The North Shore is my favorite, Incline Village to Sunnyside. There are a huge amount of places to stay from Five Star resorts to one room cabins it all depend on your taste and budget. I personally like the Hyatt in Incline Village http://laketahoe.hyatt.com or I rent a house/condo with view and Hot Tub. Check out http://www.gotahoenorth.com is a great site for all things North Shore. Now as for things to do: rent a couple kayaks for a day, take a hike out into one of the wilderness areas, pamper yourselves with a couple’s spa/massage, eat great, relax and enjoy!
