BEAR HAVEN is the perfect home to gather family and friends for your year-round fun and wildlife viewing. Play ping-pong or pool in the large Game Room (complete with plumbed bar and entertainment area) and soak in your own professionally serviced hot tub without leaving the house! A fantastic location in the Chamberlands area of Homewood means we have skiing at the end of the road at Homewood Mountain Resort in Winter, a private beach/pool/tennis on the Lake in Summer including the Baby Beach, Main Beach with floats, free paddle boats and professional lifeguards! Great hiking, biking in Spring, Summer and Fall. An easy walk to Obexer's market and marina or Old Tahoe Cafe. Summer activites at Homewood Mountain Resort usually include concerts, music, art and craft shows as well as The Farmers Market.


Next to open space! Bear Haven is located on a quiet, relatively flat street one block from the Lake and close to all the activities you would need for your vacation. Easy bike ride to the beach, Tahoma, Sugar Pine State Park, Homewood or Sunnyside. Huge uncrowded forest, creeks, Quail Lake and trails directly behind our three level rustic A-frame hideaway(complete with a trail map)! These trails were the site of the Olympic Trails Winter Nordic Recreation Site for the 1960 Squaw Valley Olympics!

We'll send you a map to hike, snowshoe, mountain bike or cross country ski from the cabin. You can even ski home into the backyard in Winter from Homewood Mountain Resort! Come and park your car and enjoy all that this neighborhood has to offer. There is even a peak of Lake Tahoe and the shore beyond!

This home is well-known for all of the fun features - especially a large GAME ROOM with pool table, ping pong table, TV/VCR/DVD, video games, CD player, fireplace, wet bar and lots of extras. If you need to work on vacation, we have complimentary wireless internet! Enjoy the private hot tub on one of the several decks after your active day and observe the abundant wildlife that the Westshore is famous for. There is a good reason that we call it 'Bear Haven'! The house backs to Open Space with a great network of trails to hike or mountain bike. Close proximity to the Westshore Bike Path allows you to explore north to Tahoe City (and beyond) or south to Sugar Pine State Park.

In Winter, Homewood Mountain Resort is the most wonderful place to ski, especially for families, with incredible lake views and is so spacious, even weekends are uncrowded! Groomed X-country trails and a sledding hill are a few miles south at Sugar Pine State Park.

Bear Haven is a member of both the famous Chamberlands Membership Only Beach Club as well as the Recreation Association with pool and tennis (June 19-Sept 6). Launch your own boat close by at Obexer's Homewood Marina, and tie up at Chamberlands for the day! Complimentary paddle boats are great fun for the family at the Chamberlands private beach.
