About this property

Award-winning Alpine Lodge; Romantic Executive Estate

Garnered most votes for BEST DESIGNED HOME IN N. CALIFORNIA, from the California Chapter of American Institute of Building Design, FOR 2009.

This ROMANTIC Award Winning North Lake Tahoe EXECUTIVE RETREAT is for those who desire themselves and their family & friends to be in a palatial and delightfully splendid home both inside and outdoors! Imagine immersing yourself in all of the finest that life has to offer and you'll find yourself in our home. . . .

We are within 2 MINUTES TO A BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN SANDY BEACH that's great for the kids! The shallow water makes it warmer & safer than other areas around the lake.We are WITHIN 20 MINUTES OF virtually EVERYTHING!!! All snow sports - motorized and human powered, restaurants and gaming, and the Truckee-Tahoe Airport (45 minutes from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport). NORTHSTAR - THE BEST FAMILY SKI RESORT IN TAHOE - IS LESS THAN 9 MILES AWAY! The REGIONAL PARK is just a few minute's walk away, on a trial through the woods. It's great for kids & adults! Tennis (lighted), Handball, Soccer, Baseball, Mtn. Biking, hiking, par course, disk golf & BBQ's. In the winter, there is cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling & sledding.

SPACIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL! Our *2,850+/- sq. ft. lake-view, 3 bedroom/3 bath and loft home is available FOR THOSE WHO DESIRE ONLY THE BEST FOR THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!
(SPECIAL NOTE: THE GARAGE, OFFICE (Bedroom #4), AND STUDIO QUARTERS ARE NOT PART OF THE RENTAL, AND ARE NOT REFLECTED IN THE SQ.FT. CALCULATIONS OF THE HOME, AS LISTED ABOVE. The studio quarters are usually occupied by the owner or a tenant and has a separate entrance to the left of the garage. There are no common walls to the main part of the house guests stay in.
An overview of the home provides 2 master suites (One master has a king bed with a Jacuzzi tub having filtered lake views, One master has a queen bed); the 3rd. bedroom has a full size bed, with a claw-foot tub in the bathroom. Each bedroom has its own attached bathroom. The loft has a reading nook which is very comfortable, extra long & wide. There is another special bed in the loft, as well, which sleeps someone 5'-7' and smaller.

There are 2 touch start beautifully romantic deer-creek green slate fireplaces with full hearths and rock surrounds.
Throughout the home there exists various hand-crafted furniture & a log bed, all designed and built by the owner.

The home's GOURMET KITCHEN is a cook's delight, replete with 6 burner stove-top, spice drawer (with all the spices), oven bank with warming drawer, dedicated wine storage, spalted maple cabinets, granite counter tops, stainless-steel appliances, pullout pantry and recycle drawers. Our home is WELL STOCKED WITH spices, sweeteners, teas, baking goods & pans, flour, cooking oil, Ziploc bags, etc - VIRTUALLY ALL THE INCIDENTALS!

We know your vacation is precious, so we courteously supply the small things - SAVING YOU TIME - so you can enjoy being with your family and friends, instead of running around doing errands!

Log accents abound throughout the home; most logs are harvested directly from the site, complimenting the vertical grain Doug-Fir and Peach travertine floors. High-Def TV w/DVD, (no cable or satellite). Our wifi (I am told) is the best AT&T offers in our area. The service is adequate, unless you have several users all surfing the internet and want to do video games, then it can't handle the load, as we are at the end of the service line.

We offer our home to those who can and will appreciate it, while caring for it in the spirit of how we designed and built it. This is a SHOE-FREE, SMOKE-FREE, DRUG-FREE & PET-FREE HOME. (NO EXCEPTIONS) means just that. Don't ask. I have allergies.

Beautiful home in a great location!

What an absolutely beautiful home! The owner, David, was very responsive and helpful in providing suggestions on restaurants and activities. It was an unusually hot week in Lake Tahoe and we didn’t realize the home didn’t have air conditioning, but with the windows open at night and a couple fans, it all worked out! The outdoor deck was perfect for bbq and family games. The nearby beaches, shopping and restaurants were great. We enjoyed our stay!

Amazing Home

This was an incredible home in Lake Tahoe. The floor plan was open and offered gorgeous windows and sliding glass doors to take in the beautiful scenery. It was so peaceful to wake up in the morning with a fire place in the master suite looking out to bright clear blue skies. The home had a gourmet kitchen and had all of the cookware anyone could need. The owner had spices, flour, tea etc. for us to use. It was great to not have to stop and pick up these items. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful.

Awesome House

We had a great time at this beautiful Tahoe cabin style home. The pictures are accurate. Once there our preference was to primarily stay in, cook and play games with the kids/grand kids. It was a blessing to get the kids away from cable TV, video games and such. Our family spent hours playing table games which I would say the teenagers enjoyed as much or more than the adults. They talk about what a joy it was as do we. The kitchen is well appointed and stocked. David provided a great orientation to his home. I recommend this rental to anyone that appreciates and respects a well designed and clean place to stay.

Amazing and welcoming!

We loved David’s house. It’s gorgeously rustic and welcoming. The kitchen was open and well equipped, and allowed multiple cooks to prepare food simultaneously while socializing with others nearby. There was ample space for everyone to spread out as well in the privacy of bedrooms/loft. A huge plus also is that the house is located really close to a network for park trails, so parts of our party enjoyed hikes with amazing views of the lake. To top it all, David was very hospitable. When he learned that we were coffee lovers, he brought a grinder, beans and french press for us to use. He also shoveled the driveway early in the morning when it snowed and even shared his boot warmer with us after our skiing/snowboarding. We are looking forward to returning and staying again in the future!

I want to make this my second home!

