We have high speed, reliable Internet at our home! Unlike many homes in Lake Tahoe who have spotty connections, we have high speed cable Internet that is great for working remotely!

In the summer, we provide a beach cart, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and beach towels for all of our guests. In the winter, we provide sleds for the kids, and the kids at heart!

We're always quick to respond!

This Lake Tahoe luxury home is situated on over .25 acres of land and has views of Lake Tahoe! Plus, it's just a 5-10 minute walk to the lake! The cabin has just been fully remodeled, featuring a new designer kitchen with commercial fridge/freezer, stainless steel appliances, remodeled Carrara marble bathrooms, a game room (complete with pool table & big screen TV), free high-speed wireless internet, flat screen TV's throughout, log beds, and new Restoration Hardware bedding.

Not only is this property relaxing and luxurious, it also has plenty of things to do for the kids, and the kids at heart. With a pool table, sleds and board games, the kids will always have something to do. Close to great hiking and bike trails in the summer, and cross-country and downhill skiing in the winter, this Tahoe luxury cabin is the place you want to be!
We are excited to share our beautiful home with you.
Also, here are some very pertinent rules that we need to tell you about. There are a few strict rules in Lake Tahoe that you should be aware about (parking & noise) and a few house rules that we've put in place to ensure that you and other guests have a wonderful time at our home. They are all listed below. Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm always around to help.
PS. We highly encourage you to purchase travel insurance! You can purchase travel insurance here: https://www.vacationrentalinsurance.com/.

MANDATORY HOUSE RULES:

• Do not park anywhere on the property other than the actual asphalt parking spots. The sheriff's department can fine you up to $1000 for parking on anything other than the street or driveway. DO NOT park on the dirt. There is only enough parking for up to 4-5 vehicles in the driveway (depending on snow levels). In the summer, you can park on the street, but we don't recommend bringing any more than 5 vehicles with you to the home. Please carpool!

• There are very strict noise ordinances in the county. Quiet hours are from 10pm - 9am every day. After 10pm noise needs to be under 40 dB which is library quiet. This means that we do not permit any congregating outside (even in the hot tub) after 10pm. If the neighbors call the Sheriff, you can be fined up to $1,000! This is no laughing matter and we’d hate for you to get a $1,000 fine. If the owners are fined separately, that cost will be passed on to the guests renting the home.

• Absolutely NO SMOKING on the property. If you are a smoker, we ask that you take a walk and smoke. Our neighbors are very strict on this and will report smoking. Please let others enjoy the beauty and smell of the outdoors, not of your cigarettes or cigars.

• If you have dogs, you must pick up their waste and dispose of it in a plastic bag. We will not tolerate anything less. Please also make sure there is no excessive barking.

• Any trash from your visit must be picked up and disposed of in the bear can. Please do not leave ANY trace or trash on the property when you leave. Keep the forest the way you found it! Bears have an incredible sense of smell and are very resourceful. If they smell food in your car they will break in. Please do not leave any food outside the house other than the bear bins.

Thank you for your cooperation. We want you to have a wonderful time at our home. We just ask that you be responsible guests. Please confirm that you have received this message and that you agree to abide by these rules. Thank you and we look forward to hosting you for a wonderful vacation!

Thank you,
Doug and Grace Vanesko

Post New Years visit
It is a great property and the host was very helpful and easy to work with. There are plenty of places for people to sleep so good for large groups. We had 2 couples and the rest were 20-23 year olds who were happy to share rooms and sleep on bunk beds. The only hard thing for 2 couple is there is only one bedroom with an

Fun retreat!
kitchen/great room, rooms, beds, bathrooms, deck all great. One note: the pull out bed in the Rec room was too dirty to use-we had a spare blow up so used that instead. Stove/oven in kitchen great. Could not get pizza oven to stay lit even changing tanks to a full one. Could not get BBQ or fire pit to light. Tank was fine-we took it down to the Beach and BBQ'd there. Loved time at TP Beach! Returned access card under large bear on top of pantry cupboard.

