We have come Skiing from San Diego, CA to Mt Rose for many years and loved it. So, when we learned of the opportunity to buy this home so close to the Mt Rose Ski Resort, we jumped at it. This is a one of a kind Home hidden in the Mountains above Lake Tahoe off the Mt Rose Hwy 431 with views to Reno, a short distance up an unpaved road about 200 yards from Main Hwy and only 1.5 miles to Mt Rose Ski Area. At about 7600 feet, it is almost always a nice temperature on the hot Reno Summer Days. Besides being a wonderful vintage home, the views are incredible. Did I say the Views from this home are incredible. Well it is certainly worth mentioning more than once. This house was built in 1950 by the first Ski Area Developer in all of the Sierras. Everyone who lives in the area tells us that this is the best built house anywhere around. We love it and want to share it. The first renters said they loved it and felt like they were in a museum. I would not call this a Luxury Home, but a very comfortable place to stay. One really feels at home at our home in the mountains. The Home is located right next to Sky Tavern Ski Area, which the builder of this home also Built. There is so much history for the area and Ski resort. Sky Tavern was the first Ski resort in all of the Sierras. We Love to speak to future guests. During and right after winter storms you may need 4 wheel drive and/or chains to reach our parking area. There is parking available at the Sky Tavern parking below about 200 yards near the main highway where you can park and walk up. Our private road is not always cleared regularly after a large snow storm, and many of the people who live on the road ( just 10 houses) leave their cars below by the main highway during large storms. Situated halfway between Incline Village, Lake Tahoe and downtown Reno, NV is Sky Tavern. A unique mountain top community that’s surrounded by wilderness and is only 1.5 miles from Mount Rose Ski Area.

Our home is a comfortable and spacious home designed for those looking to enjoy a mountain home with easy access to skiing, hiking, mountain biking or everything Reno and Tahoe have to offer.

The home has a dramatic fireplace in the living room on the main level, along with the kitchen, master bedroom, a full bathroom, and a bedroom with a great Queen platform bed with the newest type memory foam Mattress.

Downstairs, you will find 2 bedrooms & the Den bedroom plus a full Bathroom.
The house is very comfortable but not “fancy”. Its warm and cozy during the winter and is the perfect home base for ski days at Mt Rose or exploring the greater Reno/Tahoe area.

The house is less than a 25 minute drive from Reno-Tahoe International Airport and downtown Reno. It’s 20 minutes to Incline Village and Lake Tahoe .

Also, our house is just a few blocks to what I feel is the best rental equipment store, MountainTop Sports. They rent Skis, Boards, sleds, clothes, and just about anything you will need for the winter at very fair prices. Also in the summer months they have rented out E-Bikes. Their phone number is 775-852-1300.

    We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was well maintained and had everything we needed (bring your own shampoo/conditioner). Fantastic view of the city lights! Close to the ski resort and not too far from town for any supplies we needed. We'd definitely stay here again.

    We had a great time! The home was not fancy, but it was very comfortable and homey. We had everything we needed. Its semi-isolated location was just what we were looking for. It provided peace and quiet, along with fantastic views. But, it was still only around 20 minutes to a major Grocery store. We would stay there again.

    We wanted to rent a cabin that would be warm and cozy and close to a ski hill. We got both. The cabin is knotty pine inside and was very clean. The guys got to ski, the little one got to play in a lot of snow and the cabin kept us warm and cozy. It had everything we needed to cook and plenty of beds to sleep in. It had a beautiful view of the south Reno valley. we were able to use the supplied snow blower to clear the driveway to go skiing. We had an unexpected amount of snow come down in a 24 hour period. It was beautiful. Be prepared to shovel and use the snow blower, if you come in the winter.

    This property is a gem that would transform from tolerable for the amazing view/location to actually nice if they (1) upgraded two of the worst mattresses; (2) replaces polyester sheets with cotton; (3) got some stainless steel or cast iron pans and some actually useable knives.

    This is like a rustic ski chalet, but it has everything you need – good Wi-Fi, excellent shower, lots of space and absolutely fantastic views. It’s not fancy, but comfortable, and I loved hiking the surrounding area.

    Stayed for a few nights, was concerned about the weather since there were blizzard warnings but host helped give info and reassurance. The cabin is spacious, old/rustic, had a nice amount of snow around the property.

    This mountain getaway in tucked right into the side of Mount Rose. You love sking or snowboarding? You can do it basically out the front door. Love mountain hiking same thing. Not to mention the view of Reno at night is beautiful. The cabin itself is an ode to an older time that brings back memories of what mountain living would've been like before the hustle and bustle of the modern age took over....just make sure you either have good AWD/4x4 or are okay with the hike up the hill in the winter, and yes it can be very slippery. I speak of experience. Overall it was a nice retreat away from the city to enjoy all the possibilities of the mountain.

    The views were amazing. After spending time at Lake Tahoe during the day, we enjoyed the coziness of the place. Cooking dinner, enjoying the patio and good times. Loved that the pantry wasn’t bare and there was plenty of cleaning supplies to utilize. We’ve already talked about meeting there again.

    We had a wonderful stay in this rustic cabin. It has the most beautiful views of the valley and surrounding areas. The hosts were very helpful and the location was very close to the wedding venue we were visiting.
