Zephyr Cove Resort

Classic Tahoe style cabins, lodge rooms, an RV park and campground, Lakeview restaurant, espresso bar and general store.  Attracting visitors and locals since 1862, Zephyr Cove Resort has a mile of sandy beach, Sunset Beach Bar and Grille, Marina (Summer seasonal), picnic tables, BBQ grills and group areas that welcome up to 2500 people. Day use/parking fee.

Since 1862, when Andrew Gardner first opened the Zephyr Cove House, this beautiful bay in the Southeast corner of Lake Tahoe has been a place known for relaxation and enjoyment. The legacy of hospitality has been passed through many of the most famous names in Tahoe’s history. D. L Bliss, George Whittell, and Bill Harrah were among the few owners of this special location named for the gentle westerly winds that arrive in the afternoons.

The United States Forest Service owns the resort, and is operated by Aramark as a multi-faceted year-round resort, in addition to the restaurant. There are cabins and lodge rooms, an RV park and campground, a general store and gift shop, snowmobile tour center, and riding stables.

The Sunset Bar and Grill overlooks a mile of sandy beach, home to the Zephyr Cove Marina and its expansive fleet of rental boats, jet·ski rentals, parasailing, and Tahoe Sportfishing Charters.

Although the resort offers a variety of activities, it is perhaps best known as the home port of the M. S. Dixie II Sternwheeler.

We invite you to take some time and explore the many offerings of Zephyr Cove Resort. We hope you will discover why this location, for more than 150 years, has been the premier spot to enjoy the pleasures of Lake Tahoe.
