Welcome to The Great Escape, your ultimate dog-friendly retreat nestled in the heart of Kings Beach. This charming vacation rental offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and pet-friendly amenities, ensuring a memorable getaway for you and your furry companion.

The living area will be your go-to winter hangout spot, with its nap-worthy couches, a gas fireplace for après ski lounging and a 55-inch flat-screen TV. Watch favorite shows via Apple TV. In summertime, the second-level deck is the place to be! Plush outdoor furniture and a gas grill face your wooded and serene Tahoe setting. Back inside, the kitchen features modern stainless appliances, including a gas range and a dishwasher. Take a seat at the center island and sip wine while the cook gets to work. A rustic eight-person table adjacent to the kitchen is the perfect place to enjoy dinner together!

The home features an open concept upper floor between the kitchen, dining room, and living room area with a walk out back deck. Also on the upper floor is the primary king ensuite with a sofa sleeper for additional guests. Downstairs includes a queen bedroom and two full beds in the third bedroom, laundry area, hall bathroom, and access to the two car garage.

Ski, beach, shopping and dining are ultra-convenient at this North Lake Tahoe chalet! You're a six-block walk to dog-friendly Kings Beach State Park - voted Tahoe's best beach - and an easy hop to the ski slopes. Try your slopes skills at nearby Northstar, Alpine Meadow, Palisades Tahoe, Diamond Peak, and Mount Rose!

    Our family just had a great stay at this property. The house was the perfect size for my husband, teen son, 10 year old daughter, 2 year old son, dog and me. The open kitchen layout was ideal for us to hang out as a family while my husband and I cooked meals. The house is located within walking distance to the beach. The couch and arm chair in the family room are a bit old but plenty comfortable. We found all the beds comfortable too. The house was very clean. The kitchen supplies like the pots and pans could use a refresh but they got the job done. Overall we had a lovely stay and enjoyed the house very much.

    It is a nice home and included most supplies one needed. It is located in a neighborhood with houses very close (and normal noises). It is walking distance to beach and town but just know it is a bit of a hike and slightly uphill to return. On the weekdays in August it was easy to park closer to beach and town rather than walk. There is no blender which one of my friends needed for her smoothies.

    We loved our stay at The Great Escape. We did a lot of cooking and found everything we needed in the well stocked kitchen. Beds were comfortable for our family of 5. The back deck has nice, comfortable outdoor furniture with a dining table and grill. It was an easy walk to the beach and dinner/coffee. We would love to come back again.

    Good space & great location. Generally as advertised. Could use some standard amenities restocked (laundry detergent, salt/pepper, toilet paper & trash bags). The 2x bar chairs at the kitchen island are so rickety none of us felt safe using them. They should def be replaced. The garbage disposal (insinkerator) in the kitchen sink kept tripping the main Circuit Breaker along w/the associated GFCI colocated with the switch. An electrician should come out.

    We had a very good experience at this well-kept, clean, and conveniently located home in a quiet neighborhood. It was minutes from the restaurants in Kings Beach and Northstar. Home was very comfortable and spacious. One minor suggestion is it would have been nice to have some amenity items (shampoo. kleenex, lotion) for our stay. Other than that, we would definitely come again.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was in a perfect location for what we needed. Clean and comfortable though one of the beds had a broken frame from previous guests it still worked out just fine. They offered an early checkin for that inconvenience. The home is just a few blocks from the lake and a nice walk for our dog. We would come back again.

    The stay was great, beds comfy, water hot and location was prime! When we got there we did notice a lot of black dog hair on the ground maybe from previous guests but other than that everything was great!
