SKI LEASE RENTAL INQUIRIES - CALL TO BOOK (ONLINE BOOKING UNAVAILABLE)

Welcome to your ideal Tahoe ski lease—a thoughtfully designed mountain retreat that combines rustic charm, modern convenience, and comfort in every detail. Sitting among towering pines and just a short drive to Tahoe's top ski resorts, this stunning vacation rental offers everything you need for an unforgettable winter season in the mountains.

From the moment you arrive, the warm wood exterior, manicured landscaping, and spacious two-car garage set the tone for a stylish and welcoming getaway. The elevated front deck is the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee or catch the evening alpenglow after a day on the slopes. A large driveway and inviting entry make arrivals easy, even with a car full of ski gear.

Step inside to a bright and airy main living space designed with ski season in mind. Vaulted wood ceilings with exposed beams, expansive picture windows, and a cozy stone gas fireplace create the perfect après-ski setting. Whether you're relaxing on the large sectional sofa for a movie night, reading fireside in a pair of mid-century chairs, or gathering around the fire after a day of powder, the space invites connection and comfort. Shiplap walls and curated mountain décor add texture and warmth, enhancing the elevated yet inviting alpine atmosphere.

The open-concept kitchen and dining area is a dream for home chefs and entertainers alike. With black granite countertops, a butcher-block island, stainless steel appliances—including a double oven and gas cooktop—and thoughtful extras like a wine fridge and espresso machine, cooking for a group is a breeze. Enjoy family dinners, game nights, or après-ski happy hours at the dining table that seats eight, surrounded by forest views. Direct access to the back deck makes outdoor dining easy when the weather allows.

Just off the kitchen, a flexible bonus room serves as both a cozy guest room and a remote work hub. A queen bed is framed by built-in shelving, while the oversized window offers serene views of the snowy forest. A dedicated desk makes this space ideal for anyone needing to check in at work between runs or simply enjoy a quiet moment to themselves.

The upstairs primary suite offers a peaceful escape with a plush king bed, dual dressers, and a workspace perfect for journaling or checking emails. The ensuite bathroom is beautifully updated with a double vanity, sleek finishes, and a spa-like walk-in tile shower—your personal sanctuary after a long day of skiing, snowshoeing, or exploring Lake Tahoe.

Downstairs, two additional bedrooms provide privacy and comfort for family or guests. One features a queen bed and crib, ideal for families with little ones, while the other offers a full-size bed, playful mountain-themed mural, and soft furnishings. A remodeled shared bathroom includes a modern vanity, bold black hardware, and a pristine shower/tub combo with custom shelving.

Additional features include a laundry closet with washer and dryer, interior access to the garage, and plenty of storage for extended stays. The attached garage has been transformed into a highly functional space—featuring a home gym with mats, weights, and a mounted TV, a ski and snowboard rack, and a large chest freezer for overflow food storage. Whether you're tuning skis or squeezing in a morning workout, this garage is equipped for mountain life.

After a day on the slopes, head straight to your private hot tub, conveniently located just steps from the back door on the large, forest-view deck. It's the ultimate après-ski experience, complete with bubbling warmth and tall trees all around. A BBQ grill and seasonal outdoor dining table make it easy to enjoy meals al fresco. Below the deck, a landscaped yard and fire pit seating area offer even more space to gather, unwind, and reconnect with nature.

This Tahoe ski lease offers the perfect mix of luxury, convenience, and natural beauty—making it a perfect winter escape for families, friends, or anyone looking to enjoy the best of Lake Tahoe during ski season.
