Mourelatos History

Timeless family traditions

Cherished for Over 50 Years

For over half a century, Mourelatos Lakeshore Resort has stood as a cherished family legacy, transcending its status as a mere lakeside retreat. Nestled amidst the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains, this very popular resort serves as a sanctuary where generations of families converge to craft enduring memories.

Within its secluded confines, laughter reverberates among the towering pines, while the soft sands of the private beach beckon visitors to embark on barefoot adventures. Here, amidst the gentle embrace of the forest, families return year after year, drawn by the allure of shared moments and cherished traditions.

The resort’s rich history traces back to 1942 when Thomas James laid its foundational stones, establishing a legacy of hospitality that would endure for decades. However, it was a pivotal moment in January 1978 that forever altered its course. Andreas and Mary Mourelatos, captivated by the pristine beauty of Lake Tahoe, embarked on a transformative journey to claim this idyllic haven as their own. Throughout triumph and tragedy, the Mourelatos family poured their hearts into the resort, sculpting it into a beacon of warmth and hospitality. From the ashes of the devastating fire of 1994 arose a renewed dedication to excellence, as meticulous renovations breathed new life into the cherished retreat.

Today Mourelatos Lakeshore Resort is financially thriving, as one of North Shore’s most popular 3-star resorts with 4.6 stars on google. It remains steadfast in its commitment to preserving the dream forged over 50 years ago—a haven where families and friends can revel in the embrace of Greek hospitality amidst the unparalleled beauty of Lake Tahoe.
