Ward Creek 3 Bedroom Hideaway
Enjoy this great West Shore location and home surrounded by trees and open space. This 3-bedroom vacation home provides a cozy spot for family and friends as well as easy access to West Shore locations and Tahoe City. New in the spring of 2025, the owner added a new back porch with a hot tub, seasonal gas BBQ, and seasonal seating! The backyard is private and peaceful.
You enter the house into the downstairs living space which includes the living room. dining area and kitchen with breakfast bar for 3. Down the hall, you'll find a queen bedroom and full bathroom. Upstairs is cozy, with the two additional bedrooms and second bathroom. One bedroom has a queen bed the the third, a single set of twin bunks w/ a twin trundle suitable for children. These two rooms share a balcony with seating to enjoy the peaceful, forested back area of the property. The balcony off the upstairs bedrooms is perched over the new downstairs deck. The living room has a large television and gas stove. Two additional chairs for the dining table are nearby.
The West Shore is a great place for a Tahoe getaway and this neighborhood, about two miles from Tahoe City, is a perfect spot. A little over a half mile walk or bike distance to Sunnyside Bar, Restaurant and Beach. It is also so close to many hiking/biking trails during the summer months.
During the Winter season you are close to Palisades Tahoe/Alpine Ski Resort and Homewood Mountain Resort. Tahoe XC is a short drive and great for Nordic skiing or snowshoeing. During the ski season Palisades has a shuttle that runs from Sunnyside up to the Sherwood Chair on the backside of Alpine Meadows Resort. Be sure to research that schedule to make your resort access super easy.
Summer on the Westshore is as good as it gets! Beaches, boats, hikes, and bikes. Tahoe City shopping, groceries, bars and restaurants are a few miles away. Just down the street at the bottom of Ward Creek Blvd is Kilner Park, offering tennis, pickleball volleyball and a playground area. Sunnyside, Firesign Cafe and Spoon's Restaurants are a short walk. The West Shore Market with great a grocery selection, and good beer and wine choices is very nearby too. The Market also serves sandwiches and flat bread pizzas.
