**DOGS CONSIDERED***
This beautiful home is located in gorgeous Ward Valley, in breathtaking surroundings. The setting is unlike any other Tahoe experience; amazingly secluded with greenbelt and mountains all around, on the backside of Alpine Meadows and set in dense Tahoe National Forest area. A terrific year-round spot, this home makes your Tahoe visit feel special and unique.

Great for skiers: This property is a five-minute walk to Alpine Meadows’ Sherwood Express chair lift. (Important note: You MUST either have a season pass or purchase ski lift tickets in advance at the main lodge at the front side of Alpine Meadows; tickets are not for sale at the Sherwood Chair. The Sherwood chair may not be open, depending upon snow conditions.)
Great for hikers: There's boundless hiking access directly from house, including Tahoe Rim Trail and Pacific Crest Trail.
Great for families: Lots of room for the kids to play and highchair and Pack-n-Play available upon request.

Each bedroom features something special: The Queen bedroom located on the 1st level has a wonderful valley view of Lake Tahoe. Also on the 1st level, the west bedroom offers two twin beds, a table and chairs and doors out to the hot tub with views overlooking the valley. The third bedroom on the 1st level, the west Queen bedroom has a private entrance connected to the front stoop and covered stairs that lead to driveway/garage. The Queen master bedroom, located on the 2nd level of the home, provides lovely views of Twin Peaks.

The second floor offers a fully equipped kitchen and two dining areas. Just off of the kitchen, the living area has cozy plush furnishings, a high definition smart TV, a Blu-Ray DVD player, and satellite broadband internet. YouTube TV and Netflix are provided; guests can access all other streaming services with an account. The second level also has a full bathroom off of living/dining/kitchen areas.

The sunny deck offers amazing views, a propane BBQ, and deck furniture for outdoor dining during the summer months.

*PLEASE NOTE: The loft above the kitchen is accessed by a ladder, which is NOT TECHNICALLY PART OF THE RENTAL: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. There are many stairs between the driveway and the front door at this home. Call us if you need more information about access to the property.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was specifically chosen to provide a quiet, beautiful place to enjoy nature and solitude. It was perfect! There are other homes in the area, but they are widely spaced. The view from every window was lovely, and trail access points are nearby for hiking. The house is well-appointed and comfortable. A great choice!

    Great location away from the traffic. Layout of the property helped the family stay connected in the living space. Plenty of room around the table for 8-10 to play board games, eat, or socialize.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spacious home for large groups with all necessities. It’s like living in a very comfortable tree house. I can’t recall if # of stairs was disclosed prior to rental but It should have been clearly pointed out (since one of our guests recently had a stroke) but you didn’t know that. Hauserman staff are great to work with.

    This property is excellent - well maintained, well laid out, great light and has an awesome mud room in the entry way. Equally excellent is the location - so beautiful, and with an unexpected direct view of Lake Tahoe from the deck. Property group who manages the property were responsive, gracious and very accommodating. We will be back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an excellent stay at the Alpine Retreat house. The Ward Valley is a beautiful location and the house is an easy walk to the back side of Alpine. I particularly appreciated the management staff was available very responsive to a couple minor inquiries such as replacing the parking pass the previous guests forgot to leave in the house. Thank all for all for a great stay!
