Cozy mountain home w/ Hot Tub, Dogs Ok, Lake Tahoe -Los Osos
*Tahoe is a beautiful and fun place to visit, but occasionally this area can be affected by extreme weather events. While we never want things like icy roads, road closures, or smoke from wildfires to negatively impact our guests, it can happen. We ask travelers to plan their vacation appropriately for the rural mountain climate and encourage guests to research all travel insurance options, as Tahoe Moon Properties cannot provide refunds for things outside of our control.
Hot Tub - Mountain Home
The "Los Osos" Mountain Home is the perfect North Lake Tahoe vacation rental getaway spot for families and friends. Enjoy the matchless surroundings of Lake Tahoe in this warm and comfortable mountain vacation home with four bedrooms and over 1900 square feet of spacious living and a hot tub for your long-awaited, well-deserved vacation. It is located in a quiet residential area, with forest lands as your backyard for as far as you can see. In the cities, we call this a 'Green Belt'. On the North Shore of Lake Tahoe, we call it 'Heaven'! You can put on your boots or snowshoes and just head out the back door for a hike! If downhill skiing is more your thing Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows and Northstar ski areas are all less than 25 minutes drive away. Important, this property does not have air conditioning. Air conditioners are extremely unusual in North Lake Tahoe. There's a big beautiful rock fireplace in each of the two separate living rooms, giving everyone an easy and comfortable place to relax after a day at the beach, water skiing, or a day on the slopes, snow skiing or snowboarding. The ground level living room offers big comfortable couches, a TV and DVD, games, and books. The 2nd level features a great room, including a well-equipped open kitchen with a bar for casual breakfast and lunch meals, a large dining area, and the 2nd warm and comfortable living room with a gas fireplace, television and DVD.
The deck opens right off the dining area, offering plenty of room for outdoor dining and socializing. You can sit back and breathe in the clean mountain air while enjoying peeks of beautiful Lake Tahoe through the lush evergreen trees. The master suite is on the same level as the kitchen and great room. It has a King bed and TV with cable and a private bathroom with a tub and shower. On the ground level is a wonderful room with Queen bed and TV with cable. It is perfect for 2 families are sharing the home. The ground level bath also has a tub and shower.
The home is centrally located 6 miles east of Tahoe City and 2 miles west of Kings Beach in the private Agate Bay neighborhood. Fine dining is nearby at Garwoods or you can enjoy casual dining at CB's Pizza. There are many other excellent options as well, including a great coffeehouse. Kayaks can be rented in the summer. World class hiking, mountain biking, and rafting are nearby in the summer. In the winter, Northstar, Squaw Valley, and Alpine Meadows are less than 15 miles away for downhill and cross country skiing and for snowboarding. The State of Nevada is a short 10 minutes away, offering restaurants, casinos, and gambling, as well as still more snow sports at Incline Village.

Rats
I would say that the home is a typical Tahoe rental in that it needs general repairs but was overall what we expected. My family and I have rented homes in the Tahoe area for years and expect some minor repair/maintenance issues. However, this house had a rat problem. We could hear them at night in the walls, we had to keep our food in sealed containers and caught at least 6 rats in the kitchen while we were staying there in under two weeks. It made for a very uncomfortable and not very relaxing vacation.

Great house
We loved this house. We were two families each with a dog.
It is difficult to find a house that suits these needs that is great value.
The upstairs and downstairs living rooms create a great environment for the kids to hang out separately. Plenty of space and big deck to enjoy.
Would definitely come back again!
We loved the layout of the house! It was perfect for a larger group, where we didn’t feel crowded. The hot tub was a bonus and the location was great. Loved our stay here!
We were caught off guard when the property description and photos of the number and type of beds was inaccurate. We had many singles on this trip - adults and teenagers - and we were counting on the beds as described (2 twins and 4 bunk beds). Unfortunately when we arrived, the beds had been changed to 1 king, 1 double, and 2 bunk beds. One of our party had to sleep on the floor, and one on the couch. Otherwise the stay was lovely, and the property had everything we needed.
We stayed there with 8 guests. All the amenities we needed were there. The location was great, too.

Spacious yet cozy home
We had a wonderful holiday spent at this super accommodating home. We all enjoyed the hot tub, hosting family dinners in the kitchen & dining room, and relaxing in either of the two living rooms. The views were goergeous and the neighborhood was cute too. Would highly recommend this home.
