The Space

Rhapsody Lodge's living room has wood paneling, a wooden beamed ceiling, a gas fireplace, plenty of comfortable seating, a large flat-screen TV, board games, books, and a record player to play your favorite albums to get the dance party started.

Two bedrooms, including the master, are upstairs. The master bedroom has a deck, a walk-in closet, a recliner, and a free-standing gas stove. The bedrooms share a bathroom with a shower and jacuzzi tub. At the top of the stairs is a small TV loft perfect for kids' movie nights. At the base of the stairs is a study which has a couch and a desk and is connected to a 1/2 bathroom.

The two downstairs bedrooms share a bathroom with a shower and tub combo. The back bedroom is a captured bedroom, but it does have its own outside entrance/exit. There is a small vestibule connecting the two rooms and the bathroom. All four bedrooms have closets, dressers & nightstands.

The large kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, small appliances, tableware, and utensils. It also has a gas stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. The dining table seats eight comfortably. Don't all parties all end up in the kitchen?!! Off the kitchen is the laundry room with a washer and dryer.

The large fenced yard has a hot tub on the deck, BBQ, picnic tables, and a badminton court. Ping-pong, corn hole, darts, and other gear can be found in the 2-car garage. We have had many a "Tahoe-lympics" in the driveway, so may your best sportsperson win!!

Guest Access

The entire house is available to guests except for a few locked cabinets & closets. The 4-bedroom configuration, which sleeps up to 8, is ideal for families, couples, and those friends you've had since high-school/college who get together every year.

Other Things to Note

  • Throughout the house are detailed instructions for various appliances. Also, there is a physical guidebook for the cabin underneath the living room coffee table.

  • The BBQ is a gas grill.

  • Please put all trash into the bear boxes located by the driveway.

  • Do not store food outside or inside your cars to prevent serious damage caused by racoons or bears.

Neighborhood Highlights

Our quiet neighborhood consists of mostly long-time owners and residents. King's Beach is a 4-minute drive and Tahoe City is a 20-minute drive. Our central location gives you access to all that the North Lake Tahoe basin has to offer.

N. Tahoe Regional Park is a 2-minute drive and has many free activities including baseball & soccer fields, disc golf, playgrounds & picnic areas. Walk or bike on a paved trail. You can reserve a tennis or pickleball court. Try Tahoe Treetop Adventures for zip-lining and ropes course fun.

For summer days at the lake, Agatam Beach & Moon Dunes are walking distance from the house, and Kings Beach is less than 2 miles down the road. All 3 are wonderful sandy beaches great for relaxing, swimming, kayaking, SUP'ing, jet-skiing & more.

Northstar Resort is a 10-minute drive and offers snow sports in the winter, and golf & horseback riding in the spring and summer. Palisades, Alpine, Mt. Rose, & Diamond Peak ski resorts are a bit longer drive but worth the extra miles.

Old Brockway Golf Course is a 2-minute drive and our favorite spot to golf. You can't beat the views and a post-round drink at Spindleshanks is a must! Ponderosa Golf Course in Truckee is another place we love to golf. There are also 2 mini golf courses - one in King's Beach, the other in Carnelian Bay for loads of family fun.

Safeway is a 2-minute drive from the Lodge.

For dining locally, we recommend Lanza's, Spindleshanks, Jason's, Las Panchitas, Garwoods, The Grid, The Char Pit, & Pep's Place. There is also plenty of great places in Tahoe City, Truckee & Incline.

Getting Around

We have a 2-car garage and driveway spots for 3 cars.

During the winter you MUST carry chains or have AWD or 4x4. Roads can be shut down without warning so have backup plans ready. Also, snow-plowing the driveway may require you to have to move your cars temporarily.

There is a public bus stop within 2 blocks at Hwy. 28 & Pino Grande Avenue which can take you to neighboring towns and ski resorts. To see bus arrival time in real-time, download the "NextBus" app on your smart phone. In winter, additional ski shuttle buses are provided. Tahoe Connect also offers rides for free.

Reno Tahoe International Airport (RNO) - A shuttle operates a few times a day. Advanced reservation is required. Call North Tahoe Express.

There is a bike lane on the side of the road to Kings Beach, Tahoe City, Squaw Valley and Northstar.
