Lake front chalet-incredible view, sleeps 12!

Yes, you did! If you’re looking for the perfect little spot on the Lake for your next family vacation, you’ve just found it! This charming Lakefront chalet is fully stocked and can easily accommodate three families. It sleeps 12 people comfortably on two floors. It has an open living area with a cozy fireplace, an updated kitchen with an island, and everything you'll need for your stay: refrigerator, gas range and oven, coffee maker, espresso machine, coffee grinder, toaster, microwave, waffle maker, pots, pans, cooking utensils, dishes, and silverware. You'll have your own private beach with pier access to enjoy during the summer months. It’s an ideal ski/snowboard chalet during the winter, located just north of Homewood Ski Resort – the best kept secret among local skiers.

OLYMPIC HISTORY: This beach house was the official residence of the Swedish Olympic Ski Team during the 1960 Olympic Games. A memorial plaque is proudly posted near the kitchen. My parents came from Greece, birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games, it warms my heart to share this with you! ♥

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION: This adorable beach house is located in a great spot on the west shore of Lake Tahoe – “west shore, best shore” is what the locals say. The deck is perfect for spectacular views of the big blue Lake. Yes, that’s Nevada across the water to the east, and you’ll watch dazzling shows in the morning and the evening as you enjoy both the sun and the moon gloriously rising for your viewing pleasure from the front deck or large windows. In the evening, the sky and the Lake turn pink – that’s the time to take your photos out on the deck, on the beach, or on the pier! When you look south, you’ll see the ski paths at Heavenly Ski Resort, and to the north you’ll see Kings Beach and Incline Village. Keep your eyes open in the evening, as we are often treated to random fireworks at various points around the Lake at any given time! During 4th of July, hit the pier early with beach chairs, jackets, and flashlights – you’ll be treated to at least 5 different fireworks shows happening all around the Lake – what a treat!

PRIVATE BEACH, SHARED PIER, BIKE/FOOT PATH: Right across the street is the private beach that is part of this property. We have a couple of beach chairs for you, and you might want to bring your water shoes. Tahoe City has plenty of beach gear options for you if you forgot to pack something. You’ll see the bike/foot path that runs parallel to the street on the Lake side – either way you take on this path is a stunning, refreshing, and exhilarating excursion. This home is located 3.75 miles south of Tahoe City where restaurants, shopping, the movie theater, and other activities can be found. And Obexer’s Marina is 2.5 miles south where you can launch your boat or rent sailboats and jet skis. While we have a few of bicycles for you to enjoy (1 adult, 2 kid), if that’s not enough, the Olympic Bike Shop in Tahoe City and West Shore Sports in Homewood both have rentals of all kinds – call ahead, bring your helmets. You’ll have access to the shared HOA Skyland pier which is locked and gated for you and your guests to soak up the sun, snap amazing photos, or jump in the lake.

INSIDE THE BEACH HOUSE: Every bedroom has a view of the Lake. As you enter the beach house, you’ll be greeted by the dining area on your left, the living room on your right, and the newly remodeled kitchen in front of you. Next to the kitchen is a bathroom, and just past it you’ll find the only bedroom located downstairs with a queen bed. Up the stairs on the right you’ll find 2 bedrooms. The first bedroom has a full-sized bed, and this room connects to another bedroom we call “the submarine” with 4 twin beds. The submarine is a favorite with the kids. The 2 bottom beds pull out and create a fun little cozy cave-like spot all the kids enjoy! At the top of the stairs is a bathroom. Up the stairs and to the left you’ll find 2 more bedrooms - the main bedroom and a sunlit room with 2 twin beds. The beautiful main bedroom has a queen bed, 3 large, picture windows, its own large bathroom, and a walk-in closet.

There is wireless Internet for you in this home.
Your pets are welcome with prior written approval at $50/night per-pet fee.
The circular driveway can accommodate 4 cars, depending on the size.
Be sure to empty your car completely – do not leave any food wrappers inside. The bears will break into your car for your delicious trash.

Plan to layer your clothes. It can be very warm during the day and chilly at night. Water bottles are a must, it’s easy to get dehydrated. The closest ER is 18 miles north in Truckee.

