About this property
Serene Creekside Chalet: Hot Tub, Games, BBQ
Spacious, comfortable, and made for memory making, this home blends peaceful creekside vibes with easy access to Tahoe’s best. Tucked beside a quiet meadow along Trout Creek, it feels private and nature-forward, yet you’re just minutes from top skiing, beaches, trails, dining, and shopping. After a day out, unwind in the private backyard hot tub, then head inside for friendly competition on the foosball table, air hockey, or shuffleboard. With open gathering spaces, multiple outdoor areas, and thoughtful amenities throughout, it’s an ideal year-round retreat for families and groups to relax, reconnect, and make Tahoe memories.
The home has comfortable sleeping and dining for a family of 12, when children under the age of 13 are included, only 8 guests over the age of 13 are permitted at the home. Parking for 4 vehicles total, with 2 spaces in the garage and 2 in the driveway. These limits are enforced 24/7.
Step into a bright, open main living space with large windows. Perfect for getting the whole family together. The living room features a large sectional with seating for seven to eight guests, a 65-inch TV, and a gas fireplace that creates a cozy focal point after ski days or lake adventures. The open-concept layout flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining area, making it easy for groups to gather, cook, and spend time together.
The kitchen is fully equipped for everything from quick breakfasts to full family meals. Tiled countertops, a large Whirlpool refrigerator, Monogram full-size oven, five-burner gas cooktop, dishwasher, and microwave provide plenty of cooking power. A dedicated coffee station includes both a Keurig and a Hamilton Beach 12-cup drip coffee maker. Small appliances include a blender, two toasters, and a waffle maker. The dining table seats eight comfortably, while the kitchen bar provides seating for six with new barstools.
Multiple balconies off the back of the home offer peaceful outdoor spaces with beautiful meadow and Trout Creek views. These elevated decks are perfect for morning coffee, quiet reading time, or soaking in Tahoe’s fresh mountain air. The backyard hot tub provides the perfect place to unwind after skiing, hiking, or exploring the lake, whether you’re relaxing during the day or soaking under the stars.
The oversized garage has been converted into a bonus recreation space and gear hub. Guests can enjoy foosball, air hockey, and shuffleboard, along with a ski rack and ski clothing hangers, making it easy to store equipment and enjoy some friendly competition after a day outdoors.
A dedicated laundry room on the main level (2nd floor) features a large, side-by-side Samsung washer and dryer, ideal for longer stays or active trips. During winter months, the home’s hydraulic heated driveway helps improve access and snow management.

Probably one of the best properties I have booked. The location was great, close to everything. The home itself was spacious with large bedrooms and an open floor plan on the main floor. The home was very clean and comfortable. We didn’t use the hot tub as it was too cold and the games in the garage were fun. Communication with the host was great. We were able to communicate by text and we had no issues. Highly recommend this property.
