Tallac Luxury Lodge Vacation Rental
The Tallac Lodge luxury vacation rental is a luxury home that is very unique because it backs up to U.S. Forest Land while still only being only 1/8 mile from Lake Tahoe and one of the few dog friendly beaches in north Tahoe (Patton Beach). Guests can easily walk to the lake, Carnelian Bay, and multiple restaurants including Old Post Office Coffee Shop, CB`s Pizza, Watermans Landing, and Gar Woods Bar and Grill.

The 6 bedroom, 6.5 bath house is designed and outfitted differently so it is not your typical "rental" property.

These bedrooms are nicely spaced apart for comfort and privacy, with one suite on the main floor, two suites on the second floor, and one large suite with a peek lake views in an apartment-like setting over the garage (accessible from the interior of the house). All of these suites have flat-screen, high definition televisions, internet connected Blu-Ray DVD players, and iPhone/iPad connectors. The remaining bedroom on the first floor has two twin beds, and close and easy access to a large bathroom with giant stall shower that also serves as the ground floor guest bath.

There is a full bath between the kitchen and living room. The living room features 30 foot cathedral ceilings, rock fireplace, large sectional micro-suede sofa, 50` flat screen tv with surround sound, Apple TV, and Ipod docking station. The large redwood deck is just off the living room with a fenced yard, 8 person hot tub, patio furniture, and propane BBQ. Further down the hallway from the living room is a bedroom with a queen bed with flat screen tv, a bedroom with 2 twin beds, and another full bathroom.

Second Level: Upstairs is the gabled-ceiling media room, with two couches, a full audio-visual system with Dolby 5.1 surround sound, giant LED HDTV with Sony Xbox, and internet connected Blu-Ray player and foos ball table. Just off the media room is a half-bath and laundry with washer and dryer, and down the hall are two bedroom suites with queen beds and each with their tub and shower.

Third Level: A master suite with hardwood floors, sitting area, Flat Screen TV, King Bed, Japanese soaking tub, walk in slate shower, and great views of the forest.

Bedroom Above the Garage: This suite is accessed either by the main house near the kitchen or through the garage. The spacious bedroom includes an attached bath, tv, and some lake views from the bedroom windows.

*For larger groups including family reunions and weddings, this luxury rental is 100 yards from both the Beadle Vacation Cottage and the Dale Lake View Vacation Rental.

Black Tie & Tails Gala

The 4th Annual Black Tie & Tails Gala celebrating community, canines and compassion is taking place on Saturday, February 18th at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe. The Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe puts on this fundraiser to help cats and dogs in the area.

This is a one-of-a-kind, black-tie optional event, over 300 guests will be greeted by a Hollywood-style red carpet entry, immediately followed by the swankiest of champagne and hors d'oeuvre receptions complete with passed appetizers for your dogs, an elegant dining experience that only the The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe could provide, music, dancing and unexpected entertainment!

We have many dog friendly vacation rentals that are close to the event.

Even if you can not attend the event you can contribute to help:

Help Orphaned Kittens

Every spring, we are inundated with loads of kittens. The litters sometimes come to us without their mothers or, in some cases, the mother cat isn’t healthy enough to provide enough milk for her babies.

The cost of milk replacement for a needy litter of kittens runs about $16.00/day for an average sized litter needing to be fed every 2-3 hours. A kittens' growth and development needs require extra protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals to get the right start in life.

Make a contribution

Help Homeless Puppies

Yes, even puppies can find themselves without a home. It’s hard to believe, but every year the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe rescues multiple puppies. Baby dogs have different nutritional needs than adult dogs, so we need to invest in their future health by feeding them good quality puppy food.

The cost of high-calcium, vitamin-rich food with essential nutrients is approximately $8.50/day for an average sized litter of growing puppies.

Make a contribution

Make a Dog Healthier

A long-term benefit of spaying and neutering is improved health for both cats and dogs. Spaying females prior to their first heat cycle nearly eliminates the risk of breast cancer and totally prevents uterine infections and uterine cancer. Neutering males prevents testicular cancer and enlargement of the prostate gland, and greatly reduces their risk for perianal tumors.

Because of these health factors, not to mention pet overpopulation, the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe spays/neuters every pet we re-home. Please help us continue improving the health of pets in our community by choosing this item.

The average cost of one dog spay/neuter is $150.00.

Make a contribution

Stop Cat Overpopulation

The rate at which animals multiply is astounding. For example, a cat can produce 3 litters in one year, with an average of 5 kittens per litter. If each of these 15 new cats goes on to have more kittens, the problem can get out of control very quickly.

The Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe sterilizes every pet we adopt out, thereby decreasing animal relinquishment, negative animal behavior (roaming and biting) and our local homeless pet population. Spaying and neutering our areas’ pet population is important to the overall health of our community in so many ways. Please choose to help.

The average cost of one cat spay/neuter is $100.00.

Make a contribution

Cat Toys & Dog Treats

Homeless cats and dogs need to play, enjoy delicious treats and generally be spoiled too! The environment at the shelter can sometimes be very stressful for our reluctant tenants but we try to comfort them in any way possible. Cats love to play with fuzzy mice, puppies love to chew squeaky toys, older dogs find comfort in a stuffed animal and they all love to have special treats. Please help us care for them in the best way possible and ease their sorrow while staying in the shelter. You can make their wait for a forever family a better one with this option.

The cost for some treats and toys for one month is $50.00.

Tough Mudder Event at Squaw Valley


Squaw Valley will be hosting the Tough Mudder event from September 17 and 18.

Tough Mudder is not your average lame-ass mud run or spirit-crushing ‘endurance’ road race. It’s Ironman meets Burning Man, and it is coming to a location near you. Our 10-12 mile obstacle courses are designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. Forget finish times. Simply completing a Tough Mudder is a badge of honor. Tough Mudder has raised over one million dollars for the Wounded Warrior Project.

WARNING: Tough Mudder is 3-4 times longer and MUCH TOUGHER than a typical mud run such as Warrior Dash. On average, only 78% of participants finish a Tough Mudder event. Only those in strong physical condition should enter.

Post Party

After you finish the course, grab a beer and hang out with your fellow mudders. There’ll be a band and lots of food for sale.

Tough Mudder will also be offering tattoos of our bad-ass logo to all finishers who truly want to commemorate their epic achievement. They are on a first come, first serve basis and everyone who gets a tattoo will be given free entry into the Tough Mudder event of their choice. Be sure to customize it by having the event date and location put on–keep adding as you go to record all your epic Mudder adventures.

No, there are no showers. Yes, there will be firemen with a hose.

Awards

Tough Mudder Respect Awards

For participants who have overcome illness, injury or misfortune. For further details see here.

Costume Awards

Best costume — Most Bad-Ass
Worst costume — Most Dumb-Ass
Least Clothing — Most Ass

Free Head-Shaves To be Provided – Award Best Mullet & Best Mohawk – Prize TBD

Free Tattoos

A voucher for a tattoo of our logo will be available on event day to anyone tough enough to want one.

Remember, they are on a first come, first serve basis, so be sure to get there early.

There are no monetary prizes at Tough Mudder. However, the top 5% of all finishers will qualify for World’s Toughest Mudder to be held in 2011.
