When going to Tahoma it is like stepping back into time. The area is dotted with summer cottages, historic homes and even a bed and breakfast. Its charm becomes apparent almost immediately because it is very quiet and even in the summer the most crowded part of the community is the beach, which is interesting because one is able to wander along it and hardly see a soul, save a relaxing family. |
