Ellis Peak Retreat by Tahoe Getaways - 3BR Pet-Friendly w/ Hot Tub & Close to Tahoe City

Located just one mile from downtown Tahoe City, this beautifully updated West Shore vacation rental blends modern comfort with authentic mountain charm. Originally built during the 1960 Winter Olympics, this pet-friendly 3-bedroom, 2-bath home backs onto protected conservancy land, offering a peaceful forest setting and a true connection to Tahoe's natural beauty. Guests enjoy easy access to Commons Beach, the Truckee River, nearby hiking and biking trails, and beloved local favorites like Sunnyside Restaurant and Tahoe House Bakery. Whether you're relaxing by the wood-burning fireplace in winter or enjoying the spacious outdoor area in summer, this year-round retreat perfectly embodies the saying, “the West Shore is the best shore.”

The airy, 1,400-square-foot contemporary loft-style design features an open-concept living space highlighted by floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase the alpine landscape. The inviting living room includes plush furnishings, a flat-screen TV, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace—a perfect gathering place after a day on the slopes or exploring the lake. Adjacent to the dining area, a well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar makes it easy to prepare family meals or casual snacks. The main floor also includes a full bathroom and a versatile office space with direct access to the back deck.

All three bedrooms are located on the upper level, offering cozy bedding, warm décor, and ample storage. The second full bathroom is conveniently located upstairs, making it ideal for families or small groups.

Lovely getaway!

The Ellis Retreat was clean, cozy, and a perfect location. It was walking distance to local coffee shops and markets, and very close to the little town and Commons Beach. It was well stocked with all necessities you need to have a comfortable stay! We would definitely come here again.

Lovely home nestled against trails and forest

We loved the location and amenities -- walked to Tahoe House, hiked the trails behind the home, relaxed on the back patio and in the hot tub. The home was well equipped for our family of 6, including a private office area for WFH'ers.
