Two main things: the house itself, and all that is close to it.
We use this home in Twin Bridges as a base-camp for all our Tahoe area adventures. Hiking, swimming, visiting the nearby lakes, skiing, snowmobiling - everything we like to do is within easy reach. Not right on HW 50, the quite street is great for a walk. We walk to nearby historic Strawberry Lodge for ice cream (currently being refurbished). We try our luck at fishing in the nearby American River. We chat it up with our neighbors & their guests at the nearby general store. We watch the rock climbers tackle the towering cliff of nearby Lover's Leap. We catch a glimpse of the Milky Way above. Most importantly, we make memories here with our friends.
And the house itself ... such a gem. Tastefully decorated with a tremendous capacity to entertain. Completely remodeled in 2010 - all is new and in great working shape. Every aspect of the property exudes quality and craftsmanship.
