Stunning luxury getaway w/ hot tub, fire pit, huge backyard & walk to food/bars

Latitude 39º Lodge is the perfect place for a luxurious and relaxing getaway to Lake Tahoe. The Lodge is one of fewer than 100 vacation homes in South Lake Tahoe that can still legally be rented short term, and it's an ideal home base for the Tahoe trip you've been waiting for.

Better yet, it's — somewhat uniquely among rental properties — located within walking distance to bars, restaurants (some really fantastic ones too!), multiple breweries, a CVS, grocery stores and much more. Avoid Tahoe traffic and just walk for basic needs!

In this home, we've smartly placed nearly all bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs, allowing privacy and quiet in those rooms, while the downstairs serves as the gathering space for your group. With four sets of double french doors connecting the great room and the backyard, your group will float between the backyard, the deck, the hot tub, the great room's dining area, the two stone fireplaces, the kitchen and the bar — with plenty of room for your group to spread out.

The backyard, especially from April to November, is the highlight of the home. Dozens of pine trees keep the yard shaded and the temperatures down during the day, while the hot tub and fire pit will keep your group warm long into the evenings. The backyard is both completely fenced in and enormous (12,000 square feet lot), so it's great for both kids and dogs. Two solid-wood corn hole boards and bags are provided, as is a wood-lined bocce court (and balls).

Four strands of 250 string lights have been strung throughout the backyard, making it easy to keep the games or cozy conversation going in the backyard, even long after the sun goes down. And when your group gets cold, you can utilize the 60” gas fire pit surrounded locally made wood furniture, and two electric HEATED lounge chairs — or dip into the luxurious and large 7-person hot tub. Often in the summer, despite all Tahoe has to offer, we opt to relax and hang out in the great room and backyard all weekend.

Meals are a highlight at the Lodge! Whoever is doing the cooking has at their disposal an enormous 7-burner Weber Summit BBQ and smoker (stock up at the renowned Overland Meats, 400 feet away!), a five-burner range stovetop, two ovens, a well-stocked kitchen, a double sink, granite countertops and an oversized refrigerator. Your group will be able to enjoy their meal at the extra-large dining table (seating for 14), at the bar (seats 5) or outside at the outdoor dining table on the deck (seats 8).

For groups that drink, the two double under-counter fridges, a wine cooler, keggerator (with CO2) and beer tap behind the bar make the newly remodeled bar a wonderful place to socialize and enjoy the drink of your choice.

For those that need to get some work done, or just keep up with friends on FaceTime, the Lodge features lightning-fast 400mbps Internet, with a Google Wifi mesh network system ensuring that the wifi is fast throughout the entire home. If anyone needs to split off and get some work done, there’s a 32” LG monitor, desk, office chair, mouse and keyboard in the den.

If you decide to kick back and watch TV, there's a 70” flat-screen television in the great room with an Apple TV that features Netflix, Youtube TV (has most cable channels) and HBO Go. Even better, there’s a surround-sound system, allowing you to get the most of your TV watching, stream your music via Airplay or even plug in your own device (Playstation, Blue-ray Player, laptop, etc) into the spare “Game System” HDMI port should you prefer that.

There’s a newly built, separate laundry room with a double washer and dryer setup, if anyone in your group needs to laundry. And for anyone driving an electric vehicle, free EV charging is provided via the Tesla Gen 3 charger in the garage.

Towels, shampoos, soaps, TP, paper towels and every basic necessity is provided for you, so you don’t need to bring anything except your group, and food to cook.

— UPSTAIRS AND SLEEPING SPACES —
Upstairs, we’ve maximized the number of beds and bedrooms in the house, and outfitted all beds with super comfortable mattresses and pillows. There are 8 fairly separate sleeping spaces in the house spanning 6 bedrooms, as two bedrooms have lofted spaces within them (and the Heavenly Woods bedroom is accessed via a door at the back of the Heavenly bedroom).

I know that’s a little confusing, so I’ve listed all the sleeping places below, and looking and photos can help understand the bed layout as well.

