About this property
Ellis Peak by AvantStay | Beautiful McKinney Cabin w/ Filtered Lake Views
Welcome to Ellis Peak, an AvantStay home!
With unbeatable lake views, you'll love sitting on the front porch and reading a book or chatting with friends under the pines. Natural light, a warm color palette, and plush furniture provide an inviting space after a day on the lake. With an airy living area, lake-facing deck, and fully equipped kitchen, this house has plenty of space for your group to comfortably spread out. Experience why "West Shore is the Best Shore"!
Situated in the snowy Sierra Nevada Mountain range straddling the border between California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe offers stunning panoramic scenery and year-round adventure. Visitors flock here especially to ski and snowboard on dramatic slopes that seem to fall into the abyss of the lake’s cobalt blue water. Whether you’re looking for a day in the mountains or a booze cruise on the lake, you can have it all in Tahoe.
Nearby Attractions: McKinney Rubicon beach, Meeks Bay Marina and Beach, Rubicon Trail (Hiking and Biking), Palisades Tahoe, Alpine Meadows Ski Area, Eagle Falls Trail (Hiking), Lighthouse Spa, Inspiration Point Vista (Lookout Point).

A great Tahoe experience. Easy check-in, ample space for a large family and a short walk down to Chambers Landing. We’ll be back!

Thank you, Alfonso. We’re glad the home’s space, location, and check-in process made your Tahoe stay enjoyable. We’d be delighted to welcome you and your family back again.
Beautiful Property, on of our favorite locations, almost perfect!
Beautiful property and overall very clean. We did have a little problem entering because the door lock tumbler was just spinning. Also a couple of the windows would not close. Avantstay was great and sent out a great guy to show me how to deal with the door and help me close the windows that were broken. I said that worked for us and they could fix them after we left. The classic sofas and pillows in the living room looked great but we were more comfortable in the upstairs family room.

Great location. Property is quite dated. It was clean and comfortable other than the smoke from the Caldor fire. Not sure we would stay here again without a significant upgrade to the property.
