Spas & Relaxation
Lake Tahoe has many spa locations that will get even the most tense mothers to relax and unwind. The Spa at the Landing Tahoe offers facials, massages and body treatments for different conditions and needs. Our favorite is the hydrating Emerald Bay facial. Their menu is quite extensive and they offer online reservations.
Consider joining mom for a deep tissue or hot stone massage available at many of the spas on the south shore. You can get a massage at BioSpirit Day Spa with a eucalyptus steam treatment included in the price. If you feel like you need a customized facial, check out the Elements of Tahoe day spa. If you’ve already enjoyed the spectacular view from the Bistro at Edgewood Tahoe and are curious what else they have to offer, the Spa at Edgewood Tahoe offers the ultimate relaxation experience.

Mom wants to go shopping on Mother’s Day? Of course she does. Lake Tahoe offers lots of shopping options and places to explore. The shops at Heavenly Village is a one-stop shop where you’ll find local artisan goods as well as designer brands, popular restaurants and an outdoor pavilion. With so many shops and eateries, you can easily spend the entire day there. If you want to shop local arts and crafts check out one of these places.
Enjoy the Outdoors
Head over to Tahoe Bike Company and take a Surrey for a spin! These two, four, and six person bikes are a great way to get lakeside and see it all in half the time that it takes to walk.
With so many hiking trails in Lake Tahoe, it’s easy to take Mom out for a day in the outdoors. Whether you choose to hike to a hidden waterfall, discover the historic town of Genoa, experience the charm of Virginia City, or go for a scenic day cruise on Lake Tahoe, there are plenty of attractions and activities to do outside.
