Joe and Hunter Biden holiday at billionaire climate activist’s Lake Tahoe home.

President Biden ‌and Family Enjoying Vacation at‍ Lake Tahoe

SOUTH LAKE ‍TAHOE, California—President Joe Biden,⁣ his⁢ wife Jill, son ⁤Hunter, and other ‍family members ‍have arrived at ‍Lake​ Tahoe for a week⁤ of August ⁣vacation, and they are staying at a home rented from billionaire​ climate activist ⁤Tom Steyer.

The Bidens arrived late on Friday in‌ the Glenbrook community on the eastern shore of ⁣the lake, on the Nevada side. Steyer and his wife, Kat Taylor, own the home but are not present.

Redfin, a real estate brokerage site,‍ describes the $18 million home as “one of Lake⁣ Tahoe’s finest lakefront properties and the pinnacle ‍waterfront estate within‌ the gated⁣ Glenbrook⁤ community,” featuring a “spectacular lakeside gazebo [that] rests between the park-like grounds and the calming shores of Glenbrook Bay.”

Steyer—after ⁤ spending millions of dollars ‌on a campaign to impeach then-president Donald Trump—ran for the Democratic presidential ⁢nomination in 2020⁣ but ​failed to ‌gain traction and ⁤dropped out after the first four ⁢state contests. Biden eventually won the nomination and went⁤ on to defeat Trump.

While Biden has taken free vacations at the⁢ homes of other prominent Democrats, the White House said the president and his family are renting the home at “fair market ‍value.”

Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, ‌flew separately on a commercial flight ⁣with‌ his wife Melissa Cohen and their son Beau and ⁤were already at the residence when the other Bidens arrived, the White House ⁣said.

Hunter Biden is facing a special counsel investigation on tax evasion‍ charges. President Biden, asked about the ‍case at​ a Camp David ​news conference on Friday, declined‍ comment.

Biden is to travel to Hawaii on Monday to get a firsthand‌ look ⁣at the destruction wrought by wildfires that killed dozens of people in Maui.
