About this property

TAHOE LAKEFRONT + Walk to Tahoe City + Pier w/Buoys/Pool/Tennis/Pickleball

Our Tavern Shores townhome is perfect for families and gatherings. We have set it up for the sole purpose of having fun and relaxation.

Enjoy views of Lake Tahoe during your days, walk to some great restaurants at night, and when you wake up to go skiing the snow will be removed for you. Right in the heart of Tahoe City, this 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom Lakefront Townhouse is located in the Tavern Shores Development on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe! You can walk out the back sliding glass doors of this home, cross the lawn, then onto the private beach and slip into Lake Tahoe, or view it from the pier. The large lawn is a great place for your kids to play games and sports year-round, while you enjoy a drink on the back porch and watch the alpenglow on the mountains across the lake.

It is within easy walking distance of all shops and restaurants in Tahoe City. Tesla Supercharging Station is also a 5 minute walk away across the street from Safeway (end of summer 2024).

Truckee River Raft trips begin across the street. There are some great bike trails that go along the Truckee River, and West Shore. Tahoe Rim Trail access is across the street for mountain biking or hiking. One of our favorite hikes is a small trail that goes along the south side of the Truckee River (good for fishing too). All summer water toys (kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, etc.) can be rented at the public beach in Tahoe City (less than 10 minutes walk) and paddled back to our pier. Palisades Tahoe (Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley) Ski Resorts are a short 10-15 minute drive from the townhouse. Homewood Ski Area is less than 10 minutes away. Tahoe City Transit Center is within walking distance and you can pick up free local shuttles to nearby towns and Palisades Tahoe.

You can play tennis or pickleball on one of the courts and swim in the heated swimming pool during the summer. Your kids can ride their scooters and bikes on paved trails throughout the development or play games on the huge lawn. Your whole family will love hanging out at the private beach and pier, swimming, playing volleyball on the sand court next to the water or catching crawdads from the end of the pier. In the winter, step out of the back of the house and enjoy snow play or cross country skiing.

This is a fully furnished 2 story town home (there are 4 town homes in our pod) that has great mountain/lake views from the living room, master bedroom, and guest bedroom. It has 4 bedrooms, and two and a half baths, fully equipped kitchen, dining room (big dining table with room for everyone), living room with gas fireplace, wooden upper level balcony, and back patio. The kitchen and all bathrooms are modern. The kitchen has Caesarstone counters and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen, living room and dining room are opened to one another, allowing a large space for gathering. A half bath is also downstairs. All 4 bedrooms and laundry room are upstairs. Two bedrooms face Lake Tahoe - the master bedroom has a California king sized bed, and the guest bedroom has a queen bed. Of the other two bedrooms, one bedroom has another queen bed while the 4th bedroom has 4 built in bunk beds. The house sleeps 10 people in all. Your rental will be inclusive of all bed linens and towels. There is a gas barbecue on the back patio, as well as a table and chairs for your outdoor dining pleasure amid the backdrop of the alpenglow at sunset. There is a flat screen smart TV in the living room and another flat screen TV with Roku streaming in the master bedroom. High capacity washing and drying machines are available for your use. There is plenty of parking steps from the townhouse. Guests are not allowed to bring pets (homeowners association rule). During boating season, you can tie your motorboat to the buoy, and can come and go from the pier with help from the pier attendant. The HOA will charge renters a mooring fee and we can help you reserve a buoy beforehand. There is a local phone line and high speed cable internet WIFI throughout the house. Cell phones with all major carriers work well.

Dining: There are numerous restaurants and coffee houses within easy walking distance of the house, including: River Grill & Bridgetender (both about a 3 minute walk), Jakes on the Lake, Tahoe House Bakery, Rosie's, Wolfdale’s, Sand Bar, Christy Hill, and more.

* 10% Placer County taxes and 2% Tourism Improvement (TBID) Assessment will be added to the reservation.

Family Thanksgiving

The home was just what we wanted for our Family Thanksgiving this year. It was truly walking distance from town, even with the snow from the weekend before, an easy walk. The house was roomy & equipped with all the amenities that we would want. From the kitchen to the big screen TV to the board games! We will definitely want to come back here again!

Nice place, storage limited

We really enjoyed our stay. Jane was easy to deal with, allowed early check-in and check-out which was nice. Nicely furnished and comfortable place, loved the pier and the pickleball courts. Location was wonderful with access to bike trails and close to stores. Only downside was a lack of storage, especially in the kitchen.

