Start Planning: Autumn in Tahoe

Posted on June 3, 2020Author The Perennial TravelerLeave a comment

Ready to plan a fall adventure to Tahoe? Here are some of our favorite activities during this beautiful time of year:

Oktoberfest can be found various places and dates from late September through October. Visit Camp Richardson during the first weekend in October or Squaw Valley on September 19th.

The Kokanee Salmon Festival at Taylor Creek celebrates the fall migration of the Kokanee salmon. This free family event is held October 3rd and 4th. This year, for the first time ever, the Lahontan National Fish Hatchery will release 5,000 large Pilot Peak Lahontan cutthroat trout into their home waters of Lake Tahoe. The public is invited to the restocking of the 12″-14″ sized trout over the course of the weekend.

Apple Hill is open year-round but is always fun during autumn. Pick apples, sample apple ciders and apple pies, visit a winery and enjoy the fall colors!

Planning future adventures? Looking to explore the world beyond our four home resorts? With affiliations all over the world and an in-house direct exchange department, it couldn’t be easier to broaden your horizons! Here’s what you need to know to help your exchange go as smoothly as possible:

Contact us with your exchange request as early as possible (8-12 months out is ideal). The more time you give us, the more likely it is that we’ll be able to find just what you want.
Be as flexible as you can with your travel dates, location, unit size, etc.
Travel off-season! This is a savvy traveller’s best tip. Not only is it easier to find accommodations, but you’ll avoid the crowds everywhere else, too!

Our friendly Direct Exchange Department would love to give you more information and answer any questions you may have. Contact us at (800) 359-6753, and press 2 for the Direct Exchange Department. Or start by exploring our lists of U.S. and International Direct Exchanges.

A Message From Your Club

We hope that this message finds you safe and healthy. While our resorts are currently very quiet, please know that we are taking various precautions to safeguard our club and prepare for your future travels. For example, we are taking advantage of these times to perform many deep cleaning and maintenance activities. At every resort, our staff is meticulously cleaning and sanitizing units and public areas on a regular basis, and will continue to do so. Remote controls, light switches, lamp switches, stove knobs, dishwasher knobs, washer/dryer knobs, coffee pots, DVD players, televisions, fan chains… all of these and more are getting extra attention.

In addition, because our Club is debt-free, we can continue to provide our award-winning vacation experience to our members without any degradation.

We anticipate that all of our resorts will be very busy once the current situation abates, and we are doing everything we can to make sure that our resorts and staff will be ready. We can’t wait to return to helping our members create vacations that enrich their lives.

With best wishes,

Perennial Vacation Club
