Location: Private Homes, Lakeview, Incline Village, Incline Village NV, Lake Tahoe Nevada, Nevada, USA (Easiest All-Season Access To Ski Areas and Beaches)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 4 Baths (Sleeps 10-12)
Freshly remodeled and updated 3,500 square-foot Incline Village home, right across the highway from Lake Tahoe, and convenient to ski areas at Northstar, Diamond Peak (10 minutes!), and Mt. Rose—with Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, and Homewood not far away (about half an hour, with average traffic). The home, at the intersection of Highway 28 and Lakeshore Drive on the western edge of Incline Village, sleeps ten people in beds (plus a couple more, if our futons are OK with you) and boasts wireless Internet and many other amenities to make for a perfect vacation. Of particular interest are the three large gathering spaces: the great room, the living room, and the "club" room, or family room--plus the game-room/family suite in a separate room at the back of the garage. Everybody gets a space in this house!
• Large living room with filtered lake views, gas fireplace, seating area, ping-pong, and foosball
• Big family room with gas fireplace, wide screen TV with DVD/VCR, card table, and lots of books and videos
• Attached game room/family suite with pool table, large TV/DVD, dart board, queen bed and bunk bed, and full bath—perfect for a fourth couple, or as a teenager retreat
• New, fully equipped skylit kitchen with granite counters and eating bar adjoining a large dining-entertaining area to make a “great room” that’s perfect for entertaining—and featuring a cozy wood stove and easy access to the deck
• Custom, handmade dining table seats eight, with five more seats at the kitchen bar; comfortable leather chairs encourage long evenings of conversation, cards, music—whatever suits your fancy
• Lake-view deck with large hot tub and barbecue
• Master suite with deluxe king bed, TV/DVD, and spacious private bath with twin sinks—plus easy access to the deck and hot tub
• Queen bedroom and twin bedroom, with a full bath to share
• Garage parking for one car, plus off-street parking for at least three more
• Mud room with ski and snowboard racks
• Big lawn area in front for Frisbee, croquet, playing catch—all those things you do on a lawn!
• Quiet, unobtrusive, on-site caretaker in a studio apartment off the garage: he will keep the driveway cleared of snow in winter, and help you with anything you may need related to the house and its features
Incline Village is an ideal vacation destination, especially in winter:
HIT THE SLOPES!
The house is within a half hour or so (depending on weather and traffic) of all the major north shore ski areas: Squaw Valley, Alpine, Northstar, Homewood, Mount Rose. There is an excellent sledding area up the Mount Rose highway (which runs to Reno, about 45 minutes); it’s on your left, right near the summit, and takes about 15 minutes to get to. This is also a staging area for snowmobiles (across the highway on the right, away from the sleds—so bring ’em if you got ’em). Finally, don’t overlook our own backyard resort, Diamond Peak. It’s about 10 minutes, door-to-door, from our house, down 28 a couple of miles, at Country Club Drive. It has excellent, albeit not many, runs, with good variety (groomers, bumps, trees, terrain park) for all skill levels, including expert (great on a powder day). It’s rarely crowded, and there’s a high-speed quad to the top, so we typically get more “vert” in a day there than at other places, even Squaw, since lines are never long. The terrain park is a good one, say our snowboarders. Diamond Peak is also quite inexpensive, especially compared with the large resorts. Lake views from the intermediate-level ridge run and the mountain café are truly fantastic, maybe unrivalled. Beginner instruction can be found at all areas, including Diamond Peak, but is especially good at Tahoe Donner, outside Truckee, about 45 minutes from the house. They have broad, beginner/intermediate slopes and a nice terrain park; it’s inexpensive, and almost never crowded.
GOOD EATS!
Austin's, on Country Club and not far from our house, is a favorite local place for down-home cooking and jumbo cocktails. Be sure to make reservations, as it's often crowded with locals (always a good sign). Across the street from Austin's, the Hyatt at Incline has a restaurant on the water, Lone Eagle Grill, that is beautiful (think mountain-lodge deluxe), and the food is fine. It’s down Lakeshore Drive, about a mile and a half from the house. If you want to sit on their outside terrace on a sunny afternoon, plan to get there early. Nearby Kings Beach features Caliente! an excellent, neo-New-Mexico restaurant, with unique, really delicious food (the sopapillas for dessert are incredible). Gar Woods in Carnelian Bay is probably the best--and for sure the most fun--restaurant on the north shore, about 20 minutes' drive from the house, and well worth it. In the same area, Spindleshanks is also good, and a bit closer. The Cabin in Kings Beach is good for breakfast. There is only one good pizza place in Incline (in our opinion) and that’s Mofo’s, in Christmas Tree Village center, on your left, heading for Raley’s.
SCREEN TIME
For movies, you can either go to Incline, Kings Beach, or Tahoe City for funky, but charming little theaters. (Kings Beach only takes cash, so be prepared.) There’s limited DVD rental in Incline at Raley's, and a big-screen TV at the house. All three of our TVs have DVD players, and we keep a couple dozen movies in stock at all times.
NIGHTLIFE
Crystal Bay, on the Nevada side about four miles form our house, is home to several nightclubs and casinos, and then there's the Hyatt down the road a couple of miles. It's really not our thing, so we leave it to others to describe. Suffice to say, all these establishments are near our house, and TART, the free transit service, stops right in front of our home.