Ideal Tahoe Getaway Location

Through the years, eight or more of my family members have gathered somewhere in the North Tahoe area for a reunion week of fun and adventure. Currently we are ages 14 and up. We have stayed in multiple different locations including Tahoe Donner, Dollar Point, Tahoe City and Incline among other places. Out of the numerous places we have rented, we all agreed this was the best on multiple levels. When booking, we were a bit skeptical there would be enough room for the nine people in our party this to spread out, but the layout and efficiency of the townhome easily fulfilled our needs. Plus there was plenty of WiFi bandwidth to support multiple people taking summer school classes and working online. Not only was the townhome comfortable, it was quiet, well maintained and well appointed. From a well stocked kitchen to nice linens to beach towels, outdoor equipment and board games, we were not left wanting. Best of all was the facility and location. Every morning we would awaken to our view of the sun rising over the lake from across a park-like common area. It was an easy walk across the grass to stroll along the private pier or to access the lake itself. We were able to have paddle boards delivered for the week by Tahoe Paddleboard and then take them out whenever we wanted. We also rented some kayaks for a day from a rental facility a short paddle distance away from our pier. In the afternoon we could enjoy the heated pool and then barbecue on the patio. To cap it off we would watch the distant hills across the lake light up from our living room as the sun went down. It is hard to believe the serenity of the unit given it is only a stones throw away from the intersection of 89 and 23. Being so close to downtown Tahoe City definitely has its advantages. We could easily walk to the store or to restaurants in the downtown area. We could also easily walk 15 minutes south on 89 to Tahoe House Bakery & Gourmet, a fantastic bakery with an amazing assortment of freshly baked croissants and other goodies. Most other places we have stayed required hopping in a car to do anything outside of being in our rented cabin or walking around an isolated neighborhood. it was definitely worth paying a little more to create so many different walkable options for different people at a moment’s notice. We will definitely stay here again. I’m not sure we would want to stay anywhere else now.

This is the place you're looking for!

TLDR: This vacation rental is everything you want and more so jump on it. The listing images, location and reviews ultimately led me to book this rental for our family end-of-summer trip. We were a group of adults, teens and little kids and so access to activities and space to get away from each other were top of the list priorities. Right away, the communication from Jane was so thorough and thoughtful, I felt confident in making our 10+ hour drive to Lake Tahoe. Getting into the rental was a breeze and it was pleasant and clean, waiting for our arrival. The house is so comfortable! Both in it's layout and ample beds/bedrooms but also in how well appointed it was. The hosts really thought of everything a person would need during their stay - from the fully stocked kitchen to the ample towels and linens, the games and even rafting tubes! The home sits just across a lush lawn from the lake with private dock access and across the street from the Truckee river access. Walking to the grocery store, restaurants, and cafes is quick and easy and with parking next to the unit, loading in and out is a breeze. Don't hesitate and you won't be disappointed, promise.

Great location

Tahoe city is a perfect location for a family to enjoy outdoor activities. The lawn between the property and the pier is awesome for playing bocci ball or just hanging out. There is a pickle ball court within 200 yards of the back patio. We loved our stay. We had to wait a bit to check in because it was a busy time of year and the house cleaners were backed up, but otherwise it was awesome for our family.

The accomodations were great but a fair amount of road noise from road construction on the street side of the home. Perhaps this is only temporary. Otherwise all was good. Thank you

Wonderful family home to enjoy the ski slopes and explore Lake Tahoe!

We stayed for 8 nights over Christmas and New Year. Only 10 minutes drive from Squaw Valley. The facilities of Tahoe City are all within an easy walk, plus there are loads of other things to keep the kids entertained such as sledding and tree adventures. I highly recommend this as a base for any family or group of friends to visit the Tahoe area!! Couldn't have been better!

Wonderful family vacation home

The home was perfectly set up for a family. The bathrooms were newly remodeled and spacious. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook great meals. Also the location of the property is spectacular. Great views of the lake, an easy walk to rent kayaks and paddle boards, and into town. We also were just a few minutes from some beautiful hikes. All in all a great vacation home!

Perfect Family Vacation Home!

We loved our stay at this home! Tavern Shores is the best location on the lake, and this home is very nicely updated and in one of the best locations in the development! Wake up and stare out at the lake with your cup of coffee, walk down to the pier or into town for shopping, dining or other fun. Love having the huge community lawn behind - and there is a nice little beach and volleyball court just across the lawn at the foot of the pier. It's quieter than being over in the Tahoe Tavern side, which is also really nice! Also very close to the pool! We walked to river rafting, into town a couple of nights for dinner, and just loved everything about our stay! We will be back for sure!!!! Thank you!

Perfect Family Vacation Spot

This property is really something!!We've spend a fair amount of time at Tahoe in the last 20 years, year-round, including hotel and condo-lodging at S. and N. Shore, Squaw Valley, Sunnyside, etc., and our stay here was one of the best of any so far.The location is excellent, groceries are within walking distance and the store has an amazing selection of fresh and gourmet foods, for example La Brea breads.We walked to our favorite local coffee store every morning as well, where they serve Illy coffee w/a smile.With quick access to the bike/walking trail along the river, again, the location could not be better.The unit was very quiet and has plenty of parking.The kitchen is especially well-equipped, there was not one item we needed and could not find, lots of extra dishes, silverware, etc.The decor is tasteful yet comfortable, the bathrooms are especially nice and well done.Linens are more than ample, we did run out of shower, cleaning and paper supplies and trash bags, which you are expected to replenish.One of the queen beds is more of a futon and slightly less comfortable but just fine for those who can sleep anywhere.The grassy area right in front of the unit was perfect for the 2 pre-schoolers in our family, as well as the "sand-pit" for playing, as the beach right there is rocky but no problem w/shoes on.We brought a boat, dock service to and from the mooring was prompt and convenient.Views of the lake are excellent, especially at sunset!We'd return to this property in a heartbeat, any time of year!

Wow!

Just home from a stay at this incredibly fun home! Never got in our car once we parked it upon arrival. Home was incredibly well maintained, well-stocked, and had everything we needed for a fabulous stay. Just steps to the beach/lake, yet private and secluded from any noise. Their home feels like a home away from home. Hats off to owners who take great pride in maintaining their home so meticulously, and sharing their home with others. Thank you for a fantastic stay, we SO look forward to coming back soon!
