Ellis Peak Retreat by Tahoe Getaways - 3BR Pet-Friendly w/ Hot Tub & Close to Tahoe City

Located just one mile from downtown Tahoe City, this beautifully updated West Shore vacation rental blends modern comfort with authentic mountain charm. Originally built during the 1960 Winter Olympics, this pet-friendly 3-bedroom, 2-bath home backs onto protected conservancy land, offering a peaceful forest setting and a true connection to Tahoe's natural beauty. Guests enjoy easy access to Commons Beach, the Truckee River, nearby hiking and biking trails, and beloved local favorites like Sunnyside Restaurant and Tahoe House Bakery. Whether you're relaxing by the wood-burning fireplace in winter or enjoying the spacious outdoor area in summer, this year-round retreat perfectly embodies the saying, “the West Shore is the best shore.”

The airy, 1,400-square-foot contemporary loft-style design features an open-concept living space highlighted by floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase the alpine landscape. The inviting living room includes plush furnishings, a flat-screen TV, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace—a perfect gathering place after a day on the slopes or exploring the lake. Adjacent to the dining area, a well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar makes it easy to prepare family meals or casual snacks. The main floor also includes a full bathroom and a versatile office space with direct access to the back deck.

All three bedrooms are located on the upper level, offering cozy bedding, warm décor, and ample storage. The second full bathroom is conveniently located upstairs, making it ideal for families or small groups.

Outdoor living is a true highlight of this Tahoe City vacation rental. The front deck is perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation, while the expansive back deck overlooks tranquil forest views. Furnished with outdoor seating and a private hot tub, this space invites you to unwind under the stars and enjoy the quiet beauty of Lake Tahoe's West Shore.

Just minutes from Palisades Tahoe, Homewood Mountain Resort, and Alpine Meadows, this home provides easy access to world-class skiing, snowboarding, and winter adventure. In summer, explore the Tahoe City Marina, Truckee River bike path, or the lake's sparkling beaches—all within a short drive or bike ride.
