Fodor's Review:
George Whittell, a San Francisco socialite who once owned 40,000 acres of property along the lake, built the Thunderbird Lodge in 1936. You can tour the mansion and the grounds by reservation only, and though it's pricey, it provides a rare glimpse back to a time when only the very wealthy had homes at Tahoe. You can take a bus tour from the Incline Village Visitors Bureau, a 45-passenger catamaran tour from the Hyatt in Incline Village, or a 1950, 21-passenger wooden cruiser from Tahoe Keys Marina in South Lake Tahoe (which includes lunch).
- Cost: $32 bus tour, $60-$110 boat tour
- Open: May-Oct., call for tour times
