Winter and Summer.....Escape from it all in this large 5 bedroom, 4 bath cabin in the pristine and exclusive Bear Creek neighborhood, located half a mile mile below Alpine Meadows Ski Resort. This home's modern lay-out boasts two stories of glass windows with views of the slopes in the winter and of our private swimming pond in the summer. Surrounded by open meadows and solitude yet close to everything, this cabin is a reunion/retreat destination like no other. Our home is surrounded by 4 open lots that can never be built on! It feels like you went camping and brought a 5-BR house with you!
Our game cupboard contains tons of puzzles and games, and our sunken living-room and open-hearth fire place allow for families and friends to gather effortlessly.
In the winter, beat traffic with a one minute drive to the slopes, or cross country ski and make snowmen in the untouched snow off the back deck. If you dare, adventure one mile down the road to our local 'E' ticket sledding hill. Cold temps but low snow year No problem. Bear Creek's pond transforms into a private old-fashioned skating pond. Bring some skates, ear-muffs, and your hockey stick and enjoy skating with no driving, nor admission price!
In summer, stroll out on to the deck and find yourself steps away from our private swimming pond with its' own sandy beach, Huck-Finn style rafts, and 'rock islands' to sunbathe on. You may never want to leave, but if you do the famous Five-Lakes trail-head is across the street, as are some of Tahoe's famous mountain bike trails. Two miles down the road find fine-dining at the River Ranch, Tahoe's best horseback riding stables, rafting on the Truckee River, and the world's most beautiful bike path- which runs along the Truckee River for 12 miles and leads you to beautiful Lake Tahoe and Tahoe City.
Winter or Summer, this cabin gives you access to the best that Tahoe has to offer. It is the perfect cabin for a single-family retreat or a large group get-away. The lay-out of our home allows for private and communal activities to happen at the same time. You can play hard, or relax, connect or disconnect, your choice.
Whether you are looking for adventure or solitude this house has it all.

    We stayed here for a weekend trip with friends and this home exceeded our expectations. The home was cozy but spacious for all of our friends, and the location and view was great. The host was responsive and friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

    Great location. Grandkids loved the private pond for swimming and paddling on the rafts. Very clean. Kitchen had all necessities. Wish there were screens on the doors so we could keep bugs out but enjoy the breeze on hot days. Living room furniture is not comfortable. Perhaps another umbrella and comfortable outdoor furniture would fix that issue.

    This home is great. The location to Alpine is impeccable. The free, on-demand shuttle service makes it even better/more convenient. There were plenty of board games as well as poker chips, which kept us occupied after a day of skiing. Beds were comfortable and plenty of fresh linens/towels for a 5 night stay. Would stay here again!

    This was a perfect vacation home. The swimming pond and little park area were hits with the whole family. The house was super great… completely stocked! We just had to bring our food (but spices and many condiments were stocked already). Lots of space for meals, games, and plenty of beds! We had the best time ?❤️

    We were 2 grandparents, 4 adult children, and 4 grandchildren. This was everyone's favorite house in the 11 summers we have gone to Lake Tahoe. The neighborhood is a gorgeous place to walk, with incredibly beautiful houses and a lovely creek and waterfall. The house is not super updated but very roomy and comfy in the kind of way where you aren't afraid the kids are going to ruin something! The kitchen has all kinds of equipment, plenty of pots and pans, even blender and food processor. Deck was very nice and has view of the private HOA pond. The pond was the best part of all, just steps away from the house --- so lovely, surrounded by trees, very peaceful, and the children had so much fun with the Huck Finn rafts. House is also near to stables where the grandkids had fun riding horses and ponies. We also went on the aerial tram at Palisades, and the roller skating and snow up there was a big hit. Initially I was afraid house would be too far away from other places we wanted to go....Not at all! Took only about 10 minutes to go to the market in Tahoe City --- and our trips to Meeks Bay seemed to take only tiny bit longer than we stayed south of Tahoe City in the past. We look forward very much to coming back.

    The property is exactly as shown in the pictures. The size of it, and the amenities that were provided was perfect. It was our first time to Lake Tahoe and we joyed it immensely.

    A spacious, comfortable home with a super well-equipped kitchen. There was room for several people to prepare food at one time while still being able to socialize with others sitting at the dining table. Close drive to town and activities. The sounds of the rushing snow melt was healing. We would highly recommend

    Spacious, well stocked, comfortable home. Wonderful neighborhood for walks. Beautiful views of the mountains. And so easy to go back and forth to Alpine Meadows for skiing. We love home cooked food, and the kitchen has everything you need to make meals for a large group. My lasagne was a bit hit this year! :) Our favorite place to stay in Tahoe.

    We had a great stay here. Easy to get to and from the Alpine Base as we had kids/parents skiing at different times of the day. Great family room to hang out in and a good backyard to playing in the snow. We'd absolutely stay again!