Large “Heavenly” master bedroom: Queen bed, plus a loft with a queen and twin bed (in-room split bath with jacuzzi tub)
“Heavenly Woods” bedroom: Queen bed. This room is the most private and secluded, but you must walk through the Heavenly bedroom to access it (split bath just outside the door)
Small “Kirkwood” master bedroom: Queen bed, plus a loft with a twin bunk bed and one queen bed (direct door to shared split bath)
Back “Squaw” bedroom #1: Queen bed (shared bath)
Back “Northstar” bedroom #2: Queen bed (shared bath)
Den: Pull-out couch queen bed that inflates, allowing it to be just as comfortable as a regular bed. This room has a door to the kitchen. (shared bath)

— CHECK IN/OUT —
Lock access is electronic. Default check-in is 5pm and check out is 10am, but early check in and late check may be available (no guarantees, especially in peak winter and summer). If available, it's $75/hr for early arrival or late check out.

— LOCATION —
We bought this house first and foremost because of the location. After renting a couple homes in isolated locations, we found ourselves not wanting to drive everywhere. So, we found the Lodge! It's super centrally located and walkable to nearby stores and restaurants -- a rare feature for high-end Tahoe homes. There are 3 major grocery stores within a 15-min walk (six within a 10 min drive!), along with a Bevmo, dozens of great restaurants, multiple breweries, hiking/biking paths, a CVS, a 24-hr hospital and ER, salons, bars, a plant shop and all the other shops the Y area has to offer. Check out my map for a full description of nearby amenities.

To set expectations and avoid surprises, the downside of walkability is that house is in a mixed-use neighborhood (there's a pre-school school, apartment building and an office on the block), and there is a RV park across the street. It's incredibly safe (I once left two $2,500 road bikes in the garage with the garage door open all night), so it's really just an aesthetic issue, with an occasional neighbor playing music you may hear. Typically though, it's the Lodge that's the loudest house on the block :)

Additionally, the backyard feels very private despite many neighbors nearby. Most feel that the tradeoff is worth giving up some privacy and isolation to be able to access so many things by foot, but if you're looking for an isolated home in the woods with no neighbors in sight, I want to be up front that this isn't the place.

— ACTIVITIES —
Wondering what you'll do while you're in Tahoe? We’ve got some great sample itineraries we share with all guests for four different types of trips: 1) family reunion 2) outdoorsy weekend 3) guys weekend and 4) girls weekend.

Note: No big events that involve other guests, major furniture needs or catering, like weddings or receptions.

I stayed here with a group of girlfriends and the house had lots of space for everyone to hang out, inside and out in the backyard. We were most impressed by the kitchen and how convenient it was that all the cabinets were labeled for what’s in each one! Genius. Would stay here again, for sure. Thanks, Evan!

Family ski trip
We chose this property to bring our family together for a wonderful family ski trip. Three generations from four states and this setting allowed ample parking, sleeping, has a wonderful kitchen for cooking, and a cozy den for early morning coffee. The great room was perfect to watch movies, play trivial pursuit, games of any kind, and just hang out. We were only 15 minutes from heavenly ski and there are lots of great eateries nearby. The host was attentive to my questions and has set up a perfect place for enjoying Tahoe. Highly recommend! Thanks again

Family reunion
This property is ideal for large groups/large families. There were 13 of us, and everyone had a bed. We loved the great room with the large dining table. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you can possibly imagine. And, the backyard is fabulous with the fire pit, heated chairs and games to play. The owner, Evan, was very accommodating and easy to work with. We would definitely rent this property again.

Exceptional Property in SLT
Latitude 39 was the perfect decision for our group of 12 spending July 4th on the lake. The property is more spacious than the photos make it out to be, and everything is set up perfectly for hanging out both indoors and in the backyard. Its location is ideal for boat rentals, beach access, proximity to bars and cafes, and getting to the trails. Can't recommend it enough!

2023 Family Trip
This house was perfect for our Family trip. It had everything we could need to make our time in Lake Tahoe the best. Even the back yard provided a winter wonderland for the kids. The rooms couldn’t have been any better, giving the grands special places to enjoy sharing. The only draw back we found was the garage and driveway. Having three large SUVs was a very tight squeeze trying to park. Of course the huge amount of snow added to this problem. But in the end it was the perfect place for our family to enjoy a wonderful winter vacation. Everyone agreed it was the Best!

Easter weekend
Our arrival came early, which for a fee we were given early access. There were nine of us and a dog. Exploring all the rooms and sleeping options was a fun task. All the amenities were great, had everything we needed in the bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen. Evan and Marti were attentive and very nice. The only downside was that the amount of snow made the backyard inaccessible, which was a huge reason for choosing the place. We were looking forward for the dog and all of us to have a place to play outside. The bocce ball, corn hole, jacuzzi, grill and deck would have been lots of fun. We would absolutely book this lovely home again in a heartbeat.

