About this property
Tahoe Xmas Valley Cabin
Our cabin is located in scenic Christmas Valley. At the same time, it is close to the town for shopping, entertaining, eating out: 4 ml to Meyers, 8 ml to "Y", 14 ml to Stateline. The river runs in the back of the property
In the summer, here are lots of great biking and hiking (no driving required). It is close to southern superb sandy beaches of South Lake Tahoe, to the magnificent Echo Lakes, to Desolation Wilderness.
In the winter, it is perfectly situated for skiing at Kirkwood (24 miles), Heavenly (12 miles), and Sierra-at-Tahoe (13 miles). As well to enjoy your snowshoe trips, sledding and cross-country skiing right from the backyard!
Our house is very comfortable, great floor plan, roomy, and bright with large picture windows. Upper Truckee River runs in the back of our 2 acres property. One can see the river, the forest and the mountains from the inside of the house and while on the deck. Run down the slop to the benches of the river.
The kitchen is fully equipped (much appreciated by my past guests), the living room has a fireplace, nice size TV set, two comfortable coaches, and a beautiful cast iron coffee table. We have a spacious and very useful mudroom.
The deck overlooks the river and offers great mountain views. On the deck you will find a hot tub (always professionally serviced right before your arrival) for you to appreciate it at the end of a joyful day, and a gas grill on the deck, for happy cooking with your friends.
We have a fast WiFi internet and smart LG TV set.
One car parking space is available in the garage, 3 more cars can be parked on the driveway.
Starting in 2024, after 20 years of excellent records of renting my house, the ELD county does not allow me any more renting my house for a period shorter than 31 days. Please contact me if we need to adjust the length of your stay to fit your plans. We can discuss it.
If you have questions just get in touch with me.

About the host
Hosted by Rachel
My name is Rachel and I live the Bay Area, CA.
I am a sculptor. I love traveling, gardening, biking, hiking, and I really enjoy sharing our beautiful home in Tahoe with our friends and guests.

Why they chose this property
We love our house in Tahoe. It is a very spacious home built on a 2 acres lot, surrounded by the mountains and the US National Forest. South Upper Truckee River runs though our property.
The location is wonderful! It takes only 20 min getting to everything one would love to do in Tahoe: getting to a couple of ski resorts, to Lake Tahoe, to Stateline casinos, to hiking trails (many trails accessible with no driving at all).
This is our second home and we love coming here. We recently did lots of major remodeling: completely remodeled the bathrooms, got all new kitchen appliances, painted inside/outside, got new furniture, new mattresses, rebuilt the deck, and got a new spa. We made the house very comfortable for ourselves and our guest.

What makes this property unique
We have a Water Filter system, installed in the garage, to reduce coloration in our water from the well. Every 3 days at noon it flushes the sediment into the drain. It creates a flushing sound in the master bathroom for about an hour.
My apologies for this inconvenience but there is no other way for the filter system to function and we badly need one.
In the winter, sledding and snowshoeing can be done in the back of the house. Heavenly, Sierra-at-Tahoe, and Kirkwood are the closest ski resorts.
The Winter season lease is also available.
In the summer, if you like hiking, you can go on either short or very long hikes right out of the house (no driving). It is the same when it comes to biking. The beautiful Lake Tahoe Southern shore beaches are within a short 20-min drive.
