Inside, the main house features an inviting atmosphere. Large windows span the front of the house, complementing the space with natural light and views of the lake. Get cozy and unwind by the stone fireplace, or gather around for the ultimate group game night. The sleek, fully-equipped kitchen is a delight for home cooks, featuring stainless steel appliances and ample counter space.

The guest house offers additional space and privacy, with a main floor featuring a cozy living area, dining nook, and a convenient kitchenette. Upstairs, you'll find a fourth bedroom with 2 full beds, 2 twin beds, and 2 twin trundles, providing plenty of space for larger groups or families traveling together.

Step outside to the spacious front patio, where the lakefront views will take your breath away. Gather around the comfortable seating area for an evening cocktail, dine alfresco at the outdoor dining table under the large umbrella, and soak in the stunning views of the lake.

West Shore Lake House is perfectly located to explore all that Lake Tahoe has to offer. Enjoy the serene beauty of the lake, just steps from your door, or venture out to nearby attractions.

Situated in the snowy Sierra Nevada Mountain range straddling the border between California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe offers stunning panoramic scenery and year-round adventure. Visitors flock here especially to ski and snowboard on dramatic slopes that seem to fall into the abyss of the lake’s blackish blue water, with the Sherwood Lift at Alpine Meadows just a 10-minute drive via Ward Creek Road, making it easy to hit the slopes in no time. Whether you’re looking for a day in the mountains or a cruise on the lake, it’s all here in Tahoe.

Local Attractions: Homewood Ski Resort, Palisades Tahoe, Eagle Falls Trail (hiking), Eagle Rock (hiking and lookout point), Emerald Bay, Sugar Pine Point State Park (Nordic events of 1960 Winter Olympics), Inspiration Point Vista, Chambers Landing Bar & Grill (American), Meeks Bay Marina and Beach, Tahoma Market, and the Rubicon (world-famous 4x4 trail).
