Your missing the true flavor and history of the Lake Tahoe area if you don't pay a visit to this site. The annual Gatsby event is a highlight.

great place to take a easy walk in south shore, good for history buffs and out of town visitors who want to learn about the area.

We were walking in snow..My toes were frozen and I could not leave..It was mesmerizing..A walk back in time to the beautiful 1920's...Close your eyes and love this moment in time

We've been to Tahoe too many times to count and have never visited the Tallac site. We have often gone into Tayor Creek which is adjacent to Tallac to enjoy the trails and fish spawning, not knowing that such a gem existed just a few hundred yards away.

Nice historic site. Very clean grounds, nice shady paths to walk around. Peaceful. Great place to take photos of Lake Tahoe.

These summer houses of the wealthy are lovely to walk round. None were open as it was out of season when I visited, but many had doors you could peer through to see how the toffs and the servants used to live. Very interesting.

Lots of history and photo opportunities here! Beautiful lake views. Allow 1-2 hours to take in the site at leisure.

Overall this was a very interesting site but unfortunately most of the buildings were closed during our visit. We did get to walk the main grounds and the museum house was open. They've done a lot of nice historical restorations including the gardens. Look out for bikers!
