About this property

Lakefront Haven by AvantStay | Minutes to Ski Resorts | Private Dock & Boat

Welcome to Lakefront Haven! Located right on the shimmering shores of Lake Tahoe, adventure and relaxation meet in perfect harmony at this ultimate mountain retreat. With private lakefront access and Homewood Mountain Resort just across the street, this four-bedroom gem offers year-round fun for your group getaway.

Step into the spacious living area where rustic-chic details set a cozy tone, with plush seating, a large TV, and a stone fireplace to warm up those chilly mountain nights. Large windows by the dining table offer beautiful views of the lake and set a stunning backdrop for meals. The fully equipped kitchen boasts granite countertops and a suite of appliances – perfect for whipping up everything from hearty breakfasts to gourmet dinners.

With four comfortable bedrooms, everyone in your group will have their own cozy corner to relax. Bedroom 1 features a luxurious California king bed and lake views, while Bedroom 2 is equally inviting with a queen bed. Two queen beds in Bedroom 3 and a twin over queen bunk bed in Bedroom 4 are ideal for families. A queen sleeper sofa in the living room provides additional sleeping space.

The outdoor space is where Lakefront Haven truly shines. Your private dock and beach make it easy to dive into lake activities, from paddling out in one of the provided boats or lounging in the sun. Soak in the private hot tub while gazing out over the lake, or gather around the alfresco dining area to enjoy an evening meal as the sun sets over the water. A built-in grill provides the perfect setup for evening BBQs. The expansive lawn offers plenty of space for outdoor games, meaning there’s something for everyone to enjoy at this outdoor oasis.

Perfectly located for outdoor enthusiasts, Lakefront Haven offers easy access to Homewood Mountain Resort, Squaw Valley, and Alpine Meadows for epic skiing in the winter. In the warmer months, hike or bike the scenic trails along the West Shore, or take a short trip into Tahoe City to explore local shops, museums, and eateries. Whether you're here for thrilling ski runs or peaceful lakeside days, Lakefront Haven has everything you need for a memorable Lake Tahoe escape!

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!

Situated in the snowy Sierra Nevada Mountain range straddling the border between California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe offers stunning panoramic scenery and year-round adventure. Visitors flock here especially to ski and snowboard on dramatic slopes that seem to fall into the abyss of the lake's cobalt blue water. Whether you're looking for a day in the mountains or a cruise on the lake, you can have it all in Tahoe.

Beautiful waterfront home

This is a happy home that is set up for summertime fun. There is nothing quite as good as having a pier on the lake. The home has that old Tahoe feel, not perfectly updated but still very comfortable and clean. We would love to stay here again.

Location, location, location!

Lakefront Haven has the most breathtaking views of the lake. The home has all the amenities you and your family need during your stay. Watching the sunrise over the mountain ridge and onto the lake is truly a spiritual experience at Lakefront Haven.

beautiful lakefront home

Location! We love the quieter side of the lake and the direct lake access. We brought our kayak and used it every morning. There was a dingy and canoe available too. The dock is amazing. The cabin is very well equipped and has everything you need to be comfortable. It was clean and supplied. We also loved the restaurant across the street. Thank you so much for letting us use your beautiful home! We hope to return!

Lovely location next to the lake!

This is a sweet spot with gorgeous views, both from the dining table and the hot tub. It was cozy for the 7 of us to relax by the gas fire and play board games at the table. The kitchen was well equipped for all our cooking needs. We did experience a few needs over the weekend and the local rep was quick to respond and help out each time. Additionally they were very responsive when we wanted to stay an extra night and changed our minds about a late check out. Very accommodating, thank you! One down side (which is why this is a 4 star rating) was the lack of heating in three of the 4 rooms. Given we were there during the winter (tons of snow!) it was noticeable that the rooms lacked heating vents. Otherwise, the location to both the lake and Homewood were incredible, the house had all that we needed in terms of comforts, and we really enjoyed our stay. Looking forward to another visit!

Location was great, walked across the street for skiing. Enough space for one family. We had lots of snow, so we had to shovel to be able to get out, so that was a workout!

Unfortunate Bear Break In

Unfortunately, a bear broke in in the early morning (4 am) of the first day/night that we stayed there, and we had to call the sheriff to run him off. The bear broke in agaiin a couple of hours later, so we had to leave for safety reasons. This is not the owner's fault, of course, but a bear breaking into a cabin twice in the span of several hours made this an uninhabitable winter location for us. Too scary.
