Alpine Gem

Plan your upcoming Lake Tahoe vacation around a stay at Alpine Gem! This 3-bedroom home tucked away in the piney California forest is situated in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood less than 10 minutes from the sparkling shores of the lake. In the summer months, rent a boat or a pair of jet skis at the nearby marina and spend a fun-filled day out on the water, or pack a picnic lunch and work on your tan at one of many local beaches. In the winter months, you likely came for the unbelievable skiing scene, and Homewood Mountain, an 8-minute drive away, will not disappoint. With so much to do and see in this popular destination, there is no chance that anyone in your group won’t experience the vacation of their dreams.

The impressive home is a case study in cabin chic with warm wood features and accents running through the interior accented by modern furnishings. The cozy living room features a comfortable sectional sofa, recliner, and bean bag seating surrounding a large smart TV. In the cooler months, light the gas fireplace and create the perfect atmosphere for a group movie night. The dining room table, just steps away, seats 8 for formal meals as well as energetic game nights. The chef’s kitchen features gorgeous cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, an absolute dream for the meal planner in your group. The generous island can accommodate everything from family-style to a spread of hors d’oeuvres. Barstool seating for 3 at the island is ideal for quick bites or morning coffee and conversation.

Since we know you’ll want to spend the majority of your time outdoors, the spacious fenced-in backyard with a partially shaded patio and Adirondack seating is ready to welcome you with incredible views and the sounds of nature. The soothing hot tub can be your host for a relaxing night under the stars.

It’s no secret that when you visit Lake Tahoe, you’ll find world-class skiing in just about any direction. NorthStar, Alpine Meadows, and Squaw Valley are all within easy reach. Although this stay puts you in the heart of Tahoe ski country, there is a wide spread of activities to enjoy year-round in the surrounding areas. Miles of both paved and dirt trails for hiking and biking of all levels are nearby. Head out to popular beaches on Lake Tahoe’s crystal blue water or find a private cove with unforgettable swimming. From boating and water sports to fishing and kayaking, there’s no shortage of activities on the water. If you like paddle boarding, nearby Waterman’s Landing offers paddle board rentals, good coffee, great lake views, and light sandwiches.

When you’re not hitting the slopes or exploring the lake, Tahoe’s entertainment scene is waiting to impress. Local art galleries, shopping boutiques, live entertainment, iconic food spots, and bustling nightlife fill the vibrant communities of North Lake Tahoe. Gar Woods Grill & Patio is another awesome spot.
