This is a wonderful 3 level private mountain home with views of beautiful Lake Tahoe, which is only 2 miles away. 2300 square feet of interior space with decks on all 3 floors, and a newly added private hot tub on the bottom deck, from which you get a peek view of Lake Tahoe. This is a gorgeous freestanding private home in a private cul-de-sac on a forested mountain slope. There are outdoor decks on all 3 floors!

The entry from the front door or garage op...ens to the middle floor, which is the main living area with a kitchen featuring new granite counters, range, refrigerator with ice and water dispenser, microwave, dishwasher, cookware, salad spinner, grind and brew coffeemaker - all the amenities for preparing gourmet meals. The adjacent great room has a hardwood floor and a dining area that can seat eight (with the leaves of the table folded out), a lovely stone hearth with a pellet wood stove, a living area with a huge sectional couch and home theater featuring a 55 inch Visio LCD High Definition TV, Stereo with CD changer and easy MP3 player plug in, surround sound speaker system with subwoofer, Playstation 3 gaming system (with Move controllers, guitars, drumset, lots of games) and blue ray DVD player. There is a half bath on this floor and access to the garage. The interior was recently painted and redocorated with a "Tahoe Rustic Lodge" theme. I love it and I'm sure you will too! There is a massive wraparound deck for dining al fresco, lounging, sunbathing, stargazing, and enjoying the beautiful views. The deck has a picnic table and patio furniture in summer, and a Weber propane grill. There are filtered views of Lake Tahoe from the great room and the deck.

The huge master suite occupies the entire third floor and is very private, with a huge bedroom with queen bed, private deck, step down to a side room formerly used for a babies area or work area, full bathroom with jetted tub, separate his and hers sinks, and walk in closet. On the dresser I have a Klipsch portable stereo unit for MP3 players such as Ipods and smartphones. The best views of Lake Tahoe can be enjoyed from the entry of this room from the top of the stairs since it sits above most of the treetops.

The bottom floor features two bedrooms, one with a California King bed, 30 inch TV for watching DVD and VHS movies (not connected to DirectTV) and its own wraparound private deck with newly added private hot tub and a peek of Lake Tahoe, the other room has a full size bunk bed with twin bed above it, plus another twin bed with another slide out trundle twin bed beneath (4 beds total in this room). There is a full bathroom on this floor and a laundry room with washer and dryer, ironing board, etc.

The bottom floor has a huge (approximately 20' x 20') bedroom/gameroom/gym/office/home theater with L shaped desk, desktop computer with high speed internet access, wireless router for WIFI, lazer printer/copier/scanner, gym quality stair stepper, treadmill, and recumbent lifecycle, convertable hide a bed couch and love seat, stereo, 50 inch Samsung DLP High Definition TV with DVD/VCR, DirectTV connection, home theater setup and Nintendo Wii game system with fun games. The couch converts to a queen size bed that can sleep 2. I have an additional double thickness queen size airbed for this room (or another room) if you have a large party. This room is awesome for kids and family fun! Years ago I operated my law firm from this office. Please note that there is not a closet or dresser in this room.

The house has Direct TV Satellite service for the two home theaters, and high speed cable internet with WIFI. I have for a Netflix service that provides unlimited streaming high definition movies in surround sound to either of the home theaters in the house. The movies come in over the Charter high speed cable internet connection and go out over the WIFI network to the PS3 and Wii systems connected to the home theaters.

This was once my primary home, which means that you'll find a lot more than the usual basic supplies. Feel free to use whatever condiments, spices, and sundries that are here for my and your enjoyments.

No smoking indoors. If you smoke, kindly do it on one of the 3 outdoor decks.

This is a gorgeous house in an idyllic natural setting at the destination voted #1 in the US and you will make wonderful and lasting memories here!Read more

Additional Location Information

Lake Tahoe

#1 most popular destination in the US

Blessed with sparkling natural beauty, has been selected as in the #1 most popular destination in the United States, Lake Tahoe is considered the jewel of the High Sierra. The lake is known for the clarity of its water and the panorama of surrounding mountains on all sides. At 6,229 feet above sea level, Lake Tahoe is the highest lake of its size in the United States, measuring 22 miles long by 12 miles wide, has a surface area of 191 square miles and an average depth of 989 feet and 72 miles of shoreline. Lake Tahoe is the second deepest lake in the United States, with a maximum depth of 1,645 feet, trailing only Oregon's Crater Lake.

