General overview
Guests love this North Lake Tahoe home since it’s just 2 blocks to the lake and a favorite for those who love Kings Beach (an eclectic, charming & historic neighborhood), Lake Tahoe and all it has to offer. Guests rave that you can park at the house and not drive at all and easily walk to the lake, shops, restaurants and cafes … amazing in the winter for snow or the summer for the fun lake activities. Guests often book this home for 2 families, or a group of friends (parties not allowed).
The space
Once you open the door to this lake house, you can go upstairs to enjoy the great room, kitchen, dining and TV space, go outside on the back deck (grill some food on our gas BBQ or just sit on the deck, hang out and enjoy the surrounding trees). You can then go down the hallway, passing a powder room on your way to the primary bedroom (with en suite full bath with deep soaking tub). Guests love how the other two bedrooms, an additional full bath (with laundry area separated by an accordion door) and garage access are all downstairs. One of those bedrooms has a king bed and the other has a queen bed and a day bed with a trundle (making it a room with two twins and a queen). Guests love that this layout makes it easy to enjoy the great room upstairs after the kids go to sleep or early birds have already decided to call it a night.
DESCRIPTION:
Guests rave about this open concept living/dining/ kitchen area (stacked stone fireplace, hickory floors, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and blackout shades in every bedroom), and many return year after year (and tell their friends and family about it). We love hosting and our guests love the space and amenities provided.
This home sleeps a maximum of 8 adults and guests have said it is perfect for two families or a group of friends (over age 25). Guests love the spacious primary bedroom with a king bed, flat screen TV and a couch that folds into a twin bed, if needed. Guests say the primary bathroom is like a spa retreat, spacious and lovely, with a large soaking tub, double vanity, ginormous shower and separate water closet. On this floor, you’ll also find the great room/living area/dining room/kitchen and 1/2 bathroom, as well as the outdoor deck with table, chairs, bar area and grill. On the floor below, you'll find the 2nd bedroom with a king bed and the 3rd bedroom has a queen bed and a day bed with trundle (2 singles and a queen). A full bathroom, laundry room and access to the garage round out the lower floor. Linens and decor are regularly rotated and may be different from what is in the picture.
With plenty of counter space and wonderful appliances, guests regularly cook gourmet meals in the kitchen, relax by the fireplace with a book or watch a movie on the 65 inch flat screen TV (includes YOUTUBE TV and you are welcome to login with your own ROKU/Netflix/Amazon Prime Video/HBO Max/Disney+ accounts). Or hang out on the back deck and grill up some steaks on the BBQ (we have 2 propane tanks onsite, but cannot guarantee they will be full if prior guests don’t tell us they’re empty). This vacation stay will be your perfect home away from home for the ultimate Tahoe getaway. The dining table is right off the living room and can accommodate 6-10 people along with a breakfast bar that seats several more people. The kitchen and dining space are open to the living room, so guests can enjoy everyone's company (or take your feast to the back deck where 6-8 can dine comfortably). Note that the sectional is being replaced in 2024, so pictures will not show the current sectional.
NOTE RE FURNISHINGS: Contents, furnishings, decor and placement may change and does not constitute grounds for cancellation. Guests are not to move furniture, except converting the sofa in primary bedroom into a bed and the trundle bed in downstairs bedroom (but we ask that it be put back after use).
LOCATION/AMENITIES
Located in Kings Beach (you can actually see glimpses of the lake from front steps and the master bedroom), this home can be your year round vacation home base. You don't need to drive once you arrive. The lake, shops, restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, ice cream shops and adorable miniature golf course are within a few block walk. Bring your beach toys (or use ours) if visiting in the summer, and skis or sleds in the winter. You can also find 5-6 teen/adult bikes in the garage for you to enjoy during your stay (3 beach cruisers and 2 mountain bikes… we have helmets you are welcome to use). We have a pack and play, dining booster, bathroom step stool, outlet covers and nightlights for families with young children. Family games are in the great room on the bottom shelf of the cart/end table (we check these regularly but can’t guarantee all pieces are there unless guests put them back).
Brockway Golf Course is a 3 minute drive; there is plenty of hiking, mountain biking and water activities. Winter brings on a whole new range of activities, with North Lake Tahoe Skiing and Snowboarding just minutes away, ski, snowboard, snowshoe, ice-skate or just build a snow man in the backyard. Regardless of what season you enjoy our home, you have unlimited options for fun!
If you drive an EV, we have a Level 2 220V charger in the garage, which you are welcome to use.
Guest access
This is a split level 2-story home, where you need to climb stairs to access home from garage or from front yard.
Notes
Since this is our second home, we rent it out when we aren’t using it and have professional cleaners clean after every stay, so that it is renter ready. We would ask our guests to pay for the cleaners (rate as of 2024 is $40/hr and typically takes 5-6 hours to clean … less if left in good condition with laundry done).
