For larger groups this unique vacation-accommodation provides a place to be together to cook, eat, hot tub, play, and meet.
It's on the nature end of town away from motel row and constant traffic of the Hwy 50 corridor. Yet it is just minutes to Lake Tahoe beaches, Heavenly, Sierra-at-Tahoe, Harveys, Harrah's, Horizon, Ceasar's Casinos, skiing, snowboarding and Emerald Bay, and all Lake Tahoe activities.
Camp Richardson is just a few minutes away, with boat, ski and bike rental. Come home to enjoy a modern stainless steel appliance kitchen, big convertible dining area, recreation room and pool table, home theater and group room with free movies, and hot tub in a privacy fenced yard.
