Inside Scoop - What's Happening In Incline Village

Summer in Incline Village has a rhythm to it — music drifting up from the lake, restaurants filling their patios, and a community calendar that never quite runs out of things to do. Here's a little of what's been happening around town this week, along with a special log home on Douglas Court worth a look.

Music has been especially present on the UNR Incline Village campus this month, where the Classical Tahoe Music Festival has filled the Ricardi Pavilion with orchestral, jazz, and chamber performances against a backdrop of pine trees and lake views. The most recent concert closed out the series with a performance by local pianist Kendall Hoops, whose playing gave the evening a personal, hometown touch that felt fitting for a festival so rooted in this community. It's the kind of night that reminds you why Incline Village's small-town summer concerts can hold their own against much bigger stages.

Around town, the local dining scene has its usual mix of quiet gems and lively specials worth keeping an eye out for. The Grille at the Chateau runs a daily happy hour with easygoing prices on cocktails, draft beer, and house wine, plus a newer Sunday brunch special for anyone looking for a relaxed midday meal with a view of the course. If you're out on a Thursday night, Alibi Ale Works turns up the fun with karaoke — always a good time whether you're singing or just watching from the bar. And if you're more in the mood to move than sing, Incline Public House hosts line dancing on Fridays, so dust off your boots and come ready to two-step. Specials around Incline Village tend to shift with the season, so it's worth keeping an eye on local restaurant pages and asking your server what's new when you're out and about.

To close things out, I want to share a home that's just come on the market: a classic log home on Douglas Court (pictured above). This one is another legacy build from Alan Richards, whose craftsmanship has quietly defined a certain style of mountain living in Incline Village for decades. What stands out most walking through this home is how well it has held up — the log structure is tight, true, and shows the kind of quality construction that simply isn't replicated in newer builds. It's a great example of a log home that has genuinely stood the test of time. If you're drawn to warm wood interiors, solid craftsmanship, and a piece of Incline Village's architectural history, this one is worth a look.
