Charming Lake Tahoe 1BR home w/ patio

Snow settles quietly along the North Shore as the lake reflects winter light, and evenings invite you to slow down and linger indoors. Inside, warmth gathers around the glow of the gas fireplace while the calm of Tahoe Vista sets the pace for restful days and unhurried nights. From this lakeside setting, winter brings a peaceful rhythm that feels both grounded and restorative.

The cottage is arranged to comfortably host up to four guests, offering a balance of privacy and shared space. The bedroom features a Queen bed, while the living area includes a sofa bed, making it easy to unwind after a day outdoors. A full bathroom sits just off the living area, convenient for both daytime use and quiet evenings in. Heating throughout the home keeps the space cozy during colder months.

Living space
The living room is designed for comfort, with seating gathered near the gas fireplace that provides both warmth and ambiance during winter evenings. A TV with standard cable and WiFi make it easy to relax indoors, whether you’re watching a movie or catching up on work. A dedicated workspace offers a simple setup for remote tasks or trip planning.

Kitchen and dining
The full kitchen allows you to prepare meals at your own pace, with space to cook and gather around the dining table. Whether you’re starting the morning with coffee or enjoying a homemade dinner after skiing, the kitchen supports easy, everyday use without feeling crowded.

Outdoor setting and community amenities
Located within the Franciscan Lakeside community, the cottage enjoys access to shared HOA amenities that are available seasonally. The setting places you right along the lake, with the private sandy beach and pier nearby when conditions allow. A shared BBQ is located close by for guest use during warmer months, though it is not provided in winter. Parking is free on the premises, with one designated space available.

Kings Beach lies just a short drive east for dining and essentials, while Carnelian Bay and Tahoe City are a few miles west.
