Spend Christmas in Santa's Cottage Max Occ 4 adults 2 children

The Little Stone House is magical at Christmas. Often there is snow, A warm fireplace with a hearth for your stockings. Decorate cookies and sip or hot chocolate. Make this a memorable Christmas for your family. The Little Stone ia located in the small, gated community of Elk Point, in Zephyr Cove, NV, was built in 1927 with granite from the excavation of nearby Cave Rock Tunnel. Although it retains all the charm of a 1920s cabin, this mountain retreat was completely remodeled in 2008 with modern amenities and won Mountain Home Magazine’s “Best Historic Preservation” award.
Winter or summer, the Little Stone House is comfortable and inviting. The beautiful stone fireplace makes the cozy living room so relaxing after your day on the slopes. In the warmer months, this charming house provides several outdoor spaces to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms – one with a large marble shower, and the other with the original clawfoot bathtub which will take you back to a simpler time as you soak and look out the skylight above. The sofa sleeper in the loft is the perfect place for the kids to sleep since there is no privacy. A small deck off the king bedroom is a relaxing spot for your morning coffee. There is also a half bathroom downstairs. The beautifully remodeled and fully equipped kitchen features marble counters and a copper farm sink, and the dining room comfortably seats six. The back deck, shaded by tall pines, has a filtered view of the lake, and the outdoor pergola with a dining table that seats eight.
The Elk Point community has a large private beach, which you can reach by car or a five-minute walk. The beach features a roped swim area with an anchored swim and dive platform, a beach volleyball court and horseshoe pit. Double and single kayaks, stand up paddle board, bikes, water toys, sunshades and several sizes of life jackets are available for your use.

Relaxing Tahoe Getaway
Its hard to imagine a better Tahoe getaway. The Little Stone House has a cozy, Lodge feel. Very quiet! Beautiful tree-filtered views of the lake. Spotlessly clean, and well stocked for anything one might need to enjoy the outdoors or cook a delicious meal. We stayed there during a particularly warm spell, and the Little Stone House was pleasantly cool. Grateful for the garage, as this seemed to be (large) pinecone dropping season!

But what really outs it over the top is super host Nancy - she is avaialable, helpful, and encouraging. What a wonderful experience. I can' wait to return!

A wonderful getaway!
All of the other reviews talk about how wonderful the home is, and they're right! We enjoyed the views from the loft, and left a few puzzles for the collection. I wanted to address the accessibility concerns from another review. Stairs are a problem for me, but I loved this home and figured we'd make it work somehow. Here's what worked for me - I used a cane on the stairs out front, because there's no railing. You could also go through the garage and use the railing onto the back porch. It was totally worth the extra challenge.

Excellent Getaway with Private Beach
The perfect spot to get away for a few days, or weeks, or months...! The Little Stone House was cozy, quaint and in a perfect, quiet little community. The private beach was the definite gem, as we had it all to ourselves almost every day we were there. Nancy was a very gracious host and was always quick to respond to any questions we may have had. We will be doing our best to visit again as soon as we can! There are not enough wonderful things to say about this house. A true gem!

A small part of me wants to tell everyone how you shouldn't come here... just so i can enjoy booking this amazing gem whenever I wanted. But alas, i will tell the truth: it was perfect! Convenient in location, quiet neighborhood, remodeled to perfection, decorated thoughtfully. The owner is quick and generous to respond, as needed. Charming place, to the utmost.

Worth Every Penny
My wife and I stayed for 3 nights in the summer. The house is beautiful and fully equipped with everything you need inside the house and for a trip to the private beach less than a 5 minutes away. Our host Nancy went out of her way to be accommodating and was quick to text back if I had any questions. She clearly takes pride in this property and it shows. She's thought of everything to make your stay comfortable as well as informed on anything you might want to do. The house is perfectly located away from the madness in town in a quiet neighborhood but is just a quick drive to get in the thick of everything. We made great memories in our short time there and would definitely return.

Perfect Stay for our Family
The Little Stone House was perfect for our family getaway celebrating our daughter's high school graduation. It had plenty of room for all four of us. The view from the back deck was a favorite for morning coffee and sunsets. The private beach was walkable and super convenient to drive and park when bringing more beach equipment. A wonderful trip!

Beautiful Rustic Charm
We really enjoyed our stay in The Little Stone House. So much history in such a beautiful setting. The location was perfect! The house is well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Nancy was a pleasure to work with. She provided an abundance of information not only about the home, but the surrounding area (best local restaurants and things to do). We'd love to return in the summer to take advantage of the lake.

Perfection
The Little Stone House is perfect! Nestled in a woodsy, hillside community reached through a private gated entrance, the Little Stone House offers a wonderful blend of historical charm, every modern convenience, and a caring host, Nancy, who welcomes you warmly and has supplied every amenity you can imagine. A twist of wooden staircase, well lit by motion lights as well as the overhead lights, leads up to master bedroom, a dream, with comfy beds and bedding, a wall of windows looking out through towering trees to the blue of the lake, or nighttime stargazing, and a small balcony for looking down at the lovely garden area complete with barbecue and family table tucked in around huge boulders. the attached bathroom has a roomy shower with plenty of hot water. A second bedroom enchants with an old fashioned clawfoot tub beneath a sloping roof. Between the two is a tv/game room filled with games and art supplies, that is open to the living room below with its gas fireplace and lounge-able couch and chairs. Nancy has filled the kitchen with every necessity, including a carved wooden gargoyle looming over the 'old-fashioned' stove and an island for preparing and eating meals, unless you prefer the gorgeous dining room table. As if that wasn't enough, a garage holds sports equipment, and there is more down at the community's private section of beach, an easy tree-lined walk from the house. The Little Stone House felt like home and we can't wait to return.

We loved the Little Stone House! Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay for a week. It was the perfect location to get away from the busy areas around South Lake Tahoe. The private beach was a welcome place to relax and not deal with the overcrowded public beaches near by. Nancy was the perfect host staying in constant communication about all details. We would highly recommend you staying here on your next trip.

One of our best Tahoe stays ever after 22 weeks at the lake!
Our family really likes Lake Tahoe and we come for a couple of weeks every summer. We also really like older homes with character, but sometimes they can be a mixed bag. This stone cabin is the best of all worlds. It has modern appliances and systems, in the shell of a beautiful (almost) 100 year old home. It's in a quiet spot in the neighborhood, with an easy walk to the beach. The stone walls are solid and beautiful. There's absolutely no old cabin smell, which we've found in a few older Tahoe cabins. The living room has very comfortable seating, especially the loveseat under the window--it's a perfect spot for reading. Nancy has paid a lot of attention to the details, which in our experience, can make or break a vacation rental. It's the kind of place that anticipates your needs. Want to get cozy in the living room? Grab a pillow and a blanket. Want to make an oreo malt, grab the blender. Want to get a way from the family, hang out on the back deck. Get a cut, grab a band-aid. Want to go for a bike ride, grab a bike. Want to explore the lake, grab a kayak. All 4 of us are already looking forward to our next trip!
