Family Paradise; 200 feet from Heavenly Skiing

Recently remodeled home in a quiet residential neighborhood of South Lake Tahoe. We rebuilt this place from the studs up and were able to customize it with a relaxing mountain holiday in mind. Enjoy the open layout and kids/games room or the two big decks overlooking a forest service land.

Its an amazing house but even better is the location. Just one block from the Heavenly California Base Lodge. Walk to skiing, use the free ski bus to get to and from the casinos and shops, two minute drive or cheap taxi to just about everything.


When you are searching for a home base for your perfect Tahoe vacation a lot of things should be standard. Beautiful clean décor and furniture, a kitchen that is a pleasure to gather and cook in, a hot tub, a grill, internet access and home entertainment options. We wanted to go a step further here are some other things we offer that the others might not:

Complimentary gift basket on arrival
Shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand soap provided
Over stocked kitchen: spices, olive oil, balsamic, coffee
Local (contractor)owners for good advice and quick attention to issues
Walk to Heavenly California base
Take free ski bus to and from casinos and shops
Not over crowded, only two people to a room
Gas fireplace, cozy, still heats in a black out
No keys to lose, code for our digital lock


Enter into a large open plan kitchen and living area. Beautiful slate flooring, a fully equipped gourmet kitchen and HDTV above the gas fireplace. Send the kids upstairs to the large flat screen with Roku games and streaming, the foozball table or the game area. Cook up dinner on the barbecue or soak in the hot tub from the decks overlooking forest service land.


There are two bedrooms upstairs. A master with a king bed and its own bathroom and huge deck and another bedroom with a queen bed. Down stairs is another bedroom with a separate door to the bathroom and direct access to the deck and hot tub. All your towels and linens are provided

Cooking is a dream here. The kitchen features alder cabinets and concrete counters. There are fridgidaire appliances including a dishwasher and convection/microwave. We have included everything you could need to bake or cook up a storm. There is a blender for whipping up delicious treats. If you prefer to do your cooking outside we have a big natural gas grill just out the door.

Relaxing is easy with a cozy fireplace and game and reading nook. The foozball table is great fun. We are wired for entertainment with HDTVs, with roku steaming content and games.

We landscaped the yard as a family paradise. Stay home and play on the playset, bocceball court and ladder ball game. Take in the beautiful Tahoe weather from the deck or hot tub.

Location is key and this is awesome. Central in town you are close to everything. Heavenly one block walk; Sierra at Tahoe 30min; Kirkwood 45min;Casinos 2min; Beaches 5min; Shopping 2min; Golf 2min. This is a quiet residential area so access is easy and the nights are quiet. The home backs to forest service land. Take it all in from the two big decks.

South Lake Tahoe

We had a great time with our young adult kids! The property is walking distance to the base of the mountain where we rented our skis and left them there free of charge. The house was clean and very well equipped. We dined out but also cooked at home, there is no noise at all, I recommend this rental!! 😊

Beautiful home!

We enjoyed a wonderful 4 days at this beautiful home. The kids loved all of the games - indoors and outdoors. We used the hot tub each evening, and there is no house behind so it felt very private. Same feeling for the upper deck for morning coffee. It was also really great to have 3 bathrooms, since we had 3 families, we each had our own! The little details were wonderful; a gift basket on arrival, plush robes in each bedroom, a fully stocked kitchen, games, and movies. And the owner was very responsive when we needed to contact him, and his daughter was adorable! We would love to return to this home away from home! Thank you!

Love this place!!

This place was such a great house for my family! The kids absolutely loved the backyard! It also offered nice separation with a bed and bath downstairs and my hubby and I and the kids were upstairs. The location is beautiful! You are able to see heavenly mountain from the backyard. This backyard is the perfect spot to relax. It has a nice bbq deck, hot tub, swing set for kids, monkey ball and a bocce ball court. I definitely want to bring my family back to this wonderful family home!

Family friendly

We took our son and his family with us for our first vacation at Lake Tahoe. We enjoyed some hiking and sightseeing and a day at one of the beaches. It’s off season and with Covid there wasn’t much happening in the town, but we mostly just wanted a place to be together as family. We had a 4 year old and an 18 month old with us and the house had the child safety gates, booster seat and pack and play. The kids loved the play set in the backyard and the adults enjoyed the hot tub. The kitchen had everything we needed as we cooked all our own meals (covid again) and we were very comfortable with the house and the neighborhood . The owner answered our questions and we were very satisfied with this rental. Thanks Duggan.

Can’t wait to come back!

