Zephyr Cove sits on Lake Tahoe's East Shore at about 7,281 feet, with about 560 residents in roughly 280 households. About 26 percent of households rent, and the community has one of the highest shares of part-time homes in the region.
When the Census counts more than half the housing units as seasonal, the houses on the shore spend much of the year empty. Furniture in them still ages, gets replaced and needs a home when an owner changes plans.
Vaults hold the pieces a part-time owner takes out, whether for a refresh, a sale or a family handover.
At 7,281 feet, Zephyr Cove has some of the earliest and heaviest winter weather in the service area. The Sparks warehouse is about 53 miles and 72 minutes away, and the trip passes through mountain terrain.
Schedule packing for late spring through fall when you can, and use the winter moving guide for cold-season planning.
Lake houses collect outdoor furniture, guest beds, kayaks and the kinds of pieces that suit a summer home. Wooden vaults measure 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft, and the crew packs and loads everything that fits.
Fine furniture and artwork are wrapped for storage, and the estimator lists them on the inventory.
Vault storage starts at $40 per month. Stored goods ship with about 2 to 3 weeks notice, which suits an owner who plans to reopen the house in the spring.
Estimators visit Zephyr Cove for the free in-home estimate, which includes 10 free heavy-duty boxes. Read seasonal and second-home storage for the full picture.
Owners who close a house in the fall often take out the furniture that suffers most from a long winter, such as upholstered pieces and mattresses. The crew wraps and loads them into vaults before the house shuts.
In spring the vaults come back on a truck with about 2 to 3 weeks notice, and the crew sets the pieces where you want them.

What customers say about O'Brien's
Greg S.
3 O'Brien movers came down from Reno to South Lake Tahoe to assist our company moving a lot of big furniture out of a large warehouse. They showed up on-time, were friendly, and were professional and got the job done quickly and diligently. Will definitely use them again.
Thanks for the great review Greg! We really appreciate you taking the time to do that for us. We look forward to working with you again!
