Any questions? Please feel free to reach out, I would be happy to answer them. I'm happy to help with recommendations and planning activities for your trip.
Open Living Spaces
The entire top floor of the house is an open great room, so your group or family can all be together. There are windows all around looking out on the pine forest, with sliver views of the Lake. There's a real wood burning woodstove for ambiance. Gather your group around the table, and if you need more seats, pull over the smaller table. Otherwise the smaller table serves as a work area, or as a game or puzzle table. Enjoy the books, games, toys and puzzles for all ages. There's an area to the side with an Eames style chair, perfect for reading (or napping!) Get creative and make your mark on the chalkboard wall.
Kitchen and Grill
Feed your group from the fully equipped kitchen, which opens onto an island with stools and the great room. There's a gas stove, Breville gourmet small appliances, common utensils, and some common staples and spices. We supply coffee, tea, sugar, etc. There will be snacks and beverages awaiting your arrival. There's a huge Weber propane grill on the back deck. Off the kitchen is a pantry with the one of two washer/dryers, and one of three full bathrooms.
Upper Deck
Two sets of French doors lead to the large upper deck, where you will feel like you're out in the forest. There's a table, chairs, and umbrella and grill, all surrounded by the pine forest.
Hot Tub
On the lower back deck there is a hot tub, which will be freshly serviced before you arrive.
Lake Tahoe Park Private HOA Included
The most amazing part of the house, arguably is not the house. The house belongs to the extraordinary Lake Tahoe Park HOA beach and waterfront park, the nicest private HOA waterfront on Lake Tahoe. The HOA has the longest private HOA beach in Tahoe, and two piers to take you out into the Lake for extraordinary views year round. There are private picnic areas, many of which are on the Lake, and a playground. You can extend your Tahoe stay by using the HOA before check-in or after check-out. In Summer, there is volleyball, basketball, swimming, horseshoes and corn hole. I can reserve you a private picnic area with a BBQ grill and picnic table, just let me know. You are my guests at the HOA, there are no fees or restrictions.

Lake Overlook and the National Forest
Just steps from the house is one of the best views of Lake Tahoe. Catch your morning inspiration, or enjoy the sunset! A trail leads from the backyard to the National Forest, with a vast network of trails. In Winter there's snowshoeing, and the trail connects to Granlibakken's groomed cross country trails (free). In Summer there's something for every level of hiking or mountain biking. From the backyard there is year round easy access to the Truckee River, and the famous Paige Meadows, a string of alpine meadows filled with wildflowers and surrounded by aspen and firs.
There's a small village in the neighborhood, a satellite of Tahoe City. There's Sunnyside restaurant, bar, and marina, Shaddyside Mexican restaurant and bar, West Shore Market, Firesign Cafe, Spoon Restaurant, a watersports school and boat rental shop, and a bike, kayak and SUP (paddleboard) rental shop. Nearby is Tahoe House bakery and market. The path along the Lake and down the Truckee River runs passed all these.
Palisades and Northstar
You can't get much closer to Palisades while still being near the Lake and a town! The bases of both Alpine Meadows and Palisades Tahoe are both about nine miles away, and accessible by free shuttle. Better yet, there's a free four mile shuttle to the back side of the Alpine Meadows side of Palisades, with parking at the bottom of the neighborhood and no traffic or parking reservations or fees at the resort to worry about! From the shuttle you can ski/ride to anywhere on both sides of Palisades.
The location is classic Lake Tahoe at its very best.
You have exclusive use of the entire property, including the hot tub.
You have full access to the private Lake Tahoe Park HOA beach and park. You are my guests - there are no extra charges.
I love sharing my home, Tahoe, and the mountains with people! I am always happy to help you plan your Lake Tahoe visit. I can recommend activities, restaurants, equipment rentals, the best places to visit and things to do.
I try to respond immediately if you have questions or need anything. If there's an issue during your visit, either I, my co-host Jenny, or the housekeeper Melissa will come to the house.
Misc. infrastructure notes:
- The wifi has speeds like in the Bay Area. There is a repeater that ensures it reaches everywhere in the house.
- There is generally good cell coverage at the house.
- For EV charging there is a standard 110 volt outlet and a 220 dryer-style outlet you're welcome to use. There is a very large Tesla charging station and a non-Tesla charger, both about two miles away.
- There are battery powered lanterns in the house and an outdoor gas generator for power outages.
