About this property

Gray Bear Lake View By Tahoe Getaways - 5 BR 5.5 Bath w Private Hot Tub and Lake Access

A truly exceptional lake view vacation home, Gray Bear Estate is designed to deliver the ultimate vacation experience. The open concept living area sits upstairs, with the expansive Chef's kitchen at the heart of the home. Outfitted with an eight burner Wolf range, butcher block island, mahogany bar seating four, and formal dining area for eight, we expect many evenings to be spent enjoying a home cooked meal. Adjacent, a cozy seating area surrounds a rock wall with gas log fireplace, large wall mounted flat screen, and views of Lake Tahoe beyond. Escape to the downstairs copper topped bar with seating for four, air hockey table, flat screen TV, and gas fireplace.

Upstairs from the main living area, the spacious Primary bedroom feels like your own private sanctuary within the Estate. A King bed faces floor to ceiling windows revealing tree filtered lake views. A gas fireplace, flat screen television, and large walk-in closet make the space especially comfortable. The ensuite bath includes a jetted tub, shower, separate water closet and designated make-up vanity. A second King guest suite complete with a new flat screen TV and ensuite bath is located on this floor as well.

The third and fourth Primary style suites are located on the home's lower level, both with King beds, fireplaces, televisions, and ensuite bathrooms of their own. Also on this floor, the bunk room is perfect for the younger travelers, and has its own bathroom with tub. Looking for a quiet retreat to get some work done? A built in office nook sits off the kitchen.

And the fun doesn't end indoors! Off of the main living area, there is an outdoor kitchen and bar seating perfect for a sunset happy hour. During the summer months, take advantage of the picturesque view from the expansive deck, with patio dining and oversized lounge furniture. Follow the short steps down to the secluded public beach below. And year round, end your day with a relaxing soak in the hot tub, located on the lower level deck.

Relax at the lake

Good location but hard to get in and out front drive. Park in back off Ferguson. Lots of space for everyone. Some street noise. Plenty of fans since no AC. Hot tub could use repair on jets but overall we loved our stay.

70th Birthday Celebration With Close Friends

This is a beautiful, beautiful house! Very spacious and thoughtfully appointed. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need to feed a large group. The master bedroom is palatial. All the other bedrooms are extremely nice and each one has its own bathroom. Everyone loved their stay here. We’re all talking about coming back.

Awesome, Well-Appointed Home to Accommodate Discerning Guests

We really enjoyed our time at Gray Bear Lake View Estate. This is an excellent home for a multi-family stay. All of the rooms have en suite bathrooms and fireplaces. No one gets the short end of the stick here, although the master bedroom is a real show-stopper. We especially enjoyed the chef's kitchen as well. This is a great cabin for those families that love to cook and gather. The owner keeps the home well-stocked with high-quality cookware, utensils, etc. The bedding is also high-end and very comfortable. The home is on North Lake Blvd, so pulling in and out can be a little tricky, but that would in no way prevent us from staying here again. We are already planning a return trip!

Beautiful home with a view

The home was clean and comfortable for my large family. It was convenient to have a full bathroom for each bedroom and the open layout of the kitchen, dining, and living room allowed us to all be together in a common area. It was also in a great location, just a 5 minute stroll to the lake and close to a grocery store. Would love to come back here again!

Family Thanksgiving

Booked this property to have family from all over gather for Thanksgiving. The house far exceeded our expectations. The kitchen is amazing and great for a large group. The layout was so great no one bumped into each other while fixing the holiday meal. The living room is great for gathering. Every bedroom functions like a suite with its own bathroom. Location of the home is also wonderful. Close to lots of hiking trails and to grocery shopping. Hope to come back again!

Lake lodgers

The size of the house was just right for our sibling reunion. The location on a busy street was an unwelcome surprise. The “lake view” was a stretch. The deck itself was outstanding and we spent a lot of time there. Little details seemed to be overlooked such as: dining chairs were very stained (white is tough for rentals) and “clean dishes” were not clean. When we arrived the garbage bin was full making it hard to add anything throughout the week. The front door sticks and must be pushed hard to open. The garage keypad didn’t work (battery?). The main room fireplace had paper towels and rocks stuffed in the igniter hole —- very strange. Considering the high price of the VRBO - the place needs some attention to the little things which make a difference during a visit.

Wonderful spacious cabin

Can't say enough good things about the Gray Bear estate, we loved it. Humongous kitchen and common area and big bedrooms with TVs and fireplaces in each. Big deck with views of the lake and a great grill and outdoor bar set up. We'll definitely be returning!

Wonderful home with awesome kitchen and plenty of beds and bathrooms.

A large house with plenty of room. Has everything you need for a great time. The gourmet kitchen was very impressive but does need new pots and pans. The house is close to the highway so you do have road noise, mainly in the front bedrooms.

Wonderful House

We spent 10 days over Christmas 2022 and had a wonderful experience. The home was just as advertised! The kitchen was fully equipped for large group cooking. The 3 king bedrooms with bathrooms were very nice. The bunkroom was a little tight but OK for young kids. The primary bedroom was very large and spacious. We had plenty of extra linens and bedding if needed. The management company was very responsive before and during the rental. We only had a couple of small issues which were resolved quickly.

Fabulous home for family attending one son's wedding

The home is stunning and we were there with my parents, 3 adult sons and spouses for one son's wedding, down the street. Plenty of space for cooking and visiting, and great bedrooms for when you need space to yourself. We hope to return here someday as every one of us loved the house and the ease of arrival.

Great Holiday Stay

My family and I stayed at the Gray Bear Estate to welcome the New Year. While we lost 2 days because of the post-snowstorm road closures, we were delighted to have this home away from home as soon as we arrived. The home had a nice open floor plan on the main floor that allowed for everyone to be together even if some were cooking, another watching TV and/or others seated at dining. We also really enjoyed the outdoor space even though (overtime because) it was buried under a few feet of snow. Rooms were comfortable and bathrooms well appointed. We also appreciated having 2 sets of washer and dryers. Kitchen had basically everything we needed and it was so convenient to have grocery stores only 10 mins away in both directions. The driveway was a little difficult to navigate having 2 large SUVs and it took some time for us to figure out which light switch controlled what. At the end of the day, we would love to stay here again. Highly recommended!

Wonderful reunion

This home is lovely. It's one back from the lake so you are VERY close to the water. The kitchen is terrific, and the beds all comfortable. The huge outside deck was a big plus too. What made this an especially easy and pleasant experience was the very wonderful customer service. All questions cheerfully answered, always able to reach.

Great house for entertaining

Kitchen is a chefs dream! Upper deck is huge with multiple seating areas and an outdoor grill under a roof! Dining room and living room very open to the kitchen. Separate bar area with another patio downstairs. Rooms separate from entertaining area. Bathrooms galore! Beds super comfortable. Only downside is no A/C for summer visits, and cobwebs were everywhere. Location was great too, just a block away from beach access!

Beautiful house near the lake

We really enjoyed this property - it was beautifully appointed and we enjoyed the deck. We were able to access the beach but we did miss not having access to a dock so we could sit out on the lake (the beach is very rocky). I appreciated how responsive the Tahoe Properties management company was to our questions.
