Discover your perfect FAMILY GETAWAY when you vacation at Lippe Lodge! Conveniently located on the West Shore, you have easy access to SEVERAL BEACHES, 4 downhill ski mountains, several cross-country ski trails and sledding hills - all within 5 - 30 minutes. With only a 10-minute walk to the beach and local restaurants and a 2-mile drive to Tahoe City (great bike ride!), our home is easy to find in the mountain-town neighborhood of Pineland and it's easy to get to when everything is covered in snow. For golf lovers, rejoice in knowing you're just minutes away from several championship golf courses. Located super close to Sunnyside Resort.
An unexpected EXTRA (and not found in just any vacation home) is our GAME ROOM. Located on the Upper Level, the inviting, comfortable Game Room is equipped with a full-size pool table, a bistro table & stools, 2 over-stuffed sofas, a large flat screen TV with DVD player, DVD's, play area, a full bathroom and a deck at each end. This is the perfect gathering spot after a big day of skiing or snowboarding or after a full day at the beach or on the boat!
The FAMILY ROOM is on the Lower Level and is directly adjacent to the Kitchen and Dining Room. The expansive sectional sofa surrounds the Family Room allowing you to relax and enjoy the cozy flames of the gas-burning fireplace, to daydream out the large sliding glass doors or to get under a cozy blanket and watch your favorite old movie on the flat screen TV.
Enjoy meals or libations outside on our OVERSIZED DECK! Complete with table, umbrella, chairs and Adirondeck chairs, there's plenty of room for everyone. The kids will love setting out on an adventure in the LARGE YARD AREA and everyone can enjoy playing a game of horse shoes at the horse shoes pit. The outdoor HOT TUB is built into the deck and seats 6 people.
PETS are welcome, too (fee applies - see below). Please include the number of pets in the "Pets" field of the quotation window. If you care enough to bring your pet on your vacation in our home, then we know you've house-trained them! Our neighborhood, and the area in general, is very dog friendly! Hurricane Bay is a dog-friendly beach that is just 1 mile away from Sunnyside Beach. We do ask that you are diligent about cleaning up after your pet in the yard! PETS MAY NOT BE LEFT ALONE INSIDE THE HOUSE, UNLESS CRATED. $75 per pet plus tax for 1 - 3 nights, $150.00 per pet plus tax for 4+ nights.
BEDROOMS are located on the Lower Level (2) and the Upper Level (2). The Lower Level Bedrooms both have a queen bed in each.

KITCHEN/DINING ROOM: The fully stocked Kitchen has everything! All major appliances, coffee maker, toaster, blender, pots/pans, dishes, glassware, flatware....you name it, it's there! The gas stove top is built into the bar area, which makes it nice for more than one person to be helping in the Kitchen, and there's room for 3 people to sit at stools at the bar. The Dining Room table has chairs to seat 6 people, but there's space to pull up stools or extra chairs to seat more.
FLAT SCREEN TV's: Each flat screen TV is equipped with a ROKU Express HD Streaming Media Player. There's plenty of free streaming available, but bring your log-in/password for the apps you enjoy that are not free.
WINTER STAYS: We provide plow service for the driveway. Guests must move their vehicles when plows are in the neighborhood so they can clear the snow. Snow shoveling and keeping paths clear will be part of your Tahoe experience. Please expect to shovel to keep paths clear to and around the hot tub, and keep the bear box (for trash) door free of snow so the door can be opened.
Some LOCALS' RECOMMENDATIONS: Hit the Bridge Tender or Rosie's Cafe for some apres ski action, go ice skating at Northstar or take the Gondola to the top of the mountain at Squaw! Walk to the Firesign Cafe for breakfast or lunch or to The Shadyside Lounge for lunch or dinner. In Summer, enjoy lunch or dinner on the deck overlooking Lake Tahoe at Sunnyside Resort. Go to the Free Concerts at Commons Beach on Sunday (bring a picnic). The best to-go sandwiches are at the Tahoma Market in Tahoma. Get great coffee and pastries at Tahoe House (ride your bike). Ride or walk the bike path from home to Squaw Valley. Tube the Truckee River to River Ranch and have an ice cream (some tubes available at the house)! Enjoy!

