About the host
Hosted by Mark Wagoner
I was born and raised in Southern California. My family purchased property in this area in 1952 and built a summer home. Growing up, we spent every summer up at the Lake. My dad would drive us up when school ended and come and get us in early September. I worked at Globin's Inn (Al Tahoe) for several years during summer and worked with my grandfather at the Happy Homestead Cemetary where he was the maintenance supervisor. I learned to ski at Heavenly Valley and remember when there was only a rope tow at the end of Ski Run Blvd. My family sold their home in 2004 but I never lost my desire to have my own place and continue to enjoy this beautiful area.
Why they chose this property
I wanted it to be towards Emerald Bay as that is where I spent my summers and it has the most to offer relative to sightseeing and recreation at Tahoe. Tahoe is a spiritual place to me, and having my own place gives me a part of this wonderful setting.
What makes this property unique
This unit and its location is very unique. From the front door or the back porch you can walk into the woods or bike ride or walk to the beaches nearby. Restaurants are very close, again in walking distance, along with other stores and services. In winter, you are well situated to ski at a number of venues: Heavenly, Kirkwood, Squaw, and Homewood are all within reasonable distances from this location. You can snow shoe or cross country ski right outside the door.
I hope you will enjoy all these benefits and even more whether you stay at my location or somewhere else.
