Dog-friendly home w/private hot tub + close proximity to awesome attractions

You will not find a cozier vacation home in all of South Lake Tahoe! This three-bedroom, two-bath retreat features an outdoor hot tub, comfortable furnishings, and room for the whole family! Surrounded by tall trees, this home is in quiet, well-located neighborhood, just minutes from the Tahoe Keys Marina, Thomas F Regan Memorial Beach, the Bijou Golf Course, and only six miles from Heavenly Mountain Resort. Inside, the living room combines neutral color tones, rich wood accents, and pops of color from snuggly throws and plush pillows. While the snow falls down outside, you'll be toasty warm sitting in the cozy living room, with your hands wrapped around a mug of cocoa - or maybe a hot buttered rum. The flat screen dable TV also has a DVD player and even a DVD library. There's also WiFi, so you can check your email and even spend sometime pinning images from your amazing Lake Tahoe trip. The dining room table seats four, but don't worry, there are extra spots right at the nearby breakfast bar. The kitchen is large, bright, and well-stocked, giving you room to create epic vacation meals like a big pot of pumpkin chicken chili or just heat up leftover from the previous night's dinner out in South Lake Tahoe. Outside in the backyard, in addition to the hot tub, there's a gas grill for family cookouts, and plenty of room for kids to play. Since this home is dog friendly (for a small nightly fee), the fenced yard is also well-suited for your furry, four-legged companions to explore. All on one level, this home's three bedrooms will make everyone feel right at home when it's time to turn in at night. There's a room with a queen bed, one with a full sized bed, and the third bedroom that has two twin beds for the kids. All three rooms feature comfortable bedding and nice furnishings. In addition, there's also a cozy Murphy bed, if needed. With its three bedrooms, this home will accommodate up to eight guests. Both full bathrooms have walk-in showers and there's even a washer and dryer for keeping everyone in clean clothes while on vacation. From the house, it's only a three mile drive right to all the fun in downtown South Lake Tahoe. Those wanting to practice their swings can head to the Bijou Golf Course, which is only a 10 minute drive away. In addition to golfing, there are a number of public beaches on the shore of Lake Tahoe, offering a spot for scenic picnics, beachcombing, or just relaxing along the shore. There are also opportunities for fishing, water skiing, and even taking a picturesque cruise around the lake. Right along scenic US Route 50, you'll find plenty of restaurants and shops to explore. When the weather's cold and snowy outside, you can order up heaping plates of Chicken Marsala and Beef Stroganoff at Baumann's Swiss Chalet or on a sunny day, you may opt for Nigiri and Maki at Samurai Sushi. No matter what time of year, it's easy to work up an appetite here - paddleboarding on the lake, rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, and parasailing to name just a few of the local activities! Of course, in winter you'll want to make the short 15 minute drive to Heavenly Mountain Resort. Hit the slopes for world-class skiing and snowboarding, as well as tubing and back country, cross-country skiing. And in summer, you can take a breathtaking 2.4 mile gondola ride across the clear blue Tahoe sky. A year-round destination, South Lake Tahoe has something for everyone - golfers, skiers, hikers, foodies, even those who just want to sleep in and relax at this comfortable, cozy vacation home!
