The Space:
We're one block from Heavenly's California Lodge. Our guests walk to the tram carrying their ski gear — it's as close to ski-in/ski-out as South Lake Tahoe gets without being on-resort.
Our recently remodeled home sits in a quiet residential neighborhood backed by US Forest Service land. Towering pines. No traffic noise (just the sound of your family arguing over bocce.
The yard is the centerpiece: our private hot tub under the trees, a regulation bocce ball court, fire pit, natural gas grill, and a kids' play structure — all exclusively yours.
Inside, the open-plan living area features a gas fireplace, slate flooring, and a gourmet kitchen with concrete counters and alder cabinetry. Send the kids up to the game loft (foosball, large flat screen) while you cook dinner or soak in the hot tub from the back deck overlooking the forest.
We're local contractor-owners — our response times are fast, and we pride ourselves in our local knowledge.
We look forward to hosting you :D.

About the host
Hosted by Duggan Smith
I came to Tahoe on vacation from Australia in 1998 and was immediately smitten. In fact I moved here permanently ten years ago and have been loving it ever since. I am lucky enough to teach snowboarding at Heavenly each winter and work in construction during the summer. My wife Angela and I feel very lucky to be able to raise our two kids in this amazing outdoor playground.
Why they chose this property
We fell into the vacation rental business in 2010 after buying a house together with my mum, so Granny would have a place to stay when visiting our kids. Its been a great combination of my passions for real estate, construction and customer service. Location is everything for this house, immediate access to skiing, hiking and biking, incredibly quiet but just a couple of minutes to the center of the action. I gutted this house completely and rebuilt it with a new layout optimizing the space.
