Lake Tahoe / Holly's Place

6/21

Every once in a while you find a gem of a place that you will come back to again and again both literally and in the form of fond memories.

 

 

Today I found a place like that tucked into Lake Tahoe just past the Y. It is Holly's place: a property about an acre or two large with many different little cabins that are all very tastefully decorated with both stunning original and reproduced pieces of art and decor. 

 

There is a long history to the property with many ups and downs, but the true heart of the story is when Holly first bought the property in 1992 to provide a safe haven for lesbian couples in an era that was far less excepting of their lifestyle than our own.

The business isn't oriented to capital gain but instead to providing a comfortable and healing stay. I spent a few hours touring the property with Holly and her helping hand Cory. 

 

Holly's partner is a terrific photographer and her work is poignantly displayed in a common room that has a tremendous array of activities at hand along with a fully stocked fridge.

The room rate was lowered because I was a hiker, and it was even a possibility that I could have done some work on the property to go towards my fee.

A great group of humans here. Located just off the lake, and only a few minutes walk from the library, lake, and Safeway. There is a discount for paying cash as well.

I really can't say enough good about this place.
