Welcome to Ward Creek – where modern design meets mountain charm! This cabin is more than a getaway; it's an experience waiting to unfold. You'll enjoy everything from a spacious deck to a prime location just a short walk away from the beaches of Lake Tahoe.

Step into the great room, a masterpiece of architecture boasting vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that bathe the space in natural light. Picture cozy evenings on the plush leather sectional, with the warmth of the fireplace flickering nearby. Movie nights take center stage with a flat-screen TV, creating the ultimate cinematic retreat.

The fully equipped kitchen features a gas range and an island counter with barstool seating. The adjacent dining table seats 6, ensuring everyone has a spot for group meals or game nights. (Two additional folding chairs are in one of the bedroom closets for more seating space.)

Outside, a spacious deck lets you enjoy the crisp mountain air and features a BBQ grill.

Ward Creek accommodates your party with three beautiful bedrooms plus a bonus room, each a sanctuary of comfort after a day exploring the lake or slopes. Choose from king, queen, and full options, and revel in the luxury of ensuite bathrooms in two spaces. The third bathroom offers a shower/tub combo for added convenience.

Venture beyond the cabin and discover a world of local delights. Stroll to Sunnyside or Westshore Market for a hearty mountain breakfast, or indulge in local favorites like the Shadyside Bar and Grill, Firesign Cafe, Spoon, and the Swiss Lakewood Restaurant – all just a stone's throw away. Looking for even more options Tahoe City is a 5-minute drive away.

For adventure seekers, Kilner Park beckons with play structures, pickleball, tennis, basketball, and volleyball. Explore the natural wonders of Ward Canyon Hiking Trail, Eagle Rock Hiking Trails, Hurricane Bay Beach, and the Sunnyside Beach and Marina. The Chambers Landing Bar/Grill Marina is a must-visit for a Tahoe dining experience.

Winter enthusiasts rejoice! Homewood, Alpine Meadows, and Palisades ski areas are at your fingertips. A few minutes' drive up Ward Canyon will take you to Sherwood Chair, where you can easily access Alpine Mountain. (Please note there is no parking, and make sure you have tickets in advance — no ticket sales are available at this location.) There's also a shuttle directly from Sunnyside for even more slopeside convenience.

Stay well-stocked with multiple markets and grocery stores nearby – West Shore Market, Homewood (Obexers), Tahoma Market, and Safeway Tahoe City ensure you have everything you need for an unforgettable stay. The neighborhood is flat and easily accessible off Highway 89.

    Amazing property! Had everything we needed for 2 families. Plenty of space, clean and fun for a mountain trip. 20 min to Palisades, easy drive. 5 min into Tahoe City for shops/restaurants. 3 level home. Lower level had snow room entry, large bedroom with couch and table. Plenty of space for all your gear. Brand new washer / dryer that was great. Mid/main level had perfect kitchen with literally everything you'd need. Open floor plan space, large circular dinner table, big couches next to tv and huge fireplace. Large outdoor balcony. Mid level also had 2 bedrooms, one with a queen and one with 2 twins, next to each other and shared bathroom. Super high ceilings made for plenty of space for everyone to hang out. Top level had master suite , king bed, big bathroom and another work space table. We couldn't have asked/found a better family home for our ski trip. Everyone loved it - book this home for your next Tahoe trip! Lastly, AvantStay made getting in super easy and clean-up was the simplest of any home we've rented on VRBO - they do it right. Communication was quick and home was perfect in every way. Thank you!

    we loved our stay in this house. Its spacious, and architecturally arranged well for both collective space or having time on one's own. It's equipped with everything one needs (good kitchen, games, and yes it does have coffee tea etc essentials that are missing in other properties to get you at least ver the first day, before you go to the store etc). The property manager responded within minutes to any question we had, and always incredibly helpful. After having stayed in many different properties over the years and having interacted with different agents, it seems that Avanstay really understands what their customers need and delivers 100%.
