Luxury vacation home. Walk out your door to and walk or bike on hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails in acres of National Forest.
Everything in this custom house is premium and over sized. Extra tall walls and vaulted ceilings. Two large decks for al fresco dining and a giant hot tub.
Three large private master suites — all three have their own bathrooms, two have their own spa tubs. Plus a bonus room with two sets of bunk beds (so four twin beds) - perfect for sleepovers.

HIKING: There is a terrific loop trail that starts from the house for a good evening walk. Walk out the front door and go up April Drive to the top of the loop. Go left and through the gate. Make a right and follow the trail through the woods. Cross the stream and continue on. When you get to the major intersection where the signs are make a left back towards the house. Follow this trail until reaches Heavenly. There is a great lookout here of the lake and sunset from the top of the rocks. You can then head left back to the house where you started.

My family had an amazing stay at Danny’s beautiful home! Danny was communicative and helpful with anything that came up. The house is spacious and on a street with access to a nice trail. Everything is drivable from this location. Thank you Danny for sharing this gem!
This house was 5 star overall. We didn't want for anything. Plenty of supplies to cook with, and the grill and hot tub was a plus. The location was close to everything yet the neighborhood was peaceful. The owner was receptive to any of our needs. I would stay here again!
We had a great time. House was perfect for my family. Very clean. Owner always got back to me quickly if I had any questions. Great experience at Lake Tahoe and will have lots of fun memories!
House is spacious and in nice condition, which made for a very comfortable stay. It's also a two minute walk from some nice hiking trails. Danny was very communicative and friendly. Only negative is significant traffic noise from Pioneer Trail, which has become busy all hours of the day and night (especially Fridays). Probably not an issue if it is cool enough to close the windows at night.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
Loved Tahoe!
For the most part it was great! Loved the kitchen and great room. Three of the bedrooms were very nice and comfortable. The fourth bedroom was a disappointment and we were told ahead that it was less private but It said there was a twin bed and bunk beds. Instead there were two bunk beds. There was no other furniture in the room to put things or a chair. This was ok for kids but not adults. Need more table knifes. Loved the hot tub! Had a great week.
Great house in a great location close to everything on the south side of the lake with plenty of room for a large family. Danny was very responsive to questions and easy to work with. Would definitely stay here again!
This is a great house and the communication with the owner was amazing. Everything you need! Hot tub, 3 master suites and bunk beds for the kids. The beds are better then at home! Top of the line appliances and a tankless water heater so everyone can take a shower at once! It’s only minutes from Everything! Definitely stay here again!!
Perfect central location to casinos, bike park, hiking trails, restaurants and stores. The layout of the cabin was ideal for our group, parents on the main floor and adult children and teens on the lower level. Comfortable furniture and beds, we hated to leave!
I honestly can’t imagine anyone giving this less than 5 stars. I would of given it 100 stars if possible. I’m not sure how this house could be anymore updated per the last review. Everything was new, clean, and just amazing. It was in such a great location for the lake, and for getting around town. The owner himself was in constant contact with us when we needed him due to the wildfires. He made us feel safe, and offered any help he possibly could to make our stay better. I have 0 suggestions on improvement, and when we return to Lake Tahoe we will absolutely be booking with you again. Thank you so much again for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home and giving us such a great experience!!!
Everything is perfect. Some maintenance could be done to make the place even better. Like the broken garage door button. And note that the bunk beds are actually in public area, not really a separate room.
Our family enjoyed our brief stay. Upstairs master bedroom, downstairs junior master, 3 rd downstairs bedroom all are nice. The downstairs bunk bed area would be great for young kids that don’t need privacy.
Our overall experience was great. However, I would not classify where the bunk beds are located as a "bedroom" because there is not door on the room and essentially it was a recreation room converted into a bedroom. So, unfortunately, If you have young children you can't go out to the hot tub to enjoy the night sky and once the children are down the for night you have to be very quiet because the noise travels up the stairs.
Also, the barbecue does need some repair. I am a jewelry and have a great deal of knowledge as to how flames work and it is not putting out enough heat to grill a hot dog. Other than that - it is a terrific plact to stay. Thank you

Great place for a snowy weekend
This was my second time staying at this property. It has a nice open and inviting common area on the second floor. The kitchen is great for cooking meals while socializing with everyone. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice place to relax after a day of skiing or boarding.
The place was just as advertised and a great location! Would stay again. Only issue we had was the grill may need a line from the gas tank replaced as the flame would not get very warm and thus took longer for grilling. But really would not call this an inconvenience.

Beautiful cabin, great location, super roomy and comfortable.
We enjoyed the layout and three master bedroom suites. The price was well worth it! The info on the hot tub was conflicting in the book than on the refrigerator so we were unable to access for two nights as the we were using the book’s info. We used it the last night, but it wasn’t hot enough. The stove was a little finicky as was the garage door controls. These were picky little things because it was overall well stocked and super accommodating. I would highly recommend this place!

Great place for the whole family! Close to downtown and lots of activities!
We were very pleased with the April street house. All 8 of us had enough space to relax as needed. It was great to be able to cook in a big kitchen and to have everyone eat all at once at the same table! We enjoyed the close trail and all the activities that were near by.

Beautiful Home in a Perfect location!
A beautiful home in a perfect location in South Lake Tahoe! Not many homes have 3 masters with bathrooms and a room with 2 bunk beds for the kids. It is the perfect place to bring multiple families! Will definitely be back!

April
The king master bedroom smelled of smoke and the rear sliding glass door would not lock. I immediately called the cell phone number given, but didn't receive an answer. Our party consisted of eight senior female cousins and we were extremely concerned sleeping in an unsecured house. On our last day I called again and spoke to the owner.

About the host
Hosted by Danny McNamara
My family has had a vacation home in South Lake Tahoe since I was 10 years old. 20 years ago, my father moved there permanently. For the past 10 years, my father and I have been building homes in Tahoe and selling them. But this one I built for myself and my family (that's my wife and new daughter in the photo). I work in Advertising in San Francisco and manage other family vacation homes for many years.
Why they chose this property
Location, location, location! We decided two years ago to build a house for ourselves. After months of searching we found the perfect lot. It's near Heavenly Ski Resort (where I've had season passes for many years and from where I can ski from the mountain to the house) and off Pioneer Trail (providing quick and direct access to the Bay Area, the mountains, the lake and the Casinos while avoiding Hwy 50). It also has miles and miles of hiking and biking trails right from the front door. Which was very important to our family. After all, what's a vacation home if it's in the city?
