About This Property
Tucked among the pines just blocks from Lake Tahoe, this charming West Shore retreat blends rustic character with modern comfort. Built by renowned Tahoe craftsman Bert Anderson, the home showcases the warmth, craftsmanship, and enduring quality of a classic Tahoe cabin. Step through the striking front door into thoughtfully designed spaces rich with character. A dramatic stone, wood-burning fireplace anchors the inviting living area, while the charming kitchen complements the home’s warm, rustic aesthetic. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a full bath provide comfortable accommodations, with two bedrooms opening directly onto a shared deck. Downstairs, additional flexible living and sleeping space creates a cozy retreat for family and guests. Outside, the back deck extends the living space into the surrounding forest. Relax in the hot tub beneath the pines, dine outdoors on warm summer evenings, or simply enjoy the peaceful, wooded setting that makes the West Shore so special. Located in the prime West Shore corridor of Lake Tahoe, this centrally positioned property is perfect for year-round adventure. In the summer, you’re just minutes from William Kent State Beach, Sunnyside’s marina, and the paved bike path. In the winter, access the Sherwood Shuttle and enjoy the free service from the West Shore to the back side of Alpine on weekends. This exceptional location offers the ultimate basecamp for all-season Tahoe experiences and memories that will last a lifetime.
