About this property
Ellis Peak by AvantStay | Beautiful McKinney Cabin w/ Filtered Lake Views
Welcome to Ellis Peak, an AvantStay home!
With unbeatable lake views, you'll love sitting on the front porch and reading a book or chatting with friends under the pines. Natural light, a warm color palette, and plush furniture provide an inviting space after a day on the lake. With an airy living area, lake-facing deck, and fully equipped kitchen, this house has plenty of space for your group to comfortably spread out. Experience why "West Shore is the Best Shore"!
Situated in the snowy Sierra Nevada Mountain range straddling the border between California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe offers stunning panoramic scenery and year-round adventure. Visitors flock here especially to ski and snowboard on dramatic slopes that seem to fall into the abyss of the lake’s cobalt blue water. Whether you’re looking for a day in the mountains or a booze cruise on the lake, you can have it all in Tahoe.
Nearby Attractions: McKinney Rubicon beach, Meeks Bay Marina and Beach, Rubicon Trail (Hiking and Biking), Palisades Tahoe, Alpine Meadows Ski Area, Eagle Falls Trail (Hiking), Lighthouse Spa, Inspiration Point Vista (Lookout Point).
Experience Lake Tahoe, AvantStay Style.
All AvantStay guests have access to our 24/7 guest experience line, a dedicated hospitality manager, and hotel-grade amenities.