Perfection in Snowy Tahoe!
We had incredible stay at this home with 10 people! It was a snowy winter wonderland and we were close to the town (with shops, grocery stores and restaurants) and close to the slopes! The home provided the ultimate kitchen (a cook's dream!) and the owners have literally thought of everything in the kitchen! You can tell by all the little things they provide that this place is not just a house but a home! The large dining table and family room connected to the kitchen was where we all spent our time together snuggled by a fireplace and playing games. We also enjoyed some time resting our sore muscles in the hot tub! Our 4-legged pups enjoyed the fenced backyard and being with the family! The communication with the owners was fantastic, quick and responsive! You can truly tell they care about your stay and experience! We look forward to returning to this wonderful home again! Don't hesitate to book this amazing place in Tahoe!

It was a nice big place that accommodated us
Even was great, not as responsive to VRBO messages but did respond quickly to phone calls. The property was spacious and evething you needed for the stay was provided. The BBQ was not cleaned, or the utensils for the BBQ, that was unpleasant, because our plan was to have burgers the first night. Also first morning for breakfast and having coffee we need to re wash most coffee mugs and many of the plates. This was a bit disappointing being we were required to pay a high cleaning fee. It's close to the main road and to shopping etc. The house is beautiful, well equipped with everything you need, games, towels, washers and dryers, kitchen has everything you will need, spices, oils, etc. that's a nice feature. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice big house with lots of rooms and awesome backyard!
We rented this place for our wedding with family. Overall was great! Really nice big house and the backyard is what sold us on it. The owner is really nice. HIs property managers not so much. I would just be aware that it is across the street from a trailer park which to be fair didn't cause us any problems but it is there. Also, the check in and check out times weren't very accommodating for our group. So be aware of those. Lastly lots of rules in this place. Some might be city ordinances and some owner request. Again, nice place and great backyard but just a few little tidbits to be aware of.

A great girls getaway
We have stayed in a lot of VRBO‘s over the past few years and I have to say this was one of the best. First of all the overall cleanliness of this house was amazing. From walking around on hardwood and carpet floors barefooted to the cleanliness of the bathrooms to the bedding. You just felt like the cleaning crew does an amazing job as we had just checked in hours after some other group had checked out. It is a great location and easy access to so many wonderful places to eat. Barely 8 minutes from the Beacon which is an absolute must for the view and great cocktails! Any concerns we had regarding the house were answered quickly from our wonderful host Evan. The house is cozy, the backyard is absolutely awesome, the fireplaces are so nice to have (both gas), the beds were so comfy, the kitchen was great to have more than one cook in (Although Except for breakfast we ate out almost every meal). The sound system was easy enough to connect to and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The rules may seem a little strict but we were so busy that by the end of every day we were more than ready to be indoors for quiet time by 10 PM LOL! The house is across the street from a mobile home park but it should be noted that it in no way takes away from the beauty and coziness of this house. First of all when you’re in the house all you notice is the amazing backyard view, all the trees, and the beauty of the great room that we spent most of our time in. There were nine of us women and the bedroom situation seem to fit perfectly for all of us plus there are so many different ways to accommodate any extras and yet we all still had privacy. We will definitely return to Lake Tahoe and stay at this property again. Evan puts together an itinerary for different types of groups that are staying at his property and while we didn’t follow everything in the girls weekend itinerar considering the time of year that we were there we did enjoy a vintage boat wine cruise on Lake Tahoe, an escape room, The Pourhouse, Breakfast at the Red Hut, dinner at the Riva Grill, drinks and appetizers at Azul, a little bit of gambling at Harrah’s and definitely cocktails in the restaurant on the top of Harvey’s for a great view of the lake. And last but not least a hike to Vikingsholm castle with a beautiful view of Emerald Bay. Also just a quick note this property is just minutes away from a TJ Maxx should you buy so much stuff you need to get an extra bag to get it all home 😊 as we did.

Overall this was a very nice property. However, it was not air conditioned and we happened to pick a week when the weather was unusually very hot (in the 90's) which made it very uncomfortable for sleeping. The kids enjoyed the bocci court and the bags game and were able to run around in the fenced yard to their hearts content.
