West Shore Tahoe Retreat. Near Homewood & Rubicon Trail

Escape to the peaceful West Shore of Lake Tahoe and discover a place where relaxation and adventure come together effortlessly. Nestled at the end of a quiet dead-end street in the Homewood/Tahoma area, this welcoming mountain retreat offers a rare blend of privacy, comfort, and easy access to some of Tahoe’s most beautiful outdoor experiences.

From the property, you may notice occasional vehicles along the Rubicon Trail in the distance, but the home’s elevated position and the presence of another property in between create a comfortable sense of separation and tranquility. Accessing the trail is simple—just about a 500-yard walk around the corner brings you to the Rubicon’s endpoint, making it a convenient starting point for exploring the shoreline and surrounding terrain.

Inside, the home captures the charm of a classic Tahoe cabin, with soaring wood ceilings, a striking stone fireplace, and inviting spaces designed for gathering and unwinding. Large windows bring in natural light and frame the surrounding forest, creating a calm and cozy atmosphere throughout.

The home features three bedrooms and comfortably sleeps up to six guests, with two people per bed. There is also additional open space upstairs that may be suitable for flexible sleeping arrangements, particularly for children, though the home is best suited for groups of six.

The home is fully furnished and thoughtfully equipped for both relaxation and entertainment. Upstairs, you’ll find a small foosball coffee table along with a versatile three-in-one game table featuring ping pong, pool, and air hockey. A selection of board games, dominoes, and cards are also available for guests to enjoy. The main living area includes a 42-inch TV that streams via Wi-Fi, as there is no cable service.

The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare anything from a quick breakfast before heading out to a leisurely dinner shared with family and friends. It comes stocked with pots, pans, spices, and most essentials needed to cook a full meal. A nearby boutique-style market offers convenient access to groceries and specialty items.

Additional conveniences include a washer and dryer, along with clean sheets and extra bedding for your stay. There is also a small covered outdoor storage space located beneath the patio, suitable for storing items such as kayaks or outdoor gear.

Step outside and take in the quiet beauty of the forest setting. An upstairs patio offers a perfect spot to barbecue, relax, or simply sit and enjoy the night sky. With minimal traffic and the home’s tucked-away location, you’ll experience a true sense of seclusion—ideal for those looking to slow down and recharge.

Despite its peaceful setting, the home is conveniently located near beaches, trails, and local dining options in Homewood. Guests can easily access nearby shoreline spots within a short drive, and Tahoe City is just about 15 minutes away for additional restaurants, shopping, and activities. In the winter, Homewood Mountain Resort is only minutes away, while Palisades Tahoe is approximately a 25–30 minute drive.

The home offers reliable Wi-Fi that is well-suited for remote work, with many guests comfortably working from laptops during their stay.

Parking is plentiful, with space for approximately three to four vehicles thanks to a long driveway and additional shoulder parking in front of the home.

No matter the season—whether it’s summer lake days, vibrant fall colors, snowy winter adventures, or the fresh renewal of spring—this West Shore retreat is an inviting place to call home during your stay.

Come experience the quieter side of Lake Tahoe, where nature is close, the pace is relaxed, and every stay feels just a little more special.
