Settled above the tranquil and sandy shoreline of Lake Tahoe, Sugar Pine Chalet is a picture perfect Lake Tahoe lakefront vacation home. This five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath retreat boasts a bird's eye view of stunning lake and mountain vistas. Situated in a lovely, professionally landscaped and wooded location, Sugar Pine Chalet is the quintessential family home. From the moment you arrive, the breathtaking lake views take center stage. Large picture windows and an expansive deck invite you to soak in Tahoe’s natural beauty, from sunrise reflections over the water to pink-tinted alpenglow evenings. Inside, Sugar Pine Chalet captures the warmth of a true Tahoe cabin with log exterior siding, wooden walls, stone accents, and a cozy fireplace that anchors the great room. It’s where rustic elegance meets modern convenience and where every sunrise feels like it’s just for you. The open floor plan allows for an easy flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas, ideal for gathering after a day on the slopes or boating on the lake. Whether you’re preparing family dinners in the fully equipped kitchen, bellting out some tunes at the grand piano or playing board games by the fire, this home emanates togetherness. Five inviting bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for up to ten guests. The primary suite offers serene lake views and a spacious private balcony, while additional bedrooms ensure flexibility for multi-generational groups. With a kids' bunkroom suite on the entry level offering a separate entrance, a second bedroom for those desiring one level living, a ramp from the driveway into the home, and thoughtful touches throughout, the home is as functional as it is beautiful. Step outside, and the magic continues. The lakefront deck is perfect for morning coffee or sunset dining, complete with a gas barbeque and outdoor seating during the warmer months. A expansive backyard leads down directly to the lake, offering access for paddleboarding, sunbathing, or simply savoring the peace of the water’s edge. The gentle sound of waves against the shore creates an atmosphere that is unmistakably Tahoe, calm, restorative, and inspiring. One buoy is provided for guests and launching at the Lake Forest Boat Ramp down the street is simply as convenient as it gets.

Sugar Pine Chalet sits in the adorable Lake Forest neighborhood, adjacent to the popular Skylandia State Park and perched above the Skylandia Beach. Located just minutes from Tahoe City, this home offers easy access to the best of the region: boutique shops, fine dining, marinas, and scenic trails, all close at hand. In the winter, world-class ski resorts like Palisades Tahoe and locals' favorites like Tahoe XC - Lake Tahoe Cross Country Ski Center are a short drive away; while summer invites boating, lakeside picnics and events. Whether you’re seeking a family retreat in Tahoe, a romantic lakefront escape for two, or reunion with long lost friends, Sugar Pine Chalet delivers an unforgettable experience.

You will see signs on the front of all fire district stations, hear about it on the news, see it on social media and hear about it on the radio.

Winter Driving
Many highways, access roads and/or driveways are steep in Tahoe/Truckee and may be icy in the winter. To ensure your safety, it is critical that during November 1st - April 30th brakes, windshield wipers, defroster, heater and exhaust system are in top condition. Tires need to be properly inflated and the tread must be in excellent condition. Always carry tire chains, even if driving an AWD/4WD vehicle. Make sure the chains are the proper size for your tires and are in working order. You may find valuable winter driving tips from the CHP.

Summer Patio Furniture
Patio furniture is available for your use during summer months only. All outdoor tables, chairs and loungers are put into storage in the fall, in order to protect the furnishings from winter weather. Barbecue grills, however, do remain outside for your enjoyment.

Be Bear Aware
Black bears are very common in this area and have become habituated to human food and garbage. Because bears no longer have a strong fear of humans, you may encounter bears during your spring, summer and fall stays. Feeding bears is illegal. Leaving food outside, trash accessible, or doors and windows unlocked is likely to cause significant property damage to homes and to vehicles. Please take a moment to learn how to be Bear Aware, so that we can continue to live in harmony with our wildlife.

Office Holiday Hours
The TLUXP office is closed on New Year’s Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Therefore, we are unable to accommodate check-ins and check-outs on these dates. Thank you for understanding.
