About the host

Hosted by Gary Bennett

Host profile image
I’m a new VRBO host who grew up in Northern California and has always loved spending time around Lake Tahoe and the surrounding mountains. This area has been a special part of my life for years, and I’m excited to share it with guests.
When I'm not working, you’ll usually find me out on the trails mountain biking or on the water with a stand‑up paddleboard. I love helping people experience all the beauty and adventure Tahoe has to offer, and my goal as a host is to make your stay comfortable, easy, and memorable.
I look forward to welcoming you!

Why they chose this property

I chose this neighborhood because it offers the perfect balance of peace, natural beauty, and convenience. The home sits at the very end of the street, giving it a private, quiet feel, with the Tahoe National Forest literally in the side yard. Step outside and you’re surrounded by towering pines, trails, and the sounds of nature. At the same time, you’re just minutes away from everything there is to love about the Sierras — hiking, mountain biking, skiing, paddle boarding, and charming local spots. It’s the ideal base for both relaxation and adventure.

What makes this property unique

This home stands out for its bright, open‑concept layout that creates a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere the moment you walk in. The oversized kitchen offers plenty of counter space and is perfect for families or groups who enjoy cooking and spending time together. Every window looks out into the forest, providing peaceful, tree‑filled views with no close neighbors in sight. Whether you’re preparing meals, sharing stories at the dining table, or relaxing in the living area, there’s plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy the privacy and beauty that surrounds the home.
