About this property
Two Ways to Stay: Choose the Suite-Only Rate OR Upgrade + Kitchen for More Space
Welcome to TaHome!
Walk to the lake, relax in the hot tub, and choose the space that fits your Tahoe stay.
TaHome offers two ways to stay: book our comfortable first-floor guest suite at a lower nightly rate, or upgrade to add the upstairs kitchen, living room, and second-story balcony.
Both options include two bedrooms with California King beds, a bathroom, in-room amenities, a private balcony, and access to the community hot tub, seasonal pool, tennis, pickleball, saunas, and more. You’ll be just minutes from the beach, marina, cafés, dining, and some of North Lake Tahoe’s best recreation.
CHOOSE FROM TWO WAYS TO STAY SUITE ONLY — Default Booking
Enjoy the dedicated first-floor guest suite at our lower nightly rate.
Your space includes:
2 bedrooms with California King beds Bathroom Ground floor balcony with woodland views Mini-fridge Microwave Keurig coffee maker Breakfast table In-unit washer and dryer No kitchen access with this option
A note about the space: TaHome is a three-story townhome. With the Suite Only option, your dedicated guest accommodations are on the first floor. The owners live primarily elsewhere but may occasionally occupy the second and third floors when they are in Tahoe.
The main entry is shared, but the owners do not enter the first-floor guest area during your stay. Curtains provide a visual divider between the guest area and the shared entry/stairway, while both bedrooms and the bathroom have locking doors for privacy. For guests traveling with pets, a pet gate is available to help keep dogs downstairs.
Because the guest suite and upstairs living areas are within the same townhome, guests may occasionally hear normal household activity from the floors above when the owners are present.
UPGRADE — ADD KITCHEN + LIVING ROOM
Want more room to cook, gather, and spread out? Upgrade your reservation to include:
Full kitchen Living room Second-story balcony Exclusive use of the upstairs living space and entry
Upgrade: +$50/night
Kitchen and living-room access can be added after booking, and we’ll work with you to adjust the reservation.
