PERSONAL TOUCH

The name Alpenglow Aerie pays homage to the mesmerizing evening alpenglow, the elevated bluff upon which the house rests, and the owner's storied past as an F-15E Strike Eagle fighter pilot. Each aspect of this home invites you to embrace the majesty of Tahoe's natural beauty and create unforgettable memories.

BE OUR GUEST

Let us deal with the hassle while you unwind. In addition to chef services, our concierge can arrange for your fridge to be stocked upon arrival. If you need a high chair or pack and play for the little one, just let us know! We even provide kid safe dishes so you don’t need to bring them from home. From lift tickets, to boat reservations, we have you covered. Just ask.

The living room is a cozy gathering place for you and your guests, featuring a metal hanging fireplace with stone hearth in the middle of the living space to keep you warm in the colder months.

Bathrooms come appointed with cotton towels, toilet paper, Kleenex, make-up towels, cotton swabs and Q-tips. We also include hair dryers and luxury toiletries from public goods including shampoo, conditioner, and soaps. 

Spend time on the dual level outdoor deck providing a private, relaxing space to breathe in the fresh mountain air and take in the unbelievable panoramic view of Lake Tahoe.

A word about Air Conditioning:
While folks from Nor Cal will understand, most people new to Tahoe will be surprised to find that most homes do not have A/C. How could a home in 2022 not have A/C?? Good question, but this is Tahoe.. nature’s air conditioning turns on every day from about 5pm onwards (and in until 10AM). We suggest opening windows close to 10 or 11am, and leaving them open until bed time. Even on warm summer days, the breeze from the lake and mountains will not only fill the home with the sweetest smelling fresh air, but will cool off the house quickly by dinner time.

You have full and total access of our home during your stay. Feel free to stream any of your subscriptions on our Smart TV, make a home cooked meal for your family in our fully stocked chef's kitchen, or jump in your car and head out to the South Shore for shopping or an epic view on the Gondola at Heavenly.

If any problems arise, we will do our best to take action ASAP. Although there is not staff on site like a hotel, we do have our team in the area that can help.

Alpenglow Aerie is located on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe in Tahoma, California. Nestled in the woods high on the mountainside, you will have access to one of the most majestic views on earth.

-Quiet and peaceful neighborhood in the woods
- less than 5 minutes away from private neighborhood beach
~10 minutes from Emerald Bay, Vikingsholm, Homewood Ski Resort, West Shore Cafe and Chambers landing
~30 minutes away from epic skiing at Palisades and Heavenly Ski Resorts and Truckee River Rafting
- 1 hour from the Reno Airport

One of the reasons you might be coming to the mountains is to escape the hustle and bustle of city living. That being said, the secluded nature of Alpenglow Aerie means that you will be relying on your own private transportation to get from place to place. In the summer months just about any car will do, but you will definitely want a four wheel drive in the winter. Don’t rely on the standard car rental companies to make sure you get a quality car. Let our concierge book you a luxury vehicle that will be waiting for you curbside at the airport when you arrive. We can also arrange for a private shuttle bus for larger groups.

There is a keyless entry lock to the home which a code will be provided to you after you book with us.

You will have access to our digital guidebook and house manual so you can enjoy a stress free stay with us at the cabin.

We are pet friendly! Please reach out to us directly to discuss price and availability.

Please Note: some items will be seasonally available due to weather constraints (e.g. deck furniture, grill, beach access, etc.). While we try to keep all amenities available as much as possible, we are not able to continue to offer outdoor amenities during the winter months.

Also note: county regulations restrict street parking during winter (usually Oct 1 - May 1) months to make way for snow plows, so please park in the garage or driveway only or your vehicle will be ticketed and/or towed. Summer street parking is permissible. Additionally, we kindly request no parking in front of the bear box designated for garbage disposal.

Bear Safety: Our home is nestled in an area that bears find appealing. For your safety and the protection of our property, please ensure that bear wires are up and secured whenever possible. We kindly remind guests to always arm the wires from the evening until the morning. Please note that guests will be held liable for any damages caused by a bear break-in if the security measures were not followed, as recorded by our external security cameras.

If you would like to host any sort of gathering at our home, please discuss this prior to arrival and we will try to accommodate your request. Our concierge may be available to help with event coordination as well.
