Dream House is truly one of a kind. It's more them a home it's a destination. Close to all the amenities that SLT has to offer, but but conveniently nestled on a private wooded lot surrounded by USFS and Conservancy land. Weather you are looking for a Romantic spot to share with that special someone, or looking for a quiet spot to find solitude and meditate on all the beauty and splendor that Tahoe has to offer, or just looking for a 3,800 sq foot private spacious house with plenty of nooks and crannies to accommodate large groups of family or friends you need not look any further. The home features open beam ceilings, custom kitchen with bar counter that looks out to the forest and gets plenty of sun in the morning, for for enjoying your morning coffee. 3 bedrooms,2 bathrooms, Home theater room with surround sound, Pool table and Ping ping table, Large covered Hot tub, Gym equipped with assortment of workout machines, dumbbells from 5lbs to 60lbs, and a rower , Two car garage, separate down stairs area with bedroom and living room with flat screen and glass sliding door that leads to Hot tub and on property Creek. Master bedroom has King bed with Gas fireplace, Skylights, Jacuzzi tub in the bedroom and view of the Creek. Sit in the tub, light some candles and listen to the sound of the creek with someone special,"Very Romantic". The house has 3 Gas Fireplaces, 5 Smart TVs, with a 75" flat screen in the living room, and a 100" screen in the Home Theater room. There are 3 large decks with patio furniture to sit outside and enjoy the trees and the sounds of the creek. A Hammock, Park bench and a Table for two are positioned parallel to the creek. Also there is a detached 20 by 20 Deck platform positioned under a circle of 50 foot pine trees,with a circular patio day bed, chairs and a gas fire pit. It is the perfect spot to bird watch, feed the squirrels or just take a nap. I believe that this circle of trees might of planted decades ago by the native American Indians that habituated this part of the country. It is a very special spot. There is also RV parking with 50amp service. The house is situated two houses from the end of a cal de sac with walking and biking trials down the the Truckee River.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
If you have any questions about the property or would like to personally go over anything with me before you book please email me to billbatkin at the mail that starts at yah and ends in oo.

Tahoe is about to pull you in all different directions. Here, you can rock climb in the heart of downtown and rock out on the top of a mountain. Make art and destroy monotony. Paddleboard and crowd surf. the opportunities to get outside are endless. Long, summer days mean hikes in the foothills or along the Tahoe Rim Trail, mountain biking in some of the most epic terrain, or chilling (literally) at Lake Tahoe, whether on the beach or on the water. Shorter days and colder temperatures are what really get us going. Did you know the Lake Tahoe region has the largest concentration of ski slopes in North America? No matter the season, there’s someplace to explore that will make you wonder why you booked your stay with us.

Fantastic Getaway Home

Bill's home was perfect for our large family! We enjoyed playing pool, ping pong, the in-home theater and lots of space to just spend time together. This house had amazing access to several hiking trails, leading to streams and a lake, perfect her swimming. Thank you!

Amazing stay!

We had an awesome stay at this house in South Lake Tahoe! It was super clean and comfy for our group of 15 and our dog. The place had everything we needed to have a great time. We loved the pool table, ping pong, and hot tub — there was always something fun to do. The fire pit was perfect for cool evenings, and the BBQ grill was great. The kitchen was fantastic, with a waffle maker and three coffee options, which was a huge plus. It was fully stocked with everything we needed. Overall, it was a perfect spot for our group, and we’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great stay in Tahoe. We can't wait to come back!

Wonderful Home

We had a very pleasant stay at Bill’s home. The house was older but it was clean and very spacious. There were plenty of board games and activities to keep our children occupied. We loved the kitchen- it was well stocked from eating utensil's, pots/pans, etc. I would definitely recommend this home and would stay here again if we are ever in the area.

Kid's Delight

Got a super friendly tour of cabin at check-in which helped us settle in. We were here with a few families with young kids, ranging from age3 to 6. They had a blast exploring in the snowy side-yard and spacious interior. Hot Tub worked perfectly and kept at warm temp. Views out windows is of forest (not other cabins) making it feel like a full mountain retreat!

Family Reunion

The accommodations were perfect for our family and the location was great. Close to the river and to Pope Beach. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes and pots & pans. It would be helpful to know the oven is a convection oven & having instructions available would be really helpful. The home was very clean but does need some repair. We utilized all the outdoor facilities as well and would definitely come back again.

Amazing Stay!

I had such an amazing stay here at Bill's property. He has all the things that we need, from amazing views, spacious and cozy rooms, a full kitchen, a theater room, gym, pool, and ping pong table to the warm, hot jacuzzi. Everything seemed intentional and well thought out for guests to enjoy. Everything was utilized during my stay, and I wished that we could have stayed longer! The trip ended way too early! It was a wonderful getaway from reality. Bill's property is also in a good location where the grocery store is around the corner, which made things so much easier when tending to a big crowd! Bill's communication is amazing and very responsive if there is anything wrong. I will recommend it and will book again with Bill.

