Chapel Grove (291884)

Cozy in the winter and blissfully cool all summer, this atmospheric, three-bedroom home in Tahoe City makes a wonderful base for adventure in the Sierras.

This two-story home sits among tall evergreens, in a serene, quiet neighborhood one mile from the heart of Tahoe City. The house is enviably close to the banks of the Truckee River, Commons Beach, Tahoe State Recreation Area, and excellent dining and shopping. Spend your summer swimming, kayaking, and fishing, and the sparkling winter months skiing the world-class slopes of Homewood Mountain Resort and Squaw Valley.

Begin each morning with a hot cup of coffee and a seat outside on the deck, where you can ease into the day amid the soft sounds of the woods. The deck is also a great spot for afternoon card games, appetizers, and alfresco meals prepared on the gas grill.

Inside, exposed beams and natural wood paneling give the house a real sense of place. Prepare hearty meals in the well-equipped kitchen, and sit down to enjoy them at the breakfast bar, the bistro high-top, and the dining room table. After dinner, you can toast your toes by the wood-burning fireplace and find a favorite movie to stream on TV.