The property was beautiful and well situated near Tahoe City. The hot tub, kitchen, furniture and bathrooms are all modern and in good working order. Melanie was great and would definitely book again if in the area!
Very smooth, easy clear instructions, awesome location, and Melanie was so easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!! The home has great living spaces to hang out, and is overall just what we needed.
This place was perfect for our crew at Western States 100 race. Plenty of beds, hot tub, huge deck/patio, boat rentals and hiking trails within walking distance, so much space for hanging out…we had a great time here!
We enjoyed our stay at Lippe Lodge. All bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and the kitchen was exceptionally stocked with all that was needed for our cooking needs. The grandchildren loved the game room and we all enjoyed the proximity to the beach and local hiking trails.
This place was really comfortable and great for family getaway with a lot of great space and backyard. It was also very clean with super comfortable beds and pillows. Would definitely stay again!
Enjoyed our vacation with the family. Plenty of room for everyone! The back deck was the gathering place for the family every morning and evening. Great memories were made!!
Clean, and great game room. Walked to Shadyside for drinks and dinner. 15 minutes to Alpine meadows.

This space was perfect for our extended family - lots of full bedrooms as well as semi-private twin beds for kids to sleep in!
The host was extremely communicative and responded immediately to any questions we had, although the thorough information provided ahead of time left few questions upon arrival.
The house was clean and had everything we needed, including multiple rooms and areas for our large group to hang out in.
Would highly recommend for a family or friend's trip!
How it was so accommodating for a large group and family to have such a cozy, fun, well located place is a blessing to all. Great place for games and cooking as well. It had all we needed and then some.
We were two families with kids (and pets) and had a great stay at the Lippe Lodge. The location was key for easy access to the Palisades and the backyard was perfect for snow play. Lots of space and beds in the house to accommodate all. Melanie the host was very communicative and accommodating and we appreciated her quick follow-ups to our questions.
Very nice house. Clean, big, with a good kitchen. Lots of beds. Laid out a little weirdly with the beds up stairs but would be fine for kids and such. Overall a very good stay.
The Lippe Lodge was the perfect space for my family. Traveling with two young children is always a daunting task but the home was exactly what we needed! The large outdoor space allowed everyone to enjoy the sunshine and relax. Location of the house was perfect for a short walk down to the lake too!
I was so happy with the house. Plenty of beds,close to all sights. We had an amazing time with the family. The older kids loved playing at different disc golf courses, and the tree top adventure park , along with all of the tourist spots. It was a great week .
Beautiful property with space for everyone. We enjoyed the large deck with propane fire and hot tub. The upstairs game room was huge. House is very well stocked but a bit outdated. Close to beaches and restaurants. We had plenty of room for all. Great place for families.
Easy to walk to the lake and great restaurants like Sunnyside and Shady side... be careful since the bears are active. Just DO NOT bother them. They were in the neighborhood and yard a number of times. We had a great time overall and only wished the weather was warmer...but we still swam in the lake.
Our stay was perfect! Beautiful home exactly as advertised with everything you need! We had 10 adults, a 4 yr old and a 2 year old. Plenty of space for all! Location was so close to Tahoe City and Palisades Ski Resort! Highly recommend!

Thanks for the great review and for taking such great care of Lippe Lodge! Hope to have you back soon!
Lippe Lodge was everything we hoped for. Nicely appointed kitchen with dining space to gather. Plenty of beds with fresh linens. The large upstairs game room was a real bonus. Communication was easy and clear with the property manager. High marks all around for this comfortable home.
Lippe Lodge is a great property for mixed ages and stages of families. The house had enough space to spread out between 3 families, enough activities (pool table!) to keep everyone busy, and close enough to Sunnyside to make the evening sunset walk or morning coffee to keep everyone happy!

About the host
Hosted by Melanie McDonald
As an avid snow and water skier, mountain biker & road cyclist, I fell in love with North Lake Tahoe many years ago while I was part of the Alpine Meadows Ski Patrol. I grew up skiing in New England - let's just say Tahoe is a pretty special place! The west shore is amazing - incredible mountain biking, road cycling and hiking right from the house - and on the backside of Alpine Meadows (Sherwood Chair) in the winter. On big snow days you can ski down Ward Valley Road back to the Lodge... If you haven't accessed Tahoe in the Spring and Fall - you are missing something special - GREAT weather and SMALL crowds! I've recently relocated to the East Coast for work, but Britton (my son) and I come back often - what used to be a full time second home for us is now (also) a wonderful vacation get away shared by people from all over the country and world - pretty cool. I'm excited about "sharing" the Lodge - it's a great property in a terrific location. There's even a neighborhood playground and tennis courts just a short walk away. Sunnyside resort is just a quick walk too. Always happy to help with trail, cycling and "secret powder stash" locations and information, if you have the desire - or you can just kick it in the hot tub or game room. Psyched that so many of you have come back - welcome to the family! Have a blast - it's what Tahoe and Lippe Lodge are all about. Best, Rob
