About this property

Tahoe's Mountain Air Lair

Tahoe’s Mountain Air Lair is designed and furnished for truly enjoying Lake Tahoe's incomparable mountain setting. A favorite for long term ski leases, due to its close proximity to Heavenly (4.8 miles away) and Kirkwood (32.6 miles away ), the cabin’s location is also within minutes of bike trails, numerous beaches, shopping (Raley’s, TJ Max, Bev Mo, Kmart, Blue Zone Sports) and award winning food establishments ( Tahoe Pizza, Sonney’s BBQ Shack Bar and Grill, The Lake House, and Crazy Good Bakery). The one level, three bedroom house structure with a large and accommodating great room encourages friendly gatherings whether it be families or friends. Three inviting bedrooms, a well equipped kitchen, cozy clean- burning gas fireplace, large picture windows and homey décor are all features that combine to make a relaxed, yet elegant atmosphere. The enclosed backyard features a spacious deck and barbecue area. The front deck is a perfect place to watch squirrels and neighbors enjoying nature. Four bikes are provided to avoid the car lines at the beach entrances while facilitating a favorite Tahoe pastime of biking the many wonderful, flat trails that lead to Pope, Kiva and Baldwin Beach. Whether with your sweetheart or whole family, this comfortable, cozy home, is designed to enjoy Lake Tahoe’s spectacular outdoor amenities while enjoying all the comforts of home. South Lake Tahoe has a new cutting edge bicycle challenge course and outdoor recreation opportunities such as zip lines, ropes courses, rock climbing and snow park runs. Casino nightlife is only 15 minutes away to fuel your party side after a day of outside activities. For those who don't like eating out, there is a fully outfitted kitchen with a dishwasher, gas stove and microwave.. This Tahoe get-away truly invites you to relax with nature, read, watch a movie (on 50 and 40 inch flatscreens) or revel in the wonders of this alpine playland. Tahoe is great for dogs (fleas don't do well there), so we are pet-friendly as long as your dog is house-broken. Designed to help you download, decompress and plug-in to Tahoe's serene beauty, the home's internet accessibility and cable still allow you to be as connected as you want to be!
All rooms have knotty pine ceilings. The Master bedroom has a king size bed and convenient bathroom with shower. Bedroom two and three have queen size beds and there is an aerobed in the closet. Quality linens are provided. The second bathroom with shower over tub is just outside the middle bedroom.

Four bikes are available in the spring and summer and there is also some water sport equipment. Happy memories are meant to be made here with your loved ones and family. We believe that Lake Tahoe is a natural treasure to be enjoyed by all.

Perfect interim rental

Our own house is undergoing a remodel and we needed a place to stay. This house is very near our own neighborhood. We were comfortable and felt very safe our entire time. The hosts were very gracious and accessible.

A Month in Lake Tahoe!

This is a lovely property, very true to the photos presented. Maybe a little smaller than I expected (1300 sq. ft), but a very effective use of space. Well appointed. Please be advised, however, that it is NOT 1.4 miles to Pope Beach. It's 3 miles but a pretty easy bike ride.

We loved this place and will certainly stay again!

We enjoyed our stay here so much we didn’t want to leave! The location is perfect and close to everything you need! The size and layout was perfect for our family. It felt like home for the month we stayed there, and couldn’t ask for a better way or place to have our holiday break. Michelle was accommodating, extremely responsive, and helpful whenever we had any questions. Thank you for the hospitality! Would absolutely stay again!

We loved being at Lake Tahoe again. Being at the rental was close to everything at south shore. We easily visited our favorite places to eat and found a few new ones. It had 3 bedrooms which was ideal for the four of us and our 2 dachshunds. Michelle as great and answered our questions promptly. Would definitely stay here again.

Very nice & relaxing place

shops & grocery is very close by. Bike trails from the neighborhood are very convenient and makes getting to the beach without a car reasonable. Don't plan on being able to walk to the beach and the grill is kind of a hassle if you're not familiar with older charcoal grills (if you have your own small one, bring it). Overall very pleasant stay at a relaxing, quiet home and an easy drive to anything in South Lake Tahoe.

Great location, perfect house for couple and dogs

My husband and I traveled with our dogs. We had a great time, the location was so convenient we could not have asked for more. We enjoyed having access to bikes and went on at least one ride a day. Very conveniently located near restaurants, shops and beaches. We felt very relaxed and comfortable here’. We even saw a bear in the neighborhood! Cannot wait to come back

Great value and location

Everything about the house and location was great. Close to everything in south Lake Tahoe. Nice and cozy mountainy home. The only issue was that we couldn't;t find the beach towels and all of the tires on the bicycles were flat. Other than that, very nice property and perfect for a family stay.

Where are the closets?

The living room is spacious and nicely appointed. Two areas that need attention: in the two front bedrooms there were no closets or places to hang clothes. No hangers in either room. The description online says a dvd. True but it was connected to the small tv there. If you have three guests, where don you sit? I addition that tv was not connected and we could not get the dvd to work despite the short instructions.

About the host

Hosted by Michele and Dave

Host profile image
Outdoor lovers, we love to hike, kayak, bike-ride and enjoy fresh mountain air. One of us, loves to jump in the 'refreshing' lake, while the other likes to bring the dogs to the dog beach and let them jump in. One of us loves to read outside on the deck while the other devises 'epic' hikes to talk her into. One will go out skiing while the other will relax by the fire and they will both think they have the better deal! Our vision is to have many happy memories exploring this beautiful area and sharing it with our family, friends and especially our grandchildren. We hope you will too!

Why they chose this property

The Y location, close to grocery shopping, the beaches and hiking trails is this property's draw. Growing up, trips to Tahoe were more about the parents going to the casinos and I spent many hours pushing my cousin who was a Vietnam Vet through them. Now, with casinos throughout California, Tahoe's real appeal is its alpine location, the incredible lake and the numerous new outdoor activities (rock climbing, parasailing, gondolas, outdoor concerts and plays, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, and even ziplining). Luckily, our location allows access to the beaches with a easy bike ride which serves a dual purpose, exercise and saving parking fees. We provide four bikes which is a tremendous cost savings in itself and really convenient for avoiding the traffic to the beaches and consequent parking fees. It is pet friendly so you don't have to leave your best friend behind or pay those kennel fees and the one story floorplan makes it easy to navigate for seniors or anyone who just hates stairs. And if you like to dance, gamble, or people watch, the casinos are a quick 15 minute drive away.

What makes this property unique

Sitting on the outside back and front decks in the summer; biking to Richardson's beach and listening to music while sunbathing or swimming in the largest alpine lake in the United States. We have also grown to love Fallen Leaf Lake for its calm waters, just bring your water shoes for the rocky bottom. Some people feel you have to camp to get close to nature, but with this cozy cabin , you can have it all. Hike Mt. Tallac and enjoy awe-inspiring views or meditate by gazing at the blue crystal clear waters of Lake Tahoe while letting your dogs enjoy the dog-friendly beach.
