Lake Tahoe, California
The laid-back vibe in this area makes this winter vacation feel especially welcoming to families with kids. Accommodations are top-notch but not in a snobby kind of way. And the rooms at the Ritz are more than ample enough for a whole family to share.
The hotel has many dining options, and kids are welcome at even their signature restaurant, Manzanita. But why are we really recommending this hotel?
The can’t-miss highlight for families in winter at this location is “Marshmology,” a daily afternoon s’more tasting by fire pits. And let’s be honest. The sugar rush is always a welcome, delicious treat after a long day in the snow.
For those who want to remain OFF the slopes during their winter vacation, you can take a short trip aboard the Highlands Gondola to visit the Village at Northstar.
It’s home to multiple restaurants and numerous non-ski activities, including ice-skating, bungee trampolines, and even a relaxing movie theater.
