***Pets Prohibited***
This dreamy, charmingly decorated, lakefront cottage is located on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe, in the quiet town of Tahoe Vista. Situated with a view to the west, it’s a perfect place to take in spectacular summer sunsets or winter’s evening alpenglow.
The cottage is roomy enough for 4 guests, with a Queen bed in the bedroom and a comfortable sofa sleeper in the living area. Full kitchen is equipped with all the basics needed to prepare and serve meals. Full bathroom just off the living area. Gas fireplace provides both ambiance and heat to keep you cozy and warm.
The Franciscan Lakeside’s seasonally available amenities include a large, sandy beach with lounge chairs; private pier; heated swimming pool; sand volleyball court; and a shared gas grill available for renters to use.
With its central North Shore location, access to all the fun is so easy! Skiing and boarding at Palisades, NorthStar, Mt. Rose, and several other ski resorts is just a 15-20 minute drive. Hiking and biking trails for all skill levels are close by. If you're bringing a boat, the Tahoe Vista Boat Launch is right next door. You can launch kayaks and paddleboards practically right outside the front door, at the Franciscan Lakeside's private beach. For shopping and dining options, the bustling town of Kings Beach is less than 2 miles to the east, while Carnelian Bay and Tahoe City lie a few miles to the West.
Franciscan Lakeside # 29 is ready and waiting to welcome you for your next Lake Tahoe adventure!

Amazing stay. Loved being water front! Everyone goes and sets up their chairs and umbrellas as soon as they arrive and leaves them overnight, so keep that in mind and set up your gear when you get there