Health and Safety Hazzard

The house is not well kept, it was dirty, there were many safety issues especially for children: exposed wires, faulty wiring causing power surge to fry electronic devices, wobbly steps up to the house, maggots in the house, giant ant infestation, a garage full of dangerous boards with nails sticking out, many outlets didn’t work, not enough towels, the host did not respond to texts concerning power outages and towels, renovations inside were definitely up to code. The kitchen was okay, the couch was comfy, the theater was nice but it was so hot and stuffy, lots of room in the family area. The air conditioner didn’t work possibly because the air filter was clogged and filthy, the vacuum didn’t work because the charger for it was wet. The manager did show up after not responding for 24 hours to bring towels. Overall my worst vacation rental experience by far, first time using Vrbo.

Great Lake Tahoe dream house within a couple of minutes to downtown and casinos

Spent the weekend at this Dream house and it truly is a dream house the owner Bill greeted us as we arrive to show us around the house and teaches how to use all the many gadgets he has around the house to make sure our stay was comfortable many host just give you a code to get into the house and then you don't hear from them. Bill wanted to make sure that we were comfortable throughout our stay from beginning to end. He wanted to make sure we're able to use the house to the fullest potential so we can have a great weekend. We ran out of propane the second night we call Bill and within a few minutes he came and drop off a new tank even though the roads were covered with snow. The house is great with lots of space for everyone to enjoy it was five families and not at one point did we feel crowded the kids enjoy the theater room had a movie nights watching lots of movies on Netflix and eating popcorn as the adults hang around in the living room playing pool and cooking dinner. It snowed while we were there so the kids were able play outside having snowball fights, building snowman and sliding down the hill on the side of the house. Many times we have gone to Lake Tahoe and had to go look for a snow park or area far from the house for the kids to play it was great that the when the kids wanted to play in the snow all they needed to do was step outside lots of area for them to play and area for sledding on the property. The house has six bedrooms. 2 in the third floor 3 in the main floor and one in the lower floor with a living room and kitchen. All the rooms were spaces and the beds were comfortable the theater room is located in the main floor next to the living room. The layout of the house is great where you can have people in the theater room others playing pool others in the living room hanging out and still be all together not feeling crowded great for families. We will definitely stay here again aleady planning our next weekend getaway at this Dream house.

Adequate but needs maintenance

I brought a group of eight adults here for four nights in March 2023 for a ski trip. This property was adequate for us, and the space provided the basics. We liked the ease of communication with the host, convenient location, the ease of entry and exit, large common areas with plenty of seating, the well-equipped kitchen, good wi-fi, the large TVs and theater room, the hot tub, and the pool table. The snow clearing—no doubt a difficult task during this record winter—was also adequate, and we were able to get both of our cars into the driveway and garage. However, it’s clear that maintenance is an afterthought. The house is showing its age, with several easily fixed problems: the oven did not work (though the broiler did); the dishwasher was improperly mounted into the counter and had a broken lower rack (loading and unloading was a constant struggle); the clothes washer’s drum often went off track (manually remounting was possible); the clothes dryer took twice as long to dry clothes than normal and showed a warning light indicating a blocked vent (a fire hazard); the gas fireplaces in the bedrooms were inoperable; and a fine veneer of dust was visible throughout the house. The one zone for heating in the main areas, spanning three floors and four bedrooms, meant that the lower level was too cool while the upper level was too warm. Other more minor issues built upon the overall lack of care. We also found it odd that in lieu of written instructions for checking in and out, how to work the wi-fi and TVs, etc., that a friend of the host met us on our arrival to show us around and give verbal instructions. The general lack of attention to maintenance (major and minor) and cleaning did not work for my group. Blocking off a week for a thorough inspection, followed by visits from a handyman and appliance repair person, and stepping up the routine cleaning would make a huge difference for minimal effort. This property would be great for a summer getaway for families with kids, likely its bread and butter, but it was not quite up to our expectations.

What we expected and needed

This house is very large and can accommodate many people. We were a large group of adult men and loved the tv room and other entertainment options at the house. The house had everything we needed. I am a bed snob and all of these beds were very comfortable. Check in process could be more streamlined but definitely not a reason to avoid the rental. Rental is about 15-20 mins from downtown/casinos so if you want to be close to that, this is a stretch but there are grocery options fairly close by. Great extended weekend here and would stay here again.

Family Stay

My family was excited for South Lake Tahoe this August. The house itself was underwhelming but amenities of billiards table, ping pong, gym, trampoline, play house, fire pit, bbq and hot tub were great!! Checkin and communication were excellent! The main downside of the house was the heat. The weather was 77°-84° but even with windows open and fans going (particularly upstairs) it was over 96° after 10pm in the upstairs rooms (including the kids bunk room) and wasn’t cooling down making it hard to sleep for some. The basement was kept cool, but the main floor areas were hot making it so our group broke off instead of spending time all together in one space. In the future we’ll definitely look for a place with AC during summer trips. I imagine this would be a great place during the winter months!

Great Stay

Check in/out process was easy and was communicated properly. The house was a bit older and some areas needed some attention but was comfortable enough to enjoy our stay. Location was a bit far off from main attractions but that's exactly what we wanted. Plenty of parking available in the back as well as lawn area.
