Grilling in the Mountains
Tahoe’s summer evenings are perfect for outdoor cooking. With a gas grill on a private deck or patio, you can shop for groceries, cook on your own schedule, and skip the restaurant wait on a busy summer weekend.
It works well in other seasons, too. Fall evenings are among the best for grilling around the lake, with cooler temperatures and fewer crowds. Even in early winter before the snow gets heavy, a covered deck with a grill extends the outdoor experience well past what most guests expect.
For groups and families, having a grill also changes the economics of the trip. Cooking a few meals instead of eating out every night adds up quickly, especially over a long weekend or a full week. A rental with a good outdoor setup lets you do both without feeling like you’re missing out either way.
Great Spots to Grill Around the Lake
The setting of your rental shapes the whole grilling experience. Location matters when it comes to outdoor cooking at Tahoe, and our properties offer two distinct options.
Lakefront Decks
Lake Tahoe rental cabins on the lakefront with outdoor grills are the most sought-after option. A deck that faces the water gives you one of the better backdrops for an outdoor meal anywhere in the Sierra Nevada. Many of our lakefront properties have covered decks that work even when afternoon thunderstorms roll through, which is common in summer.
Mountain-View Patios
Properties set back from the water but in the surrounding forest and mountain neighborhoods offer their own version of the outdoor cooking experience. Wooded lots, pine tree canopy, mountain views, and private patios that feel removed from everything around them. These properties tend to have more space, more privacy, and a more true cabin atmosphere than lakefront properties, and their grilling setups reflect that with larger outdoor living areas. For groups who want a full backyard BBQ setup rather than a deck overlooking the water, these properties often deliver a better overall outdoor experience.
What to Expect from Our Lake Tahoe Rentals with an Outdoor Grill
Our grill-equipped properties vary in size and setup, but here’s what you can expect across our rentals:
- Gas grills at most properties, charcoal at select locations
- Grilling tools and basic supplies are provided at many properties
- Covered or partially covered outdoor dining areas adjacent to the grill at larger homes
- Outdoor seating and dining tables for eating outside
- Private patios and decks, not shared common areas
Our properties with grills include a full kitchen, living space, and a private outdoor area that belongs entirely to your group. Our vacation home rentals include smaller mountain cabins and larger lakefront homes with full outdoor entertaining setups.
A few things worth planning around before your trip:
- Propane tanks are typically full at check-in and replaced as needed, but confirm with the property ahead of time if you’re planning multiple large cookouts
- Some properties in forested areas have fire restrictions during high-risk periods in summer. Gas grills are usually exempt, but it’s worth checking current conditions before you arrive
- Grocery stores are available in South Lake Tahoe, Tahoe City, and Incline Village, so stocking up on arrival is straightforward
