About this property

Quintessential Tahoe w/ Private Beach, Max Occ 4 adults 2 children

The Little Stone House, located in the small gated community of Elk Point, in Zephyr Cove, NV, was built in 1927 with granite from the excavation of nearby Cave Rock Tunnel. Although it retains all the charm of a 1920s cabin, this mountain retreat was completely remodeled in 2008 with modern amenities and won Mountain Home Magazine’s “Best Historic Preservation” award.
Winter or summer, the Little Stone House is comfortable and inviting. The beautiful stone fireplace makes the cozy living room so relaxing after your day on the slopes. In the warmer months, this charming house provides several outdoor spaces to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms – one with a large marble shower, and the other with the original clawfoot bathtub which will take you back to a simpler time as you soak and look out the skylight above. The sofa sleeper in the loft is the perfect place for the kids to sleep since there is no privacy. A small deck off the king bedroom is a relaxing spot for your morning coffee. There is also a half bathroom downstairs. The beautifully remodeled and fully equipped kitchen features marble counters and a copper farm sink, and the dining room comfortably seats six. The back deck, shaded by tall pines, has a filtered view of the lake, and the outdoor pergola with a dining table that seats eight.
The Elk Point community has a large private beach, which you can reach by car or a five-minute walk. The beach features a roped swim area with an anchored swim and dive platform, a beach volleyball court and horseshoe pit. Double and single kayaks, stand up paddle board, bikes, water toys, sunshades and several sizes of life jackets are available for your use.

Beautiful Rustic Charm
We really enjoyed our stay in The Little Stone House. So much history in such a beautiful setting. The location was perfect! The house is well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Nancy was a pleasure to work with. She provided an abundance of information not only about the home, but the surrounding area (best local restaurants and things to do). We'd love to return in the summer to take advantage of the lake.

Loved it!
EVERYTHING is exactly as advertised. Nancy is such a pleasure to work with and she has thought of everything. The private beach is a huge plus - no fighting the crowds! The location is close to all the activities and food and amenities. We will definitely be back. We already miss our morning coffee and afternoon naps on the deck.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy G

Host profile image
My husband and I have lived in the area our entire lives. We are managing and maintaining this property ourselves in order to provide you a quality service. Nancy is an avid hiker and has hiked the Tahoe Rim Trail thirteen times as well as most other trails in the area and would love to help you with your hiking decisions.

Why they chose this property

Because we grew up in the area and we are not young, we remember Tahoe when it was quieter and slower. Entering the gates to Elk Point is like going back to our youth. The house was built in the 1920s with granite from the excavation of the original Cave Rock Tunnel. The previous owners went to great lengths to give you the old feel with all the modern conveniences. It won the Mountain Home Magazine's "Historic Preservation Award" in 2010. We have fallen in love with the house and the community.

What makes this property unique

Beach, hiking and biking trails without getting in a car. Beach restaurant and bar within walking distance. Full service grocery store less than a mile and you never have to get on the highway. Small quiet community. The beach is incredible and rarely crowded. There is a beach volleyball court, a horseshoe pit and kayaks at the beach. Edgewood Golf Course, Harvey's outdoor theater, Heavenly Valley Ski Resort, Tahoe Rim Trail, Flume Trail, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, MS Dixie, winter snowmobiling, sledding, ice skating the Stateline casinos are all very close. Great house, great beach and great location.
