The Wedding Website of Allie Schratz and Chris Papi
Lake Tahoe is a stunning, sapphire-blue freshwater lake that straddles both California and Nevada. Our wedding will be taking place in California on the WEST side of the lake. We've provided our suggestions for airports and lodging below, as our venue has extremely limited rooms onsite (and they are fully committed for the weekend.) Please note, none of these properties have room blocks, and October can get busy in Tahoe, so it's a good idea to book early! Transportation-wise, since our guests will be staying at various properties, please plan to drive to the venue (Uber is extremely spotty, so we wouldn't recommend relying on it.) There is a parking lot across the street at the Homewood ski resort, and you can leave your car overnight there if needed.

Flight

Sacramento International Airport (SMF)

Sacramento is about a 2-hour drive from the venue and surrounding accommodations. For a weekend trip, this will be your easiest airport option.

Flight

Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO)

The airport in Reno is north of the lake, and is about a 1-hour drive from the venue and surrounding accommodations. Though it's a shorter drive, we'd suggest cross-checking with flights into Sacramento (SMF) to see how prices compare.

Flight

San Francisco International Airport (SFO)

SFO is about a 4-hour drive from the venue and surrounding accommodations. We'd recommend flying in/out of here if you're looking to extend your trip to include time in San Francisco, wine country, and the greater Bay Area; otherwise, we'd suggest looking at flights into Sacramento or Reno.
