Emerald Bay - Lake Tahoe

Early this past week we took a day trip to Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe. We hit one of the last days of fall as winter weather and snow came a day or two later!

Behind us is Fanette Island with a little castle structure known as Tea House where a women who lived on the shore (picture later) and her guests would row out to enjoy tea. It is just a shell now.

The mile hike down to the shore was beautiful.

Geoff tried out a wide picture-taking feature on our phone camera

This beautiful home known as Vikingsholm sits right on Emerald Bay. It was built in 1929 using Scandinavian architecture and furnishings. It was closed for the season but even the outside was gorgeous. A Mrs. Knight lived owned this property, as well as Tea Island.
