It is called "STONEHENGE"... this spectacular, prize-winning executive home on Lake Tahoe's Southshore. To reach the front door one must enter into a great stone cavern formed by massive granite boulders under a sod roof. The end of the fifty by thirty-five foot living room is formed by a single stone.

In the center of this great room lies another boulder and a mossy trout pond. This brings indoors the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, patios, and lawns. Two gigantic fireplaces rise and pass through the room's twenty-three foot ceiling. Overlooking all of this are two sweeping, curved balconies which provide additional views of the mountain peaks and green forests that have made the Tahoe Basin world famous.

Each bedroom is decorated with a unique and distinctive decor; the Greek Myth room, Timberline room, Tyrolean room, Mediterranean room, and the Wildlife room. The unusual Austrian-styled "Stube" has its own fireplace and provides a separate hideaway for games or intimate conversation.

Other features include a grand piano, a hot tub, and a library filled with books and memorabilia gathered in travels to distant parts of the world. Mountain climbers who sometimes scale the boulders near "STONEHENGE" acclaim its distinctive setting; intimate and blending with the environment; isolated, yet only five minutes from the center of town; elegantly styled but with a homespun sort of warmth and comfort.

Pet Friendly ... we love dogs & children, so bring the whole family and enjoy!

                    Wow. This property is so cool. I agree with another reviewer who said the pictures don't do it justice! The house is the most unique house I've ever been in--each room has its own character, and there's a giant boulder and stream running right through the middle! But also, it's so comfortable and relaxing--the huge windows let in light from all sides, the kitchen is well-equipped, the beds extremely comfortable. My husband and I stayed for two nights and wished we could stay for another week or more. The vistas are gorgeous. You can sit and have breakfast watching bunnies and blue jays darting about in the yard or have a glass of wine in the hottub while stargazing. Because the windows at the back of the house all face the mountains, it feels extra secluded. We want to come back as soon as possible and share the experience with friends--it's a perfect place to have big dinner parties outside as the sun sets over the mountains.

                    Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

                    Owner response: Dear Lexa. I am very happy you enjoyed your stay at Stonehenge.Thank you for letting me know. Please come again. ROSMARIE

                    This house was perfect for our group. It's in the perfect location, off the beaten path yet close to skiing and the lake. And it's built around giant boulders that add to the mountain house experience -- it's probably the coolest place we have ever stayed, and we can't stop talking about it! The huge yet cozy house has all the amenities one could want, including a hot tub to sit in and stargaze from. I wish we never had to leave! It's worth a stay for the views alone.

                    I love Stonehenge! This special house is perfect for a getaway with friends or wedding parties, any group that wants to stay together but enjoy their privacy -- the house is spacious and relaxing. The views are unsurpassed, the Sierra and Desolation Wilderness are just outside the door. And the house is built around and amongst boulders--it's unique, and my friends who have stayed here can't stop talking about it. Stonehenge has all amenities, and plenty of room--you'll feel tucked away, but in comfort and luxury. It's close to everything that South Lake Tahoe has to offer, but its location is quiet and perfect for stargazing from the hot tub. Stonehenge is truly magnificent and an unforgettable experience--you won't find any place like it!

                    Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

                    My friends and I rented Stonehenge for a winter ski weekend. We absolutely loved its character, views, and amenities. It was clearly built with a lot of love, and every detail (and oh my, there are many details!) succeeds in making it a warm and welcoming place to stay. The views are incredible, and we spent far too long in the hot tub, identifying various constellations in the clear, starry mountain sky. We hope to return for another adventure sometime!

We are still in awe and have not been able to stop telling our friends what an incredible vacation we had in Lake Tahoe. We are planning to make this an annual family affair. Gary and the Gang

                    The pictures and descriptions of this home do not do it justice! From the moment you enter the Boulder faced entrance your eyes and imagination will fill you with envy as you take in the home. Windows in all directions let the mountains and landscaping complete the picture. From dawn to dusk we saw marmots, rabbits, squirrels, chipmonks and birds galore. The floor plan allows for groups and privacy.The bedrooms and baths are good sized and comfy. Radiant floor heat, ample linens and supplies in each. This is a one of a kind house and we feel honored to have stayed here.

                    Owner response: Thank you, Steve for your glowing report on your impressions of Stonehenge!!! The fact that we built it ourselves makes your descriptions especially gratifying. We never really thought, when in the design and construction, that others, like yourself would find it so pleasing. We are most appreciative .please come back again rosmarie

                    A very unusual property from the cave entrance to the giant boulders inside of the home to the gorgeous mountain setting - Stonehenge has it all!! We stayed several nights and woke each morning feeling as if we were the only people visiting Tahoe. The setting is very private with fantastic mountain views from every window. The seating areas on many levels allow you to spread out and take it all in. The various rooms (wine room, Greek bedroom, fur bedroom) add to the uniqueness of this home. The owners obviously crafted a most unique and comfortable home. We were provided with all the amenities necessary to enjoy a most relaxing stay. We will return again to Stonehenge as we felt we had truly stayed in the High Sierra in this home.

                    WOW!! Unique just begins to describe this mountain home, literally built around giant boulders. Inside and out we found opportunities to relax, entertain and take in the breathtaking views. Close to town, with the feeling that you are the only one for miles. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, Stonehenge is the ticket. Very enjoyable.

                    We brought a party of 4 from across the country to stay at Stonehenge and host a writer's reception. The house is incredible! There is something to look at in every room -- you'll exploring the house for hours, if you can take your eyes off spectacular views of Echo Summit and the Desolation Wilderness. The windows along the back side of the house look out onto boulders, mountains, and forest, all the beauty of Tahoe without the tourists or the casinos (which are only a 15-minute drive away). There is a great outdoor area with picnic seating and a jacuzzi, and plenty of room to host a gathering or a large group of guests. It would be hard to find a better view on this end of town. In fact, we never wanted to leave the house! The most remarkable part: The house was built around gigantic boulders that sit in the middle of the living room, and a stream runs inside, along the base of the boulders. It is truly jaw-dropping, and is part of the reason we will return. It feels like a real Tahoe cabin, but on a much grander, wilder scale. It is fully furnished, has everything you could ask for, and is centrally located but doesn't feel like it. Staying here is worth every penny. Highly recommended!

                    Owner response: Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind review. We look forward to seeing you again at Stonehenge.
