Walk to Heavenly + Hot Tub

We chose this neighborhood because it gives you the best of both sides of South Lake Tahoe: a peaceful, residential mountain setting while still being incredibly close to everything. Heavenly’s California Lodge is within walking distance, so ski days can start without the hassle of parking, and the lake, Heavenly Village, restaurants, beaches, and casinos are all just a short drive away.

What I love most is how distinctly “Tahoe” it feels here. The neighborhood is surrounded by tall pines, with beautiful mountain views—including a spectacular view of Mt. Tallac from just outside the house—and occasional filtered glimpses of the lake. It feels quiet and tucked away when you’re at home, but you’re never far from the places you came to Tahoe to enjoy. For us, that combination of mountain atmosphere, convenience, and access to Heavenly is what makes the location so special.

What makes this home special is how effortlessly it works for a Tahoe getaway. You can walk to Heavenly’s California Lodge in about seven minutes, then come home to soak in the hot tub, cook together in the renovated chef’s kitchen, or relax by the fireplace.

The house is especially great for families and groups, with comfortable gathering spaces, a fun six-bed bunk room for kids, a large backyard, and plenty of room to spread out without feeling disconnected. The kitchen is one of my favorite parts of the home, with a large butcher-block island, marble counters and backsplash, a walk-in pantry, and everything you need to cook a real meal rather than just reheat takeout.

There’s also an EV charger, beautiful views of Mt. Tallac from just outside the house, and that rare combination of feeling tucked into the mountains while still being close to skiing, the lake, restaurants, and everything South Lake Tahoe has to offer. It’s a home designed for the kind of trips where everyone actually wants to spend time together.
