Windsor Pines Retreat

4 bedrooms·3 bathrooms·9 guests

Surrounded by towering pines on Lake Tahoe's beautiful North Shore, Windsor Pines Retreat is a welcoming mountain escape designed for year-round adventure and relaxation. This beautifully remodeled four-bedroom, three-bath home comfortably accommodates up to nine guests, blending modern comforts with timeless alpine charm. Soaring ceilings, exposed wood beams, and a cozy fireplace create an inviting great room, while the gourmet kitchen and adjoining dining area make gathering effortless after a day outdoors. Thoughtfully designed sleeping arrangements, including a spacious primary suite and family-friendly bunk room, provide comfort for every member of the group, making it an ideal retreat for families and friends alike. Nature is truly at the doorstep, with a trailhead less than 50 yards from the home offering direct access to world-class hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, and a scenic route to Kings Beach. Just minutes from Lake Tahoe's crystal-clear shoreline and Northstar California Resort, the location makes it easy to enjoy every season. After a day of exploring, unwind on the expansive deck surrounded by peaceful forest views, fire up the grill for an alfresco meal, or relax by the fireplace with your favorite après-ski beverage. With garage parking, thoughtfully updated interiors, and exceptional access to the area's outdoor recreation, Windsor Pines Retreat offers the perfect balance of adventure, comfort, and mountain serenity.

KEY Curation Notes

Fresh 2026 renovation with soaring great-room ceilings and exposed beams — High-end appliances, dark cabinetry, and a gourmet kitchen with island seating anchor the second floor, where views through floor-to-ceiling glass doors open onto an expansive deck and BBQ grill.
Hiking and mountain-biking trailhead is literally 50 yards away — Direct access to world-class trails right outside; cross-country skiing in winter. A separate trail leads to Kings Beach for water access, though it's a walk rather than a short stroll.
Two-car garage parking and well-spaced bedrooms — Primary and bunk room on main floor, two guest bedrooms upstairs with shared baths. The setup spreads guests across the home comfortably and works well for families with kids.
Fireplace and screened outdoor living — The great room fireplace and deck with wooded forest views define après-ski downtime; BBQ and alfresco dining table extend the outdoor oasis.
Occupancy is hard-capped at 9 total overnight guests — STR permit limits are strict; groups larger than 9 cannot stay here.
