Location, location, location! That's just one of the perks you'll enjoy when you stay at this dog-friendly Homewood vacation rental, where you'll not only be poised right at the doorstep of magnificent Lake Tahoe - you'll be just minutes from seasonal activities at Homewood Resort, as well as hiking and biking among the awesome beauty of nearby Blackwood Canyon. You'll also be able to enjoy beautiful views of Lake Tahoe from the spacious deck and a private hot tub.

From the wood fireplace with brick facade and plush couches, to the country decor and wood accents, this living area says, "sit down and relax!" Slide a CD into the player and enjoy some music as Fido stretches out in front of the fire (up to two dogs are welcome with a nightly pet fee). After a day out on beautiful Lake Tahoe, bring up the laptop and check the headlines with the free WiFi, or watch your favorite cable news show. After dinner, watch a flick on the DVD player. Or, how about some low-tech fun with a board game?

Escape to the big deck for a breath of fresh air and a moment of solitude among the beauty of the pines that ring the property, while soaking up the views of the blue waters of Lake Tahoe. Don't forget to take a soak in the private hot tub!

Segue from country to cosmopolitan when you step into this fully equipped kitchen. Brightly lit, with lots of cabinets and counter space, your cook will have everything at his/her fingertips, including a built-in oven with stovetop, and a big stainless steel fridge. There's a microwave for quick snacks on the run (and movie night popcorn), and a dishwasher, so you can just load the dirty dishes and forget about them! Pick up a bottle of wine to relax with on the deck after dinner - wine glasses provided - and a bag or two of your favorite coffee beans for the coffee grinder.

With three bedrooms and a loft, this charming and spacious Homewood vacation rental will accommodate 12 comfortably. Downstairs is a nice, private bedroom with a roomy king bed. Upstairs, the second bedroom has two twin beds, a twin-over-full bunk, and a TV for late-night movies, making it perfect for younger guests or some laid-back friends to share. The third bedroom has a queen-size bed and a twin, and the open loft area has a fifth twin.

There are two full baths, both tastefully decorated; one offers a walk-in shower, the other a tub. And pack lightly: there's a washer and dryer for your convenience.

This spacious and charming Homewood vacation rental home is ideally located to...well, lots of sites and activities! You'll be right on a bike path, and just around the corner from Blackwood Canyon, a great recreation area for running, biking, rollerblading, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling. Homewood Resort - renowned for its "peak to shore" skiing - is just four minutes south. (There's more seasonal fun at Squaw Valley, Alpine, and Northstar, all within 25 miles of Homewood.) Boat owners: there are five boat launches, two of which are right in Homewood. Golfers can tee up at nearby Tahoe City Golf Course or Squaw Creek, both less than 10 miles away. Or, for a night out with Lady Luck, make the half-hour drive north over the Nevada border and visit Crystal Bay's casinos.

On your next trip to Lake Tahoe, why not stay somewhere that's both centrally located to all there is to do and see, as well as loaded with all the amenities to make your stay comfortable and memorable? Look no more! This lovely Lake Tahoe vacation rental refuge is the perfect place for your Homewood getaway.
