ENJOY SPECTACULAR VIEWS of Lake Tahoe.
Relax gazing at the amazing cobalt blue lake and take in the special, spectacular west shore of Lake Tahoe. Away from it all. We have spring openings! Nice snowpack this year. AND, we only have one remaining week available in the summer!
The West Shore is the best shore.
**No gatherings or parties**
Relax at our 4 bedroom two bath home with gorgeous views of Lake Tahoe. Our house is your house, perfect for your family to spend time together! We have an open kitchen and living room area with two large decks overlooking the lake. The layout makes for a great place to relax. (We are NOT a party house, not the place for a large group)
6 maximum, including children.
We have new soft, quiet wall-to-wall carpeting throughout the home; comfortable beds (new king and queen beds!) all with down comforters and soft cotton sheets. Two story, with steep stairs, bring your baby gate if you have very young children.
LOCATION: Our house is in a quiet residential neighborhood where some residents live year-round. We are near the entrance to Meeks Bay Beach and Resort, open to public. We are above Emerald Bay Road/89, which is the only road that wraps around the entire lake. It hugs the shore of Lake Tahoe all the way around. NOTE: Most all of the homes here that are within walking distance of the lake and have a close lake view do experience some road noise from Emerald Bay Road due to the close proximity to the lake.
In the warm seasons, you can walk down the dirt trail which starts next to house, or drive, to the best white sand beach on the lake. Young children walk with adults since you need to cross over Emerald Bay Road to get down to Meeks Bay beach.
Right across the road is the beautiful new paved bicycle/walking/jogging trail that goes from Meeks Bay Beach and Resort all the way to Tahoe City. It’s wonderful!
(Note: we do not provide bikes, byo)
We are near the Sugar Pine Point state park and the entrance to Desolation wilderness trail.
In winter enjoy amazing snowy views from the living room and dining area. Nearby are ski/boarding/sledding resorts.
We always wish we could stay longer. This is truly a home you can settle into. We sure have...our father built the cabin in 1977 and it has been in our family ever since. We rent only to help us with maintenance and upkeep costs.
Our house is cleaned and sanitized using approved disinfectants over the entire residence.
