REDUCED PRICES due to the economy! ON TOP OF OLD HEAVENLY ALL COVERED WITH TREES, AWAY GOES THE TENSION THE MOMENT YOU SEES. (Well, I'm no poet). Welcome to THE FIRE PLACE: firefighters, families and friends! Nestled among tall pines and grand boulders on the crest of the mountain OVERLOOKING the south end of Lake Tahoe; a private deck and a beautiful sunset await your arrival. Decorated in firehouse theme, this charming 1250 square foot townhome is just minutes away from the Heavenly ski lifts on the Nevada side, .5 mi to BOULDER (ski lessons there) and 1.5 mi to STAGECOACH from where you can ski across to the California side. A 7 minute drive down to the bottom of the mountain are casinos, stores and restaurants.
NORA WRITES, "We enjoyed staying at The Fire Place so much! It's beautiful - just exactly the way it's described on the web-site. I am a travel agent and we've seen many places where that is not the case, so we were pleasantly surprised."
UPSTAIRS: two bedroom, 1 queen bed in each bedroom, a small loft in one bedroom fits three kids in sleeping bags, a full bath between, and a washer/dryer combo in a closet.
DOWNSTAIRS: a well equipped kitchen, breakfast bar, half bath, living room, a beautiful new porcelein enamel simulated wood-burning stove, a new sofa, 2 new leather recliners, a fire-patch collection, a BBQ on the deck with awesome views.
DAVE and SUE WRITE, "I just wanted to let you know how much we loved staying at The Fire Place. The view was absolutely beautiful and the hot tub very relaxing. Even though Dave's not a fireman, we thought the decor was so neat and creative. It really adds to the condo. We appreciated all of the instructions and little signs throughout the condo, too. You've anticipated any questions that anyone might have. In addition, all of the cleaning supplies made cleaning up so easy. Everything was great; we wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for letting some non-firefighters use and enjoy your vacation home. Sincerely, Sue and Dave."
THE FIRE PLACE offers privacy while allowing access to many other venues of entertainment. Nearby is our favorite sports pub, THE FOX & HOUND (great pizza and beer!!!) Except for a small convenience store, there are no other commercial venues up there. The Fire Place is a one hour drive from Reno Airport. Other good skiing areas are 30-60 minutes away. A real treat is DAVID WALLY'S HOT SPRINGS SPA down on Hwy 50; a five star resort built around natural hot springs, pools, steam baths, sauna, message and a fabulous restaurant.
KITCHEN AMENITITES: dishwasher, microwave, crockpot, blender, glassware, dishes, cookware and utensils. Food is served on a kitchen bar. A bird feeder right outside the kitchen window lets you watch little and sometimes big critters, first hand. We have seen bears, racoons, squirrels and birds. Bring birdseed and a sense of adventure.
