About the host
Hosted by Susan
About us? We are an active outdoor family who loves skiing, snow boarding, mountain biking, and hiking.
Why they chose this property
Our family of four loves to play in Tahoe. After years of driving back and forth every week, we decided to purchase a home in Tahoe and make it family-friendly to create a comfortable retreat for building precious family memories. When looking for a house, we first selected this neighborhood because of its fabulous location. Then, we patiently waited for a house to come on the market. Very few homes in this area come up for sale. I can see why.
What makes this property unique
When we saw this house, it was love at first sight. The floor plan was perfect for us. The way the living spaces extend outside was exactly what we wanted. Plus, we loved the central location and easy access to the town and the great outdoors. The home has many special touches, including natural lighting, closet built-ins, heated floor tile in the master bath, and sliding shelves in the kitchen cabinets.
