Northern California is home of the easiest Family Vacation you'll ever book. While the concept of finding suitable activities for children of several ages, booking affordable accommodations and dining, not to mention scheduling actual downtime for parents to put their feet up and relax may seem idealistic, I assure you it is possible. The Lake Tahoe basin and surrounding areas of Graeagle, Mount Shasta and Plumas County are Mother Nature's theme park for families of all ages and interests. Renowned golf courses meet luxury spas, a wealth of outdoor activities and crystal clear skies more than 274 days of the year. Read on for tips on planning your vacation right the first time.
Accommodations
If I have the stereotype right, Mom is looking for a romantic woodsy setting with an onsite spa and a little privacy from the kids; Dad wants affordable prices and a flat screen TV to watch his games; and the kids want a pool. Too much to ask, you say? Not to us! Chalet View Lodge in Graeagle, California, has all you are asking for and more, just out the steps of your private suite or cabin. Send the kids out to the pool or racquetball courts while Dad works on his chip shot on the Executive Course and Mom goes to the gym before her massage at the Inn's onsite spa. Join together again for dinner on the porch and watch the sun go down behind the pine trees.
Activities for Kids and Kids-at-Heart
During the summer, Plumas County is famous for many " 'ings" – fishing, swimming, golfing, biking and hiking, to name a few. Graeagle, Lake Tahoe and Mount Shasta are within easy reach of one another and offer slightly different venues for the same fun activities. Cast your rod out Chalet View Lodge's front door for a chance at hooking a bass in Feather Lake, let a local guide take you and the little ones fishing on the calm expanse of Lake Shasta, or float the rambling Truckee River in self-guided rafts in Tahoe City. Seek out any of Graeagle's six renowned golf courses, including some nine-hole courses perfect for the kids. Miles of trails intertwine among the tall pines behind Chalet View Lodge, offering safe and exciting mountain biking or day hikes for everyone.
Tips for Planning Ahead
