Trailside Escape: Walk to Nordic Center, Hot Tub, Dogs Welcome

// This home is a short term rental only \\

**DOGS CONSIDERED**

Calling all hikers, bikers, and cross-country skiers… this is the one for you! The location doesn’t get any better. The backyard of Trailside Escape opens up to the meadows of the Tahoe City Nordic Center. Adventure is literally at your doorstep!

The home itself is an ideal blend of form and function. Enter on the lower level which contains all 3 of the bedrooms. Two bedrooms, one with a Queen and one with a Twin plus a set of Twin bunk beds, share a guest bathroom in the hall. The ample King master bedroom has a TV, walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom complete with jetted tub and separate shower, and sliding glass door leading to the backyard.

Upstairs, enjoy the open great room with kitchen, dining area (table seats 8), and living room with large sofa, wood burning fireplace and half bathroom. French doors lead to a cozy and well-equipped family room, featuring game table, wet bar, flat screen TV, and gas fireplace. For larger groups (maximum total occupancy is 9), the family room also offers a plush Queen sofa bed and a full bathroom.

Just off of the upstairs living area, a spacious deck with gas grill (SUMMER ONLY) and table for outdoor dining overlooks the tranquil meadow behind the house. On the lower level, a luxurious hot tub awaits. Ping Pong table for guest use as well

The community known as The Highlands sits just two miles east of downtown Tahoe City. This quiet residential neighborhood offers a serene setting and beautiful meadow views, but is just a five minute drive from the many dining, shopping and recreation options in Tahoe City.

Skylandia State Park and Beach is only a mile from the base of the Highlands neighborhood. The sandy beach features a pier and swimming area. While the beach itself is not pet-friendly, dogs are welcome in the park area. Skylandia Park provides barbeques and picnic areas, hiking and biking trails, and gorgeous lake views.

During ski season, it’s just 15-20 minutes to Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows, two of the premier Tahoe ski areas. A single lift ticket provides access to both resorts, and the Squaw/Alpine Express offers between-mountain transportation every 20-30 minutes. Five other amazing North Tahoe ski areas are also nearby.

Bedroom 1 - Downstairs Master, King Bed

Great views from the deck
Overall this is a lovely property. All of the bedrooms are downstairs and stay relatively cool, although there is a bit of a basement feel to the downstairs. For us, the best part of the house was the view from the upstairs deck and spending time on the deck in the mornings and evenings when it was cool. While the back yard is somewhat fenced in, the fence doesn't come all the way to the side of the house, so there is no way to let your dog out in the back yard and know that she can't just walk around the side of the house to the street. That was disappointing. Also, the house was advertised as having a dishwasher and when we arrived a sign on the dishwasher said it was out of service. Handwashing piles of dishes every day while on vacation, when I am used to having a dishwasher at home, was a BIG bummer. Parts of the house have been updated and parts haven't, (i.e. no baseboards and painting needed, carpet in bathrooms), but again, overall, it was a lovely home, and the management company was very friendly all along the way. Also a nice quiet neighborhood and when in the backyard, you can't really see any nearby neighbors. I would stay here again, after making sure the dishwasher worked. :)

Spacious House and Great Location
We stayed at this house in the summer, and found it enjoyable. The location is great, and near bike and walking trails. It is close enough to Tahoe City to pop in and get what you need, but far enough away to be in a relaxing and quiet neighborhood. The house is well stocked with cooking gear (although a little beat-up, as you'd expect from a Tahoe rental). Good grill outside, and a large kitchen for preparing meals for everyone without bumping into each other the whole time. Lots of space in the house for relaxing and hanging out, especially in the TV area with couches, a table, and bar space. All three bedrooms are downstairs and close to each other, and the "kids room" is good for families that need enough beds. The management group was very responsive to messages, and check-in/out process was straightforward.

Clean, comfortable, quiet and spacious
The house was as described and perfect for our group. It was clean, comfortable, quiet, and spacious. The kitchen was well appointed and we cooked several meals. Overall, the house had everything we needed and was conveniently located to downtown Tahoe City. Like most houses in the area, there is no central AC, but that was not an issue due to the cool nights and abundant fans. Even with above average temps, we were cool and comfortable. Communication with Hauserman Rental Group staff was excellent prior to and during our stay. We didn't have any issues during stay which resulted in a need to contact them, but I am confident we would have had an immediate response. We would definitely stay again.

Great stay for skiing palisades
Had a great time with friends and skiing tahoe, we weren’t into the cross country skiing but it is right outside the back door and enjoyed watching all the people. Everything in the house worked well and the open space upstairs provided the perfect place to entertain and enjoy everyone’s company. Only thing I would suggest is adding an extra key for the house. We only had one and was tough at times when the group wanted to do different things.

Was looking to hike right outside my door with my dog and you couldn’t beat this cross country ski/bike/hike location. Plenty of room, wonderful deck, hot tub and ping pong. I (wish I) could live here during the hot east Bay Area summers

Summer getaway
Thr trailside escape was the perfect location for our family vacation and first time enjoying Lake Tahoe in the summertime. It was a cozy home that provided all the space we needed to relax, gather, eat, play and rest. Definitely took advantage of the deck and bbq to cool down and cook meals, the dining table sat our group comfortably, and the game room is stocked with movies and games. Great location, easy access to the city for groceries and drive out to the beaches.

A winter wonderland!
We stayed over the 2021 Christmas Holiday which brought exceptional snow to the area. The house was warm and cozy when we got there with plenty of room for everyone. It's a short drive to get supplies in Tahoe City. The management company was very understanding and cooperative when the whole region got snowed in and made the slight extension to our vacation easy. Next time I'll pack snowshoes as there's a XC/snowshoe trail literally right in the backyard. The kitchen is roomy and was equipped well enough to cook Christmas dinner for 5.

Terrific Tahoe Retreat
We were there for memorial and needed a place that would offer space, sanctuary, and solitude - but that would accommodate family coming from different states and so location would have to be close to where we would all gather at memorial (at Commons Beach). This home was perfect. You are in a neighborhood close to main stuff and minutes from beach, but it feels like you are isolated from touristy part of town and neighborhood is so quiet. We especially appreciated private driveway and garage. LOVED coming in from travel to a CLEAN, WELL-CARED FOR home. Fantastic & spotless kitchen layout, though cupboards & drawers could use some organization of pots & pans and utensils. Nevertheless, there was definitely everything needed to prepare meals, just had to dig around a bit. Also, everything you need to come in and get started on your Tahoe time - clear instructions for everything, starter stuff for bathrooms, laundry, home entertainment. On the spot communication from property management, everything is done to make it easy for you. You absolutely will love this place - we were just all so sad due to the circumstances that we could not make use of everything offered. But when we return to Tahoe, we are only staying here. Five stars everything.

Love this place!
The photos did not do this property justice, it was great! The house was huge, and there were 4 adults, 2 kids, and two dogs. The backyard was big enough for all of us to build a hill to sled down, so we didn't need to go out anywhere, but the location was still close to everything. The house was clean and had large windows out to the back yard which was an added bonus. We can't wait to go back.

Great family stay
Had a great time at this property. The trail in the back was great with some good photo ops along the way. Close to stores and the lake. Kitchen and living spaces are huge. It’s a shame there is so much creaking on the 2nd story since bedrooms are on the first floor. Plus side is that the bedrooms keep very cool being on the first floor.
