A longtime family-run resort on Lake Tahoe’s North Shore has changed hands, marking a significant shift for a well-known resort that has anchored the Tahoe Vista waterfront for nearly half a century.
Martis Camp Club has completed its acquisition of the 3.2-acre Mourelatos Lakeshore Resort, a property known for one of the lake’s largest sandy beaches within a commercially zoned area.
Club leaders said the move opens the door for expanded member access and recreation along the shoreline, noting that both the board and the membership overwhelmingly approved the purchase.
“This acquisition reflects our long-term commitment to thoughtful stewardship and the preservation of Lake Tahoe’s natural beauty,” said Colin O’Hanlon, chief operating officer of Martis Camp Club. “Our immediate focus is maintaining the integrity, hospitality, and welcoming spirit of this remarkable property while thoughtfully exploring ways to enhance the experience for our members that honor the community and environment.”
John Cassidy, president of the Martis Camp Club Board of Directors, said the resort’s past remains central to its future. “The Mourelatos Lakeshore Resort is a cherished part of Tahoe’s heritage. We are honored to carry its legacy forward and to continue strengthening our long-standing partnerships and philanthropic efforts throughout the region,” he said.
The acquisition adds to the club’s ongoing community involvement. Through the Martis Camp Foundation, members have contributed over $12 million to local nonprofits and scholarship programs that support North Tahoe and Truckee students.
Alex Mourelatos, general manager of the resort, said the family chose Martis Camp with the future in mind.
“The Mourelatos family is deeply proud of the role this resort has played in the Tahoe Vista community for almost fifty years. From welcoming generations of families to creating lifelong memories along Tahoe’s shoreline, this place has always been about connection, to each other, to the lake, and to the natural beauty that defines it. We chose Martis Camp to continue this stewardship because we know they share our respect for this land, our love for the community it belongs to, and our commitment to ensuring its spirit and sense of place endure for generations to come,” he said.
