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.

The king master bedroom smelled of smoke and the rear sliding glass door would not lock. I immediately called the cell phone number given, but didn't receive an answer. Our party consisted of eight senior female cousins and we were extremely concerned sleeping in an unsecured house. On our last day I called again and spoke to the owner.

Wonderful House

This house was 5 star overall. We didn't want for anything. Plenty of supplies to cook with, and the grill and hot tub was a plus. The location was close to everything yet the neighborhood was peaceful. The owner was receptive to any of our needs. I would stay here again!

Very nice but lots of traffic noise

House is spacious and in nice condition, which made for a very comfortable stay. It's also a two minute walk from some nice hiking trails. Danny was very communicative and friendly. Only negative is significant traffic noise from Pioneer Trail, which has become busy all hours of the day and night (especially Fridays). Probably not an issue if it is cool enough to close the windows at night.

Loved Tahoe!

For the most part it was great! Loved the kitchen and great room. Three of the bedrooms were very nice and comfortable. The fourth bedroom was a disappointment and we were told ahead that it was less private but It said there was a twin bed and bunk beds. Instead there were two bunk beds. There was no other furniture in the room to put things or a chair. This was ok for kids but not adults. Need more table knifes. Loved the hot tub! Had a great week.

Awesome house and great location

This is a great house and the communication with the owner was amazing. Everything you need! Hot tub, 3 master suites and bunk beds for the kids. The beds are better then at home! Top of the line appliances and a tankless water heater so everyone can take a shower at once! It’s only minutes from Everything! Definitely stay here again!!

Perfect Experience in a perfect house

I honestly can’t imagine anyone giving this less than 5 stars. I would of given it 100 stars if possible. I’m not sure how this house could be anymore updated per the last review. Everything was new, clean, and just amazing. It was in such a great location for the lake, and for getting around town. The owner himself was in constant contact with us when we needed him due to the wildfires. He made us feel safe, and offered any help he possibly could to make our stay better. I have 0 suggestions on improvement, and when we return to Lake Tahoe we will absolutely be booking with you again. Thank you so much again for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home and giving us such a great experience!!!

Perfect location to Heavenly

Everything is perfect. Some maintenance could be done to make the place even better. Like the broken garage door button. And note that the bunk beds are actually in public area, not really a separate room.

About the host

Hosted by Danny McNamara

Host profile image
My family has had a vacation home in South Lake Tahoe since I was 10 years old. I built for myself and my family. We love to travel and explore the world.

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 this 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 - but it's out of bounds so I don't recommend it!). It's right off Pioneer Trail (providing quick and direct access to the Bay Area, the mountains, the lake and the Casinos while avoiding Hwy 50) and 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?

What makes this property unique

Two big master suites. Works very well for two families that are splitting the cost as each paying couple gets a great room.
