Tahoe’s Ahwahnee was constructed and modeled with Yosemite’s grand lodge, The Ahwahnee, in mind. With a distinct and wonderful feeling in their own Tahoe lodge, the attention to detail is apparent throughout the house. The first floor features hand-planed pecan floors and a spectacular granite stone, wood-burning fireplace. In addition to granite and limestone counters throughout the house, the primary suite bath has handset tumbled stone mosaics. To top it off, the unobstructed panoramic lake view is unsurpassed. In fact, you can enjoy this beautiful lake view from every room in the house.
The house is also great for family fun. The bunk room features pine log bunk beds, a hand painted mural of local flora and fauna, and hand-carved bear cubs and squirrels. Other carved pieces throughout the home include the family room mantel, staircase panels and great room support posts. The children’s bath and family entry include petroglyph story tiles of mountains and animals etched into the slate. The kitchen features a large cook top island and top-of-the-line specialty appliances. The beds in all the bedrooms are so cozy you may never want to leave. This is not just a rental, it is a home that the owners are willing to share with our guests. This home is our slice of heaven.
Centrally located, Tahoe’s Ahwahnee vacation rental is ideally located for year-round enjoyment. In the winter you’ll find many options for world-class skiing with Northstar California, Palisades Tahoe, Homewood Mountain Resort, and Diamond Peak Resort all less than 15 miles away. The cross-country ski center is only two miles away and many trails for snowshoeing and snowmobiling can be discovered from the neighborhood. In the summer, biking and hiking trails surround the home. Common’s Beach, with farmers’ markets, outdoor music, Truckee River rafting, and kayak rentals, is just four miles down the road, along with the shops, ropes course and restaurants of downtown Tahoe City. Kings Beach (with abundant water recreational rentals/activities and golf), Nevada stateline and casinos on Tahoe’s North Shore are less than eight miles from the home. Additionally, beautiful Incline Village and its Championship Golf Course in Nevada are just twelve miles from the house. Or, spend the afternoon visiting historic downtown Truckee with boutique shops carrying the works of local artisans, a wide array of dining options and landmarks & museums that showcase the area’s rich history.