Please know that highways, access roads, and our driveway can be steep, which is common in the mountainous Lake Tahoe area and can be icy in the winter. In order to ensure your safety, it is critical that during November 1st - April 30th your vehicle must be in excellent operating condition. Check your brakes, windshield wipers & fluid, defroster, heater, and exhaust system. Your tires need to be properly inflated, and the tread must be in great shape. Always carry tire chains, even if driving an AWD/4WD vehicle - unless you have a 4WD vehicle with snow-tires. Make sure the chains are the proper size for your tires and are in working order. You can find winter driving guidance from the CHP here: https://www.chp.ca.gov/programs-services/services-information/winter-driving-tips

We practice Covid cleaning precautions before you arrive. Some road noise should be expected.

CAUTION: Our home is on West Lake Blvd. which is the main road running along the West Shore. Please exercise extreme caution with your pets and small children. We have gates on the deck, be sure to keep them closed when small children and pets are out there with you. Even the most well-behaved dogs can be tempted to run across the street to greet other dogs on the bike/foot path.

West Shore Lake Tahoe

Great location on West Lake Boulevard with unobstructed views of Lake Tahoe. Bike/Pedestrian path accessed across street. Close to Tahoe City and evertyhing else on the West Side, including pristine and spectacular Emerald Bay and endless miles of hiking. House is well equipped, and has a private pier, paddleboards, bikes for guest use. Easy must do’s include cold plunging off the end of the private pier, scrambling up Eagle Rock a short walk away, and chilling on the large deck with full-on Lake Tahoe views. We even had a friendly black bear come bu to say hello!

Great Views and close to the the Quaint town of Tahoma.

We had a great time with our family. The views are great! I would recommend this property for 6 adults and 6 children. One bedroom with 4 twin beds if attached to a bedroom which can be a challenge. The primary bedroom as nice, which had a wonderful shower with great water pressure, however there was no door to the bathroom so be prepared. The home is right off of Hwy 89 so expect traffic sounds. The lake, and private dock are right across the highway which was wonderful to enjoy.

Great location

The location and views can’t be beat. The house was plenty big for our vacation. Mailana was very accommodating and responsive! However, the house needs some revamping. The furniture (specifically the couch and outdoor couch) were falling apart and uncomfortable. The wires outlining the upper deck were loose which was a huge safety issue for the kids and dogs. The gate at the top of the staircase was flimsy and frustrating to deal with. And in general the house needed a good cleaning (my kids feet were black within in minutes of walking barefoot in the house) Overall we had a nice stay just feel for the price paid the house should be a little more updated/more attention to detail

Overall great stay!

This house has a lot of charm and is in a nice location. The floors could use a good mopping and there is no AC but the private beach across the street was nice (albeit small) and the house was fully stocked. The host was quick to respond and provided us with very thorough instructions for our stay. Would recommend!

Beautiful view

The view and location alone is worth booking! The house was perfect layout for 10 women celebrating a birthday. Bedrooms were spacious and the view from every room was incredible. We spent tons of time outdoors on the deck. The kitchen was perfect we even hosted a private dinner on the patio with a chef one night. Highly recommend. Host communication was incredible and very responsive. We had a minor issues with the speaker system but it was only because our phones no longer had headphone jacks to be able to connect. I truly hope we are able to return and visit again, I would book this same house every time if I could!

Beautiful Cottage & location

This cottage could be so much more. Unfortunately the cleanliness was lacking. Peeling paint in the bathroom the carpet in two of the bedrooms was filthy & stained. The kitchen & living room had been updated as well as the master bedroom & bath. The bunk room & kids room was cute and updated as well. For the price of this cottage they need to update the other two bedrooms as well as the main floor bathroom. We cleaned the cobwebs & dirt on the main floor. The cottage really needs a deep clean. On a positive note the fresh roses, wine, coffee & pancake mix was a very nice gift.

Tahoe Siblings Family Reunion

The house was fantastic! Such a breath taking view. We had 10 ppl and one dog and everyone was more than comfortable. The only downside is there is no sound barrier from the main road traffic so that was a little loud. We did have a visit from some Bears so make sure to keep your cars locked and super clean. We loved the privacy of our own pier and took many walks along the lake. Was the perfect size for our group

Snowbound and Loving it!

The house is large but cozy. The view over the lake is amazing. Half our tribe went snowboarding at Palisades and the rest of us stayed in and watched the snow accumulate, and boy did it. Very good communication with owner. We had a great time. Because there were 10 of us, a few more comfy chairs or beanbags in the living room would be nice. Snowplow for driveway was much appreciated. Overall, a great place to stay!
