There’s everyday life — dense, ever-active, relentless. Then there is the Lost Sierra, a vast landscape of mountains, lakes and characterful towns just a few hours drive away. But the stress of the city has its tentacles in Tahoe and won’t let go.

Thankfully, a short drive north, you break free of the traffic, the lift lines and unavailable tee times to arrive at the jewel of the Lost Sierra: Nakoma Resort — as much a state of mind as a physical place. At the center is Nakoma’s Frank Lloyd Wright Clubhouse, a marvel of imagination brought to life with his trademark interplay of wood, stone and natural light that is a delight to our owners and visitors alike.