Incline Village comes by its name honestly. It is named for the Great Incline Tramway, built by loggers in the late 1870's. Today, Incline is where some of the world’s wealthiest people have built stunning mountain retreats. This eastern North Shore enclave features some of Tahoe’s most peaceful beaches and a refined approach to Lake Tahoe life.

Incline Village has a population of approximately 8,000 an is surrounded by Forest Service land. It is a quiet affluent community with a number of great restaurants, a small movie theater, 2 world class golf courses, a bowling alley, quaint shops, and good hospitality. The Lone Eagle Grill at the Hyatt is an amazing lakeside restaurant with an outdoor firepit that is a nice place to enjoy a cocktail and appetizers. There is also a pier with a bar that serves tasty food and drinks in the summer.

Sacramento is a 2 hour drive, San Francisco 3.5 hours.

In summer, theatergoers flock to see the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival at nearby Sand Harbor. https://www.laketahoeshakespeare.com/
Winter sees snow boarders and skiers maneuvering to Diamond Peak and Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe.

Lake Tahoe contains enough fresh, crystal clear water to cover the state of California to shin depth. On June 12, 2011 I drove from Reno and saw people sledding in the snow that lingers just off the Mount Rose Highway and the same afternoon I swam in Lake Tahoe and the pool at Burnt Cedar Beach, one of Incline Village's private beach facilities. The pool is heated but the lake was still a little brisk in early summer!

Here is some general information about Lake Tahoe: http://www.tahoelifeofluxury.com/an-overview-of-lake-tahoe/

More world class ski resorts are clustered around Lake Tahoe than anywhere in the world. Diamond Peak is only 3 miles from my house and offers panaramic lake views and reasonable prices. Northstar Resort and Mount Rose are 20 minutes, Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Heavenly Valley and more are about 45 minutes away. Great sledding, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, etc. are within 10 minutes and I have a toboggan, sleds, and saucers for your use. Rachel and I occasionally sled down the hill right next to our house. We build snowmen and make snow angels in the yard.

In summer, Tahoe offers world class hiking, mountain biking, boating, golf, etc. Golf at the Championship course is especially fun. The ball flies at least a full club farther (and curves less if you slice) due to the thinner air at elevation. I have more power than finesse and have hit drives close to 400 yards and have made an eagle on the par 5 tenth hole with an 2 iron off the tee and a wedge into the green. There is a popular walking and running path on Lakeshore Boulevard close by. There are 2 private beaches that you can access for a guest fee ($12 for adults, $4 for children under 18). One private beach has a boat ramp, the other has an Olympic size swimming pool overlooking the lake (with lifeguards and a waterslide), and a huge grassy area with a finger that goes out into the lake. Both beaches have concessions, sand volleyball courts, and charcoal barbeques. Emerald Bay on the West shore of Lake Tahoe is the most photographed place in the world.

Casino gaming is close by, including the Hyatt in Incline Village (less than 5 miles from the house), and the nearby casinos near the California borders in North and South Lake Tahoe, and of course Reno, where I work. Reno and its international airport are a 45 minute drive away.

My home is located on a cul-de sac with almost no traffic. In the summer, I love golf, barbequeing, boating, lounging on the deck and stargazing. Thousands of stars are visible due to the elevation and lack of city lights.

The flume trail, rated one of the top 5 mountain bike rides in the world, ends in Incline Village at the former Ponderosa Ranch. I've done it once and it was amazing and very challenging. Marlette Lake is perched well up above the level of Lake Tahoe and is a perfect place to break for lunch. My favorite hike is the Rubicon Trail on the West shore of Lake Tahoe, a 6 mile one way hike with spectacular lake views that ends at Emerald Bay. During the summer a free public bus returns you to your car at D.L. Bliss state park. See http://www.bluego.org/documents/westshore_activities.pdf

Another wonderful hike goes up to the old Stateline fire lookout behind the Biltmore Casino in Crystal Bay. The lookout is rather difficult to find, so don’t bother looking for signs. From my house, drive 5-10 minutes almost to the California border to Crystal Bay, Nevada, turn up Reservoir Road between the Tahoe Biltmore Lodge and the old Tahoe Mariner casinos (just before you reach the Biltmore), then turn right at the firehouse. Continue up the hill until you reach a point where a steeper U.S. Forest Service road doubles back to the left above you. Follow this for a quarter mile beyond the green metal gate to the parking lot. Make sure not to block the gate. The Stateline Fire Lookout, though often overlooked and off the beaten path, is probably the best high-elevation vantage point on Lake Tahoe’s North Shore. This is an especially great place to bring your kids. A short quarter mile hike uphill gives you an extremely rewarding and spectacular bird’s eye view. See http://www.tahoelifeofluxury.com/stateline-fire-lookout-incredible-lake-tahoe-views/

Many other wonderful hikes are close by and I've got a book describing them for you.

