More upscale restaurant right on the waters edge! Garwood's has great food and is known for their "Rum-Runners", which is a frozen cocktail you have to try! Great for couples looking for a romantic evening, or families looking to enjoy a more formal dinner.

City advice
What to pack
Always check the weather!
Lake Tahoe can have very unpredictable weather, so make sure you are prepared for anything! In the winter, make sure you bring plenty of warm clothes and waterproof shoes and jackets, as the snow can be very wet. Also, warm thick socks or slippers are always nice to have while lounging at the condo.
In the summer, the area is very nice and gets pretty warm. Bring plenty of summer time clothing, but don't forget a windbreaker or light jacket for the night time, as temperatures drop when the sun goes down!
