Breathtaking Views is the top feature of The Fire Place. Nestled among tall pines and grand boulders, we overlook the south end of Lake Tahoe. This charming 1250 square foot townhome is decorated in FIREHOUSE THEME and just minutes away from 2 Heavenly ski lifts, BOULDER (ski lessons for kids) and STAGECOACH (ski across to the California side), a 7 minute drive down to lake level (Hwy 50) and casinos, restaurants and entertainment. We love families, sleep 4 in beds and you are welcome to put the kids on an air mattress or in the loft in sleeping bags.
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. Around the corner is our favorite sports pub, THE FOX & HOUND (great pizza and beer!!!) and a small convenience store, no other commercial venues up there. A one hour drive from Reno Airport, other good skiing areas are 30-60 minutes away. A real treat: DAVID WALLY'S HOT SPRINGS SPA, 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.

Map & Owner's Profile
The Fireplace, Awesome Views, Firehouse Decor & Ski Heavenly
Year Purchased: 1993
Why the Owner Chose Heavenly Valley
Most of all when I saw the view, I told the Captain that this was the place for us.
The breathtaking views always thrill us no matter how many times we see them. We fall in love with the place every time we come. Watching from our deck is a panorama of seasons, weather, nights, days and a variety of animals. It's really awesome. You actually can feel the tension leaving your body about the 3rd day.
The Unique Benefits at this Townhome
It's very private and quiet. No one can see into your place from any other place around. It is totally supplied with everything that you will need to be comfortable. The grounds around are very rugged and natural. It's beautiful.
Owner's Map of Heavenly Valley
Barbie and Jim Nellesen have owned this cabin since 1991. Jim is retired from a 33 year career as a Fire Captain on the Anaheim Fire Department. We raised our family vacationing in Tahoe and the kids have great memories. We come up twice a year now to spruce up the place. We got the inspiration to create the cabin with fire decor because of Jim's fire career. We sure do enjoy meeting all the wonderful people who come to stay at THE FIRE PLACE. That's the best part.

What a wonderful home! The pictures don't do justice to the incredible view, not only of the lake, but of the Gardnerville area to the East. We had a glorious time in your cozy, well equiped home! The reservation process and personal contact were also very nice and appreciated. We will definitely be back and hopefully get to stay longer than 2 nights. Thank you!
