The property is flat, with very easy access and also the bus/shuttle stops right outside on the corner for your convenience. Although our house is across the street from the lake, there is no lake view from the property.

Miniature golf is across the street from the beach and don't forget about the best breakfast joint around the corner, "The Old Post Office". We are close to many North Shore ski resorts with Northstar and Alpine only 12.5 miles away, Palisades Tahoe 14 miles and Mt. Rose 18 miles. Kings Beach is only 3 miles away and Tahoe City about 8.
