If you're seeking relaxation in the great outdoors, this North Lake Tahoe retreat offers the perfect getaway. Nestled on a quiet street, it’s just minutes from an extensive network of National Forest trails. In winter, enjoy cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, or snowshoeing on the well-maintained bike path. Summer transforms these trails into a haven for hiking, mountain biking, and dirt biking, with access to the renowned Tahoe Rim Trail and Watson Peak.

Visitors without a vehicle can easily navigate Tahoe with the help of the area's public transportation system, known as TART. The home is 0.3 miles to a stop called HWY 28 at Old County Rd which runs every hour and stops along the entire western shore of Lake Tahoe from Tahoma to the north shore at Incline Village. Or, walk 0.1 miles further to the stop at Hwy 28 at Chinquapin Condos to head to Kings Beach. For those with a vehicle, you are just a 7-minute drive to Tahoe City where you can use the FREE park-and-ride to reach locations such as Olympic Park and Northstar California Resort.
