Viktoria

Owner

Hi! My name is Viktoria (Tor) McNamara and I live in the Lake Tahoe area full time with my husband Chris McNamara and our two kids. I have been professionally managing successful vacation rental properties for over six years and always am interested in checking out new and beautiful hospitality experiences to share with others. I sincerely enjoy any opportunity to be able to share adventures and amazing spaces with new people. When I am not running successful boutique rentals, you can usually find me mountain biking, hiking or snowboarding somewhere in the Tahoe basin. I feel very fortunate to call this incredible playground home but what’s even more inspiring is the world class community that comes along with
