About Zephyr Cove, Nevada

Zephyr Cove is an unincorporated community in Douglas County, Nevada, on the east shore of Lake Tahoe. The 2020 Census counted 679 residents in the Zephyr Cove census area, which sits at 6,752 feet. The community takes its name from the Washoe Zephyr, a strong afternoon wind. A Zephyr Cove post office has been open since 1930.

The ZIP code 89448 reaches past the Zephyr Cove census lines. Round Hill Village, Skyland and Lakeridge are counted as their own census places, but homes there carry Zephyr Cove mailing addresses. That's why the sales above name each neighborhood.

Zephyr Cove Resort anchors the waterfront at 760 Highway 50. The U.S. Forest Service bought Zephyr Cove in 1979 for $4.9 million, and Aramark runs the resort under a Forest Service permit. It has lakeside cabins, an RV campground, a full-service marina, a public beach, parasailing and boat rentals. The history goes back to 1862, when Andrew Gardener claimed 160 acres of beachfront and built an inn called Zephyr Cove House.

The M.S. Dixie II paddlewheeler sails from Zephyr Cove year-round. It launched in 1994, seats 500 passengers and runs daytime, dinner and private cruises. The original M.S. Dixie arrived at Tahoe in 1948.

Zephyr Cove Rules: TRPA, Vacation Rentals and Taxes

The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) was formed in 1969 by a compact between California and Nevada, ratified by Congress. It controls land coverage, shorezone work, piers and buoys around the lake. Many Skyland lakefront piers and buoys are grandfathered, and TRPA wouldn't permit their equivalent today.

Douglas County has allowed vacation home rentals in the Tahoe Township since 2005, for stays of 28 days or less. In 2021 the county capped permits at 600. As of September 22, 2026, it had 563 permits, and Elk Point, Lakeridge HOA and Zephyr Heights/Knolls were listed as full neighborhoods with waitlists. See the Douglas County vacation rental waitlist for the current list.

Nevada has no personal income tax, corporate income tax, inheritance tax or estate tax, according to the Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development. That draws many buyers to the Nevada side of the lake.

Zephyr Cove Schools and Getting Around

Douglas County School District serves Zephyr Cove through Zephyr Cove Elementary School and George Whittell High School, which serves grades 6 to 12 at 240 Warrior Way. Matthew graduated from Whittell.

Zephyr Cove Resort is about four miles north of Stateline on U.S. Highway 50, per the U.S. Forest Service. Heavenly's Nevada base areas, Boulder Lodge and Stagecoach Lodge, sit above Stateline. Reno-Tahoe International Airport is about 52 miles away by road.

Matthew Schorr's History in Zephyr Cove

Matthew grew up in Zephyr Cove and went to George Whittell High School. His family has worked in Lake Tahoe real estate since 1981. That year, the family founded McCall Realty in South Lake Tahoe, serving Zephyr Cove, Stateline, Glenbrook and the Carson Valley. The firm later merged into Sierra Sotheby's International Realty. His mother and uncle have both sold homes in the Tahoe Basin.

He earned a B.S. in Finance from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, then started his career in San Francisco. There he joined a real estate development program and became one of the Bay Area's top-producing young agents. He was first licensed in December 2015.

In 2019 he came home. Two of his early Zephyr Cove closings were in Round Hill, on Cheyenne Circle: a $1,650,000 lake-view home he listed, and a single-story home he sold while representing both sides. Today he works on Team Blair Tahoe at Compass as a Senior Sales Associate.

His recent Zephyr Cove work leans toward buyers who want to be close to the water. In 2025 he represented the buyer of 471 Kent Way in Round Hill Village, which closed above asking. In January 2026 he closed the purchase of 213 Cedar Ridge Drive, with Lakeridge's shared 150-foot pier.

Zephyr Cove Roots Beyond Real Estate

Matthew's whole family lives in the Tahoe Basin. He skis, snowmobiles and mountain bikes around the lake year-round. He's also a Tahoe homeowner and investor, and he runs a vacation rental of his own, so he works through Douglas County permit rules and rental cash flow as an owner. He writes about those rules, TRPA pier policy and Nevada tax trends on his Lake Tahoe real estate blog.
