Gardner Mountain Lodge: New, Forest Land, High-end

Summary:

Welcome to Gardner Mountain Lodge! A brand-new, high-end modern mountain home designed for comfort, connection, and adventure — located directly across the street from National Forest land and the Tahoe Mountain Trail leading to Fallen Leaf Lake. This beautifully crafted retreat features luxury king suites, a bunk room for kids, a professional pool table, chef’s kitchen, spa-like bathrooms, and multiple living spaces, all just minutes from beaches, dining, and Heavenly.



The Space:

Whether you’re here for winter snowshoeing, summer hikes, fall bike rides right from the front door, Gardner Mountain Lodge is your home base for year-round Tahoe adventures.



*Please note, there is a hot tub at the home but it isn't included in the listing yet. We're in the process of having it permitted, and will open it up once the county approves it. It's a lengthy process so we can not guarantee it will be available until approved. We will update the listing with the hot tub as an amenity and photos once it is.



The Space

Gardner Mountain Lodge blends modern mountain design with elevated comfort and thoughtful craftsmanship — a refined retreat surrounded by nature.



The main living area is warm and inviting, featuring a plush sectional, a 75” smart TV, gas fireplace, and an open layout perfect for gathering after a day outdoors. The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances, a huge island, generous counter space, and everything needed to cook, entertain, and enjoy meals together. A large dining table seats 10, ideal for family and holiday dinners.



A second living area offers additional space to relax or entertain, complete with another 75” smart TV and a professional pool table for friendly competition.



After a day exploring ski trails, snowshoeing, or the lake, unwind in spa-like comfort. The primary bathroom features modern finishes, including a freestanding soaking tub and a glass walk-in shower with a rain shower head, creating a resort-quality experience at home.



With trail access directly across the street and Fallen Leaf Lake just beyond, adventure truly begins the moment you step outside.
