If you’re looking for seclusion and true mountain serenity, the Christmas Valley neighborhood in South Lake Tahoe is just the place for you. If you love to ski, fish, hike and bike this is the place for you to visit. There are wide open meadows, fantastic bouldering, and for the brave, you can ski down Echo Summit to the base of the valley. Christmas Valley is the gateway to Luther Pass, Hope Valley, Blue Lakes adventure area and endless miles of trails for skiing, snowmobiling, mountain biking, world class fly fishing and so much more. The favorite ski areas for Christmas Valley locals are Kirkwood and Sierra At Tahoe.

Comprised of mainly local families and year round occupants, the Christmas Valley neighborhood is possibly the top locale in Tahoe for adventure right out of your backdoor. The area includes the beautiful Upper Truckee River which happens to be Lake Tahoe’s largest tributary, and encompasses many beautiful meadows, trails and USFS cabins – especially towards the far end of South Upper Truckee Road. This neighborhood is lined by towering mountains with Echo Summit peering over it. You’ll pass through Christmas Valley on highway 89 on your way to Hope Valley, Luther Pass, Kirkwood or the Carson Valley.

The area is extremely popular with mountain bikers, backcountry skiers and hikers. Trails and recreation abound in the area and include Old Meyers Grade; a popular year round paved workout area due to snow removal in the winter, Hawley Grade, Lake Valley Trail, which connects to the Tahoe Rim Trail, and for the extreme adventures and backcountry skiing from Echo Summit.

This area tends to get lots of snow, so it is loved by skiers, with great access to Hwy 89, Luther Pass (Waterhouse Peak for alpine touring and Grass Lake for snowshoeing or cross country), Hope Valley, Kirkwood Resort and Sierra at Tahoe.

Checkout is 11:00 am. Late checkout is $100/hour. Please let us know the time you plan to check out so we can pass this information on to the housekeepers. We do a thorough cleaning after each guest’s stay. We kindly ask that before leaving, place dishes in the dishwasher and start it; start a load of towels in the washing machine, and take out all the trash. This helps our cleaning process. Basically leave the home as you found it.

BBQ is for guest use. Please turn the valve from the house to the "on" position before cooking and turn it off when done. When you are done, clean the BBQ with the utensils and put the cover back on it once it cools. No briquets in the BBQ, this is a gas only BBQ.

Garbage: If you stay here on a Monday, please put the garbage cans on the street Monday evening for Tuesday morning pickup. If you are here Tuesday, please put the garbage next to the driveway by the stairs. Do not put trash in the yard waste bin. This creates a huge mess that is difficult to clean up. If you create too much garbage then please take it with you. Do not overfill the trash can or there will be a $100 charge.
