Our cabin sits on a parcel of 4 lots covering a bit over ½ acre, surrounded by open forest space. We have a great collection of literature about Tahoe: the birds, the trees, the flowers, where to find the wildflower hikes, the trails, the dog beaches and parks. Also, books about Tahoe's colorful history, and tall tales about the lake and its former inhabitants.
You'll notice the influence of my Norwegian, Swedish and Swiss heritage. Our wood-burning stove provides warmth and ambiance. The open living, dining, kitchen area makes hosting easy. Our bedrooms accommodate a variety of family arrangements. Our decks extend our living space into the outdoors.
I love the wonderful smell of the forest, the lovely summer temperatures, our yard with Insence Cedars, Jeffrey, Sugar, and Lodge Pole Pines, White and Red Firs and Alders. The easy walk to Sugar Pine Point State Park, the quiet West Shore, the short hike to the top of Eagle Rock for a bird's eye view of the lake, picking up the Sunday paper at the Tahoma Market, breakfast on the front deck while watching the world go by, walking our dog in the neighborhood and talking to the neighbors, watching old movies, inviting friends to visit while we're in town, the summer festivals, winter's Snowfest, driving around Emerald Bay, poking around the Vikingsholm and Valhalla, the stream profile at Taylor Creek and nature walks at DL Bliss State Park, hiking up to the tarns above Emerald Bay, horseback riding in Alpine Meadows or Camp Richardson, the hot springs in Nevada, the quiet fall season when the salmon are running, exploring near-by towns of Reno, Virginia City, Pyramid Lake, Tahoe City and Truckee, the great snow skiing where we have fabulous lake views and fun Apres Ski evenings. Above all, the beauty and peacefulness of the lake and the mountains!
