5BR lakefront retreat w/ hot tub & fire pit

Morning light filters through tall windows, reflecting off the calm winter-blue surface of Lake Tahoe as snow-dusted evergreens frame the shoreline. Inside, the warmth of a stone fireplace and the quiet rhythm of the lake set the tone for unhurried days and cozy evenings. Whether you’re soaking in the hot tub as the air turns crisp or watching the moon rise over the water from the pier, this is a setting that invites you to slow down and settle in.

Set directly on the West Shore in the small lakeside town of Tahoma, this lakefront home offers a rare combination of privacy and proximity to year-round Tahoe experiences. In winter, nearby Nordic skiing trails, snow-covered hikes, and scenic drives define the days, while the home itself becomes a comfortable retreat after time outdoors.

Living spaces
The main living areas are arranged in an open layout that makes it easy to gather, relax, and enjoy the lake views from nearly every angle. A granite rock fireplace anchors the great room, complemented by wood floors, exposed beams, and large windows that bring the surrounding forest and shoreline indoors. Sliding doors connect the living room, dining area, and kitchen, creating a seamless flow while keeping the lake always in sight. A wet bar adds a convenient touch for evenings spent indoors, and multiple TVs offer space to unwind after a day outside.

Kitchen and dining
The kitchen is designed for shared meals and easy entertaining, with ample counter space and a center island that invites conversation while you cook. The dining table seats ten, with the flexibility to accommodate up to twelve, making it well-suited for group dinners, game nights, or lingering breakfasts on snowy mornings.

Sleeping arrangements
Five bedrooms are thoughtfully spread across the home to balance privacy and togetherness. On the entry level, the primary king suite includes a gas fireplace, TV, workspace, walk-in closet, and direct access to a lakefront patio. Upstairs, two additional king suites each feature private bathrooms, TVs, and balconies overlooking the water. Also on the upper level is a spacious bunkroom with a double-on-bottom and twin-on-top bunk bed plus a separate queen bed, along with a TV and casual seating. Nearby, a lake-view bedroom with two twin beds shares a full bathroom with the bunkroom.

Bathrooms and laundry
The home includes four full bathrooms and two half bathrooms, offering convenience for groups. Laundry facilities are located on the entry level.

Outdoor setting
Even in winter, the outdoor spaces remain a highlight. The property includes a private pier, buoy, lakeside lawn, and a small sandy beach, all framed by quiet shoreline and open water views. The hot tub provides a welcome place to warm up under the stars, and the fire pit creates a natural gathering spot during colder evenings.

Additional details
Free parking is available on the property, including a driveway and one-car garage, with space for up to four vehicles. An EV charger is available for guest use. The home is pet-friendly for dogs, with a fee of $100 plus tax per dog, and prior approval required for more than one dog. The adjacent studio guest house is not included in the rental.

Neighborhood and access
Tahoma offers a peaceful West Shore setting with easy access to state parks, winter recreation areas, dining, and the paved bike path leading toward Tahoe City, about eight miles north. Guests are asked to observe local quiet hours and parking rules in accordance with Placer County short-term rental regulations.

This home is offered as a short-term rental only and is well suited for families or groups seeking a true lakefront stay during Tahoe’s quieter, cozier season.
