent led exploration. The grounds have a lot to see as it is a part of a larger state park. Cheaper than the Vikingsholm tour nearby and much less crowded.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621532641330/e7d62624-9817-47de-9f8b-febd96fa7382.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Ed Z'berg Sugar Pine Point State Park 20 min walk \- 1.1 miles - ![Homewood Mountain Resort featuring a luxury hotel or resort, mountains and snow](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6063285/44802e83-6e1e-4cf2-9871-3ba3ca3ffb6e.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Homewood Mountain Resort 3 min drive \- 2.0 miles - ![Squaw Valley Resort featuring landscape views, snow and mountains](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6063291/db4e13aa-03f6-4e67-86eb-471e69241da6.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Palisades Tahoe 26 min drive \- 18.0 miles - ![Heavenly Ski Resort which includes landscape views, snow and forest scenes](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6063293/bc869d17-d1ac-442e-8338-cc9d394a516b.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Heavenly Ski Resort 36 min drive \- 26.0 miles - ![Northstar California Resort which includes a hotel and ice skating as well as a small group of people](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6063289/e9ebcf3b-e744-4a5d-9339-f7acfe03d6f6.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Northstar California Resort 38 min drive \- 30.0 miles ### Getting around - Truckee Station 34 min drive - Lake Tahoe, CA (TVL) 43 min drive ### Restaurants - Sunnyside 11 min drive - Shadyside Lounge 11 min drive - West Shore Market 11 min drive - Chambers Landing Bar 18 min walk - Swiss Lakewood Restaurant Tahoe 5 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Rubicon Adventure Lodge in Tahoma pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Rubicon Adventure Lodge in Tahoma? ### What time is check-in at Rubicon Adventure Lodge in Tahoma? ### What time is check-out at Rubicon Adventure Lodge in Tahoma? ### Where is Rubicon Adventure Lodge in Tahoma located? ## Have a question?

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I spent an amazing week in this beautiful house. It was very spacious and everyone had plenty of room to relax and enjoy. When we were not out playing in the lake, hiking or exploring the surrounding areas, most of our time was out on the deck (which is lovely), cooking in the well appointed kitchen and enjoying the hot tub.We did have quite a bit of bear activity. A few walked right through the yard and one even came up to the kitchen window (just a bit unnerving) to see what was cooking.Overall, it was a great experience and we would like to visit this house again in the future. ##### Denise B.

The bed sheets were old and the master comforter was torn. Pillows were also old and needed to be replaced. None of the windows had curtains or shades or anything- so nobody could sleep in. Literally no privacy in the bedrooms. When we arrived we couldn’t get in, as we didn’t realize there were 3 lock boxes. Had to wait an hour for a call back from rental manager to get in. ##### Gigi G.

Heater worked well to keep the house warm. Five stars overall with the following suggestions for improvement: —king bed in master bedroom is sinking. We had to move to the downstairs bedroom after a sleepless night there —one bed in upstairs bedroom had not had sheets changed from the prior guest —back door to the hot tub cannot be left unlocked and we locked ourselves out when using the hot tub (thankfully averted disaster by locking the front door) One of the wonderful things about this home is the quiet neighborhood and that it’s across the street from a large forest that was wonderful to explore and play in during the winter for our family. ##### Nardine R.

The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Outside the home was great. I was not impressed with the home. The home did not have any window treatments at all on the windows. It felt uneasy without even a curtain to close. There was a leak of melting snow over the kitchen countertop that constantly leaked water. A lot of the receptacles in the kitchen did not work. ##### James M.
