How to Book Lake Tahoe Vacation Rentals at a Huge Discount

Are you Ready? The comfort, space and privacy of Lake Tahoe rental vacation homes are a “must book” for your next family vacation. If you've spent most of your vacations in hotels, enjoying the convenience and location, now is the time to venture out of your norm and try an accommodation with style. If you've never reserved a lakefront or mountain view Tahoe cabin, it is only a matter of renting your first one and you'll be hooked for life.

No hotel experience in the world can offer the pleasures, savings and comfort of lodging in a vacation home – where just the kitchen is the size of the whole hotel room. Vacation homes offer privacy, comfort, and best of all, the amenities are free. It's the ultimate stress-free vacation. Fully-equipped kitchens are perfect for family holidays, delicious home cooked food and visiting (what room does everyone end up in anyway?). In a vacation home, you can play board games, you have the space to spread out and scrapbook or build Lego fortresses, no one has to sleep on a rollaway bed, and you still get the convenient location to enjoy  all the wonderful summer and winter outdoor activities. These are just a few of the benefits that make nationwide vacation home rentals the fastest growing segment of the travel industry. Now, what if you could combine all of that comfort, space and fun with a cool deal on your accommodations?

Here is the secret to saving big bucks booking Lake Tahoe Rentals.

Families from the San Francico bay area travel to the Lake Tahoe region for family vacaions. Here you will find some tips on how to save money wen renting your families next Tahoe vacation home and come home with money left over.

First you you should do a cost comparison of Lake Tahoe rentals vs. Lake Tahoe hotels. For purposes of this article, I have used average nightly rate pricing on a few of the nicer hotels and vacation homes in the area.

#1) Place a call to a local Lake Tahoe hotel for pricing and ask for their best deal. You will find the average 400 square foot room rents at an average nightly rate of $200.00 per night. Since you are bringing the family you will need at least two rooms. That’s 400.00 bucks for 800 square feet of room per night. A three-night stay would end up costing $1,200.00 just for the rooms. Never mind getting to and from your rooms, the noise, housekeeping, expensive food, hard pillows, and expansive views of… the parking lot.

#2) Now let’s examine the cost on Lake Tahoe rentals. Most Tahoe vacation homes are 3+ bedrooms, averaging 1600 square feet. That is twice the amount of space vs. two hotel rooms. The average cost for a nice peaceful middle-of-the road home is $250 per night. A three-night stay would cost you just $750.00, saving you $450 for lift tickets, dinners, Sea-Doo rentals, shopping or a late night show at the casino.

So how do you find one of these Lake Tahoe vacation rentals and come home with money left over?

#3) That's the easy part – all you have to do is hop on the internet and type a in a search like “Reserve Tahoe Rentals" or "Book Tahoe Rentals." Your search results will provide you several companies offering accommodations at some really cool rates. This winter Lake Tahoe will be a travel hot spot and a skier’s wonderland. Now is the time to start planning your Thanksgiving family reunion, Christmas-in-Tahoe holiday or a ski week on the North or South Shore.

Don’t forget to ask “Google Maps” to show you the home. This is an amazing feature that will give you a great view of the outside of the home and neighborhood. Another tip: grab some lift tickets in advance – many resorts sell discounted tickets outside of their immediate area before and during the ski season. Just like hotels, vacation home rentals often have last-minute and early bird booking benefits, two-for-one promotions, extra-night-free deals, and more. These discounts, combined with the already much lower prices of a vacation home vacation, have me wondering what you’re waiting for.
