Tucked beside a quiet meadow along Trout Creek, it feels private and nature-forward, yet you’re just minutes from top skiing, beaches, trails, dining, and shopping. After a day out, unwind in the private backyard hot tub, then head inside the garage for friendly competition on the shuffleboard table. With open gathering spaces, multiple outdoor areas, and thoughtful amenities throughout, it’s an ideal year-round retreat for families and groups to relax, reconnect, and make Tahoe memories.