Words, and to an extent pictures, can't convey how beautiful this home truly is. If you appreciate good design and fine touches, this is the perfect retreat for bringing loved ones together. The open floor plan is perfect for bringing everyone together for meals. The kitchen with its Viking range is a foodies playground. I thoroughly enjoyed making pancakes, bacon, and eggs on the griddle. The decor really added to the ambience of being somewhere in the woods, yet home away from home. The fireplace(s) were perfect for keeping us toasty during the snowy stay. All of the amenities and made this place the equivalent of a luxury 5 star hotel suite. Best of all, the home has toys to entertain three toddlers for the entire stay. Even a playhouse with slide inside! David, the owner, also spend almost a whole day shoveling snow/ice out of the driveway when we were stuck. One might complain about the lack of an up-to-date entertainment system (no blue-ray, HD big screen). But if you want a real retreat and some quality time with people, I can see the reasoning for staying low tech. Although he does have wifi. The only real complaint I have is in how slippery that top stair to the loft is. Even though he warned us multiple times in person and in writing, I still managed to slip not once, but twice, even while holding the handrail. So seriously heed the words of caution. Despite that, I look forward to a time in the future when I can return for another stay.

Misinformation in the Property Listing

Unfortunately there are many misleading or factually incorrect details in the listing that have led us to rate this property as we have. First, the listing states the property has a hot tub - it does not. The master bath has an outdated jacuzzi tub, not a hot tub (which we were relying on for a winter ski trip). The listing states that onsite parking would include a garage, but later caveats that certain areas of the house are not included in the rental. This includes a studio that is attached to the house, not separate, where a tenant currently lives. If there is going to be another person living in the SAME house, it should be fully disclosed, up front. The listing also states that wi-fi will be available in every room; when we first arrived the owner warned it could be spotty, but at best one person was able to get internet at a tim. We were forced to use hot spots and go out to coffee shops to get service.There are a number of other points we could mention about the house - notably that it is clearly not a rental property - the "main floor bedroom" had an old, worn-down and ripped bedspread and the owner's personal items, photographs, belongings in cabinets and open spaces. There were only 4 dining chairs despite the listing stating there were kitchen/dining accommodations for 7; we had to move broken chairs from the third floor to seat our party at the dinner table. The bathrooms had used bars of soap and nearly depleted shampoo - I wound up buying my own at CVS.

Great views and home in Tahoe Vista

The home and David (builder/owner) were both amazing! Once we figured out that the downstairs bedroom in floor plan on listing was actually the office that was identified elsewhere as not part of rental we were able to comfortably fit myself and wife in master and baby in adjacent room with crib (owner had pack & play, toys, bath toys and indoor toddler slide for kids). Master has amazing bath with large tub and large glass shower with steam feature. Nanny in downstairs BR w/ensuite and 17 year old and 12 year old comfortable in amazing loft over kitchen/great room with built ins. Internet everywhere in Tahoe Vista is slow. We will be back to water plants... Thank you Dave for great restaurant suggestions as well. :)

a memorable trip to Lake Tahoe

The house is a comfortable place to spend our winter vacation in Lake Tahoe. It is clean and convenient to shopping and ski area. I believe that the view would be even better in summer. We still have some lake view on some clear winter days. The owner is very helpful. We couldn't survive the biggest snowstorm of last two decades without his tips and help. overall, it is an great place to come back in the future.

Our stay in COVID

Here are the Pros: it’s a beautifully designed home with incredible woodwork throughout the home. The Master bathroom has a lovely jacuzzi and steam shower. The Kitchen was well supplied and an Outdoor deck was a nice to have. The Washer and dryer were a plus too. We didn’t mind the No shoe rule as it helped to keep the house clean. David is extremely available via text message and seen throughout the property for immediate questions and needs. The Cons: the Owner lives on the property though this is not in the listing. Though it may say this in the rental agreement, this should be mentioned on the listing when filtering for an entire place. The WiFi is acceptable for 1 person if you have video calls or want to stream. There are no curtains to keep out sunrise and house lights that are close by. We were asked to water the owners 5+ plants which we did, but weren’t told would be a responsibility of ours for a vacation rental until arrival. Lastly, the living room was under furnished and not a space to use. Another couch and coffee table (as shown in the picture was not present) would make the room more usable. In the end, we still had a lovely time. Though, the owner is on the property, it did not feel as private as we hoped, especially during COVID-19, and not as much a vacation home including a lot of nuances to maintain the property.

Wonderful home for a family stay

Our family of 8 stayed (2 adult couples and 4 teenage kids) here for post Christmas getaway and it met all our needs. The 3 levels (3 bdrms, 3 ba, loft) provided sufficient privacy and room for everyone to be comfortable while the layout of the kitchen, living room, and dining room allows us common space to share and have create some fun memories. David personally greeted us and toured us through his home and provided good input on the area and tips for skiing and enjoying the Tahoe area - definitely a gracious host (also very easy to communicate with him during our stay as needed). This is a very beautiful home in a great location that accommodate our needs. Would definitely stay here again! Many thanks David for sharing your home with us and your hospitality.

Lovely stay

Beautiful house and shows pride of ownership. We were a little surprised at the situation with the stairs as we had an older person with us. The main living areas are on second floor up a 10or 12 steps. But there are also bedrooms on this floor so She really only had to climb up or down when we left to go out. Not too bad. One other comment - the house has gorgeous windows but lacks shades on a few. Would suggest adding curtains in the bedrooms. Overall nice place.

Perfect spot

Perfect spot that was private yet so close to everything we wanted to do. The park just a few steps away was a great place to play soccer and baseball and the lake was just down the hill. David was very nice and communicated very well with us, even letting us know about a few local happenings when we were there.
