From our home in Danville, it is an easy 3.5-hour drive.To break up the drive, we also stopped in Truckee for breakfast and enjoyed ‘world class‘people watching in this charming town. There are many breakfast choices. We enjoyed a hearty meal at ‘Coffee and Coffee’.
The Hyatt Regency resort features ‘something for everyone’
including restaurants, spa, pool, beaches, casino tennis and golf at
nearby Incline Village.
After checking in, we walked to the nearby beach and enjoyed
a great afternoon of warm mountain sunshine and watching people
enjoy themselves boating, swimming and lounging on comfortable umbrella covered
chairs on the beach of beautiful Lake Tahoe.
Due to Covid 19, the only restaurant open was the Lone Eagle
Inn. It opens at 7 and closes at 10 serving a variety of delicious items.
Reservations are highly recommended as the hotel has been full since reopening
in June.
We enjoyed a great dinner on the patio of this massive
restaurant just a few yards from the soothing sounds of waves rolling to the
beach.
We met Chef Justin and especially enjoyed his barbecued
rolled salmon with crab meat frisse on top. Linda said it was one of the best dishes she has eaten and she is a ‘salmon specialist’.
The Baked Tahoe dessert in the shape of a pine cone with lightly
browned marshmallows and filled with chocolate and toffee ice cream was also
awesome.
The next day we played the Championship Course at Incline
Village. The course has friendly tees for golfers of all skill levels. The
Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed course is in magnificent condition and meanders
majestically thru the thousands of large pine trees exhaling fresh, pure
mountain air.
The snack shack offers great breakfast sandwiches before your
round and great tuna sandwiches and drinks during your round. The
restaurant is also open for lunch and dinner. It is a ‘must play’ golf
course in Lake Tahoe.
After golf, we returned to the hotel and rested before
enjoying a fun and unique dinner at nearby La Fondue.
Owner Jesus Hernandez has been serving loyal Incline
residents and tourists for 6 years. A variety of Fondues are offered to satisfy
any ‘foodie’ palate.
We enjoyed the combination special which is a great way to
sample all of the choices. Cheese, beef, chicken, shrimp, lamb, meat balls and
vegetables are included with a choice of soup or salad.
There is also an extensive wine and beer list and a $20
corking fee if you bring your own wine.
For dessert, we would recommend sharing the vanilla ice cream
elegantly presented with a variety of sauces. It is a great way to
complete your La Fondue experience.
In conclusion, Lake Tahoe is a ‘slice of heaven and fun
place to enjoy an escape from the stress and rigors of daily life.
