Conveniently situated between the town of Kings Beach and Northstar Ski Resort, this home places you in the perfect location for year-round fun.

Northstar is also a family-friendly destination with an ice skating rink and a movie theater to keep everyone entertained. In the summer, Northstar transforms into a hiker's paradise, featuring numerous trails for all skill levels and a world-class mountain biking facility. For even more hiking options, you’re just a 5-minute drive from the Brockway Summit trailhead, part of the famous Tahoe Rim Trail, which provides stunning views of Lake Tahoe. When you're in the mood to unwind, a quick 6-minute drive will take you to Kings Beach, where you can relax on white sand beaches, rent a variety of watercraft, or explore local supermarkets, boutique shops, spas, and an array of restaurants. Be sure to check the Kings Beach community calendar for free summer outdoor concerts and the farmer’s market schedule during your stay. If you’re looking for more entertainment, you’re just 10 minutes from the Nevada state line, where you can find concert venues and several casinos.

Those wanting to utilize Tahoe's FREE transportation bus services (TART) will find the nearest bus stop just under 2 miles from the home at Hwy 28 at The Sands. Alternatively, you can take a short drive down to Kings Beach and use the FREE park-and-ride service to reach popular destinations like Olympic Valley and Northstar California Resort. With both Hwy 28 and Hwy 267 just minutes away, you can easily make day trips to the stunning surrounding areas around Tahoe City. Northstar California Resort is just a 9-minute drive away via Hwy 267. Continue on this highway to reach the historic mountain town of Truckee, or stop for a hike at Brockway Summit, one of the trailheads for the famous Tahoe Rim Trail, offering breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe. You can also take a day trip into Nevada, as the state line is just a 5-minute drive away, and the town of Reno is a 45-minute drive from the home. Head south on Hwy 28 to arrive in Tahoe City in 24 minutes, or reach the popular Olympic Valley within 30 minutes to enjoy the slopes at Palisades Tahoe ski resort.

Mold in the shower. Sinks that don't drain. Oven that doesn't heat. No internet. A heating grate that broke and could cause serious injury to child and adult. Outlets that don't work. A broken chair seat that was dangerous. The property was pet friendly. The road was plowed regularly.
