About this property
Snowglobe by Hauserman Rentals
// This home is a short term rental only \\
**DOGS CONSIDERED**
When the snowflakes gently fall around this beautiful cabin, it creates a feeling of being in the center of a snow globe. The soaring windows of the cabin offer amazing views of the surrounding forest. Additionally, the cabin is conveniently located near hiking and biking trails, providing ample opportunities for summertime fun.
This wonderful home is located in the Alpine Peaks neighborhood on Lake Tahoe’s West Shore and makes a great year-round destination. In winter, hop on the Sherwood Chair* at the back side of Alpine Meadows ski resort with your car parked nearby at the private HOA lot. In summer, enjoy the tennis courts which are a mere 3 minute walk away or head out for a stunningly scenic hike in the surrounding mountains. Trailheads for the famous Tahoe Rim Trail and spectacular Paige Meadows are easily accessible.
Enter on the bottom floor of this tri-level home to find the recreation room and laundry facilities. The rec room has a flat screen TV with DirectTV satellite, streaming on Apple TV, BluRay DVD, plus Game Cube and PS3; table for games; cushy sectional couch; separate memory foam Queen sofa sleeper; and a full bathroom.
Mid-level has the living room with wood fireplace, Sonos sound system and those great big windows; dining area with expanding table; well-equipped kitchen; bedroom with a New Queen bed; the Kids’ bedroom with one Twin bed and a set of Twin bunkbeds; and full guest bathroom in the hall. The living room is stocked with lots of games, puzzles and books, including local trail and nature guides. Exterior deck offers a gas grill for use during summer.
Top level has the spacious Cal King master bedroom with Sonos sound system and bathroom with jetted tub and separate shower. Heated floors throughout keep you toasty warm.
The Alpine Peaks area is delightfully secluded a few miles up Ward Canyon, but it’s still conveniently close to Sunnyside, Tahoe City and all the awesome adventures the West Shore offers.
*Important note: You MUST either have a season pass or purchase ski lift tickets in advance at the main lodge at the front side of Alpine Meadows; tickets are not for sale at the Sherwood Chair. The Sherwood chair may not be open, depending upon show conditions.
One side of a two car garage is available, along with 2 spaces on the paved driveway. Parking is limited to 3 spaces.