  Convenient location, great amenities and very helpful owner!

  Left on 01/15/2013 for a stay in January 2013
  
  

  We stayed here with a group of friends for a ski weekend in January. The owner was very helpful in providing not only instructions for arrival, checkout and our stay, but also provided nice personal touches such as restaurant recommendations. We skied at Northstar Resort, which was about 15-20 minutes away.
  
  There was plenty of space in the house and it was nicely furnished. The huge TV in the living room was perfect for watching football after a hard day of skiing, and the couches were very comfortable. We loved the pellet stove in the common room, too. The owner provided lots of extra towels, which was perfect because we used the hot tub needed them! Most places I've stayed at seem to forget that guests go through towels so quickly! Also a plus, the owner has a good variety of spices, oils, and cooking necessities in the kitchen that he allows guests to use, which is uncommon around Tahoe but very helpful.
  
  This is a perfect house for a weekend in Tahoe. It has enough rooms to provide privacy, but a great communal area for folks to hang out. There was plenty of parking (1 car in garage, 2 in driveway, 2 on the street) even when it was snowing out. The owner's accessibility are also a huge plus! It was nice to know that if a problem arose, we could contact him so easily. Will definitely stay here again in the future.

  Cozy gem in the Incline Village

  Left on 02/29/2012 for a stay in February 2012
  
  

  Cozy and comfortable home with a real live-in feel. Trevor was very accomodating and answered any questions we had. We also appreciated the fact that he wasn't overboard with his instructions and only noting things that were unique or particular to his house. We've stayed at other rentals where you received instructions to everything with signs all over the place (home loses its comfy appeal and makes you feel paranoid about whether you will receive your deposit back) . Just respect the home as if it was yours and all is well. There were a multitude of "toys" in the home to keep everyone busy from ages 2 and up. Our kids especially loved the pinball machine, astroid game, and PS3! We wish we had time to enjoy the bullfrog hot tub; maybe next time! His rates are very reasonable considering the area and location. Overall, a nice rustic feel to the home with all the amenities you will need to make you feel right at home.

  Great Tahoe Getaway!

  Left on 02/18/2012 for a stay in February 2012
  
  

  We stayed with another couple with our 3 kids and their one child. It was a wonderful, comfortable place with great views and sledding right outside in the yard. It was clean and spacious with a nice sofa to accomodate all of us. We cooked all of our meals in and this place has a great kitchen. You can't beat the location, it is simply gorgeous. The owner was very helpful in answering all of our questions. There is a nice little snow hill about 10 minutes away that was fun for the kids. We would definitely come back and certainly recommend this to our friends.

  Warm, comfortable house - great for families!

  Left on 01/01/2012 for a stay in December 2012
  
  

  My wife, kids, and I had a wonderful stay at Trevor's house. It was 10 minutes from Mt. Rose, a place where we enjoy skiing and commercial district of Incline Village. We called Trevor with a few questions during our stay, and he was always available to help. We would definitely stay here in the future!

  Would Definitely Stay again!

  A group of us came up from Los angeles for the weekend for a wedding in Incline Village and thankfully found this wonderful house. It is well equipped with everything you would need. The amount of entertainment in the house is endless! Between the in-home theaters connected to gaming consoles, CD players, Dvds... the list goes on. And then there's the game room! Hello Mrs Pacman! There are tons of games to keep you entertainment for weeks! We were all sad that we were only there for a weekend as the house could keep you entertained for a very long time! Trevor was very accommodating and great to work with. He made sure that we were well taken care of and was there for any questions! If you order pizza in, get it from Tomatos! Get the Smokey Veggie Pizza.. it was delicious! :) If you looking for a great house for a group of friends - this is definitely for you!
