Gray Bear Lake View By Tahoe Getaways - 5 BR 5.5 Bath w Private Hot Tub and Lake Access
A truly exceptional lake view vacation home, Gray Bear Estate is designed to deliver the ultimate vacation experience. The open concept living area sits upstairs, with the expansive Chef's kitchen at the heart of the home. Outfitted with an eight burner Wolf range, butcher block island, mahogany bar seating four, and formal dining area for eight, we expect many evenings to be spent enjoying a home cooked meal. Adjacent, a cozy seating area surrounds a rock wall with gas log fireplace, large wall mounted flat screen, and views of Lake Tahoe beyond. Escape to the downstairs copper topped bar with seating for four, air hockey table, flat screen TV, and gas fireplace.
Upstairs from the main living area, the spacious Primary bedroom feels like your own private sanctuary within the Estate. A King bed faces floor to ceiling windows revealing tree filtered lake views. A gas fireplace, flat screen television, and large walk-in closet make the space especially comfortable. The ensuite bath includes a jetted tub, shower, separate water closet and designated make-up vanity. A second King guest suite complete with a new flat screen TV and ensuite bath is located on this floor as well.
The third and fourth Primary style suites are located on the home's lower level, both with King beds, fireplaces, televisions, and ensuite bathrooms of their own. Also on this floor, the bunk room is perfect for the younger travelers, and has its own bathroom with tub. Looking for a quiet retreat to get some work done? A built in office nook sits off the kitchen.
And the fun doesn't end indoors! Off of the main living area, there is an outdoor kitchen and bar seating perfect for a sunset happy hour. During the summer months, take advantage of the picturesque view from the expansive deck, with patio dining and oversized lounge furniture. Follow the short steps down to the secluded public beach below. And year round, end your day with a relaxing soak in the hot tub, located on the lower level deck.

Great Vacation
Spent the weekend for a family birthday and it was wonderful. Beautiful home, clean, great location... the deck was wonderful! Good communications with Tahoe Getaways regarding our stay even while we were there. 5 out of 5 stars!
We had a wonderful family reunion! The place was perfect for our needs. We enjoyed many hours on the deck, and visited the beachfront area for early morning and some after dinner swims. The hot tub was an added treat!The bedrooms offer perfect sleeping arrangements for our family of 12. We were very comfortable throughout our stay.Tahoe Getaways were wonderful in response to our questions and needs. We are very thankful for their service.

Wonderful spacious cabin
Can't say enough good things about the Gray Bear estate, we loved it. Humongous kitchen and common area and big bedrooms with TVs and fireplaces in each. Big deck with views of the lake and a great grill and outdoor bar set up. We'll definitely be returning!

Beautiful comfortable home - wonderful family vacation
We enjoyed a delightful visit to North Lake Tahoe in this gracious home. It is beautifully appointed with everything we needed. In addition to eating out, we prepared a meal in the gourmet kitchen - it's remarkable. We played games at the dining room table, watched a movie, sipped coffee on one of several comfortable deck chairs. The house is in a convenient location for quick access to a never-ending list of outstanding hikes. My family want to return next year and make this an annual event. Thank you for providing this opportunity for us.
The house was really spacious, with lots of different areas to hang out. Our group of 12 felt very comfortable and relaxed. The kitchen was large, multiple people can cook at the same time and great that there are multiple dishwashers.

Awesome House!
This house was amazing and we enjoyed our time there. The only complaint that we have is that the house could of been cleaned better, the balcony was dirty and there were tons of spider webs throughout the house. We would stay here again.

Thank you for the great review, John! Our properties go through a deep clean twice a year. This home is now cob-web free! It was a pleasure hosting your party. We look forward to your next Tahoe vacation!!
The home was clean and comfortable for my large family. It was convenient to have a full bathroom for each bedroom and the open layout of the kitchen, dining, and living room allowed us to all be together in a common area. It was also in a great location, just a 5 minute stroll to the lake and close to a grocery store. Would love to come back here again!

We stayed at the Gray Bear Estate with our whole family to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday. It was one of our best vacations as a whole family! The home is cozy yet spacious enough that everyone had enough space to spread out. Amenities were on point, everything you need was there and more! My children kept saying “Mom can we please book this cabin every year?” We are sad to leave today but already looking forward to our next visit.

We are so happy to hear that you had such an amazing experience. Please come back for some more family fun.
We really enjoyed this property - it was beautifully appointed and we enjoyed the deck. We were able to access the beach but we did miss not having access to a dock so we could sit out on the lake (the beach is very rocky). I appreciated how responsive the Tahoe Properties management company was to our questions.

Wonderful home with awesome kitchen and plenty of beds and bathrooms.
A large house with plenty of room. Has everything you need for a great time. The gourmet kitchen was very impressive but does need new pots and pans. The house is close to the highway so you do have road noise, mainly in the front bedrooms.

Good location but hard to get in and out front drive. Park in back off Ferguson. Lots of space for everyone. Some street noise. Plenty of fans since no AC. Hot tub could use repair on jets but overall we loved our stay.

This is a beautiful, beautiful house! Very spacious and thoughtfully appointed. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need to feed a large group. The master bedroom is palatial. All the other bedrooms are extremely nice and each one has its own bathroom. Everyone loved their stay here. We’re all talking about coming back.
