Conveniently situated between the town of Kings Beach and Northstar Ski Resort, this home places you in the perfect location for year-round fun.

In the summer, Northstar transforms into a hiker's paradise, featuring numerous trails for all skill levels and a world-class mountain biking facility. For even more hiking options, you’re just a 5-minute drive from the Brockway Summit trailhead, part of the famous Tahoe Rim Trail, which provides stunning views of Lake Tahoe. When you're in the mood to unwind, a quick 6-minute drive will take you to Kings Beach, where you can relax on white sand beaches, rent a variety of watercraft, or explore local supermarkets, boutique shops, spas, and an array of restaurants. Be sure to check the Kings Beach community calendar for free summer outdoor concerts and the farmer’s market schedule during your stay. If you’re looking for more entertainment, you’re just 10 minutes from the Nevada state line, where you can find concert venues and several casinos.

Northstar California Resort is just a 9-minute drive away via Hwy 267. Continue on this highway to reach the historic mountain town of Truckee, or stop for a hike at Brockway Summit, one of the trailheads for the famous Tahoe Rim Trail, offering breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe. You can also take a day trip into Nevada, as the state line is just a 5-minute drive away, and the town of Reno is a 45-minute drive from the home.

Mold in the shower. Sinks that don't drain. Oven that doesn't heat. No internet. A heating grate that broke and could cause serious injury to child and adult. Outlets that don't work. A broken chair seat that was dangerous. The property was pet friendly. The road was plowed regularly.

Good location

When we arrived to the house we discovered that housekeeping had not come to clean up from the previous tenants. I was able to make contact with the owner eventually and the cleaners were sent out late evening to clean. It was definitely inconvenient but we were issued a partial refund for the troubles. The WiFi isn’t very strong and there is little to no cell service, which is fine but just plan ahead if you need to look up travel stuff etc. This isn’t the fanciest house but it’s cozy and definitely has that mountain cabin feel to it.

Winter wonderland

My husband and 11yr old son had a blast. We arrived to a snowplowed driveway! The stairs had pads on them to melt the snow, nice! My son played on his sled in the front yard and down the street. Tons of soft snow all around us. We went for a snowmobile tour 3 miles away and had a wonderful day. The house is definitely clean, gently used, and dated. Not fancy, but gets the job done. The neighborhood is wonderful backing up to state park. Would love to go back in the summer if we could afford it.

Great cabin in the woods

We had a great stay in Kingswood Estates with 2 families. Cabin was just what needed for some downtime, snow play, and a walk in the woods. Loved that the Tahoe Rim Trail is just outside their back door. Owners were super easy to communicate with. A great experience for us!

Destination Christmas in Tahoe

I searched for homes for our first Destination Christmas with our kids and their spouses. We really didn’t know what to expect, but this place exceeded all of our expectations. It was beautiful, spacious, had everything in the kitchen that we needed. Cara was awesome to talk to, and quick to respond to our questions. There was lots of snow and we all had a wonderful time! Thank you so much for a very memorable Christmas!

Great location close to trails

We have stayed here several times and love the location. We arrived to find a shattered window from a bear break in and has a lot of glass top clean up. Owners were able to come board up the window for the rest of our stay. Owners are responsive to requests and allow dogs, which is huge help in discouraging visit from bears while we are there. Thank you too Cara and Carlo!

Peaceful, clean home in the woods

If you are looking for some peace and quiet with nearby trails and beautiful mountain woods, this home will fit the bill. It’s only a couple miles from all the action on Lake Tahoe. This two-story home has a nice layout and is very clean. It has a very homey feel to it. Perfect for two couples to share or a family of 4-6. We would absolutely return again, we liked it that much.

Great Host, Comfy House, Good Location

This place was a great fit for our family. It is close to the slopes for the skiers, nestled in a beautiful neighborhood next to the woods, and just up the hill from the town. The house was very clean and comfortable. As some of the other reviewers mentioned the wifi is not the greatest, so if you plan or need to stay conected during your visit, this may not be the place for you. The owner was very responsive throughout our reservation. We had a great time and would love to visit again.

Great getaway and as advertised.

Cara's place is pretty much as described. Location is <10 minutes to King's Beach. We had good snow which allowed for some nice sled runs behind the house. It looked like you could do some nice X-country skiing in the woods behind the house but we were lazy and went downhill instead at Mt. Rose. (Northstar is much closer but we like Mt Rose better.)
