A bounty of clubs, casinos, shows, cinemas, boutiques, restaurants, sporting goods shops, art galleries, beaches, and mountain hiking will take your breath away are all in a 15-minute walking distance! GROCERY store is only 5 minutes away.<br />We are located on a secluded cul de sac only a 5 minute level walk to the fabulous Heavenly Valley Gondola. You’d have a longer walk from the parking lot of any resort! The Gondola takes you up the mountain where you can choose between skiing the California or the Nevada side of the mountain. In the summer, many exciting activities are accessed by this same Gondola. Restaurants abound. You have full kitchen privileges so if you choose to enjoy a meal “at home” from the well-appointed kitchen, Raley’s grocery is barely a 3-minute walk, and Safeway is a 10 minute drive. Right at the end of the block is a public bus stop where you can catch a bus to take you to and from Sierra at Tahoe Ski Resort.<br />I offer a spacious, genteel home with 3 bedrooms, and 2 baths that can sleep up to 10 (if you‘re good friends.) This is my HOME for Bagel, my beagle and myself. Hence, a fourth bedroom, which is my personal bedroom, will be locked and not available. Of the 3 bedrooms- The Master Bedroom has both a lovely sleigh bed and a futon couch/bed that converts into a double bed which is great for parents with young children. It shares a full bath with the second upstairs bedroom. Downstairs you’ll find the 3rd bedroom & 2nd full bath sensibly located on the first floor – an ideal convenience if you hate climbing stairs after skiing all day, like to sneak in late from the casinos without waking anyone – or for guests with limited mobility. The living room couch opens to a double-size sofa bed, and each bedroom has a smart TV. Off the entryway with its stained-glass panel, whimsical Dr Seuss taxidermies, and crystal chandelier, are the living room, and dining room. In the spacious and comfortable Great Room which is graced by 20-foot ceilings and a gas fireplace offering the cozy ambiance of a wood fireplace without the work and “spares the air.” Avid sports fans will love the wide-screen 55” flat screen smart TV as much as avid cooks will love the well-outfitted kitchen. It is centrally located to let the cooks cook and still join in the fun. Not only can you BBQ on the deck in the fully enclosed back yard, it is a great place to watch Fido play “frog dog” in the snow. The laundry room has a high efficiency washer and dryer. Outside key access is via a standard, secure lock box.<br /><br />We have internet, wifi, cable, roku, and ps3. <br /><br />Fire and CO alarms are on both floors. A basic first aid kit is kept in the downstairs bathroom. A fire extinguisher is located both in the laundry room and on a hall shelf on the second floor. Please note that there is a security camera focused on the driveway in the front. There is another in the back focused on the back yard. They do not include audio. There are NONE inside my home. During your stay, the security system will be turned off. and request that the system not be activated.<br /><br />As of 12-1-2025, Airbnb no longer invoices booking fees to the GUEST. They have shifted that booking fee to the HOST to absorb. New nightly rates reflect that shift. For the guest, it should come out about the same, just with a less complicated invoice. Thank you for your understanding.<br /><br />We accept friendly house-broken pets with a one time extra charge of $50 which will cover 2 pets, with additional $200 refundable security deposit. The back and side yards are fully enclosed to provide additional privacy for my guests and their dogs. Please notify me if your pet will also be a guest. Limit of 2 pets.<br />Also, the Airbnb program does not provide for graduated cleaning fees so I am stating it now. For stays of 5 days or more, the cleaning fee will be $200. For New Year's and 4th of July due to the usual extra guests/ partying, cleaning fee will be an extra 20% ($210total. ) My apologies but recently too many have spoiled it for everyone. I cannot afford to continue to absorb the extra cleaning costs.<br /><br />NOTE: Two day minimum required normally.<br /> HOLIDAY WEEKENDS or PERIODS, generally require a minimum 3 night stay.<br /><br />During HOLIDAY WEEKS/WEEKENDS, discount s or weekly rates do NOT apply.<br /><br />Permit #010078<br /><br />Guest access<br />Approximately 1-2 days prior to arrival, I will send you details such as the lock box key code, wifi, etc.<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />Approximately 2 days prior to arrival, I will send you details such as the lock box key code, wifi, etc.
