With the Labor Day holiday now behind us, the year’s peak period for warm-weather travel has passed. Summer is winding down and, although the autumnal equinox doesn’t actually arrive until September 23, many fall fanatics cannot wait for crisper weather to roll in and the harvest season festivities to start. Some autumn enthusiasts will start amassing all things pumpkin spice, putting together the perfect Halloween costume or crafting Thanksgiving-themed decorations.
But, for all, the annual changing of the leaves from their summer green into hues of yellow, orange and red is a key element of the seasonal experience. There are even those who will travel far from home in pursuit of the places with the most vivid transformation of trees into a rich, multicolored tapestry woven by Mother Nature herself.

The Northern California resort offers a homely and authentic experience that’s also filled with simple luxuries, including incredible views of the changing fall foliage.

Martis Camp Is A Tahoe Mountain Luxury Real Estate Dream Come True
The Lake Tahoe region of northern California is, arguably, the best place in the state for year-round outdoor activities, from world-class mountain biking in the summer to epic skiing in the winter, with hiking, camping, and all manner of lake activities occupying their seasonal niches. It’s an appealing place for a second home for anyone who’s looking for an active lifestyle year-round, no matter what your jam. Anchoring the California side of Lake Tahoe (which encompasses a stretch of Nevada south of Reno, as well) are the towns of Truckee and Tahoe City, both real mountain towns with good healthcare, solid schools, chef-driven restaurants, and year-round communities that thrive in the context of healthy tourism. And the real estate market continues to be nimble, even as it normalizes after the madness of the 2020 pandemic boom.
