About this property
HEAVENLY HOME - Close to slopes and hiking trails
Luxury vacation home. Walk out your door to and walk or bike on hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails in acres of National Forest.
Everything in this custom house is premium and over sized. Extra tall walls and vaulted ceilings. Two large decks for al fresco dining and a giant hot tub.
There are three large private master suites — all three have their own bathrooms, two have their own spa tubs. These work great for couples.
There is also a bonus room with two sets of bunk beds (so four twin beds) - This is really only for kids. It's where ours sleep. This room is open to the stairs and does NOT have a door that closes to keep it separate from the upstairs living room. Our kids sleep in this room and have never had issues going to sleep, but that's our kids (probably too tired from skiing and sledding!). This bunk room also doesn't have it's own bathroom, so kids need to use their parents bathroom or the half bath upstairs.
Luxury finishes ensure a great stay: hardwood floors, rock fireplace, custom alder wood doors & trim throughout the house.
SKIING: House is very close to Heavenly. The California lodge parking is a quick 4 minute drive. Note: there are very few ski in ski out homes at Heavenly. You will need a car and chains or 4x4 in winter!
HIKING: There is a terrific loop trail that starts from the house for a good evening walk. Walk out the front door and go up April Drive to the top of the loop. Go left and through the gate. Make a right and follow the trail through the woods. Cross the stream and continue on. When you get to the major intersection where the signs are make a left back towards the house. Follow this trail until reaches Heavenly. There is a great lookout here of the lake and sunset from the top of the rocks. You can then head left back to the house where you started.
NEW TAHOE LAW - $2,000 FINE FOR BREAKING THEM.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Danny McNamara
My family has had a vacation home in South Lake Tahoe since I was 10 years old. 20 years ago, my father moved there permanently. For the past 10 years, my father and I have been building homes in Tahoe and selling them. But this one I built for myself and my family (that's my wife and new daughter in the photo). I work in Advertising in San Francisco and manage other family vacation homes for many years.
Why they chose this property
Location, location, location! We decided two years ago to build a house for ourselves. After months of searching we found the perfect lot. It's near Heavenly Ski Resort (where I've had season passes for many years and from where I can ski from the mountain to the house) and off Pioneer Trail (providing quick and direct access to the Bay Area, the mountains, the lake and the Casinos while avoiding Hwy 50). It also has miles and miles of hiking and biking trails right from the front door. Which was very important to our family. After all, what's a vacation home if it's in the city?
