Just beyond the trees, the Tahoe City bike path sits steps away, inviting a leisurely pedal into town for lakefront dining, boutiques, and cafés.

Skylights and multiple windows welcome natural light and showcase snow capped mountain vistas. The kitchen is well-appointed with quality appliances and thoughtful amenities, the offering everything you need for effortless cooking. The dining table comfortably seating for ten is accompanied by expansive deck with a plethora of seating, where panoramic views and fresh mountain air create the perfect setting for morning coffee, sunset dinners, and evening cocktails under the stars.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a private balcony overlooking the lake. The junior primary suite features its own spacious ensuite with a double vanity and walk-in shower, while two additional guest rooms down the hall ensure everyone enjoys a restful sleep. The lower level is dedicated to recreation, offering a large entertainment area complete with a pool table, ping pong table, piano, desk, new 75" TV and a twin / twin bunk bed & sofa sleeper. Step outside from the recreation room to enjoy highly desired lakefront amenities, including a private pier, bocce ball court and a perfectly positioned hot tub under an arched stone alcove where you can unwind while taking in Tahoe’s iconic turquoise water and unforgettable alpine sunsets.

Make sure the chains are the proper size for your tires and are in working order. You may find valuable winter driving tips from the CHP website.
Summer Patio Furniture
Patio furniture is available for your use during summer months only. All outdoor tables, chairs and loungers are put into storage in the fall, in order to protect the furnishings from winter weather. Barbecue grills, however, do remain outside for your enjoyment.

Black bears are very common in this area and have become habituated to human food and garbage. Because bears no longer have a strong fear of humans, you may encounter bears during your spring, summer and fall stays. Feeding bears is illegal. Leaving food outside, trash accessible, or doors and windows unlocked is likely to cause significant property damage to homes and to vehicles. Please take a moment to learn how to be Bear Aware, so that we can continue to live in harmony with our wildlife.
