About this property

Ahwahnee Hotel Inspired Design in Homewood

Kamp Knobcone was built by a master builder as his family's West Shore Tahoe retreat. It is in the perfect West Shore location 6 minutes from Homewood Mountain Resort and a short walk to Chambers Landing Beach. High speed Suddenlink WIFI and a full cable channel lineup is available on the Bose Surround Sound Entertainment system. Enjoy music from around the world on the Yamaha MusicCast stereo. Relax in the Swedish dry sauna after snowboarding or hiking!
Luxuriate in the home's fine attention to detail. The hand-crafted details bring you back to an age where life was slower, focused on leisure time with family and friends in sumptuous surroundings.
Celebrate life with family at the massive single slab mahogany dining table adjacent to the well equipped chef's gourmet kitchen with a forty-eight inch commercial range, two sinks, and sharp knives.
When it's time to turn in, you'll find the bedrooms richly appointed with high-end mattresses, top quality linens, and comforters. The linens are professionally laundered by J D Linens.
The top floor contains a reading loft and two master bedrooms with ensuite baths, each with original oil paintings. On the lower level there is a well equipped exercise/entertainment room, two bathrooms, and two bedrooms with three beds each.The third master bedroom is in a private detached studio with soaking tub, separate shower, fireplace, and kitchen. An original oil replica of Bougereau's controversial painting "The Nymphaeum" 1873 is featured above the fireplace in the luxurious bathroom and a full size copy of Albert Bierstadt's "Moose" 1880 is above the mantel in the studio. The originals of each painting are hung in the Haggin Museum in Stockton, California.

Beautiful property
Lovely, nicely furnished, very comfortable beds, and a nicely stocked kitchen. Very nice and cozy apartment above the garage. Hosts were always available for questions and help. Only issue was the phone system, needed to travel a bit to get reception. We loved our stay, and would highly recommend!

Fun family Christmas stay
Overall the house provided everything we needed for our 3 generation Christmas. Everyone had a comfortable bed and the house was large enough for 9 people to not be on top of one another. Check in and out was easy. The kids loved playing in the snow, building snowman and forts. Location was good to snow activities and not too far from town to get supplies. House was well appointed with bedding, towels, kitchenware, washer/dryer. Multiple crock pots were great! Drawbacks: needed the binder to provide more information than how to use the tv’s. I am used to helpful hints on appliances and local restaurant and activity recommendations. The house is super dark, lighting was an issue when wanting to play games or for putting on makeup. The electronics are out of date (unable to connect to streaming services for Christmas movies was a bummer). Inclined driveway was dangerous with ice (car slid down). No shampoo! Had to rewash towels as they had a soiled smell. Struggled with ovens (left one doesn’t work as well as right). Nest thermostat kept losing power which was disconcerting. We made it work and nothing took away from having a good time.

Fantastic home
The home was very clean and very accommodating for an extended family of all ages. Had a great kitchen for several cooks (Which our family has a lot of). Very clean when we arrived. It’s the perfect getaway for any busy person.

Little Ahwahnee
We could not have been happier with our stay at The Little Ahwahnee! It exceeded our expectations and we are already hoping for a return visit to this beautiful property! It was clean, well appointed, beautifully decorated and spacious. The kitchen included everything needed and the master suites were lovely. The downstairs was the perfect spot for movies and would be great for younger adults to hang out. It is located within walking distance to Chambers, which was nice. We could not have had a better stay. Thank you for sharing this lovely home with us!

Our family vacation
This is a beautiful, unusual and artistic home obviously built with great love and attention to every detail. It was perfect for our family of 6 adults and 4 children. Each couple had their own bedroom and bath; the kids had the downstairs to themselves. Every bed was comfortable and the linens and towels were first class. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything a gourmet chef could desire, the long table fit all 10 of us easily, and the decor was true Ahwahnee. The owners were understanding and easily reached by phone. The only thing we missed was outdoor seating for a large group and a gas barbeque for easier grilling. However, it was a wonderful experience in a very unique home.

Wonderful stay in National Park Lodge Inspired House
We stayed here for 8 nights with our family and had a wonderful time. The property is beautiful, well-furnished, and has many artistic details. We enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen. We loved the bathroom with the built-in fireplace in the guest cottage. Our hosts were extremely generous and very communicative. Highly recommended!

Beautiful cabin in a quiet area
We had a large family and needed a cabin that gave us enough rooms and areas to relax inside and outside. The separate master bedroom cabin next to the main cabin was perfect and gave my parents privacy. Lots of wood, detail, and an older lodge feeling.

