Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Perched among the pines of Kings Beach, this house puts Lake Tahoe's shoreline less than half a mile away and Northstar Ski Resort an eleven-minute drive up the road – which means the saltwater hot tub in the fenced backyard earns its keep after a day on the slopes. Tall windows and vaulted ceilings draw the forest inside, and a fireplace makes the living room the natural gathering point on cooler evenings. Two wraparound deck levels give you fresh mountain air at any hour, with towering pines as the view in every direction.

Home truths
Two of the bedrooms have single-over-double bunk beds that can sleep up to three people – we think they might be best suited to children.
For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.
There's no air conditioning here, so summer stays can get warm during the day. Opening the windows and using the ceiling fans will help, and the mountain evenings tend to cool down naturally.
The barbecue is only available during summer months, so if you're visiting outside that window you won't be able to cook outdoors.
You'll have five parking spaces on site – two in the garage and two or three in the driveway depending on the size of your vehicles.

About Kings Beach
On the border of California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe is one of the largest bodies of water in the US. As you'd expect, it's an area of astounding beauty, but the lake has also made a name for itself as a centre for both winter sports and water sports, as well as hiking and cycling. The north shore is a bit quieter and more relaxed than the south. While there's still plenty to do (including the annual food and wine festival), you're unlikely to see crowds like you do in other parts of the region.
