About this property

Dog Friendly Home Near Hiking/Biking Trails and Ski Resorts, EV charger

Escape to this beautifully updated, dog-friendly mountain home that perfectly blends modern comfort with Tahoe charm. With three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and an expansive garage with EV charger, this home is your ideal base for exploring Lake Tahoe's natural wonders and nearby ski resorts. Just a short drive from Tahoe City, Palisades Tahoe, and Northstar, as well as the lake itself, this retreat offers prime access to hiking and biking trails within minutes.

The layout is thoughtfully designed for privacy and convenience. On the lower level, a spacious studio-style primary bedroom awaits, featuring a California king size bed, complete with its own private bathroom and a mini kitchen area. This suite provides a cozy yet private space and is never rented separately from the main house, ensuring complete privacy for your group. Upstairs, the open-concept living area invites you to unwind, complete with a fireplace, an 85-inch TV, and a fully equipped kitchen ideal for gathering. While two additional bedrooms are also on the upper level—one with a California king bed and the other with a queen bed—alongside two more bathrooms, providing ample comfort and style for all guests.

During the summer, take full advantage of the deck for grilling and dining al fresco with mountain views as your backdrop. With easy access year-round, you'll find room for two cars in the driveway and another two in the garage, making this home as practical as it is beautiful.

In winter, this home transforms into the perfect cozy retreat. After an exhilarating day skiing or snowboarding at nearby resorts like Palisades Tahoe and Northstar, return to a warm, inviting space designed for relaxation. Gather around in the comfortable fireplace in the living room or whip up a hearty meal in the fully equipped kitchen. Whether you're here for outdoor adventures or a cozy winter retreat, this home has everything you need to experience the best of Tahoe.

Excellent Property

We really enjoyed our stay! The property was really clean and had all necessities we needed, even a crockpot for my roast. It was me, my husband, kids 17 & 20, our dog. We were not too far from Diamond Peak Resort for our boys to go snowboarding.

Kay’s retreat

My family and I had a wonderful time during our stay at Kay’s retreat. We stayed with our aunt and uncle and the downstairs worked perfectly for them to have their own privacy. The location was great for us to go to a family wedding in Reno and enjoy all Tahoe has to offer. So easy to head into Tahoe City for anything you might need. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Winter in Tahoe

This property was beautiful. My family really enjoyed our stay at this centrally located property which is close to grocery stores, shopping, restaurants and activities. The property is exactly what the pictures reflect. The home information and instructions received prior to check in are very detailed and extremely helpful. The home was stocked with basic necessities so we didn’t need to stress going to the grocery store on our arrival day during a winter storm. This made our stay even better. The property was very clean and had plenty of dishes, cooking utensils and pots and pans. The beds were so comfortable and the water pressure was great in the showers. And the rooms, besides the dining room, had blinds/shades so you weren’t awaken by sunlight too early. Being on vacation, this matters and this is rare in Tahoe, from my experience. We were welcomed with a personalized card and treats and a Tahoe grocery bag along with a treat for our furry family member. The home was stocked with great board games and other family games, Kleenex, warm blankets and the little things which makes a difference. We loved that it was pet friendly but also very clean. We didn’t even notice any signs of any pets prior to our stay. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone and would return back again.

Great getaway close to Tahoe City

Great stay at Kay's retreat. The property is very new, and it was very clean. Our family (2 adults, and three teens) had a great time. The living room has a great TV, which was great for us to relax after a day of skying.

Decent Family Rental

This property is great in a lot of ways and accurately described. We really loved the helpful notebook with local details. The property does get incredibly hot during the day, partially due to no shades on the East side of the house. Carpet is also very much in need of replacing. However, those are really the only “complaints” - everything else was what we expected!

What an amazing stay!

My family and I enjoyed our stay here. It was very clean, spacious, and cozy all at the same time. Everything is very new and as seen on the pictures. I would definitely recommend this place and will be booking here in the future. :) The only downside was that it didn’t have many restaurants near by, so be sure to take groceries.

Great Taho Getaway

Kay's Retreat was a wonderful place to stay for a long weekend. Close to mountain biking trails (a short pedal up the hill) and only a 5 minute drive to Skylandia Beach where we took out the paddleboards. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need to cook a nice meal. The garage was a little small to park our car, but great to store bikes & boards. We really appreciated the very informative notebook that included the history of Tahoe and things to do. We'd stay there again!

What a great stay!

First family vacation to Lake Tahoe and it was amazing. I'm still dreaming about that lake. The house was clean and beautiful. Beds and sheets were super comfy. I need to know where you got those sheets. The kitchen had everything we needed. The location was perfect for us. We are definitely talking about a return trip. Thank you so much.

Best property

This place is the best rental property I've been so far. When we reserved a property we dont always get what we expected. This one is beyond my expectation. The whole house was upgraded, well kept and complete. I definitely would come back and reserve this property again.

Fantastic Home

Pretty much everything is new or mint condition. All appliances worked as expected. Location is nice, close to grocery stores, pharmacy, rentals (skiing bicycles, etc. ). I have a Ford Explorer which is difficult to get into the garage, though I parked outside with no hassle.

Nice pet friendly Tahoe cabin

We had a really good time at the property. Our group included my older parents, husband and two daughters (ages 3 and 5) as well as our dog. The room setup is nice for multiple generations since my parents were able to escape to their own space downstairs when they needed a little break from the commotion. The pictures are very accurate, and the positives were the very comfortable bed with nice pillows and sheets as well as a fully stocked kitchen with all of the needed kitchenware for having family meals. Everything was very clean and seemed recently remodeled. The two TVs are both smart TVs so we could use our streaming accounts easily. We did lose power briefly at one point during our stay (the entire neighborhood did) and I was pleased to find a very equipped emergency box with candles, flashlights, etc. Luckily it only lasted for 30 mins :) Overall this is a very solid choice for a smaller group with a pup in tow.
