Zermatt - Mountain Retreat Near Beach and Skiing, HotTub
Winter wonderland has arrived in Tahoe City! If you’re looking for a cozy, luxurious base for your ski trip, Zermatt is the perfect spot. Nestled in the heart of Tahoe City, Zermatt is an exceptional 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath chalet designed for multigenerational families and larger groups seeking an unforgettable vacation experience. Recently renovated, this luxury home boasts a newly remodeled kitchen that’s a chef’s dream, alongside a spacious open-concept common area perfect for gathering.
Upstairs: - Primary Bedroom 1: King with ensuite bathroom with shower and tub - Bedroom 2: bunk bed - Common Half Bath Downstairs: - Common Full Bath2 - Bedroom 3: Queen, twin daybed with trundle - Bedroom 4: Queen, twin daybed with trundle - Bedroom 5: King
FEATURES: * Enjoy new furnishings, beds and decor throughout the chalet, ensuring comfort and style at every turn. * New coffee/drink bar in living room with drink/wine refrigerator. * Unwind in the new hot tub set amidst a sprawling, heavily wooded lot — the perfect playground for kids. * The 'crib' amenity is actually a pack-n-play. Airbnb does not allow this differentiation.
SPECIAL NOTE: We have just completed the first phase of a multiphase project. The kitchen and living area have been completely redone. There are a few quirks since the remodel is not fully complete, it should not impact your stay.
While the space is fully functional, please be aware of a few quirks: * The washer/dryer has been relocated from the upstairs bunk room to the downstairs Bedroom 5 closet, which is slated to become a full bathroom and laundry room in future phases. * A patio door in the kitchen awaits future access to a rear patio; for now, it remains sealed. * Please note that the garage and adjacent room are currently undergoing renovations and are not accessible during your stay.
Guests can use the entire house. We are in the midst of a multi-phase remodel and the garage is currently unavailable for guests.
- Unique refrigerator ice maker that automatically makes spherical ice cubes. - Pop-up outlet on kitchen island with multiple USB-A and USB-C charging ports.
If you need more space, Zermatt has a sister property, Bear Lodge, that is walking distance (500 yards). With the two properties we can accommodate up to 20 additional guests (34 total). See airbnb.com/ rooms/50594823

We have high speed, reliable Internet at our home! Unlike many homes in Lake Tahoe who have spotty connections, we have high speed cable Internet that is great for working remotely!

Our home is FULLY STOCKED with everything you could need for a luxury vacation, whether you're coming in the Summer or the Winter! Have a question about the house? Let us know! We're always quick to respond!

This Lake Tahoe luxury home is situated on over .5 acres of land. Plus, it's just a 10 minute walk to the lake! The house has just been fully remodeled, featuring a new designer kitchen with commercial fridge/freezer, stainless steel appliances, drink refrigerator/station, free high-speed wireless internet, flat screen TV's throughout and new Restoration Hardware bedding.

Close to great hiking and bike trails in the summer, and cross-country and downhill skiing in the winter, this Tahoe luxury cabin is the place you want to be! Additional rules We are excited to share our beautiful home with you. Also, here are some very pertinent rules that we need to tell you about. There are a few strict rules in Lake Tahoe that you should be aware about (parking & noise) and a few house rules that we've put in place to ensure that you and other guests have a wonderful time at our home. They are all listed below. Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm always around to help. PS. We highly encourage you to purchase travel insurance! Airbnb won't let us put a link to a particular rental insurance provider, but vacation rentalinsurance is reasonable.
MANDATORY HOUSE RULES:
• Do not park anywhere on the property other than the actual asphalt parking spots. The sheriff's department can fine you up to $1000 for parking on anything other than the street or driveway. DO NOT park on the dirt. There is only enough parking for up to 4-5 vehicles in the driveway (depending on snow levels). In the summer, you can park on the street, but we don't recommend bringing any more than 5 vehicles with you to the home. Please carpool!
• There are very strict noise ordinances in the county. Quiet hours are from 10pm - 9am every day. After 10pm noise needs to be under 40 dB which is library quiet. This means that we do not permit any congregating outside (even in the hot tub) after 10pm. If the neighbors call the Sheriff, you can be fined up to $1,000! This is no laughing matter and we’d hate for you to get a $1,000 fine. If the owners are fined separately, that cost will be passed on to the guests renting the home.
• Absolutely NO SMOKING on the property. If you are a smoker, we ask that you take a walk and smoke. Our neighbors are very strict on this and will report smoking. Please let others enjoy the beauty and smell of the outdoors, not of your cigarettes or cigars.
• If you have dogs, you must pick up their waste and dispose of it in a plastic bag. We will not tolerate anything less. Please also make sure there is no excessive barking.
• Any trash from your visit must be picked up and disposed of in the bear can. Please do not leave ANY trace or trash on the property when you leave. Keep the forest the way you found it! Bears have an incredible sense of smell and are very resourceful. If they smell food in your car they will break in. Please do not leave any food outside the house other than the bear bins.
Thank you for your cooperation. We want you to have a wonderful time at our home. We just ask that you be responsible guests. Please confirm that you have received this message and that you agree to abide by these rules. Thank you and we look forward to hosting you for a wonderful vacation!

Nice enough. Convenient location
Chosen for the size and location to palisades ski resort. Owner was good communicating via text. Property a bit tired with non working bbq. Well stocked kitchen. Tv setup in main room difficult to use and needs written instructions. One small bathroom downstairs shared by 8 people a bit awkward. Appreciated early check in and extended check out tho