Incredible kitchen and great space for group
With a bathroom for every bedroom, two rooms downstairs with 3 twins each for all the kids, and 3 more rooms for adults, this home was really thoughtfully designed with families in mind. The kitchen is stocked for a chef. I usually bring everything I need with me for cooking for a crowd because undoubtedly there isn’t a pot or skillet big enough or a salad bowl large enough. Or knife sharp enough! That will never happen here - it was stocked to the nines for cooking for a crowd. Absolutely want to return!

Wonderful stay
We loved our time at this property. The cabin was beautiful and accommodated us perfectly. Location was great, we couldn’t ask for more! One thing I did want to mention so that the owner is aware, but we happened to watch a shingle from the roof blow off into the yard on Sunday evening. Otherwise everything was wonderful. Thanks for a fantastic stay!!

Wish I had better news
I wish I had a positive review to share. Owners were responsive during our stay when we ran into several issues during our stay. We were flexible and did not make a big deal. Some of the inconveniences include: The main door to the yard was not functioning. It was excessively warm inside(No A/C) and the ice maker was not hooked up so we had do buy ice. We were told that there was charcoal for the Weber, but they forgot to furnish so we can do buy at the store. They were no instructions to run the commercial washer and dryer so called the owner who had me unplug the unit a few times to get working. Please beware the Cleaning Fee is high compared my vrbo stays through the years. We had issue that we were not able to fit all dishes in the dishwasher (Big House, but 1 standard size dishwasher) and check out time was relatively early. As a result, the owner did not return our security deposit due to this. I called the owner and asked for an further detailed explanation. They also shared there was debris but could not provide any details (the place has poor interior lighting/dark). In other words, they apply the security deposit for the rinsed dishes in the sinck. They said they did not personally inspect the house but they were calling the house cleaner and would get back to me about the security deposit. They warned me about the housekeeper not speaking English well and hard to communicate with. After calling them, emailing and texting, they still have not followed up for 6 days and counting. During our first morning ,we had multiple service visits from the burglar alarm and surveilance companies so we were caught off guard and was disruptive to our privacy. Prior to our visit, we were give no instructions on how to turn off the barking dog alarm. We all got woken up in the middle night first night The laundry service showed up and broke the garage door opener. They are other issues which I will hold off on sharing

Large, well-appointed home in a great neighborhood
The house is beautiful, nicely decorated and tucked away in my favorite area of Tahoe. A 10-15 minute walk to Chambers Landing, it blends the quiet and calm atmosphere of the neighborhood with access to the Tahoma beach and social scene. The property is beautiful, the setup of the bedrooms and guest house makes it flexible for groups or families, and the hosts were responsive and kind.

Stunning home
I booked this house for family and friends needing accommodations for my daughter’s wedding. The house is beautiful, warm and inviting. The radiant heat warms the house without drying the air, as with forced heating. Fully stocked kitchen and lots of space through out, I would highly recommend this home for anyone wanting a place in the west Shore area of Lake Tahoe.

About the host

Hosted by Maclyn Morris

Host profile image
Kamp Knobcone was designed on a placemat while having breakfast in the grand Ahwahnee dining room. I have been a builder of fine art homes all of my life and built this home for my family retreat. We love to snowboard, hike, bicycle ride, and we created a kitchen where we all can cook together. The kitchen and Great Room with its massive fireplace are the entire main level of the home. It is where our four generation family spends time together. The heating is very comfortable in-floor hydronic.









Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. After working on Fluer de Lac in Tahoe Pines over several years, Maclyn fell in love with Lake Tahoe's West Shore and set out to find a quiet neighborhood to build his own West Shore home for his family. Kamp Knobcone backs up to trailheads into Desolation Wilderness and is a short walk to Lake Tahoe

What makes this property unique

There's really no place like Kamp Knobcone, especially when it combines all the modern amenities with timeless elegance and exquisite craftmanship. The architecture soars and the professionally furnished interior with huge original oil paintings dazzle and entice the senses!
Want to skip cooking after a hard day of skiing or hiking? Top rated restaurants in Homewood include the lake view West Shore Cafe and the iconic Swiss Lakewood and on the way to Tahoe City is Sunnyside with big lake views and patio dining in the summer. In Tahoe City are fine dining at Wolfdale's Cuisine Unique, Christy Hill, and Le Petit Pier.
