Walk to Ski Lift at Alpine Meadows
6 bedroom, 3 bath, Hot tub, Pool Table, Sauna, Fireplace, 7 TV's, Wrap around deck with magnificent views and Homeowners Pickleball and Tennis court just 3 miles to the beaches at Lake Tahoe.
This six bedroom, three bath, three-story chalet is the perfect getaway for both winter and summer. Located on the west shore of Tahoe City, you are 10 minutes to the white sand of Lake Tahoe and within walking distance to the backside of Alpine Meadows Ski Area. The Sherwood Lift is a high speed quad chair...you can walk there and ski home. No crowds, no lift lines, no hassles. AND! a private parking lot for homeowners and guests staying.
When the snow melts, the surroundings become a playground to hike, bike, and fish. 10 min to the Lake, you can drop in a kayak. Play pickelball or tennis on the homeowners courts surrounded but tall pines. Golf lovers can enjoy the multitude of golf courses within a ten mile radius, beaches and picnic areas are within biking distance to the house. There are a ton of hiking trails just out the back door, and you can access a bike trail that runs along the Truckee River The activities in the Tahoe Basin are endless. Located on the West shore of Tahoe City, you are minutes to the Lake and restaurants, and close to Chambers Landing and Meeks Bay with great sandy beaches, BBQ grills, incredible views, and a day full of bliss.
The house is chalet-style and has an open floor plan that can accommodate your family and friends well. The 22 foot cathedral ceilings, and floor to ceiling windows, with expansive wrap around deck offer a great house to enjoy the spectacular views from. With 2 sliding glass doors, the sunny deck becomes an extension of the great room with lots of patio furniture, BBQ, and privacy. There is a large 2 car garage with extra parking, and 40 foot enclosed walkway for easy access to your cars in the wintertime.
As you walk in the front door, you are greeted by a Spanish tile hallway leading to 3 bedrooms. There are 2 bedrooms with queen beds, each with a TV, sliding glass door that exits out to a deck. Here you can enjoy a hot tub with wonderful views. In the wintertime, you can watch skiers short cut home from Alpine Meadows through the front yard, and in the summertime you can watch squirrels climb the trees. Down the hall is laundry home, full bath, sauna area and another bedroom with queen bed,TV and twin. The sauna is a good size with 2 levels with enough room to spread out in. Next to the sauna is a changing area and with a 'Finnish' touch. Cool off in the shower room with four shower heads and glass atrium that looks out into the forest. It's a great way to end a non stop day. The changing area is also connected to a full bathroom.
The second level is the Great Room and that it is. With 22 foot cathedral ceilings with floor to ceiling windows you won't be able to keep your eyes off the beautiful views of Twin Peaks . Bring your binoculars to view the occasional extreme skiers who will snow mobile up the mountain range and ski down, and the incredible sights of wildlife year around. Two sliding glass doors exit out to a sunny wrap around deck with a barbecue, and patio furniture which is used in summer and winter. This level has the kitchen, living area and dining area all looking out to the views. The granite countertop kitchen is fully stocked and overlooks the living and dining area. The living area has a leather sectional and faces a large stone fireplace and 55" HDTV. The crackling sound of wood burning is a treat. The dining area is 1/2 nook with pillows, bench and chairs. You can eat here, or relax here. It all faces an entertainment center with TV. From all areas in the main area, you can watch TV, enjoy the fireplace and views, or socialize with the rest of your group.
Off the living area is another full bath attached to a bedroom with queen bed and TV. Next to that room is the Master Bedroom. There is a King-size sleigh bed with TV, half bath off a changing area, and walk in closet. Indirect lighting and views of the forest make this room a bonus. Up the stairs from the living area, is a loft with pool table, TV, and two twin beds. The loft is private from downstairs and you can play pool during the day, and use the room for sleeping at night. Kids love it here.
Because Lake Tahoe's motto is just 'play hard' extra attention has been given to a great bed and a good nights sleep. All the bedding is Hotel Style with memory foam mattress pad, luxury 300 count sheets, 4 down or down alternative pillows, duvet, and bed throw. You'll feel like you're in an upscale hotel.
There is wireless internet, 7 TV's on DISH , washer and dryer, as well as upgraded towels, and extra niceties to make your stay enjoyable. When you arrive at the house, all beds are made, towels hung, and coffee service is provided for your first morning. The furnishings are user friendly with plenty of seating for your family and friends. High ceilings with large wooden beams, triangle shaped windows, and mountain decor compliment the 'Tahoe' feeling. The location and amenities of this home makes this a great vacation home year-round. cert 2691

Fall visit to Tahoe City
This was the perfect house for our Fall getaway to Tahoe. It's a beautiful location, great for walks and enjoying scenic views. Located in a quiet and safe neighborhood. The house was perfectly fitted for our family and offered so many things to do inside the house and around the property and neighborhood. Our 3 and 4 year old girls managed just fine in the house. Our parents who are senior citizens also got around just fine. Lots of stairs, but expected in Tahoe, especially homes in the mountains. The walk from the driveway to the front door is no different than if staying at a hotel. The kitchen was well equipped and the common area was comfortable and cozy. We hope to come back again this winter, definitely ski in ski out house for experienced skiers and riders.

Twin Peaks Perfection
I'm sitting on the sofa, drinking a cup of coffee and looking at the view of Twin Peaks in all of its glory. I know I need to pack, but I never want to leave. I love this house and the neighborhood. The location is amazing! It's close to the West Side restaurants and beaches, but a few miles up the mountain so you're surrounded by beauty and serenity. The home is spacious and fit our party of 8 with plenty of room left over. The kitchen was well stocked so we were able cook most of our meals at home. We loved the hot tub and sauna after a long day of hiking. Such a wonderful vacation property. Thank you Sandy for an amazing week.
