About this property

Tahoe 'Stonehenge'... the Home No One Can Forget... Spectacular!

This spectacular, prize-winning executive home is on Lake Tahoe's South Shore. To reach the front door, one must enter into a great stone cavern formed by massive granite boulders under a sod roof. The end of the fifty by thirty-five foot living room is formed by a single stone. In the center of this great room lies another boulder and a mossy trout pond. This brings indoors the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, patios, and lawns. Two gigantic fireplaces rise and pass through the room's twenty-three foot ceiling. Overlooking all of this are two sweeping, curved balconies which provide additional views of the mountain peaks and green forests that have made the Tahoe Basin world famous.
'Stonehenge' is a beautiful vacation home built on a rocky ridge overlooking the woods and meadows of Tahoe Valley and the crest of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada. It is located at the edge of the El Dorado National Forest and no house or rooftop, nor street or wire, mar its magnificent view.


The end of the 50 by 35 foot living room is formed by a single stone. In the center of this great room lies another boulder and a mossy trout pond, bringing the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, patio and lawns inside. Opposite the living room's glass solarium is the dining room, breakfast corner and tiled kitchen. Two gigantic fireplaces rise and pass through the room's 23 foot ceiling. Overlooking all of this are two sweeping, curved balconies which provide additional views of the mountain peaks and green forests that have made the Tahoe Basin world famous. Each bedroom is decorated with a unique and distinctive decor, the Greek Myth room, the Timberline room, Tyrolean, Mediterranean and Wildlife room. The unusual Austrian-styled 'Strube' has its own stucco fireplace and provides a separate hideaway for games or intimate conversation. A library contains books and memorabilia gathered in travels to distant parts of the world.

Mountain climbers who sometimes scale the boulders near 'Stonehenge' acclaim its distinctive setting, intimate and blending with the environment, isolated, yet only five minutes from the center of town, elegantly styled but with a homespun sort of warmth. WEDDINGS, PARTIES, AND OTHER ACTIVITIES ARE NOT ALLOWED. ONLY 10 PEOPLE DAY OR NIGHT. No hot tub use after 10 Pm Dogs are allowed with written permission only text or phone

Most Unique House in Tahoe

After searching through many listings for Tahoe vacation rentals, it was a blessing to find Stonehenge. The owners have put a lot of care into their eclectic home. Everyone in the group fell in love with the house. It is truly a gem!

One of a kind - amazing home

From the moment you drive up, the moment you walk to the front door, the moment you step inside, and all the moments after that....this is almost indescribable. And that’s also true for the back yard, the hot tub, the incredible rock formations, the mountain vistas. Very secluded and private. Adding to the charm and mystique — the decor is pure 60’s and 70’s and a bit rustic. Our extended family of 12 (ages 20 months to 74), including 3 small dogs, all had a wonderful time. Did I mention the cottontail bunnies, chipmunks, little lizards, blue jays and hummingbirds out the back door? We will be talking about this vacation forever.

This is not a luxury experience, but great contact with the host. If any guests have mobility problems, it could be a challenge as the beautiful downstairs levels are largely stone.

Perfect for a Family gathering

The spaciousness of Stonehenge home combine that with great vistas, the morning sunrises, the evening sunsets, and star gazing at night, make this one of the best places to gather a family on vacation. The large outdoor picnic table allows for a meal and fun conversation. So close to hiking and Lake Tahoe, it was a perfect getaway.

Once in a lifetime experience

When are going to ever be able to say you stayed in a house built around natural boulders. What a unique experience. This house is a step back into early 1970s. Rosemary is absolutely the perfect host. She made recommendations for hikes all of which were amazing and a little less congested. I would have loved to have a coffee with this sweetheart. This is not on the lake but only 15 minutes away. My kids had so much fun climbing the rocks and the starlit skies were a perfect end to the night. A trip we will never forget. Would very much recommend.

What an incredible property!

My girlfriends and I had the best time at Stonehenge! Rosmarie was a great host and very helpful leading up and during the trip. And wow this house was so cool! It had so much character and the views outside were amazing, we were in awe when we arrived. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need. There was plenty of space for us to all hang out and everything was clean and comfortable. The spring weather was pretty sporadic, we had beautiful sunshine one day and a thunder storm the next, but it actually made it even more fun! We were there for 3 nights, I only wish we could’ve stayed longer! Definitely would love to go back in the snow. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Nice View!

Overall we liked staying in the house! Nice view!!! I would like to suggest a few things, living rooms were small and were a little old, it could use an upgrade on the furniture. We could use only one chimney, it had about 4. The balcony rails were loose and dangerous. But we had fun and enjoyed time with the family!!!!

Not satisfied

When we initially saw this property in Pictures we were so excited but honestly didn’t meet our expectations, kitchen is small and needs upgrade, they advertise it sleeps 14 but in reality it doesn’t and there is no sit out area where 14 ppl can all sit together for a chit chat. The rooms are small and two of the restrooms has no doors, it matters when you go with your friends. We didn’t get proper hot water one day during our stay. There are many other small issues but overall This property needs some maintenance and upgrades. Definitely little disappointed with the stay.

Magical Getaway

I invited a dozen friends to celebrate my birthday over a weekend at Stonehenge. The main areas are spacious and beautifully designed to create little spots where people can have a moment to themselves but not be too far from the action. There are four bedrooms, a game room, and an upstairs loft area that has two couches. The hot tub is perfectly placed with a stunning view and complete privacy - you feel like the only person in the entire mountain range! Kitchen could use a little updating but was well-stocked. We cooked nearly around the clock and had plenty of dishes and utensils. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked also. The whole decor is a little more quirky and cabin rustic than comes through on the photos; wouldn't say it's very modern. But I think that was part of the charm! Rosmarie was easy to reach and very helpful if we needed anything.

One of the most fun rentals we've ever stayed in

This place is just magical. sits on top of a hill view unbeatable views right out your back door. we stayed with two other families and our kids were always outside climbing on the rocks and exploring. You'll be hard pressed to find a funkier house than this one. Dishwasher broke while we were there and the owner, who always made herself available, had a repairman there the next morning to fix the problem. She also recommended that we go to Angora Lakes while we visited Tahoe. We did - and you should too! Highly recommend this hidden gem.
