Managing a home in the Sierra Nevada isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about endurance. Harsh winters, short summers and seasonal guests can make local property ownership a bit of a balancing act. Property management companies here do more than oversee rental calendars or mow lawns. They act as stewards — preserving value, solving problems and ensuring peace of mind for both homeowners and renters. The Best of North Lake Tahoe and Truckee recognizes property management professionals who consistently exceed expectations in this high-demand, high-altitude market.
With services that stretch from soil to ceiling, Peak Landscaping and its sister company Peak Home Care form a comprehensive solution for second homeowners and locals alike. What began as a landscaping and snow removal service has evolved into a multifaceted business that also handles full-scale property management. Their home care division offers everything from security checks and storm preparation to appliance oversight and contractor coordination. The team prides itself on taking a proactive approach — anticipating what a property needs before something goes wrong.
Tahoe Luxury Properties specializes in the kind of full-service property management that pairs well with high-end homes and discerning clients. Founded in 1994, the company has grown into a trusted name on both the California and Nevada sides of the lake. Their approach is distinctly white-glove. They handle everything from vacation rental marketing to 24/7 guest services and routine maintenance, all while maintaining an in-house real estate team. Their ability to manage luxury estates while preserving each home’s individual character speaks to their attention to detail.
A Step Above lives up to its name with a niche focus on personalized property care. The Truckee-based company blends concierge-level service with practical know-how, making it a favorite for absentee homeowners who want eyes on the ground. From pre-arrival home staging to regular inspections and snow removal, their offerings go beyond standard checklists. They work closely with each homeowner to create a customized plan, often acting as the local liaison for service providers and emergency repairs.
