About this property

Tahoe Mountain Retreat

Retreat to this wonderful lakeview home with breathtaking panoramic views!

Enjoy relaxed living on a bluff above Lake Tahoe. Nestled in a hollow out of the prevailing wind, every room in this home looks out over the lake, with views across Crystal Bay Point and along the beautiful east shore. Be amazed by every mood the lake has to show, from the sun line rising on the Eastern Sierra to spectacular full moon nights which can be enjoyed from the private hot tub on the deck. Each room is tastefully decorated and the beds have high thread count linens, down comforters, and lots of soft pillows.

Our open floor plan has a master suite with queen bed upstairs off the living room/great room. The remaining bedrooms (second master suite with queen bed, and two queen bedrooms) are downstairs off the family room. We have a wonderful wood stove in the family room that heats the whole house and firewood is provided. The attached apartment has 1 queen bed in the bedroom with interior access to the apartment from the main house, as well as from the garage.

With 3500 sq. ft. of total living space there is room for everyone. There's a two car garage and plenty of off street parking. Enjoy High Speed Internet/Wi-Fi and Cable TV through out the home. We are located just one block from the lake, close to ski areas and casinos, Garwoods and 7-Eleven are just down the road.

This property's highlight was the view of the entire Lake Tahoe. Next was the layout of the house which includes three levels each with a seating area, bathrooms in all areas some with two, two kitchens. Could not ask for more! Everyone was delighted with our stay at the Tahoe Mountain Retreat.

Great location, Great View, Plenty of space!

We did a Tahoe ski trip and this house was perfect. It's directly between Northstar and Squaw, and is a cozy home to come home to after a long ski day. The hosts were very easy to communicate with! Definitely recommend this property.

Family gathering for 8 to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary.

The house was perfect for our three small families, ranging in ages from 6 to 70. The view of the lake is spectacular and the location of the house on Carnelian Bay in North Tahoe is great. We have stayed in South and North Tahoe and prefer the latter. If you love wooden boats, be sure to visit Sierra Boat Company.

Exceeded expectations!

We had the most wonderful time staying in this home which overlooks Lake Tahoe. The home was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. There were 7 of us there for half of our stay and it’s true, you still have your own space. Thank you for helping to make our honeymoon so special. Diane and Steve

Beautiful Lake Tahoe Property

Our family stayed for a week at this beautiful property. The views from most rooms in the house as well as the back porch area are unbelievable! This is our second time staying in the Lake Tahoe area and it is hard to believe that it could get much better. The layout of the home allowed our family their individual space which was greatly appreciated throughout the stay. The check in process and communication with the owner was excellent. We had a terrific stay and would highly recommend this location!

Stellar Vacation!

The home is really perfect for an extended family! We had a great time! On one afternoon the owner came over because we had accidently left the garage door open, and she was worried about the bears. We were very grateful for the personalized attention paid. We would highly recommend this home for a tranquil and cozy retreat!

About the host

Hosted by Dave Jones

Host profile image
We were very lucky to find Tahoe at a young age. We fell in love and were married, raised three kids who now have pursued careers outside of the Tahoe basin. While we have loved this home and lived in this home we have found that it is time to share it with others. You will find our place to be a comfortable, quiet space, perched on a bluff away from the prevailing winds. Be sure to watch the sunline rise on the eastern Sierra opposite us until evening arrives. Our home has hosted many family gatherings so we know that whatever your event is you will be comfortable and cozy, together but not crowded,

Why they chose this property
