About this property

Tahoe Sanctuary - Walk to Ski Lifts, Beach, Concerts, Golf, Casinos & much more!

Indulge in the best that the world renowned Lake Tahoe region has to offer! Wake up to mountain and lake views from every window and our decks. Spacious, clean and comfortable for everyone, this hosted holiday sanctuary offers every modern creature comfort and is perfectly sized for two or three families - sleeps up to 10 people total. This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath upper floor unit has been furnished to spare no comfort. WiFi and large screen smartTVs throughout each floor give everyone the ability to enjoy each other while still maintaining privacy. Chef's kitchen fully stocked with cooking essentials including blender, hand mixer, crockpot slow cooker, salad spinner, spices/seasonings, coffee and tea. In addition to our spacious dining room, our main deck also includes a BBQ grill and comfortable outdoor dining table with built-in fire pit for dining al fresco in the summertime and cozy conversations by the fire. To ensure that you’ll enjoy a comfortable stay, we’ve installed a Nest smart thermostat with temperature sensors on each floor to manage the central forced air heating system, controlled by a Nest Hub display in the living room, as well as strategically placed portable air conditioning units for the summertime. Tahoe rarely gets hot enough to need air conditioning so we have not installed A/C units in every room. When needed, the central ventilation fan combined with the portable fans that we have placed in every room do a good job of circulating cool air from the portable A/C units throughout the house. The game room features a billiards table and large screen smartTV connected to a classic Nintendo Wii AND Xbox 360 with a variety of nostalgic games. Plenty of board games for everyone to enjoy together are available in the living room. We also try our best to spoil our guests with luxurious finishing touches - comfortable mattresses, fluffy spa towels, fun beach towels, essential toiletries including shampoo, conditioner and aromatherapy hand soaps, lotions, and body wash.

Additionally, you will have the option to access our semi-private hot tub via a set of exterior stairs. Because the hot tub is only accessible from the outside, everyone visiting with you will need to provide us with a release of liability and agree to the City’s rules regarding outdoor hot tubs before we’re able to grant you access.

After an exhilarating day of playing in the sun, on the beach or on the slopes, relax your tired muscles and soak in our oversized bathtub, sink into our plush couches or snuggle up by our cozy fireplace. We even have an accessible standard power outlet that you can plug your EV charging cable into. Supercharging stations are also available just a few blocks away. We’ve truly tried our best to think of every convenience that you might need and aspire to be the perfect sanctuary for you to call home while exploring the spectacular Tahoe region!

Nestled in between the sandy shores and crystal clear waters of Lake Tahoe (Lakeside Beach is just 3 mins walk to the west), the ski slopes of Heavenly Mountain Resort & Heavenly Village (only 8 mins stroll to the east) and Edgewood Golf, Harvey’s Arena, Tahoe Event Center and all of the casinos, theaters & nightlife (just a short 10-19 mins stroll to the north) - we are located in the absolute BEST location in South Lake Tahoe! In fact, we’re one of the very few properties in the entire region that is both lakeside and ski-in / ski-out! Save precious time from waiting in long lines just to get into parking lots, skip the tedious search for expensive and scarce parking and enjoy your stay at our beautiful alpine retreat instead. Leave your car, stress, traffic and parking headaches behind as our home is within easy walking distance to restaurants; movie theater; groceries; local breweries; the world class Edgewood Golf Course (rated as one of Golf Digest’s top golf courses and home to the American Century Championship Celebrity Golf Tournament); Casinos; nightlife; concerts, festivals & conventions at both Harvey’s Outdoor Arena and the new Tahoe Blue Event Center; and of course, the beach, skiing & snowboarding!

During the peak summer season between Memorial Day and just after Labor Day, only limited public access to Lakeside Beach is available for $30 per adult per day ($20 per child 6 - 17). However, our guests are granted access to Lakeside Beach and all of its amenities including picnic tables, playground, swings, volleyball net, restrooms, breakwaters to protect young swimmers, air pump to blow up your inflatable beach toys & more… for only $5 per person (over 5 years old), per day. Our guests can also enjoy a 50% discount on beach rentals (umbrellas, beach chairs, games…) as well as access to Lakeside Beach for free before 7am and after 5pm during the peak summer season and any time of day during the spring, fall and winter. Furthermore, Lakeside Marina at Lakeside Beach offers kayaks, paddleboards, jet skis, boats & other watercraft rentals. The north end (right side as you are facing the lake) of Lakeside Beach is a charming event venue with a walkway & seating area. It is available to be reserved for weddings, family reunions & other events. Enjoy casual lakeside dining on the beach at Lakeside Beach Grill (banquet facilities available in their wind protected outdoor dining patio). Lakeside Beach is also the perfect 4th of July fireworks viewing spot! In addition, there is a water taxi which runs during the summer between Lakeside Marina, Timber Cove Marina, Round Hill Pines Marina and circles through Emerald Bay (https://action-watersports.com/lakeside-marina/) as well as carriage rides nearby.

