About this property
Heavenly Retreat | Secluded Mountain Retreat
A contemporary mountain retreat with 2,500 square feet of thoughtful craftsmanship, this secluded 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers a peaceful Tahoe setting beside a quiet US Forest Service lot. Designed for families and small groups, the home blends warm mountain character with modern comfort, including vaulted ceilings, granite countertops, hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, a private hot tub, a pool table, and central air conditioning, a rare and highly valued Tahoe amenity for summer stays.
• This home has comfortable sleeping and dining for a family of 8, with no more than 6 occupants over the age of 5.
Inside, the main living level feels bright, open, and inviting. The vaulted ceilings rise above the great room, where the living room, dining area, kitchen, and guest half bath come together in one easy gathering space. A stone-accented gas fireplace creates a cozy focal point for snowy evenings, while two sliding glass doors open to a large upper deck overlooking the peaceful forest setting and adjacent USFS lot. It is an ideal spot for grilling, morning coffee, or relaxing with a book beneath the pines.
The kitchen is open and well-equipped for time together at home, featuring granite slab countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, and a large pantry. The upstairs primary suite offers a comfortable private retreat with a spacious bathroom, two separate vanities, a spa tub, and a separate stall shower. Downstairs, guests will find two additional bedrooms: the first bedroom has a queen bed and its own ensuite bathroom and the second, large bedroom with a queen bed, two twin beds, is adjacent to a second bathroom. A game room/family room with a pool table adds another fun gathering space, with direct access to the lower deck and the large private hot tub.
