About this property

Hidden Gem 4-bedroom house in South Lake Tahoe near the beach, and Heavenly.

Welcome to the Hidden Gem. We offer a vintage pac man machine, a claw foot tub on the deck with hot/cold water for a clean soak under the stars. A triple bunk bed is great for families too. This house can accommodate 8 adults and up to 3 kids 13 and under. Inspired by the cobalt, periwinkle, lapis, and turquoise of Lake Tahoe’s water. Named after this rich geography known for treasure hunting, from the gold and silver rush, to the casinos at Stateline.
This house has been completely updated and remodeled. You’ll find the location convenient to all of your needs. Near to beach, ski, stateline entertainment, restaurants, Bijou park, stores, and the new recreation center. We have strived to make your comfort a priority.
This house is luxurious for couples with a romantic fireplace, family friendly or perfect for groups of friends, family reunions, or retreats.
Most beds have USB ports. We have a hidden bookshelf door, streaming services, WiFi, a deck, fireplace, laundry room, fully equipped kitchen, electric fireplace, and a two car garage.
With four bedrooms featuring one king bed, three queen beds, and a triple bunk bed.

This house features a laundry room and pantry.
A cozy, modern living room with a fireplace, and plush sofa bed offers extra sleeping options for everyone. This comfortable and convenient house provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere where guests can truly feel at home. Relax on the deck for a view of the mountain, grill, soak in the tub. The beach is a mile away, grocery store around the corner, the casinos are 3 miles away, and Heavenly is two stop lights away. Great location! This house also has a garage for parking.

We loved the Hidden Gem! Host was super friendly and communicated throughout the whole process & stay. It was a little HOT the first few days we were there and while there was no AC, host did provide an extra fan which helped. Overall, the house was super clean, neat and organized. Our family enjoyed our stay at the hidden gem!

This property accommodated our large group of 6 adults, 2 teens, and 5 kids. It was nice to have plenty of room for our 3 vehicles. Everything was clean and the host was responsive and accommodating. We got good use out of the kitchen and it was convenient to have laundry available. There was no AC so it got a little warm, but some fans were provided and opening the windows in the evening helped cool the house down.

About the host

Hosted by Chelsea

Host profile image
I’m from the oldest town in Nevada. I’ve lived in Tahoe since 1995, my grandparents came here in the 1950’s. I love skiing, hiking, and biking. And I love telling people about the beauty of Tahoe.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is in the heart of Tahoe. You’ll love the scene at Reagan beach winter or summer. And a quick drive to Heavenly ski resort. Safeway is at the end of the street. And it’s ten minutes from casinos at Stateline.

What makes this property unique

The Hidden Gem house is made for families or small groups of people traveling together. The garage is wonderful in the winter when there’s snow. The vintage pac man machine will take you back to the 80’s. And the electric fireplace will warm you up in the winter after getting off the mountain.
