Chambers Landing Restaurant The building we know today as Chambers Landing was started by John Washington McKinney when he founded Hunter's Retreat in 1863, a hunting and fishing camp in the Sierra Nevada. The current Chambers Bar building was built in 1875. It was the first boathouse on Tahoe and also doubled as a bar and clubhouse. In Homewood in the late 19th Century, the "Tahoe Steamer" used to pull up to the Chambers dock that led to a building that housed a post office, a sundry store and a saloon. In 1920, David Henry Chambers purchased McKinney's Hunter's Resort from the Westhoffs and renamed it Chambers Lodge. Ernest Kettenhoffen purchased the property in 1956 and in 1969 sold Chambers Lodge to the Pirini Corporation.
In 2023, Chris Fanini, best known as a co-founder of Weebly, was an investor in a group that acquired Chambers Landing Bar and Grill in 2023 and took over the restaurant and bar from its previous management, Rick Brown.
In 2024 Fanini took over the restaurant entirely, folding Chambers Landing Pier Bar and Bar and Grill Restaurant into a new company called Anidel Hospitality Group.
The property is still owned by an organization made up of Chambers Landing h>omeowners.
