IMPORTANT: The renter must sign a TTVR Rental Agreement within 24 hours of booking for their reservation to be confirmed.

Nestled in the enchanting neighborhood of Tahoma on the magical west shore, this cozy family-friendly home is your perfect base for exploring all that Lake Tahoe has to offer. Located just 9 miles south of Tahoe City and 8 miles north of Emerald Bay, you'll find yourself in an ideal location for biking along scenic paths, hiking local trails, or swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the lake. With Palisades Tahoe and Alpine Meadows only 15 miles from your door, adventure is never far away.

This welcoming mountain retreat boasts 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to 8 guests. On the main level, you'll discover a well-stocked kitchen, a dining area, and a cozy living room featuring a wood-burning stove and TV—perfect for family gatherings. This level also includes a full bathroom and convenient access off the kitchen to a large deck, ideal for summer BBQs and soaking in the fresh mountain air (please note that deck access is not available during winter months). The primary bedroom features a king-sized bed, while the secondary bedroom is furnished with a twin bunk bed.

Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms: the third bedroom offers two queen-sized beds, and the fourth bedroom includes a queen bed and a twin bed. Both share a full bathroom with a double vanity.

During the summer, enjoy the abundant outdoor activities at your doorstep. Bike along scenic paths, hike local trails, or take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters of the lake. The large deck is perfect for summer BBQs and dining al fresco, allowing you to soak up the sun while surrounded by nature.

In winter, this home becomes your mountain retreat. After a day of snow-filled fun, return to the warmth of the wood-burning stove and enjoy family movie nights in the cozy living room. The convenient mudroom provides a perfect space to store your gear and keep the home tidy, making it easy to transition from outdoor adventures to indoor relaxation. Both Palisades at Tahoe in Olympic Valley and Alpine Meadows can be reached in under 30 minutes, and it is a beautiful scenic drive along Lake Tahoe. There is also a free shuttle from Tahoe City. Park in Tahoe City and let the shuttle driver take over.

With room for up to 4 cars in the driveway, you'll have no trouble bringing the whole family for a memorable Tahoe vacation.
his cabin was a perfect getaway for our group of nine—spacious, clean, and stocked with all the essentials. Tucked away in the woods, it offered a peaceful retreat without being too far from town. We really appreciated being removed from the busier, more commercial areas—it made for a much more relaxing experience, surrounded by the sounds of nature.

County Rules
As part of the Vacation Home Rental Permit for this home, the county asks that we share the important rules and regulations with you. We appreciate your cooperation in following the guidelines listed below, also included in your signed Vacation Rental Agreement.

Maximum Occupancy: There shall be no gatherings, events, weddings or other group functions on the Premises with more people than the number of persons stated on the Agreement.

Parking: Parking on the street is prohibited at all times. All cars, boats, and trailers must be parked in the garage and/or driveway.

Quiet Hours: Quiet hours are 10pm-8am, seven days a week. Per the County: No sound may be audible from the property line during quiet hours. Amplified sound (such as speakers) shall not be used outside or be audible from the parcel line of any short-term rental at any time. Outdoor hot tubs cannot be used during quite hours.

Lights Out: All exterior lights must be turned off that are not needed for safety or other outdoor use to the extent that such other outdoor use is not an unreasonable nuisance to neighbors at night during the hours of 10pm and 7am, seven days a week.

Red Flag Warnings: Due to high risk of wildfire in our area, bonfires, charcoal barbecues, and wood-burning fire pits are always prohibited. On designated Red Flag Warning Days—when fire danger is especially severe due to dry conditions and high winds—all outdoor fires are prohibited, including gas grills and gas fire pits. These restrictions come directly from the North Tahoe Fire Protection District and must be followed for everyone's safety. It is each guest's responsibility to stay informed about Red Flag Warnings. They are announced on local news, radio, and social media, and you'll also see signs posted at fire stations throughout the area.

Winter Driving: Many highways, access roads, and driveways in the Tahoe area can become icy during the winter. For your safety, it's essential that between November 1st and April 30th your vehicle is winter-ready. Make sure brakes, windshield wipers, defroster, heater, and exhaust system are in top condition. Tires should be properly inflated with excellent tread, and you should always carry tire chains—even if you have an AWD/4WD vehicle. Double-check that your chains fit your tires and are in good working order. On many state highways and county roads, four-wheel drive and snow tires are required for safe travel.
Please be prepared for winter conditions: dress appropriately, stay in bounds at ski resorts and if you get lost, remain in place.

Garbage & Bears: Please do not feed the bears. Black bears are very common in this area and, over time, many have become used to human food and trash. Because they no longer have a natural fear of people, you may see them during your spring, summer, or fall stay. Feeding bears is illegal, and leaving food outside, trash unsecured, or doors and windows unlocked can lead to serious property damage to both homes and vehicles. To help prevent this, all waste must be placed in bear-proof bins or dumpsters and the latches secured. Placer County sorts recycling from the waste for you at our materials recovery facilities.

Office Holiday Hours
The TTVR office is closed on New Year's Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Therefore, we are unable to accommodate check-ins and check-outs on these dates. Thank you for understanding.
