About this house rental

This spectacular, prize-winning executive home is on Lake Tahoe's South Shore. To reach the front door, one must enter into a great stone cavern formed by massive granite boulders under a sod roof. The end of the fifty by thirty-five foot living room is formed by a single stone. In the center of this great room lies another boulder and a mossy trout pond. This brings indoors the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, patios, and lawns. Two gigantic fireplaces rise and pass through the room's twenty-three foot ceiling. Overlooking all of this are two sweeping, curved balconies which provide additional views of the mountain peaks and green forests that have made the Tahoe Basin world famous.
'Stonehenge' is a beautiful vacation home built on a rocky ridge overlooking the woods and meadows of Tahoe Valley and the crest of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada. It is located at the edge of the El Dorado National Forest and no house or rooftop, nor street or wire, mar its magnificent view.


The end of the 50 by 35 foot living room is formed by a single stone. In the center of this great room lies another boulder and a mossy trout pond, bringing the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, patio and lawns inside. Opposite the living room's glass solarium is the dining room, breakfast corner and tiled kitchen. Two gigantic fireplaces rise and pass through the room's 23 foot ceiling. Overlooking all of this are two sweeping, curved balconies which provide additional views of the mountain peaks and green forests that have made the Tahoe Basin world famous. Each bedroom is decorated with a unique and distinctive decor, the Greek Myth room, the Timberline room, Tyrolean, Mediterranean and Wildlife room. The unusual Austrian-styled 'Strube' has its own stucco fireplace and provides a separate hideaway for games or intimate conversation. A library contains books and memorabilia gathered in travels to distant parts of the world.

Mountain climbers who sometimes scale the boulders near 'Stonehenge' acclaim its distinctive setting, intimate and blending with the environment, isolated, yet only five minutes from the center of town, elegantly styled but with a homespun sort of warmth. WEDDINGS, PARTIES, AND OTHER ACTIVITIES ARE NOT ALLOWED. ONLY 12 PEOPLE DAY OR NIGHT. No hot tub use after 10 Pm Dogs are allowed with written permission only text or phone

This is not a luxury experience, but great contact with the host. If any guests have mobility problems, it could be a challenge as the beautiful downstairs levels are largely stone.

Perfect for a Family gathering
Perfect for a Family gathering
The spaciousness of Stonehenge home combine that with great vistas, the morning sunrises, the evening sunsets, and star gazing at night, make this one of the best places to gather a family on vacation. The large outdoor picnic table allows for a meal and fun conversation. So close to hiking and Lake Tahoe, it was a perfect getaway.

Once in a lifetime experience
Once in a lifetime experience
When are going to ever be able to say you stayed in a house built around natural boulders. What a unique experience. This house is a step back into early 1970s. Rosemary is absolutely the perfect host. She made recommendations for hikes all of which were amazing and a little less congested. I would have loved to have a coffee with this sweetheart. This is not on the lake but only 15 minutes away. My kids had so much fun climbing the rocks and the starlit skies were a perfect end to the night. A trip we will never forget. Would very much recommend.
