Review & FAQ:

Located in South Lake Tahoe, California, the Tallac Historic Site was once a world-renowned resort for San Francisco Bay area’s elite families. Today, its 74 acres, comprising the Baldwin Estate, the Pope Estate, and Valhalla, invite you to stroll through its luxurious gardens, visit the museum, and enjoy the magnificent views.

Sink into the “Old Tahoe” lifestyle as nature combined with human architecture makes this a perfect place to see Lake Tahoe from a different perspective. Even though the buildings are closed during winter, it remains a very popular place for skiing and walking in the snow, and offers a completely different landscape compared to that in the summer.
