The Mountain Spa Lodge is a spacious, lodge-style retreat ideal for large groups and families, accommodating up to 12 guests. Located in the Highlands neighborhood, this home exudes rustic charm with oversized rough-cut timbers framing separate living and dining areas, providing an inviting and cozy atmosphere. The lodge features a fully remodeled and well-equipped kitchen with modern appliances and ample space for preparing meals, along with a large dining area perfect for gatherings. Relax by the wood-burning stove in the expansive living room, watch your favorites on any of the 3 TVs with cable, or step out onto the sunny front deck to enjoy peek lake views.
On the main floor, you'll find a private primary suite that serves as a spa-like oasis, complete with a king bed, luxurious en suite bathroom with a jacuzzi tub, sauna, and access to natural light. Two additional queen bedrooms with a shared bathroom offer comfort and style for guests. The remodeled den provides a second living space, featuring a TV, queen bed, private bathroom, and access to the brand-new deck with a hot tub—perfect for soaking under the stars after a day of Tahoe adventures. Upstairs, the second floor includes a loft area for kids to unwind and a secluded guest room with a king bed and private bathroom, which can serve as a secondary master suite, offering privacy and flexibility for larger groups. While the newly added backyard deck provides another gathering space with a year-round hot tub and outdoor seating (available during summer) with access through a back door from the kitchen. A fenced yard makes it ideal for pets, making this home a pet-friendly haven in the heart of Tahoe.
The Mountain Spa Lodge also includes a 2-car garage with additional driveway parking for up to two more vehicles. The driveway is steep so backing in is recommended during winter months. An electric car charging outlet (240V NEMA 14-50) is available in the garage, ensuring EV compatibility with the proper adapter.
In winter, The Mountain Spa Lodge is your cozy base for all Tahoe has to offer. Located just a short drive from top ski resorts like Northstar and Palisades Tahoe/Alpine Meadows, it's a perfect spot for skiing and snowboarding. Cross-country skiing trails are only a block away so you can access the trails with ease. After a day in the snow, return to the warm wood stove and enjoy a movie night in the comfortable living area.
During summer, the lodge offers easy access to nearby scenic beaches for swimming and relaxing, as well as river rafting and extensive hiking and biking trails just steps from the front door. Tahoe City's shopping, dining, and lakefront activities are a short drive away, allowing you to make the most of Tahoe's beautiful summers.
