Vacationing in Lake Tahoe has never been as entertaining as it is at Steeple Cove. Steeple Cove is your own personal base camp for fun. The setting is truly ideal for those who relish outdoor adventures. Situated just a few houses north of the Tahoe Vista Recreation Area and Sandy Beach, a number of activities are within minutes of Steeple Cove. The kids will definitely want to spend the day at the North Tahoe Regional Park ziplining at the Treetop Adventure Park, playing pickleball under the lights, sledding on hill, or exploring miles of hiking/biking/XC trails. Even the family pet will appreciate the awesome dog park! The adults will want to take advantage of the smooth, crystal-clear waters for boating in the morning, golfing at Brockway Golf Course in the afternoon, and devouring prime rib at Old Range Steakhouse in the evening. It is all there for the taking!
Steeple Cove has been enjoyed by the owners and their extended family for over 25 years; to that end, they have spent a great deal of time remodeling and outfitting it with an eye towards family vacations and ensuring their guests have a fabulous experience.. The interior has a true mountain cabin feel with warm tones, surrounded by multiple varieties of wood and beautiful, local art. There are two separate dining areas so everyone can sit at a formal table during holiday meals; the primary suite has a balcony for admiring the views; the bunk room accommodates four kids comfortably with a TV; the entry level bedroom suite with two queen beds and a TV is ideal for those who do not wish to ascend stairs or for parents who want to share a room with their little kiddos. For older kids interested in having their own space, the “Eagle’s Nest” cottage offers a spacious, additional area with a living room, TV, game table, bathroom and kitchen - for easy access to snacks. (*For stays of 31+ nights only, the other two cottages are also available.)
Though centered within the high energy of the north shore, the primary home is set behind a large fence visually blocking the main road and providing substantial privacy. The home faces panoramic views of deep blues, mountain greens and orange sun kissed skies. The main house and cottages are conjoined by a courtyard with an artificial turf putting green. The waterfront boasts an expansive deck with a spacious entertainment area hosting a a plethora of seating, BBQ, corn hole, and a covered hot tub. Affix your boat to the one buoy offered; family members may load and unload via the easement to the shared pier at Tahoe Vista Inn and Marina adjacent to Steeple Cove. When the lake level is low, you are treated to a beautiful sandy beach, accessible by metal stairs down from the deck; when the lake level is much higher, it is as if you are floating directly on the water. As the sun sets, spending your evenings with family lounging on the patio chairs underneath the shining stars, with the moon beams glistening on the lake, reminiscing about the day's events are of what dreams are truly made.

You will see signs on the front of all fire district stations, hear about it on the news, see it on social media and hear about it on the radio.
Winter Driving
Many highways, access roads and/or driveways are steep in Tahoe/Truckee and may be icy in the winter. To ensure your safety, it is critical that during November 1st - April 30th brakes, windshield wipers, defroster, heater and exhaust system are in top condition. Tires need to be properly inflated and the tread must be in excellent condition. Always carry tire chains, even if driving an AWD/4WD vehicle. Make sure the chains are the proper size for your tires and are in working order. You may find valuable winter driving tips from the CHP here: https://bit.ly/3IKiY7n
Summer Patio Furniture
Patio furniture is available for your use during summer months only. All outdoor tables, chairs and loungers are put into storage in the fall, in order to protect the furnishings from winter weather. Barbecue grills, however, do remain outside for your enjoyment.
Black bears are very common in this area and have become habituated to human food and garbage. Because bears no longer have a strong fear of humans, you may encounter bears during your spring, summer and fall stays. Feeding bears is illegal. Leaving food outside, trash accessible, or doors and windows unlocked is likely to cause significant property damage to homes and to vehicles. Please take a moment to learn how to be Bear Aware, so that we can continue to live in harmony with our wildlife.
Office Holiday Hours
The TLUXP office is closed on New Year’s Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Therefore, we are unable to accommodate check-ins and check-outs on these dates. Thank you for understanding.
