About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Serene & Elegant; Sleeps 12, Private & Quiet; Private Homeowners Beach Club

Our preferred guests are families- we are NOT a party house! Multi-generational familiy- grandparents, children, and grandkids are great! Our allegiance is to our neighbors. We are very cognizant of our peaceful neighborhood ambiance (that's why we bought it and love it!) and respectful of our neighbors. Please note our House Rules with regard to this.

FYI- we are very qualified to achieve "Premier Partner" with VRBO, except for one thing: they will not grant this designation because we will not accept Instant Booking. We won't do this, as we want control over who rents our home.

We accept a maximum of 8 adults and 4 children in "The Kids' Bunkbed Room" for a total of 12.

Our general rule is to ask for a 4-night stay. However, there are two weeks in the year we ask for a 6-night stay. Those weeks surround New Years and 4th of July. These are by far the most popular times of the year.

This elegant mountain retreat is located on the colorful and traditional West Shore, near Tahoe City, in the serene Talmont area, with membership to the private homeowners Tahoe Park Beach Club. The idyllic setting offers tranquility and privacy, but as our home is only 2.5 miles west of Tahoe City, you will also appreciate the shopping and dining convenience it affords.

Surrounded by multiple forested conservancy lots on three sides, this welcoming 2500+ square foot home offers privacy, a filtered peek of the lake, and an expansive treetop view. It is very tastefully decorated, and fully and thoughtfully equipped, assuring your vacation relaxation.

Our home is lovingly furnished with comfort and quality in mind. We regard it as our beloved second home, as opposed to a rental income property! We gladly open our home to others and appreciate the fact that our guests will show it the same respect that we do.

We have furnished our mountain retreat with cherished antiques, family heirlooms, and warm hand-made and custom-made furniture, along with new beds and linens.

We offer 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, and a fold-out Queen-size sofa. Our home boasts knotty pine cathedral ceilings, knotty pine custom cabinets and trim throughout, and granite kitchen with new appliances, granite bath counters, along with wood and slate flooring throughout.

The entry is showcased by a wide staircase accented with hand-carved pine railings, leading up or down to either of the two living areas.

Upstairs, the open living/dining/kitchen area is airy and expansive, featuring two decks, overlooking the forest. The large, leather sectional is flanked by club chairs, providing a comfortable sitting area.

We have just installed brand new kitchen appliances and a washer and dryer.

You’ll enjoy a flat-screen, HD TV, which is highly maneuverable to allow for the utmost viewing options and has a Blue Ray DVD player. Unlimited free high-speed Internet access is provided.

The upper floor hosts the spacious and luxurious master bedroom featuring a Californian King bed and master bathroom, with a large Jacuzzi soaking tub and separate enclosed glass shower. A half bath is located off the living area and a charming ceiling fan provides a gentle, refreshing breeze on summer evenings.

Downstairs, the family room is a perfect gathering area for youngsters– young and old–a leather sectional faces a large TV, with DVD, and VCR. Leading off the family room are three bedrooms and one full bath: one bedroom features a queen bed, another has a *triple full-size bunk bed, with full-size trundle (this room can sleep a MAX of six small children- UP TO 175 lbs each level) the other bedroom has two twin beds, with and an antique desk. In addition, the sectional in the downstairs living area holds a queen-size foldout bed.

You’ll love our private beach club 1 mile down the road! Charming Tahoe Park is one of the most popular beaches on the lake, offering over three acres of beachfront living. It boasts a lovely beach, little nooks sheltering private sitting and dining areas, grass areas surrounded by gardens and shaded by towering pines, BBQs with tables and benches, piers, kayak access, shuffleboard, volleyball, horseshoes, basketball, bocce ball court, a children’s playground and restrooms. Relax in privacy and enjoy a lakefront BBQ! Google their website for photos and more info- 'Lake Tahoe Park Association'.

Next door to Tahoe Park Beach, sip cocktails on the lakeside deck of festive Sunnyside Resort, while watching the sunset over the lake and boaters pull in after a day on the lake. You’ll savor the breakfasts at the nearby Firesign Café.

Paige Meadows, with its huge network of superb hiking, walking and biking trails, is only steps away from our mountain home. Lake Tahoe is renowned for its natural beauty and numerous outdoor activities including river rafting, extensive hiking and biking (on both paved and dirt paths), fishing, swimming, boating, and all manner of water sports.

Best of all is just relaxing on the beach or reading a good book while lounging on our decks, enjoying the pine-scented mountain air!

Our kitchen is very well-equipped; the dining table expands to seat eight with additional seating for three at the kitchen island. You’ll enjoy a gas Webber BBQ, clothes washer and dryer, and garage parking for one car. Additional outdoor parking is also available.

We welcome you to our tree-top mountain home!

We are a family of 5 and had two additional guests with us. This was the perfect spot. Plenty of room and a very spacious common space for all of us to enjoy. Location is great. Easy drive into Tahoe City for shopping and groceries. Janine is a great host. She was very helpful and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.

Tahoe City Cabin
Overall, the cabin was a great experience. It was as advertised. It really can sleep a large group. The kitchen is also well equipped with pots, pans, etc. All the appliances work well. It is also close to many conveniences and Lake Tahoe. The HOA private beach that you can access is really nice.

Thanksgiving Tahoe Getaway
Host was easy to work with, very accommodating. Our only complaint was getting inside the house was difficult, we were supposed to have 2 remotes to garage which we couldn’t find and the extra door key didn’t work. Also bed mattresses need to be replaced. And the kitchen isn’t stocked with all your needs make sure you bring what you need to cook with. We loved the house and all the property. Beautiful place.
