Welcome to TaHome — perfect for couples or small families, with space and pricing options that fit your stay.

Choose from two ways to stay:

Suite Only (No Kitchen): Offers a lower nightly rate while still providing comfort and views — two bedrooms, one bathroom, in-room amenities, and a ground-floor balcony.

Or Upgrade: Add the full kitchen, living room, and second-story balcony — perfect for cooking, gathering, and spreading out.

Both options include resort-style amenities: hot tub, tennis, pickleball, and seasonal pool. Close to beach, marina, cafés, and dining. Small-dog friendly.

SUITE ONLY Option (Default Booking)

Private ground-level suite:

* 2 bedrooms with plush California King beds
* Bathroom
* Balcony with woodland views
* In-room amenities (mini-fridge, microwave, Keurig — no kitchen access with this option)

UPGRADE TO ADD KITCHEN + LIVING ROOM (Optional)

Add the full kitchen, living room, and second-story balcony for more room plus cooking options.

Upgrade pricing:
* +$50/night

Kitchen access can be added after booking, and we'll work with you to adjust the reservation fees.

PLEASE NOTE: While the owners rarely visit Tahoe, your stay if you choose the SUITE ONLY remains private even if they use the shared entry. If you upgrade to include the upstairs kitchen and living room, the entire space—and entry—is exclusively yours.

    We had a wonderful stay!The place was extremely clean and comfortable. The host was very responsive and helpful, we accidentally mixed up the checkout time and even left our luggage inside, and the host quickly helped us resolve everything, so we weren’t locked outside in the heavy snow, which we truly appreciated.The location is also very convenient: just a 5-minute walk to great restaurants and close to a grocery store. Highly recommended!

    Our stay at the Tahome was wonderful! It was just enough space for my family of 4. We loved Patton beach, that was within walking distance. We also enjoyed swimming at the Carnelian Lodge pool and hot tub. We loved hiking to Eagles Falls. It was beautiful. We happened to be there on one the hottest days of the year and our host brought us fans to help us keep cool at night. That was above and beyond and really appreciated how attentive they were. Lake Tahoe is beautiful and our time there is unforgettable!

    We had a wonderful stay and it was so nice to walk down to the lake. It would be quite tight with two couples though.

    In a nice and quiet location near the forest—inland about 1 1/2 blocks from the lake. Rooms were cozy and clean! We loved having the coffee selection and Keurig. The heaters made the chilly nights much more pleasant! Had a modern yet comfortable cabin-home like atmosphere. Check-in/out was super easy and having the option of the lodge, pool and hot tub were great! Host was very kind and communicative. Would definitely recommend!