This property suited our trip perfectly! Took a guys trip in early December to South Lake for some snowboarding and winter festivities. This house’s location was very convenient for us - easy to navigate, <5 min drive to Lake Tahoe Blvd, walking distance to Heavenly California lodge/lifts. Place was clean and orderly, outdoor patio area was great and would be perfect in summer for a family trip with kids! Comfy beds and the living room couch might be the most comfortable thing I’ve ever sat on (esp after a long day on the mountain)! Duggan communicated effectively and responded promptly to texts, although I only really texted him once on our last day to tell him we had a blast and were checking out. Overall, highly recommended and I plan to come stay here again in the future! Maybe a summer trip next....

Great location summer and winter

For skiers, you can't get any closer to Heavenly Ski Resort. For summer travelers, you are a short drive to the lake, casinos, shops and restaurants. Property is well laid out with a bathroom for each bedroom. Our family loved it and we will definitely come back.

We had a great time at this property. The layout was great for 6 adults and 2 kids. The swing set and games outside were a nice touch for everyone. The beds were comfy and the decor was nice. We loved walking to Himmel Haus for our last night and will remember this trip for a lifetime. Great house.

Great House! Fun Yard for Kids

Fantastic stay at Duggan’s house. Very clean and fit our large group very easily. The yard provided hours of fun snow play. It is very close to the HeavenlyCalifornia Lodge. Walkable for even a 3 year old in the snow. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely, thoughtful home

I cannot say I have ever been in a more thoughtful rental home. Stayed in a bunch over the years. Beautiful home utilizing space amazingly well. Lots of little touches in and outside the home with welcome basket, robes, tons of dishes , hot drinks of all variety, multiple viewing TV options, extra blankets. Working hot tub is alway an issues and yours was large, hot and clean! Even the baby gates/pack and plays are great and I have no wee ones :) Would be easy to stay here for weeks and really not need anything other than food. We are buying a ski home and I will take some lessons from you! Thanks for sharing your amazing place.

Incredibly well-stocked rental unit

Our stay with two families (5 adults) was great. Location is an easy walk to California Base Tram at Heavenly Ski area, even with ski boots on, in 4 ft of snow. Owner came out and cleared driveway each day there was heavy snowfall. Kitchen was very well stocked with appliances and utensils, even many common kitchen spices. Hot tub was perfect after a day skiing, and the closets held four heavy bathrobes for the walk around the deck to the hot tub. Certainly one of the most well outfitted rental units we've ever experienced in many years of VRBO. Would recommend it for anyone wanting to ski the Heavenly resort, and we will try to stay there again on our next visit to South Lake Tahoe.

Another Great Experience!

There was one foot of snow from the night before and I was preparing to dig out our car. By the time I came out, the drive way was already plowed and snow was brushed off my car...this is why we stayed here! Attention to details and making a wonderful experience for us. All of the other reviews are correct...5 stars! We are definitely coming back. By the way, I have coming to Lake Tahoe for over 30 years and now I am sharing memories with my children. I hope you are able to defeat Measure T and continue short term vacation rentals for everyone to enjoy Lake Tahoe. Thank you Duggan for letting us stay in your beautiful home.

Comfortable and close to everything

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is located very close to the California Lodge where there is ski school, but only up to level 2. It is a very short drive though to the Gondola where there are all levels of ski school. Restaurants and shopping were all close as well. Very convenient!

Good for skiing and a family trip

This is the 2nd time that we chose to stay at this property. That tells a lot about how much we like this property. It is one of the better ones in Tahoe with the gazzilion rental properties coming up. Overall the home is well maintained and kept clean. We still struggled with operating the TV and the music system and gave up (we struggled with the same last time also). Thankfully the owners took down the million "no noise after 10 p.m. or $1000 fine" signs that they had put up earlier during our 1st stay. That was a pleasant sight to see :) The kitchen was stocked extremely well and with good quality utensils and crockery. Often rental properties use cheap stuff but this house always has good quality stuff. The heating was perfect and kept the house nice and warm for us. The fans in the bedrooms helped a lot whenever the room became too hot at night. The hot tub was working in great condition and we had a great time using it. The only negative experience that we had was that the shower head in the bathroom downstairs could use a change where you don't have to individually wash every body part and the water flow is a bit more at least. The window in the bathroom could use a screen so that while taking a hot shower, you can keep the window cracked open to let some air circulate. The conditioner dispenser in the downstairs bathroom seems to be flowing non stop. My wife almost slipped the first day when she went in for a shower. There was conditioner hanging from the nozzle of the dispenser and not just a drop or two but like a bee hive and then we saw that it had drizzled on to the tub floor also and being the same color as the tub, my wife didn't see it and almost slipped. Thankfully we avoided, what could have been a major accident. We plan on visiting Tahoe for skiing at least 10-12 times this ski season and we will definitely stay at this property again if available. Overall a great experience!
