Property details

Homewood sits on Lake Tahoe's West Shore, in the quiet stretch between Tahoe City and Tahoma, a few short blocks from the lake and the bike path that runs along the shoreline. Inside, the home strikes a nice balance. Plush furnishings, modern finishes, and a sleek kitchen keep it feeling fresh, while camp-inspired decor and warm wood accents remind you that you're in the mountains. Three levels give everyone room to spread out. The primary bedroom has a king bed, two more bedrooms each have a queen, and two smaller rooms with twin beds are a natural fit for kids. Three full bathrooms and a half bath keep mornings moving. The kitchen is stocked for real cooking, with a dishwasher for the cleanup after, and a dedicated workspace with fast WiFi covers anyone who needs to check in with the office. The spa room is the highlight. A sauna and hot tub share the space, so after a day on the slopes or the water you can trade off between the two for as long as you like. Afterward, settle in by the fire, start a round on the shuffleboard table, or pull out the games for the evening. Sleds are ready for the next snowfall, and in summer the furnished deck with a grill is where morning coffee and dinner outside happen. The location keeps the best of the West Shore close. Homewood Mountain Resort is minutes up the road, and Palisades Tahoe and Alpine Meadows are about 35 minutes north for bigger ski days. When the snow melts, the lake and bike path are a short walk away, Sugar Pine Point State Park is about 6 minutes south, and Meeks Bay and the trails around Emerald Bay are an easy drive for beach days, boating, and hiking. Tahoe City's restaurants, shops, and golf are a short drive north provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service! Situated in the snowy Sierra Nevada Mountain range straddling the border between California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe offers stunning panoramic scenery and year-round adventure. Winter sports enthusiasts love to conquer dramatic slopes that seem to fall into the abyss of the lake's cobalt blue water. Whether you're looking for a day in the mountains or a booze cruise on the lake, you can have it all in Tahoe!

Instructions were clear & host was accommodating. Loved that the hot tub is indoors so we could still use it even with the snow. The area is a bit remote from stores and restaurants, but it was only a 5-minute drive to Homewood, which was perfect for snowboarding. Great spot for a big group.
