About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Our preferred guests are families- we are NOT a party house! Multi-generational familiy- grandparents, children, and grandkids are great! Our allegiance is to our neighbors. We are very cognizant of our peaceful neighborhood ambiance (that's why we bought it and love it!) and respectful of our neighbors. Please note our House Rules with regard to this.
FYI- we are very qualified to achieve "Premier Partner" with VRBO, except for one thing: they will not grant this designation because we will not accept Instant Booking. We won't do this, as we want control over who rents our home.
We accept a maximum of 8 adults and 4 children in "The Kids' Bunkbed Room" for a total of 12.
Our general rule is to ask for a 4-night stay. However, there are two weeks in the year we ask for a 6-night stay. Those weeks surround New Years and 4th of July. These are by far the most popular times of the year.
This elegant mountain retreat is located on the colorful and traditional West Shore, near Tahoe City, in the serene Talmont area, with membership to the private homeowners Tahoe Park Beach Club. The idyllic setting offers tranquility and privacy, but as our home is only 2.5 miles west of Tahoe City, you will also appreciate the shopping and dining convenience it affords.
Surrounded by multiple forested conservancy lots on three sides, this welcoming 2500+ square foot home offers privacy, a filtered peek of the lake, and an expansive treetop view. It is very tastefully decorated, and fully and thoughtfully equipped, assuring your vacation relaxation.
Our home is lovingly furnished with comfort and quality in mind. We regard it as our beloved second home, as opposed to a rental income property! We gladly open our home to others and appreciate the fact that our guests will show it the same respect that we do.
We have furnished our mountain retreat with cherished antiques, family heirlooms, and warm hand-made and custom-made furniture, along with new beds and linens.
We offer 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, and a fold-out Queen-size sofa. Our home boasts knotty pine cathedral ceilings, knotty pine custom cabinets and trim throughout, and granite kitchen with new appliances, granite bath counters, along with wood and slate flooring throughout.
The entry is showcased by a wide staircase accented with hand-carved pine railings, leading up or down to either of the two living areas.
Upstairs, the open living/dining/kitchen area is airy and expansive, featuring two decks, overlooking the forest. The large, leather sectional is flanked by club chairs, providing a comfortable sitting area.
We have just installed brand new kitchen appliances and a washer and dryer.
You’ll enjoy a flat-screen, HD TV, which is highly maneuverable to allow for the utmost viewing options and has a Blue Ray DVD player. Unlimited free high-speed Internet access is provided.
The upper floor hosts the spacious and luxurious master bedroom featuring a Californian King bed and master bathroom, with a large Jacuzzi soaking tub and separate enclosed glass shower. A half bath is located off the living area and a charming ceiling fan provides a gentle, refreshing breeze on summer evenings.
Downstairs, the family room is a perfect gathering area for youngsters– young and old–a leather sectional faces a large TV, with DVD, and VCR. Leading off the family room are three bedrooms and one full bath: one bedroom features a queen bed, another has a *triple full-size bunk bed, with full-size trundle (this room can sleep a MAX of six small children- UP TO 175 lbs each level) the other bedroom has two twin beds, with and an antique desk. In addition, the sectional in the downstairs living area holds a queen-size foldout bed.
You’ll love our private beach club 1 mile down the road! Charming Tahoe Park is one of the most popular beaches on the lake, offering over three acres of beachfront living. It boasts a lovely beach, little nooks sheltering private sitting and dining areas, grass areas surrounded by gardens and shaded by towering pines, BBQs with tables and benches, piers, kayak access, shuffleboard, volleyball, horseshoes, basketball, bocce ball court, a children’s playground and restrooms. Relax in privacy and enjoy a lakefront BBQ! Google their website for photos and more info- 'Lake Tahoe Park Association'.
Next door to Tahoe Park Beach, sip cocktails on the lakeside deck of festive Sunnyside Resort, while watching the sunset over the lake and boaters pull in after a day on the lake. You’ll savor the breakfasts at the nearby Firesign Café.
Paige Meadows, with its huge network of superb hiking, walking and biking trails, is only steps away from our mountain home. Lake Tahoe is renowned for its natural beauty and numerous outdoor activities including river rafting, extensive hiking and biking (on both paved and dirt paths), fishing, swimming, boating, and all manner of water sports.
Best of all is just relaxing on the beach or reading a good book while lounging on our decks, enjoying the pine-scented mountain air!
Our kitchen is very well-equipped; the dining table expands to seat eight with additional seating for three at the kitchen island. You’ll enjoy a gas Webber BBQ, clothes washer and dryer, and garage parking for one car. Additional outdoor parking is also available.
We welcome you to our tree-top mountain home!

The house was a perfect for our group! Very comfortable and in a great location. Great amenities and cooking / kitchen supplies. The private beach access was awesome.
Annually my family shares the New Year with my brother in-law and his family. This was a wonderful home and the host was extremely gracious. She communicated well and the home was as advertised.
Great host and great home. Thank you.
We are a family of 5 and had two additional guests with us. This was the perfect spot. Plenty of room and a very spacious common space for all of us to enjoy. Location is great. Easy drive into Tahoe City for shopping and groceries. Janine is a great host. She was very helpful and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.
We had a problem when we arrived at the cabin but the owner made it right.This was a family gathering we try to do to keep in touch and build a stronger bond between are growing family.If you have problems with stairs this is not the place for you.The kitchen was well supplied with everything you normally need. The grill on the back porch worked great.The ground still had snow so we were not able to visit the beach.Dealing with the owner was very refreshing because they responded right away.
What a wonderful week we spent at this beautiful home. The setting is lovely and the private beach is fantastic. We were there with our family and there was space for everyone. The kitchen is very well equipped. The owner, Janine, is extremely responsive to any questions at the house. For example, when I asked her about a large roasting pan to cook a turkey, she ordered an electric roaster for us to use. I highly recommend this property and we hope to return again.
We've been renting in the Talmont/ Sunnyside area for over 10 years and this home fits the bill! Very private, had everything organized and easy to find (utencils, etc.). Well-priced and simple to communicate with the owners with any questions! Loved the cabin feel, cozy and spacious. Lower level perfect for teens and additional family. Had mroe than enough extras like beach chairs, crawdad traps, fans. Love it!
A beautiful house in a beautiful spot uphill from the lake! Great mix of lake and trail access. Good, well-equipped, and comfortable home base for a week with extended family. Perfect for 8-10; 12 might have been a little tight, with kids and couples having to line up just right for the beds.
Very comfortable, spacious home, wonderful view and convenient location to any activities you may need. Would recommend to all that enjoy the Tahoe experience
Beautiful house and close to the lake.
We really enjoyed the private beach area.
The only change we would add is newer patio furniture.
We had a wonderful weekend.
This is a great place to stay with a few families. Good size kitchen, family room and bedrooms. Parking is a little tough when you have big vehicles. I’m glad there wasn’t fresh snow/ice because it would be hard to park the vehicles. Would stay here again. Great communication with the owner.
My family celebrated Thanksgiving at the home and had a wonderful time.
This home was perfect for all ages and also large enough to have some private space.
Everything was very clean and decorated to enhance the environment of the location.
The hosts are a pleasure to work with and very accomodating to any needs we had.
I highly recommend a stay in the summer or winter.
