Some vacation rental homes truly have it all, and Front and Center is definitely one of those homes! Front and Center boasts a fabulous location just up the street from two public beaches: Carnelian West, offering 500 feet of lake frontage, picnic tables and an adjacent shared pier at Gar Woods Restaurant, and Patton Landing, a three-acre, pebbly beach known as the north shore's paddle boarding headquarters, with available rentals and a gourmet coffeehouse. Conveniently located between Tahoe City and Kings Beach, this lovely home is ideally situated to take advantage of a plethora of shopping, dining, and outdoor adventure opportunities. This family home offers the perfect combination of warmth, spaciousness and entertainment features. Downstairs, the presence of a ping pong table, shuffleboard table, foosball table, 65' TV with speakers and a hot tub ensures there will never be a dull moment. Upstairs, a circular breakfast nook table beckons for a competitive game of cards, while the chef in the group can set a beautiful dining table for a more formal dinner. For those who love to grill, the large upper deck is the ideal space for barbecuing and lounging after a glorious day in the sun. When it is time to retire, the spacious primary suite upstairs, with access to the back deck for lazy star gazing and a work desk for checking emails, caters to every need. Downstairs, the kids will appreciate the bunk room with its own TV and a guest room with cozy linens. With a lovely setting and an abundance of amenities, Front and Center is the perfect vacation destination in and of itself!

Per the Ordinance: All exterior lights must be turned off that are not needed for safety or other outdoor use to the extent that such other outdoor use is not an unreasonable nuisance to neighbors.
Red Flag Warnings: Due to extreme fire danger, bonfires, charcoal barbecues and wood-burning fire pits are strictly prohibited. On Red Flag Warning Days, when fire hazards are especially dangerous, typically due to dry conditions and high winds, additional restrictions are imposed by the North Tahoe Fire Protection District and prohibited. You cannot use outdoor gas grills or gas fire pits during Red Flag Warnings. All outdoor fires are prohibited, both gas and wood. It is your responsibility to be informed of Red Flag Warnings. You will see signs on the front of all fire district stations, hear about it on the news, see it on social media and hear about it on the radio.
Winter Driving Many highways, access roads and/or driveways are steep in Tahoe/Truckee and may be icy in the winter. To ensure your safety, it is critical that during November 1st - April 30th brakes, windshield wipers, defroster, heater and exhaust system are in top condition. Tires need to be properly inflated and the tread must be in excellent condition. Always carry tire chains, even if driving an AWD/4WD vehicle. Make sure the chains are the proper size for your tires and are in working order. You may find valuable winter driving tips from the CHP here: https://bit.ly/3IKiY7n
Summer Patio Furniture Patio furniture is available for your use during summer months only. All outdoor tables, chairs and loungers are put into storage in the fall, in order to protect the furnishings from winter weather. Barbecue grills, however, do remain outside for your enjoyment.
Black bears are very common in this area and have become habituated to human food and garbage. Because bears no longer have a strong fear of humans, you may encounter bears during your spring, summer and fall stays. Feeding bears is illegal. Leaving food outside, trash accessible, or doors and windows unlocked is likely to cause significant property damage to homes and to vehicles. Please take a moment to learn how to be Bear Aware, so that we can continue to live in harmony with our wildlife.

Greetings Cliona,
We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay at Front and Center and hope we can welcome you back as our guests again soon. Thank you for staying with us in Lake Tahoe!
House was in an unbelievable location. We could walk to Garwoods which was a huge bonus if we wanted to pop by for a drink or walk the beach and pier outside.
House was perfect with a cool play room for the kids.

Greetings Tony,
We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay at Front and Center and loved the location. We hope to host you again in Lake Tahoe in the future.
My family and I stayed here over the 4th and enjoyed how quiet the neighborhood was as well as the quick 2 minute walk to Garwoods. The house was very clean and had a well stocked kitchen. The large deck was great for evening chilling amongst the trees.
The place was beautiful, had plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably. Walking distance to the lake and a couple restaurants. We really didn’t appreciate the bullet that was shot in the window from the inside. Then we had someone come by wanting to fix it. Also, the couch in the master bedroom had tons of dog hair all over it. Other than that really great place!

Thank you for choosing Front and Center! We are thrilled to hear that you loved the home and the location. For the sake of future renters, we do want to clarify that the chip/hole in the window was not a bullet hole. It was caused by the end of a broom, when our cleaner accidentally bumped the window. It was fixed shortly after the incident. Additionally, we appreciate the feedback on our cleaning service and have reviewed this item with our clean teams. Thank you for taking the time to let us know, so that we can ensure future renters arrive to a spotless home that meets our luxury standards. Again, we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay, and we look forward to hosting you again!
We loved staying here! It had all the amenities we needed for our family. Plenty of space, nice linens, a well-supplied kitchen, and fast WiFi. Hot tub was wonderful after a long day in the snow. TVs in every room to keep all guests occupied. We had another family stay with us for a few days and never felt cramped in the house. Only a short walk to Garwoods for food and drinks!
Overall we enjoyed our stay at this property. The location to 2 dog beaches within walking distance was very convenient. The house was super clean with new bedding. The layout of the house is great as well. This has to be the most well-equipped house we've ever rented. The kitchen has everything you need. The patio deck was very nice to eat out on or to lay and relax on the lounge chairs. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. Please note that this house does not have air conditioning. During our stay the temp in Tahoe averaged at a high of 85+ to a low of 55 degrees. It got pretty warm in the house from about 2pm - 10pm, especially the upstairs (living room, kitchen, master). They had fans available which helped a bit but the thermostat read between 82 - 85 degrees. Many places in Tahoe do not have central AC but it's just something you should be aware of. No house is perfect but the screen door for the living room sliding glass door was broken and the patio light was out.

Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy you had a lovely time at Front and Center. Also, we appreciate you bringing to our attention the screen door and patio light. Those items have been fixed. And yes, it is quite warm up here! We do get 2-3 week heat waves in the summer and then it is cool, so very few houses do have AC. Please let us know if in the future you are uncomfortably so, and we will be happy to bring over a portable AC unit that vents through the window for the bedrooms. :) We hope to host you again sometime in the future. Jen @ TLUXP
We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend!! Comfortable bedding, furniture, plenty of cook ware, loved the hot tub and deck! Walkable to the lake and Gar Woods. Cannot recommend enough!
We rented this house for spring break so that our family can enjoy our last ski trip before the season ends. The house was very clean, had great light, was close to the lake, and in a quiet neighborhood. I would highly recommend this house to anyone. You won’t be disappointed.
We loved our stay at this beautiful, well appointed home. We relaxed and watched movies, we skied, we cooked great meals, we hiked, we hot tubbed and had a great time playing shuffle board.
