About this house rental
Beautiful, remodeled home has everything you need for a great vacation! The house is over 5,000 square feet with 4 suites and 2 bunk rooms. It sits on two acres adjacent to state lands and is ski in/out from Homewood Mountain Resort. We're also two blocks from our homeowners association private beach. You have it all right here (except for noise and crowds...)
The house and guest house frame the front yard-- perfect for all types of lawn games. The main house has a beautiful covered deck overlooking it. It's where you want to be on those hot summer afternoons when a squall blows through. Note: We do not rent the guest house and it will not be occupied during your stay. You'll have our 2 acre property to yourselves!
Enter the house and there's a mud room and powder room off the entry. Pass into the living/dining/kitchen area, which is all open. The game room offers a bit of seclusion while still allowing you to be part of the action. There's another covered deck off the kitchen where the BBQ is located. In back is a sunny deck with two large picnic tables and the hot tub.
Behind the house is a beautiful year-round creek that cascades down behind the house, giving you great background noise and beautiful views. The rear yard is another great place to hang out, surrounded by forest.
The living room features a huge fireplace that adds to the ambiance of the mountains (and a 50" TV...). The dining room features a custom table that seats 14 people. The kitchen has soaring windows and high ceilings making it a bright and happy place to cook your meals or at least make a cup of coffee...
The game room is probably the most beloved in the house. It's cozy with a game table surrounded by book cases and cabinets filled with games of all types. The window seat at the back is a great place to take a nap, read a book, or listen in to those playing games.
Upstairs is the beautiful master suite with king bed and two other luxurious suites each with queen beds and private baths. The master bath has a free-standing tub, large shower, double vanity, and separate water closet.
On the top floor is the huge bonus room, two bunk rooms, and their private bathroom. The bonus room has a TV area with large sectional and bean bags, and a large table for games, homework, or drawing. There are tons of books on the bookcases and shelves full of games and art supplies.
The main bunk room has 4 twin beds, each with a charging port and reading light. The smaller semi-private room, enclosed by 2 barn doors, has two more twin beds. Their bathroom has a trough sink and separate shower room and water closet-- there's enough room for everyone to be comfortable!
The bottom level has another large private suite with queen bed and private bath. The bottom level also contains the laundry room with oversized machines.
Because the house sits on approximately 2 acres, it's very private. In summer the landscaping is lush and beautiful. In winter it's a wonderland-- much of it sloped perfectly for incredible sled runs and jumps.
The bike path is nearby where you can ride, walk, jog to numerous state parks, restaurants, Tahoe City, or Squaw Valley. You can also walk the path, or through the neighborhood, to Eagle Rock, a local attraction you can climb (more of a steep walk) for incredible views of the lake and mountains.
There are trails nearby to quiet lakes, abandoned gold mines. There are 2 great restaurants within 2 blocks-- The West Shore Cafe with its gorgeous setting on the lake, and Swiss Lakewood with its great Alpine cuisine. And, if you just want coffee or a sandwich, you can go to Obexers Market (and pick up some wine and cheese or dinner for the evening).
We stock the house with the supplies you'll need for your stay (TP, Paper towels, soaps, L'Occitane shampoo, conditioner, body wash, detergents, etc.). We have all the toys, games, towels, and supplies that you'll need.
We hope you'll create some great memories with your family and friends as we have over the years at this beautiful property.

We just returned from our second year staying in this beautiful home in Homewood. There were 10 of us and 3 generations. The house met all our needs. The house is fabulous- there are plenty of bedrooms and a Great Room where we could all gather. The kitchen has everything we could imagine for dining at home. And the whole house is just beautifully furnished. The hot tub was right outside and the owner had installed a new outdoor grill. Our conversations with the owner were very helpful and cordial. We walked down to the private beach everyday. The home provides kayaks and paddle boards which we all used. We thoroughly enjoyed the woodsy neighborhood and the ease of getting around the North Shore.

Could not have asked for a better place. Not a single issue. Thank you!

Beautiful home and great location. The house has everything that you could want or need. The host was responsive, informative and also provided a lot of suggestions on what to do and restaurants in the area. We would definitely go back and hope to make it an annual thing. Highly recommend!

Rented this for a family getaway. Eight adults and four kids under 10. Absolutely amazing from the house itself to everything available from dishes and supplies to games. House has great decor and probably the best appliances and supplies of any rental we have ever gotten. Equally impressive was the communication with Vince the owner. Very responsive and accommodating. Rental is quiet and located between North and South Tahoe; easy 30 minute drive to get to either. Usually do 3-4 rentals a year. This was the best rental and best owner we have dealt with. Definitely recommend.

First off, Vincent the host could not have been more accommodating. He provided a wealth of local information both prior to and during our stay. Quite simply, the finest host I have worked with on VRBO. Thank you! The property is beautiful and well maintained. The setting along a rushing creek is private, but still close to the lake. Our large, multi-generational group had plenty of space to relax, sleep, and play. We ate every meal at the house and the kitchen was very well appointed. Only wish we could’ve stayed longer than 3 days. We would absolutely rent this property again!!

Great stay - beautiful home.

There is not much more I can say above and beyond the title. The house is in a stunning location, beautifully decorated but not at all precious, and really close to everything we wanted to do - especially skiing at Homewood which is a great, user-friendly throwback of a ski resort. The kitchen was where we did most meals and had every dish and pan and implement we could want, but every restaurant we hit - Za’s, Sunnyside, and Swiss Lakewood - was also great. The beds were wonderful - and we have some really picky (maybe even annoying) members of our crew. And lastly, the sledding on the hill into which the house is built was better than anything we would have paid for. Can’t recommend this home enough. Thank you so very much.

Had a family reunion at this home and it was amazing. Each couple had their own room and bathroom which was nice. The home provides a lot of extras such as kayaks to board games. I recommend this home.

