This home is close to the Lake and all local activities. About a 5 mile drive will get you to Lake or Casinos or Heavenly Ski Resort. There is so much to do year round, hiking biking skiing, boating, kayaking, snow shoeing, sledding. There is so many links online to endless things to do and so many things you can rent if you don't have it, makes it an easy place to fly in and out. The mountain air is so fresh and the scenery is spectacular. Of course if you just want to relax at the home you couldn't have chosen a better equipped paradise! The pool is heated of course, steam, sauna, hot tub, play some pool or foosball, or enjoy a feast with friends and family. I manage my home myself and eliminate the management company fees so the cost now is very comparable to plenty of houses here or even less expensive and yet nothing compares! Thousands of guests have stayed here since 2000. I've yet to have anyone who was not impressed. I'm always told how photos don't do it justice.

Additional information about rental rates

  • Any stay $250 cleaning fee plus 10% Local Tax. Some Holidays extra. Refundable $500 security deposit
  • I will hold dates further out than 90 days in advance with $500 deposit, just ask. (except Christmas/ New Year weeks) otherwise full payment of all rent and fees secures a reservation.
    I don't always get back here to edit the calendar but I try. NOTHING else rents like this home, several months book 100%! So please plan ahead, even well into 2010.
    If you see that within 7 days there are unreserved dates contact me and I will discount. This home is extremely popular and I very often have people wanting overlapping dates so my fair and simple policy is first to pay gets the dates they want. Rarely will I hold dates unless I've made a special short hold pending payment. All major credit cards accepted and required. Here's how it works: You tell me dates, I confirm, I send contract in email, you return signed, I call for Credit Card at phone number you entered on contract, payment is quickly confirmed then your Paradise awaits. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
  • Christmas and New Year weeks: Christmas 2009 and Newyear have been reserved. Next year is OPEN!
    Plan ahead! Due to extreme demand for these weeks special rates and rules apply. Rates are $800 per night plus the usual fees ($250 cleaning, 10% tax, and refundable $500 security deposit). This home is a dream come true at Christmas and has always booked for the last 9 years so plan way ahead.

Further details for this vacation house rental in South Lake Tahoe, California

Clarify Rates etc: I'm not allowed enough space in other areas to make everything clear so always simply email me with questions but I'll also try a bit here. You may hold dates if 90 days in advance or more with only a $500 deposit, not to be confused with the $500 security deposit that will be charged with full payment due within 90 days. If you cancel before 90 days you only have to pay a 3% cancellation fee on the deposit only ($15). Reserving ahead not only gets you the dates you want but also locks in the price which as you can tell from my calendar with demand so high, it is very likely I will be raising rates at any time now. All details will be sent to you in my standard contract once you've chosen dates, and will clearly state all fees. You are still under no obligation until you return it signed and complete whatever payment is due. Also though, I too am under no obligation to hold dates until same is done. Very often people want overlapping dates so I have one rule: first to pay gets it.

House History: Well people ask so here is. House built in 2000 and designed as a luxury vacation rental with amenities like no other. The designer had it right because what sets this house aside from so many other choices are the unique amenities. I bought the house in 2004 and still had guests on the calendar so I gave it a try. The house has always rented more often, far above other houses. When I decided to no longer use a management agency in late 2007 I forwarded the savings on to the guests. The house has since booked much more often than ever despite the economy. Everyone Loves the home, thousands of guests have stayed here! Pricing compares to houses similar in size but without the amenities. So why stay in just any house when you can stay in a castle? My best deals are if last minute, meaning with 7 days, you do not see dates booked then I will discount and make you a great deal! These deals are rare though so if you want your choice of dates plan well ahead. Always just ask me anything.

Availability Calendar: I don't know why but this website chooses to display a very confusing angle shaded calendar that makes one wonder which days are open and which are not with the angled shading crossing over dates which some are taken and others not. Easiest to simply contact me and I'll always make everything perfectly clear, don't be shy.

Ski: This home is only about 5 miles to Heavenly Ski Resort which offers great slopes and the best views of the Lake below.

Golf: See why Tiger chooses to have a home here in Tahoe. The thin air allows the fall to really take off. There are plenty of nice golf courses here and a driving range and course are only about 2 miles from this home.

Other Activities: Floating in the Pool

Favorite Vacation Home Ever !!

Bay San Francisco CA USA
Review Submitted: April 8, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
Kids loved it, grandparents loved it, husband and I loved it. We travel often and I've been all over the globe and have never found any home so filled with amenities. You float in the pool at night with waterfall on and fireplace and your favorite music, plus they have some special fiber lighting. It was absolute heaven! My only comment was his ad needs better pictures and Dan said he's working on that.
We will be back for certain.
Owner's Response: Thank you! I treat all my guests like family and it always seems to pay off. Never had an unhappy guest in all these years, and that's hundreds of people!

Fantastic Fantasy

Review Submitted: November 9, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Everything we had hoped for a Snowy mountain getaway and more! We didn't even realize the pool was in the house! We thought it was in some shared development, wow, we were amazed. Great skiing in Early April by the way. Then it's so great to come "home" and go for a swim and a steam. Only down side is you have to leave eventually!

Tahoe Castle

JustaFarmGurl Denair
Review Submitted: August 18, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Overall we had good experience with this property. Nice layout & good amenities. Having said that, this cabin could use a really good thorough cleaning. Lots of things to do close by. Nice biking, hiking, walking trails nearby. The pool was nice for the grandkids, the steam, dry sauna, & hot tub was great for adults. I would use this property again.
Owner's Response: Have new Maid service now. Absolutely inexcusable, but the problem is resolved.

Unbelievable!

James and Mary San Diego CA US
Review Submitted: March 31, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
We just stayed here recently in March 2009, my wife and some of our friends. I just don't know where to begin, everything was great and the house, or should I say castle, was everything we had hoped for. Great location, warm pool, everyone had a really great time, skiing was excellent and it was really nice to come back to a steam, sauna, and hot tub after battling the mountain all day. One other thing, we do our research for getting a deal and this house was priced similar to houses with none of the features here. You get better deals when owner direct, that's for sure.
