Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire house, outdoor areas including two decks and a private hot tub, and six parking places in the driveway.

Other Things To Note:
Please note that like most homes in the area, this home does not have A/C.

Please note that it frequently snows in Lake Tahoe in the winter months and as this home is well above lake level on a hill it gets A LOT of snow. If you are renting this home from November through March, please remember that there may be winter driving conditions, and a 4-wheel drive with all-terrain tires or snow chains for your 2-wheel drive tires might be necessary for safe travel. In the winter we strongly suggest a truck or SUV with AWD or 4WD and all-terrain tires. Even if it hasn’t snowed in a few days, side roads can still be icy and have snow on them.

Please note that grills and outdoor furniture are not available during the months of November to April due to snow.

The Neighborhood:
Situated in a quiet forested neighborhood the home places you within walking distance of a public beach, restaurants, and bars, so you won’t even need to get in the car to enjoy some great activities! While at the house you will love the peaceful surroundings thanks to the home is tucked back off the main road, making it an ideal spot for children to play outside or to enjoy the outdoor space in peace! During the summer months enjoy being just a five-minute walk away from the public beach Carnelian West Beach, an excellent swimming spot! Or take a short walk down the road to Waterman’s Landing/Patton Beach where you will find a cute coffee shop, picnic areas, and 2 places where you can rent every type of watercraft imaginable. You will find more entertainment and dining options just down the street from the house such as the famous Garwoods Bar and Grill, a wonderful lakefront dining experience, CB’s Bistro and Pizza for family dinners, Magic Carpet Mini Golf and Arcade for the little ones, and a 7-11 for all of your late-night needs. In the winter months, you are only 20 minutes in either direction from Northstar or Squaw Valley ski resort. If nordic skiing is more your thing, you are less than 10 minutes from the Tahoe City Nordic Center where you will find a huge network of trails for XC Skiing or snowshoeing. If a little less adventure is what you are looking for, the towns of Tahoe City and Kings Beach are both only 10 minutes away in opposite directions. In both places, you will find major grocery stores, golf courses, small boutique shopping, waterfront parks, golf courses, and a wide variety of bars and restaurants. This beautiful cabin has everything you need to enjoy your perfect North Lake Tahoe vacation!

Getting Around:
Centrally located off HWY 28 and within walking distance of a public transportation stop you can comfortably get by without having a vehicle if needed. A five-minute walk will take you to the public transportation TART stop at Hwy 28 at Center St. From here you are just a 20-minute bus ride away to Tahoe City Transit Center where you can connect to locations such as Northstar California Resort. For those with a vehicle enjoy being close to HWY 28 and the quick access it provides to the beautiful surrounding areas with just a 10-minute drive to Tahoe City, Kings Beach, and Brockway Summit Tahoe Rim Trail Trailhead. In the wintertime, you are a 20-minute drive or less from three of the area's best ski resorts, Northstar, Squaw Valley ski resort, and Tahoe Nordic Cross Country Center.

Tahoe has UBER, Lyft, and many taxi companies.

Other Things to Note:
Please keep in mind that if you plan to ski, you are responsible for verifying the ski resorts' opening and closing dates.

Took the fur babies and went for one last getaway to catch the end of the ski season. This property was awesome. Updated. Clean. Modern. Just the way you’d want your own home. Comfortable beds, great location, nice and clean, dog-friendly. Would definitely stay here again!

Property Managemenr Unresponsive, Property not maintained well
This was our second time at this property. First time under this property manager. We are a family of 12 that paid a premium to stay at this property over Thanksgiving weekend. We arrived on Tuesday to find the oven doesn’t work. After several messages to the “issue line” maintenance came out to confirm that it doesn’t work and that it wasn’t fixable until after the weekend. After several more messages, we got a call from someone at the property mgmt company offering a sizable refund to stay or full refund to find another place on our own. After 5 days we still do not have a resolution and the company has stopped responding to us. We also notified them of a mouse infestation that we had to go buy traps for and handle the dead rodents. No response on this. The kitchen is scarcely stocked. Several lightbulbs were out. We made do but trying to feed 12 people without an oven was challenging and we are extremely disappointed at the lack of response to the issues. I will be contacting VRBO and my credit card company.

We loved our stay! Location, location, location
Fantastic large home with plenty of bathrooms for all. Location for us could not be beat. The lake and one of our favorite places, Garwood's, is just down the street! We never got in our car to go anywhere! Loved the back patio area, which was private. Well stocked kitchen, and we cooked a lot! The kids loved the ping pong and foosball tables, as well as the private areas for them to congregate. The Top floor master suite was perfect for my daughter and her young children! The only comments that don't receive five stars is the somewhat dated and not very clean big couch in the living room and the neighbors construction and house painting on both sides that prohibited parking a bit because of overspray concerns. The construction workers and painters worked both Saturday and Sunday. Oh well. Other than that, we would definitely rent again. We had a great time and want to go back tomorrow!!😊 Thank you!!!!

Very flexible layout to accommodate a variety of needs: comfort, privacy, work remote and relax/relax/relax. We had 3 generations present, each w/ differing needs and the flexible layout was much appreciated. Excellent north shore location. For the few needs that arose during our stay, communication w/ owner/mgmt co. was seamless and response time v quick.

Everything was great except a few non-working features caused a lack in the amenities provided. The dryer, hot tub and dishwasher worked sporadically or not at all. It was a holiday weekend so finding help to repair them was not possible. We stayed in touch with the management company and were compensated for the lack of features. It was a beautiful location and property and we ended our stay happy with their concessions.

Boarding in Tahoe
This house was a great fit for our group - 10 adults, including three couples. Everyone had their own room and bathroom. No waiting for bathroom/ shower. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped. The location was great - close to dining, shopping, and most importantly, the north lake resorts. This was our first time staying at north lake and the lack of crowds was great. I definitely prefer the quiet north lake towns over the crowded south lake area. I would recommend this property for any group up to 12 people.

Beautiful home
This was a beautiful home with so many amenities. We visited the property in January and got to experience snow. There were 11 of us. The kids loved the game room and ping pong table. I loved that there was enough seating in the kitchen for us to eat together. Can we talk about the bathrooms? Amazing... each room had a bathroom!!! We walked to the lake and picked up pizza from a restaurant nearby. It was a great trip filled with priceless memories with grandpa grandparents!

We had a great time with extended family. The house was clean and very well stocked with just about anything you would need. Great location, close to everything Lake Tahoe has to offer. The only downside was that the outdoor furniture was not available (seemingly locked in a shed) and the hot tub never got warm enough despite recommended pre-warming. Otherwise we would 100% stay here again!
