Recommended Adventures.
Incredible service and personal care makes ESSENTUALE experiences far different.

Hi. I'm Kim Grohe, certified Pilates instructior, fitness and fashion model, expert downhill and cross-country skier.

I'm the ESSENTUALE PCA in Lake Tahoe. If you come visit Squaw Creek I will take care of you and your guests.

Living in the area for over 20 years I know all the places to go and those to avoid. Use the contact form and I will reply about your visit to Lake Tahoe.

ESSENTUALE provides personal and unparalleled service.

Instead of saying "that was nice", you'll be saying "that was incredibly perfect in every way."

Typically when you book a trip on your own or through an Agent or Broker you are 'hoping' to discover the best restaurants, experiences and adventures in the area.

ESSENTUALE assures you have the ultimate worry-free experience by providing two types of unique highly personalized services depending on your adventure:
ESSENTUALE VIP Concierge Service (for all locations)
ESSENTUALE PCA Service
(in most locations)

Your VIP Concierge assures your itinerary.
You'll never have to phone ahead or worry about a thing. Your dedicated ESSENTUALE Personal Concierge does it all for you.
Staff greet you by name, know exactly when you'll arrive, depart and what you'll need throughout your itinerary. How? Your VIP Concierge tracks and manages all of your arrangements and personal requests calling ahead every step of the way to make sure you don't have to. It's a level of care not found anywhere other than ESSENTUALE. ESSENTUALE has agreements with Recommended and Approved properties to make sure you get the very best possible care. If anything is not 'perfect' during your adventure, ESSENTUALE will quickly resolve it to your total satisfaction.

PCA stands for Personal Care Associate.
You can think of PCAs as local friends in the location you are visiting. In most cases they were the ones who recommended the featured location to ESSENTUALE... or were recommended by others to ESSENTUALE... or are recommended by ESSENTUALE. Kim, shown above, is an example.

In all cases PCAs are trusted friends of ESSENTUALE yet have no affiliation with the Featured Property or experience. They are associated with ESSENTUALE but not paid by ESSENTUALE. This means they have no bias.

PCAs are a key element to the unparalleled service ESSENTUALE provides.
Most of the locations ESSENTUALE features will offer ESSENTUALE PCA services. Some do now. Instead of relying on your hotel concierge or travel books or articles you may have read when you visit an area, an ESSENTUALE PCA will give you the real facts - and will offer other options that only someone local and trusted would know of.

ESSENTUALE PCAs build personal relationships.
Each PCA truly cares that your experience is the best it can be. They may make their own recommendations on special places to go (and places to avoid), special events and more, based on your preferences. They may also be able to get you special treatment at the 'in' spots in their location and can tell you about places and things to do that only someone local would know of. All live in the area and know it well.

Most PCAs are also personal trainers or have special talents they can provide that relate to the location they live in. Many are multi-talented.

All PCAs are exceptional people.
They may offer certified fitness training, teach you how to sail or fish, Captain a boat or plane for you, take you whitewater rafting, be your guide, or provide other unique services depending on their talents, expertise and the location. PCAs set their own prices and are paid directly by you when you visit our featured properties or embark on our featured adventures or experiences of a lifetime.

Contact your PCA before you go, while you're there, and after.
You can email the ESSENTUALE PCA in the location you choose for local information before you go, while you are at the location, or afterwards. This is free of charge.
At their discretion the PCA may also provide you with their local phone number.

ESSENTUALE PCAs are unique people that love what they do.
PCAs enjoy helping people achieve their dreams and live the Essentuale Lifestyle. They are not paid by the Property, experience or by ESSENTUALE... yet have a personal interest in helping you achieve your dreams by being associated with ESSENTUALE.

With ESSENTUALE VIP Concierge Service and our growing network of ESSENTUALE Personal Care Associates, ESSENTUALE experiences and adventures are assured to be dreams come true.