For music lovers, summertime brings a series of concerts at Harvey’s Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena (12 mins stroll) and the brand new Tahoe Blue Event Center (19 mins stroll) as well as the various casinos. Some of these concerts are audible from our decks and might conclude with a fireworks show, which is viewable from our dining room window or front patio. For golf enthusiasts, we’re only an 18 mins walk to Edgewood, which hosts the annual American Century Championship Celebrity Golf Tournament in mid-July. Or rent a kayak or paddleboard from Lakeside Marina and paddle over to the shores of Edgewood in just 12 minutes for some celebrity sightseeing and to catch the action from the lake. Furthermore, Heavenly Mountain offers a host of summertime activities including zip lining, ropes course, gemstone panning, rock climbing wall, summer tubing, mountain coaster, 4x4 mountain expedition tours, and of course, hiking and mountain biking trails.

If you do decide to come with a car, May/June is the perfect time to come and explore the Tahoe region’s many waterfalls at their peak. Early October is the perfect time to come and experience the salmon run at Taylor Creek (https://visitlaketahoe.com/attractions/fall-fish-fest-editorial/). Or explore spectacular Emerald Bay or Sand Harbor Beach year round - all a short drive away. Other year round attractions that are within an easy 10 minute walk include miniature golf, axe throwing, massage and spa treatments.

The ski lifts are only a short walk away - 10 minutes in ski boots with skis in tow (~8 minutes in snowboard boots) to the Heavenly Gondola. Enjoy all of the amenities, including lots of dining options, locker rentals, snow tubing, ice skating and Après-Ski attractions at Heavenly Village - which makes our home practically ski-in / ski-out. We are quite literally in the heart of all the fun!

There are many ways to get here, with nearby airports in Reno Nevada, Sacramento California and San Francisco California. The South Tahoe Airporter shuttle (https://southtahoeairporter.com/door-to-door-service/) offers affordable door to door service from the Reno-Tahoe Airport. Once you’re here, there are plenty of electric scooters, bicycles and other vehicles available for rent nearby as well as easy access to Uber/Lyft. In addition, the city of South Lake Tahoe offers a free shuttle service - https://ss-tma.org/lake-link/ - that can take you to the ski lifts, casinos, golf, etc. Call 530-494-0153 to book a ride or download the Lake Link mobile app.

Beautiful house in a wonderful location

Thanks to our wonderful hosts - who were so kind to put up a tree - we celebrated a wonderful Christmas. Check-in and communication with our hosts was easy, rooms were comfortable, kitchen was well equipped, ample space for all.of us, and the house was just a short walk from the Heavenly Gondola. Lots of other options for those of us who did not ski made for a fun Vacation for all of us! Highly recommended!

Beautiful home in a great location

This was the perfect place for our call Tahoe getaway. The location is great as you can walk to so many things…restaurants, casinos, shopping, the beach. The home itself is very well stocked, nicely furnished, and very comfortable. The hosts, Norm and Esther, were so easy to work with and answered any questions very quickly. We would definitely stay here again!

Great property, helpful hosts

The property was clean, comfortable, and spacious, with an open floor plan, a nicely equipped kitchen, vaulted ceilings in the family room with ample seating. The bathrooms ere modern and nicely appointed. The upstairs has a second family/game room/ sleeping area. The property is centrally located within South Lake Tahoe and is a short walk to the lake and a 2-3 minute drive to the Heavenly gondola. Ideally the property would have had three full bathrooms, and while the property had internet, it did not have cable tv - you have to watch tv by signing in to your steaming services. We enjoyed our stay at the property and the hosts, Esther and Norm were very responsive to all of our questions and were a pleasure to work with. Overall, a great property and a great experience.

Very nice house a few blocks from the gondola

I traveled with my 20 year old son with a few of his friends to ski Heavenly for a few days. The house was very nice as advertised. The kitchen was well stocked and clean. The master bedroom and ensuite bathroom were larger than they really needed to be and the master bathroom shower was spa like. Very nice, warm and all you really need. We were there during the first few days of the many storms and the owners were very nice, communicated as needed and very accommodative. I would certainly rent this house again if we travel back to Heavenly.

Magical Getaway

Property was in incredible location- 3 block walk to Lake Tahoe, 3 block walk to shopping center and lifts up mountain. Even better was the communication with the hosts before and during the trip. They truly made our Christmas trip magical- setting up a decorated tree and even leaving a gift to our kids from Santa. Would definitely recommend this property!
