Staying in Homewood
Homewood is the West Shore at its quietest: a string of homes between the lake and a steep, forested ridge, a few minutes south of Tahoe City on CA-89. There is no downtown to speak of, and that is the point. Mornings are for the bike trail and the lake; evenings are for the deck.
In winter, Homewood Mountain Resort is the reason people come: a smaller, uncrowded mountain whose runs look straight down onto the water. In summer, the shoreline, Sugar Pine Point State Park and the paved West Shore trail fill the days.
Getting around
Tahoe City is the nearest place for groceries, restaurants and the Truckee River Trail, about ten minutes north. Palisades Tahoe is roughly twenty-five minutes away, and Emerald Bay about twenty minutes south. CA-89 is the only road along the West Shore, so check conditions in a storm.
Homewood questions

How far is Homewood from Tahoe City?
About ten minutes by car on CA-89, or a flat ride on the West Shore bike trail.
Do I need 4WD in Homewood in winter?
Often, yes. Several West Shore driveways are steep, and each home's page says when 4WD is needed.
