Consequential Genoa, near Lake Tahoe and Carson Town in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, is Nevada's oldest settlement. It's the positioning of the Genoa House Hotel , an authentic Victorian home listed in the nation's Register of Historic Places. The house has been revived to the charm and peace of an earlier time. The Rose Room is accented in mallard green and burgundy, has a hand-made barn wood queen-size bed, and is furnished with Victorian antiques. This roomy room has a personal balcony and enormous, stained glass windows. The Blue Room is accented in a soft gray-blue with mahogany antiques and a queen bed. The non-public bath in the hall is equipped with a Jacuzzi tub and an overhead shower. The Garden Room offers a queen bed and is accessed by a delicate trail leading across the yard to a covered porch with a personal entrance.

Take a calming bath in the claw foot tub. Early in the morning, your selection of tea or coffee is brought to your door, followed by a full breakfast served either in your room or in the sunlit dining room. Genoa is a picture of the Old West, with a wide ranging view of the abounding Carson Valley and the close by mountains. Genoa's local activities consist of increasing, ballooning, and cycling in the Valley. The attraction of the old city invites you to an off-the-cuff walk, touring the Victorian houses and antique buildings with their various firms, from Nevada's oldest pub to close by David Walley's Hot Springs. Capture its charm with your camera or merely your heart. Whatever you do, this place will forever remain part of your fondest memories.
