Heavenly Retreat | Secluded Mountain Retreat
A contemporary mountain retreat with 2,500 square feet of thoughtful craftsmanship, this secluded 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers a peaceful Tahoe setting beside a quiet US Forest Service lot. Designed for families and small groups, the home blends warm mountain character with modern comfort, including vaulted ceilings, granite countertops, hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, a private hot tub, a pool table, and central air conditioning, a rare and highly valued Tahoe amenity for summer stays.
This home has comfortable sleeping and dining for 6 adults, 8 all together if children ages 5 and under are included. There is parking for up to 4 vehicles
Inside, the main living level feels bright, open, and inviting. The vaulted ceilings rise above the great room, where the living room, dining area, kitchen, and guest half bath come together in one easy gathering space. A stone-accented gas fireplace creates a cozy focal point for snowy evenings, while two sliding glass doors open to a large upper deck overlooking the peaceful forest setting and adjacent USFS lot. It is an ideal spot for grilling, morning coffee, or relaxing with a book beneath the pines.
The kitchen is open and well-equipped for time together at home, featuring granite slab countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, and a large pantry. The upstairs primary suite offers a comfortable private retreat with a spacious bathroom, two separate vanities, a spa tub, and a separate stall shower. Downstairs, guests will find two additional bedrooms: the first bedroom has a queen bed and its own ensuite bathroom and the second, large bedroom with a queen bed, two twin beds, is adjacent to a second bathroom. A game room/family room with a pool table adds another fun gathering space, with direct access to the lower deck and the large private hot tub.

This property worked perfectly for our winter family fun. Close to town, perfect distribution of bedrooms and bathroom, loved the hot tub and pool table for family fun.
The house was perfect for our group. Awesome location. Hot tub and pool table were wonderful! One tip: bring eye masks for sleeping because the rooms do not have blinds/curtains that cover the whole windows.
We came up with our dog for the week - what a find! The house is wonderful, spacious and very dog friendly. Location is exceptional for walking access to several great trailheads. We found the hosts to be proactive, responsive and helpful. Highly recommend this property and will definitely stay again.
The property was incredibly clean with a variety of amenities and space for our group. We especially enjoyed the deck with a very clean grill. The game room and hot tub were extremely nice to have. Would absolutely visit again!
Perfect family home nestled among the trees. We came up to ski and spend time as a family. The house was perfect for cooking meals, playing pool, and heading to the mountain. Comfortable, clean, and spacious for our family of four!
We had a wonderful time at Heavenly retreats. The house was spacious and well stocked with kitchenware and even beach chairs. Hot tub was clean! Highly recommend
Everything was immacualte. Check in was easy. Close to restaraunts and Heavenly Village and Gondola.

The pictures and overview matched the house perfectly. Backyard was perfect for the dog. Hot tub was clean (not like some other rentals). Kitchen had all the bells and whistles to cook a full traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Proximity to the hiking trails and the casinos helped save time in the car and allowed us to maximize our time in Lake Tahoe. Rental company was very helpful and responsive would definitely rent from RnR again!
We had a wonderful stay. The location was perfect, in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to most things in South Lake Tahoe, and the house was exactly as shown/described in the photos and listing. We enjoyed the pool table, hot tub, and upper deck most of all, but the entire house was spacious, clean, and well equipped. The only negative is the lack of complete window coverings in the main bedroom (seen in photos). We brought eye masks because the master bedroom (and honestly, most of the bedrooms) was flooded with light at sunrise. Bring an eye mask and it won't be a problem! The house was fantastic and we would love to return in the future.
We have rented homes in Tahoe for over 15 years, and this was the nicest one we have had. The home is attractive, clean, and well-maintained. The kitchen is spacious, and extremely well equipped. There wasn't a single thing missing that we needed. Appliances are new and high-end. There is a pool table and nice outdoor decks. There is a hot tub,but we didn't use it. The neighborhood was very quiet and conveniently located.
Two things for renters to be aware of are that there is not a door to the bathroom in the main bedroom, and there are a lot of rather steep stairs. That made arrival and departure, with the packing and unpacking a challenge for some people. Overall, we highly recommend the home.
We were also impressed with the communications with the RNR Vacation Rental company. Through e-mails and texts, they provided thorough information and responded quickly to any questions. Thank you to the owners and to RNR for a terrific stay!

My wife, two sons and I had a great stay at Heavenly Retreat. The home was beautiful, immaculate and had all the amenities. We did breakfast and dinner. Cookware and utensils were in great shape. We used the hot tub daily after a great day of snowboarding. The pool table was a great addition. The home was in a very quiet area. It was close to restaurants, shopping and casinos. Although, it did not snow during our stay it was still very chilly. The gas fireplace was a warm welcome. The only part we disliked about the home was the sun coming in through the windows without window coverings. Usually, in the afternoon. The moon was full and that brightened up the master bedroom windows (with no window coverings) while we were sleeping. We were not used to that. That is just our personal opinion. All in all we had a great stay in your beautiful home.

Very nice home. Beautiful quiet neighborhood. We came for a week of skiing so we weren't in the house much except for breakfast, supper and sleeping. I would give the property a 5 except for a couple of minor things. First of all we used the hot tub every night when we got back(Hot tub worked perfect) but the deck up above the tub juts out about a foot over the tub. Because therewas snow and ice on it it would melt every day. As it melted in dripped over rusted drip edge of the deck onto the hot tub cover which would fill with water. it took 3 of us to open the cover because it was so heavy. then once your in the tub we had rusty water dripping on us. So that wasn't good but didn't stop us from using it. and the second thing was that for the amount of money spent on the rental you would think that they would have more than just mini basic TV. There were only 13 channels available of which 2 were Spanish channels, 2 were shopping channels, a couple of who knows what channels. So there really were only about 4 or 5 to watch. i mean come on.But other than that it was a good place to stay. I would recommend it to anybody who asked me.

Heavenly Retreat was fabulous! The layout was great for our family. We loved the large kitchen, the pool table and the hot tub! The location is just far enough from the casinos to be super quiet but not so far that it feels difficult to head over to them. We can’t wait to come back!

Our 3rd year renting from RnR and we'll never consider anyone else! The house: every room was clean, even the laundry room shone! Everything works, nothing out of place. Furnishings, amenities, appliances, all just what you'd want. It's clear the owners didn't skimp just because it's a rental - everything is of good quality and you can tell they thought about what you'd need to make your stay here feel practically luxurious. There were charging port stations on every nightstand, comfy bed linens and large, fluffy pillows. They even had large (quiet) air purifiers upstairs and downstairs, so even the breathing air was clean! The kitchen is well-stocked, the dishes and glasses sparkling, matching silverware, huge fridge, and a multi-function oven that I'd want in my own kitchen! Also there are brand-new, large capacity washer & dryer, again appliances that I would pick for myself if I could! It really felt like we were staying someplace where a close friend had set up the home for us after thinking of everything we'd want ahead of time! RnR provided just the right amount of info and checking in with us during our stay, just in case we needed anything. Also, I have to say that throughout every vacation rental process, the RnR folks have always been super-helpful, responsive, and personable - really GREAT customer service of the kind you rarely see anymore. Great house, great company - what more could you want?

This house was in a great location for us, not too far from the wedding venue that we were attending and right next door to hiking trails.
