KEY Curation Notes

The Pacific Crest Trail from the back door. The home backs to national forest land, with a trail out back that links to the Pacific Crest Trail for hiking, trail running and mountain biking. Mornings start under the forest canopy without ever getting in the car.
A private cedar sauna with forest views. The indoor cedar sauna on the entry level looks out into the trees through its own windows. It’s the natural finish to a day on the slopes or the trail.
A great room wrapped in timber and glass. Vaulted wood ceilings, exposed beams and a wall of oversized windows frame forest views from the upper level. The remodeled kitchen anchors the space with a large island and breakfast bar.
Air-conditioned bedrooms built for groups. The upper-level primary suite has a soaking tub, and two queen suites downstairs each have their own bath, with a bunk room and trundle for younger travelers. The home welcomes up to ten guests, with children under twelve not counted toward occupancy.
Close to the backside of Palisades. The Sherwood chairlift into Alpine is under a mile away, and Homewood Mountain Resort is about seven and a half miles down the road. This is high snow country, so four-wheel drive is the way to arrive in winter.

Location

Inside the destination

Neighborhood: Alpine Peaks - Tucked within the coveted Alpine Peaks neighborhood, offering exceptional privacy, direct access to outdoor adventure, and effortless proximity to everything that makes Lake Tahoe unforgettable. Whether you're skiing at Palisades Tahoe, Alpine Meadows or Homewood Mountain Resort, spending sunny afternoons on the beaches of Lake Tahoe, or exploring the shops and restaurants of nearby Tahoe City, this remarkable home places every season of adventure just minutes away. - Surrounded by tranquil forest, you'll enjoy direct access to a scenic trail that connects to the legendary Pacific Crest Trail, allowing you to step from the property into miles of spectacular hiking, trail running, and mountain biking. Here, mornings begin beneath the forest canopy and evenings end with peaceful walks through one of Tahoe's most scenic natural settings. - Located on the West Shore, halfway between Homewood and Tahoe City, lies a little-known area of the West Shore, the Alpine Peak and Ward Canyon subdivision. Located about 5 miles from the lake in Ward Canyon, homes in this area offer seclusion and easy access to Sherwood Chairlift on the backside of Palisades Alpine. This area is great for the wilderness enthusiast, mountain adventurer or someone truly looking to just escape from it all. - In the summer, you’ll find Sunnyside Resort and Marina and William Kent Shoreline about a 5-mile drive away. William Kent Beach is situated in a wooded setting and offers picnic tables and grills with views across Lake Tahoe of the eastern shoreline. Next door, Sunnyside Resort is a favorite year-round lakeside dining option. However, guests won't need to venture far to enjoy the outdoors as great trails for hiking and mountain biking may be found just outside your door. - Less than 1 mile to Sherwood Chairlift - 12-minute drive to Tahoe City

Rosa

Our stay at this home was very relaxing. The floor to ceiling windows looking out to the trees was amazing to wake up to every morning. I was pleasantly surprised that the kitchen was fully stocked with ALL kitchen essentials. We really liked our stay and look forward to coming back in the future.