Great group destination
We had the most wonderful stay at the Bear Lodge for my husband's 40th birthday. The set up is perfect for a group with plenty of space for dining (indoors and outdoors), sleeping and hanging out. We loved spending time on the deck soaking in the sun and view of the lake. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that we needed to make delicious dinners (including a pizza oven!). Highly recommend this place to stay!

Grandparents Dream Vacation
We had a large group, 8 adults, 2 teens and 6 children and the house was perfect for our group. The home was large enough for everyone to feel comfortable, the home was close to the lake, close to town and convenient to all that Lake Tahoe has to offer. The home had plenty of amenities to keep everyone busy even when we were not swimming on the lake or hiking on a trail. We highly recommend this home for any large group, especially for a group with with kids of all ages.

Wedding weekend
We rented the house for our daughter’s wedding weekend. We had a few friends and family stay over after the wedding and the house was just what we needed. Doug was very helpful answering questions I had quickly. We held the reception there. The kitchen was well stocked we did our own food for about 23 people.

Not accurately described
This is a beautiful house. I would not consider any of it LUXURY as it is repeatedly described, but it is beautiful and a great location. The first thing that should have been very clearly stated is that you must go down a steep set of stairs from where you park to get in the house. There is no other place to park and get in. We had older family members and my grandma who is in a wheelchair, so it was very difficult and dangerous to get them in and out of the house. We stayed over Christmas week and it was very cold and icy. I absolutely would not have chose this house for this particular vacation if I had known that. There also is no blinds or window coverings on ANY of the windows except for the game room. All bedrooms and living room are clearly visible by neighboring houses. It’s also bright in every bedroom as soon as the sun came up. The kitchen has a very large fridge, which was very convenient for our group since we cooked at the house most days, but only two burners on the stove worked and the shelf in the oven is broken, so all pans slide to the oven door. I had to buy pans and cookie sheets because almost everything in the cabinets was old ceramic that food stuck to, or scratched and rusted. There was a variety of appliances which was also useful. The living room only has one couch, not two as pictured, so everyone had to sit on the hardwood floor or barstools to watch TV together. The owner let himself in one morning which was a surprise to us and inappropriate.

Terrific home and location. It has everything most profecient home cooks could want. What's great is the owners don't throw out perfectly good left over cans/tubs/tubes/jars/bottles of condiments. It's got all you need for your stay. Fantastic stay.

Tahoe Family Gathering
Overall, this home was great, because it provided us the opportunity to fit both sides of our family(party of 18) and the owner was great to communicate with. If there was an issue, he appreciated the feedback and the opportunity to fix the issue right away. Everyone had a great time celebrating my husband's 40th birthday. We hung out mostly upstairs in the living room and deck area. We cooked all our meals for the 4 night stay, so having two fridges(one upstairs and one downstairs) was helpful to store all the food. It would have been nice to have more pantry space, but we made it work. We had 5 kids, and one of them was a 1 1/2 year old. It was nice the house had a baby gate, high chair and play yard. The backyard was not as kid friendly, but it was nice to be able to have a short drive to Commons Beach for them to play at the playground. Overall, we would stay here again!

Best-stocked rental home I’ve ever visited
This is an incredible rental property. We all agreed that we had never seen a VRBO or other home better-stocked. Condiments, cooking necessities, a pizza oven, extra propane, red solo cups, ping pong balls, even some beers in the fridge! These are elite and very communicative hosts. Great proximity to water, town, parks, and activities. We had a 10/10 experience and would urge any group to stay at this home. Thank you, hosts!

Spaciously Beautiful and Fully Equipped
Perfect set up for our large family of many age groups. Sleeping arrangements accommodated all of us. Plenty of bathrooms too. Dining together at the large table each night was a highlight. In great weather the deck as well as the hot tub were nice for relaxing and taking visiting outside. Nice location between town and quiet neighborhood. Little ones needed to be watched with the slope of the land and stairways, but a provided stair gate inside was so appreciated. Hope the opportunity arises to stay at this property again!
