The Tulip Tree Bay Lodge

A unique opportunity to stay in an architectural gem on Center Hill Lake! The Tulip Tree Bay Lodge is a 3200 square foot 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath house situated on 5 acres of mostly wooded land overlooking beautiful Center Hill Lake. The house comfortably sleeps and entertains 14 people. Enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon glass of wine on the gorgeous deck with views of Center Hill Lake with no other homes in view!

Bring your boat! CENTER HILL LAKE ACCESS is a 1/2 mile down the road!

Hot tub! Two Roku televisions--log on with your accounts or use ours: Hulu, Disney, Peacock. High Speed Internet. Fire pit. Ping pong table, basketball goal, tree swing, foosball, and corn hole! Board games, movies, and many books for the entertainment and enjoyment of you and your loved ones.

Do you like to cook? The chef's kitchen at The Tulip Tree Bay Lodge will thrill you! Double ovens, cooktop, two refrigerators (kitchen and garage), and dishwasher. For coffee lovers, choose from a traditional coffeemaker, Bodum French Press, Hario Pour over, or Keurig coffee for your morning wake up. Weber grill on the wrap-around deck. Leave your cookbooks at home! The house is stocked with over 20 cookbooks. Plenty of dining seating inside as well as outside on the deck.

Designed by renowned Lake Tahoe architect James Morton in 1978, this house is unlike any other on Center Hill Lake! The house is constructed entirely of California Redwood, Western Cedar, and Mahogany.