After our wedding at Westshore Cafe, the bride and grooms families stayed another 4 days here. It was so relaxing. The hot tub and hammock over the stream were big hits. The open floor plan and large kitchen made it easy with our large group. The bedrooms were all spacious and nicely decorated. I would highly recommend this property to my friends and family. Nothing but kudos to the owners.

We had the most incredible time at Vince's Trout Lodge. We have been coming to Tahoe for years, and this property is hands down the best rental you will find in Lake Tahoe. You will not find a better location in Lake Tahoe, perfectly situated on the West Shore in Homewood. You have it all right there - the best lake views, walking access to boat, kayak etc rentals, and some of the best restaurants on the lake. The landscaping around the home and quality of every detail of the home is exceptional -- clean, high-quality, and beautifully decorated. We had such a fun time, and we could not recommend renting this home more.

Beautiful Special Destination
Such a wonderful place to stay in Tahoe. Upon arriving it really felt immediately like home. The design is impeccable and very warm and comfortable. All amenities were top quality and the owners have really thought of every detail not only for themselves when they stay but for guests that make staying in this home a very personable experience. The location is perfect. Not in the busy tourist areas, but a lovely secluded private almost getaway neighborhood of Homewood. Just at the base of the Homewood mountain only a very short distance from the lake. The back yard opens to a huge beautiful forested landscape with a creek running along the backside that just made the whole experience idyllic. And the communication with the owners felt like caring people who obviously not only know their way around Tahoe and are will to share their advice like.a family friend; but also have exceptional taste and care about experiences.
We loved our stay and when we return to Tahoe, we would absolutely be excited to return to our new getaway home!
Thank you Vince and Amanda.

This was by far one of the best properties we have ever rented on VRBO. Clean, perfectly restored ski house that was in a beautiful location. Our host could not have been kinder or more available. We would highly recommend to others but hope to stay again!

This mountain home at Homewood is a special place. It’s amazing for a group of 2-3 families with kids. Top floor is a kids retreat complete with entertainment room and bunks, middle floor is like a fancy hotel for the adults (3 rooms), first floor is awesome living space for everyone with game room and huge fireplace, table for 14, and fully stocked kitchen. Hot Tub and Barbecue on the back deck are ready to go. There is everything you need for an epic winter vacation for your whole group. Kids loved sledding right on the property, building snowman, and enjoying all the games and toys at the house. Adults enjoyed cooking, sitting by the fireplace, the game room and relaxing in the hot tub. The owner is super responsive and want to make sure everything is perfect.
Only nit picks would be that it’s not truly ski-in/out to Homewood unless you want to attempt a gnarley tree run. However the Homewood resort is just down the street so it’s not a big issue. Also, we had some trouble with the ovens but that’s mostly due to our inexperience cooking with propane powered oven. Owner I believe is planning to upgrade in the near future. Bottom line, don’t hesitate to book this place, it’s a gem.
Most relaxing and beautiful mountain home we’ve stayed in.

5 star accommodations! The home and property exceeded all expectations. The house is beautifully decorated, comfortable and spacious! We loved how quiet it was and away from others, but close enough to groceries and shopping and restaurants when needed. Just hanging out at the home was a vacation in itself. We wanted snow and we got it! Vince had all the snow “toys” we needed to enjoy without going anywhere. Vince and Amanda are top-notch hosts and all the information and recommendations they helped us with were so appreciated since this was our first trip. Vince was so easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any questions or needs, including helping us find a place to stay due to an unforeseen power outage from a winter storm that kept us from Trout Lodge on the day of our arrival. We would definitely book again!

Great property, nice amenities, spaciously apportioned for a big family. Be prepared to hike your supplies up to the house, could be gnarly in winter snow. Great snow play area right on property next to house. Driveway definitely need 4x4 in winter. TV and Internet a little sketchy.

This house was so good i'm almost hesitant to write a review for fear of future bookings being too hard to get.
We spent a long weekend there in early February and look forward to a stay in Summer months hopefully.
House is impecable in every way. Comfort, proximity to lake and Homewood Resort, and most of all a very accommodating host. Vince was very easy to work with and was gracious and flexible when we had some weather trouble which prevented us from getting there on our initial check in date.
Picture of this place don't do it justice! We will 100% be back.

There are few words to describe this beautiful home straight out of Architectural Digest. Beautifully appointed with every need thought of, every comfort provided for their guests. I am not sure I would have found anything nicer or as spacious for our family/friend group of nine. The kitchen made a private chef happy and had every appliance and tool needed to eat every meal in home, necessary during a pandemic. The hot tub was glorious after a day of skiing or hiking and the mountain setting provided picturesque winter scenes. The owners were above and beyond responsive and provided ample communication on any matter and were warm and friendly. Highly recommend this gorgeous retreat. We will be back.

The property is even better than advertised. Really luxurious and perfectly situated. Our kids loved the games, books and swing and we loved the cozy fire, spacious, well-equipped house and the location. Vince and Amanda were pleasures to deal with, and quick to reply with everything we could possibly need. Would love to stay again.

Fantastic location- privacy, can hike to Homewood out the back door. Perfect for kids- our guys loved the bunk beds, loft area and bean bag chairs. Adults loved the spacious kitchen/dining/living room areas. Wonderful wooded views out most windows, great fit/finish/design. We stayed for 10 days and EVERYONE was sad to leave. Owners were super responsive to our questions.

Beautiful home, in a private & pretty setting. Bit of hitch upon arrival as there had been a miscommunication with the cleaning crew & the house hasn't been prepared. But the owner was responsive & the house did get cleaned that day. Sadly it just lost the initial impact of an exciting arrival.

This is an A+ property all the way around,
