The Heller Estate, east of the Pope Estate, is known as Valhalla: the Viking heaven. Valhalla is managed as the Community Events Center for the site and is operated under a Special Use Permit by the Tahoe Tallac Association. The main building is available for meetings, weddings and other event rentals and presents art exhibits daily. The Estate also prides itself on a beautifully renovated boathouse, now a community theatre, and twin guest cabins that offer fine arts and crafts for sale. All three structures support the Associations annual Arts and Music Festival. - US Forest Service
