Introducing Indigo Owl, your azure haven near Lake Tahoe! With its charming blue exterior welcoming you, this retreat is a stone's throw away from both the lake shore and the thrilling slopes of Homewood Mountain.
Step out onto the deck, where a private hot tub and grill set the stage for ultimate relaxation. After a day of adventure, unwind in the hot tub, fire up the grill for an easy outdoor meal, or gather around the firepit in the al fresco dining area—perfect for enjoying the crisp mountain air and starlit skies.
Inside, classic comforts abound with hardwood floors, wood-beamed ceilings, and an inviting open layout. Snuggle up on the large sectional, enjoy meals at the dining table with bench seating, or whip up something special in the fully equipped kitchen.

This was such a lovely place! The neighborhood was both quiet and woodsy, while being close to amenities.It was so welcoming driving up with the outdoor lights lit. The house was thoughtfully laid out, the beds were super comfortable, and it was a perfect place for a Tahoe getaway.

The house was exactly as advertised and extremely clean and cozy. Check in process was flawless. We arrived at 1:30am on a cold night and to have check in a entry to work perfectly that was nice.

Hi, Chuck! It sounds like a fantastic return to West Lake! Glad the house was perfect for your stay—clean, convenient, and well-maintained. Hope you don’t wait another 15 years to come back!
As soon as we open the door we had a great feeling with tv on with views of Tahoe video playing, fireplace on, basket of hot tub towels near the back deck door..Very clean and well stocked. Very relaxing deck with picnic table and plenty of outdoor chairs with fire pit.
Highly recommended just keep in mind there is not a garage to put bikes motorcycles ect.. only downside for us really everything else was great

Thank you for your detailed review, Brian! We're thrilled you had such a welcoming experience with the Tahoe video, fireplace, and well-stocked amenities. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the relaxing deck and outdoor features. We appreciate your note about the lack of garage space and will keep that in mind. We hope to welcome you back soon!
We absolutely loved this home and our stay! I really wanted to give this 5 stars but have three small issues with our stay.1- The cleaners were still there at check in and we were waiting outside for them to finish, not the end of the world, but after an 8 hour drive, we wanted relaxation.2- We had not garbage bags to replenish the one in the garbage can. Again, not a big deal, we used the bathroom and bedroom cans until Advantstay delivered more the next morning (thanks!)3- There were several mice scurrying around the downstairs level and definitely can pose a health hazard.Overall we enjoyed our stay!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Dustin! Sorry about the wait during check-in and the missing garbage bags—we’re glad we could get those to you quickly. We take the mice issue seriously and are working to fix it right away. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back for an even better stay!
