I am taking a look at some of the privately owned condo complexes on the north shore----most don't say whether they have AC or not. Do you need it in July? My hubby always has the air on and wouldnt be comfortable if it got hot or muggy. I've read a couple of posts where its gotten hot in tahoe. please advise

Never muggy in Tahoe. I've never been hot inside a condo or cabin in Tahoe. Tho standing, hiking or laying out in the sun would make you hot the usual 80 dagrees in the summer never feels hot among the trees.

We were in Tahoe this weekend (as was Suzie, I think). I can't recall whether all those privately-owned condos do or do not have A/C, but we definitely used the A/C in our condo at Northstar this weekend -- and don't think I would have slept well without it. Tahoe weather was spectacular!

Tahoe is over 6000 feet and the word "muggy" doesn't really apply. If you have dry skin/hair -- bring heavy duty moisturizers. Typical summer humidity will be in the low 20%-ish range. a/c is not really an issue.

While I haven't stayed at Sunnyvale, I have had brunch there several times. It's a beautiful location. You really can't go wrong. Have a nice lunch at Garwood's Grill in Carnelian Bay. And if you're not driving...have a Wet Woody cocktail, or two. Enjoy!

Lake Tahoe is a treasure which would meet all your expressed needs.
We have really enjoyed staying on the west shore of Tahoe--less crowded and commercial than the north and south shores. Our favorite place to stay is a B&B called The Cottage Inn near Sunnyside. Here's the website address: http://www.thecottageinn.com The people who run the inn are great at restaurant recommendation. We prefer the Inn over condos because it is so like "old Tahoe." A wonderful breakfast is included as well as beach and pier access. I think there are a few rooms with a bit of a water view. For more "old Tahoe," visit the Tallac Historic Site to see the "summer homes" of the rich of San Francisco. Also, at Sugar Pine Point, the Ehrman Mansion.
Consider kayaking on the lake and/or taking a white-water rafting excursion on the Truckee--too much fun!
