Fountain Cottage- Hot Tub- Private Beach

Location, location, location! This cottage is an easy walk to Tahoe Park's HOA beach, Firesign Cafe (a local favorite!), and West Shore Market. The quintessential log home could not be more reminiscent of Lake Tahoe, and includes all the creature comforts one might wish for in an ideal mountain cabin. A Restoration Hardware "Cloud" sectional and 50" flat screen television make the cozy living room the perfect place to cuddle up while snow falls outside, or to gather together after a summer day on the lake. The home's small kitchen has been updated with new stainless steel appliances, and opens to the fully landscaped and fenced yard with patio.

Upstairs, the Primary bedroom stretches from the front to back of the house, and features a comfortable sitting area and gas stove. The spacious room even provides space to set up a crib or pack and play for the little ones who've come along. On this floor, you'll also find a guest bedroom with queen bed and full bathroom. Downstairs, the third guest room and second bathroom provide convenience for those who may prefer not to navigate a full set of stairs during the stay.

ABOUT THE AREA

Conveniently located three and a half miles south of Tahoe City on Lake Tahoe's west shore, you'll find the quiet residential neighborhood known as Tahoe Park. Just up the hill from Sunnyside and the Tahoe Park HOA beach, this neighborhood offers easy access to Paige Meadows and miles of back-country which is popular for hiking/biking in summer and cross country skiing/snowshoeing in winter.

Access to the Lake Tahoe Park Associate HOA beach offers an escape from summer crowds and the convenient location means you'll never sit in west shore traffic. The Tahoe Park beach offers over three acres of lakefront enjoyment with two piers, a playground, basketball, bocce ball, volleyball, and picnic areas.

During the ski season, you are less than fifteen minutes from Homewood Mountain Resort. Or travel just twenty minutes to Palisades Tahoe (formally known as Squaw Valley/Alpine Meadows) which is the largest ski resort in Lake Tahoe. Palisades Tahoe has a shuttle that runs continuously between the base area of Olympic Valley & Alpine Meadows when both resorts are open for operations, weather, and traffic permitting.

Tahoe Park HOA Amenities Include:
• 3 1/2 acres of Private Beach and manicured Park with 850 feet of lake front footage
• 2 Piers
• Beach Volleyball
• Swing Set
• Basketball
• Picnic and BBQ area
• Horseshoe Pits

Great cottage for family ski trip!

Very cute and well-stocked cottage for family getaway. Tahoe City location close to hiking, skiing and sledding fun, and during heavy snowfall there is plenty to enjoy in the cottage itself (including hot tub!) Would return again!

Perfect West Shore location

Great location, cozy house. We loved that the master suite was upstairs and away from the living area - great if you’re traveling with a group and need some space. Beds are comfy and we had everything we needed and were a very short walk to some of our West Shore favorites. The backyard is beautiful, hot tub clean and garage was useful as we had a few baby supplies we stored out there (stroller, carrier, etc). We’d definitely stay again!

Needed getaway

We unfortunately had to reschedule out August trip to October due to fires but still enjoyed the trip immensely! This house is so great. Beds were so comfortable. Location is fantastic for what we were doing. I gave it a four because the couch is so low and uncomfortable it was not fun to relax on at the end of a long day of bike riding or hours of pickleball. The backyard is a plus too since it’s not only fenced but landscaped so nicely.

Family time in Tahoe City

We had a wonderful time with our son and DIL. The house is well appointed, super clean, and just a block from the lake. Great location within walking distance for groceries and dining. Great spot for biking. Loved the fenced-in yard and beautiful garden.

Great Place to Unwind

We were looking for a place for the two of us to unwind and get away from Covid worries. Fountain Cottage was a great solution. The location perfect: quiet, not so crowded, space to walk, close to the lake and Ward Park. The cabin was perfect for two, with its smallish but tidy kitchen and its spacious master bedroom. The fenced back yard was a hit for our GSP. We did have to handle the steep stairs with care, which could have been safer with a non-slippery surface. A minor annoyance was the down stairs TV, which we could not get to work.

The Fountain Cottage is very cute and cozy. The beds are very comfy and the fans in the rooms were a blessing on the warm days. The kitchen is small but well appointed. The yard and hot tub are fabulous! Thank you for sharing your house!
