1 Block from beach-Sleeps 10-Hot tub-Filtered lake views-Last minute discounts

Dollar Point Family Retreat is in a fabulous location, only 500' from the beach as the crow flies, on a very quiet street with filtered lake views and a greenbelt on the west side of the house. This home is perfect for the family getaway with four bedrooms, two baths, and an outdoor hot tub. Within a 5 - 20 minute drive from this home, you will find fabulous restaurants, shopping, world-class ski areas such as Palisades and Alpine Meadows, and a championship golf course at The Resort at Squaw Creek. Though most homes in the Tahoe area do not have air conditioning because it is usually not needed, we have a unit in the living room for those all-too-warm days.

>LAST MINUTE RATE REDUCTION IS POSSIBLE-JUST ASK.

>This home is not suitable for ten adults. Suits 1-8 adults and up to six children well.
>The Dollar Point facilities (pool, beach, and tennis courts) are available to short-term renters if they are friends or family of the owners.

The living room has a wood-burning gas fireplace, designer furnishings, and a 46-inch Sony LCD with Apple TV. The living room opens onto a large, furnished deck, set up for outdoor dining and grilling on the 2025 gas Weber BBQ.

The kitchen is very well equipped for those who enjoy cooking, complete with an espresso machine, All-Clad cookware, and loads of spices. There is also a breakfast bar that seats three and is a great place to keep the cook company. The attached dining room seats up to 10 and is the perfect place to relax with family and friends.

Just minutes from the home, there is outstanding bicycling on miles of paved bike trails that are separated from the roads. These trails traverse the West Shore to Rubicon Bay, and to Palisades and Alpine Meadows. There are also miles of mountain biking trails close by.

The ski areas of Palisades and Alpine Meadows are 12-15 minutes away. Northstar is about 20 minutes away.

Bedroom configuration:
Bedroom #1: Master bedroom with a king-sized bed
Bedroom #2: The 'Bunk Room' with four twin-sized beds- PERFECT FOR CHILDREN, NOT SO GREAT FOR ADULTS.
Bedroom #3: Queen-sized bed
Bedroom #4: Two twin-sized beds.

N.B. The Dollar Point beach, pool, and tennis courts are available to friends and family. Skylandia Beach is about a 12-minute walk or a 5-minute drive from the house and is open to the public without fees.

VRBO populates the cancellation policy. We would like to add that if a cancellation occurs within the two-week window before arrival, we will refund 100% if we can rent the house at the same rate or higher for the cancelled dates. If it rents for less, we will refund whatever that amount is.

Regarding the cleanliness rating, we had issues in 2017 & 2018 finding a good cleaning service, but we found one that has been terrific. Since hiring them, we have not had issues except once, and they came out immediately to rectify the situation.

Perfect family getaway!

We had a wonderful stay in Dollar Point for July 4th weekend. We loved the new kitchen and having breakfasts and dinners on the deck with a view of the lake. Communication with Debbie made the trip stress free. The layout, with the master on the main floor and additional bedrooms on the ground floor was optimal, was great for our family. Highly recommend!

Magical family holiday weekend in the snow

We again stayed in this comfortable, well-appointed and perfectly sited mountain cabin home to play in the snow for President's Day weekend. My three grandchildren delighted in staying in the bunk bed room together, while their parents and I were very comfortable in our respective bedrooms (mine en suite). Great views, great kitchen, large living room for games, movies, reading and hanging out. Woke to fresh snow for outdoor fun: sledding, snowball fights, snowman building. Welcome hot tub. Short walk to the lake for shoreline walks and stunning views. A perfect, relaxing, and fun time in a lovely home!

Great location in a beautiful area

I was traveling with a group of friends on an annual ski trip to the area. We loved the location and the spacious accommodations of the property. The host was very attentive to our needs and we appreciated the plentiful supplies provided (kitchen, bath, etc.). This is a great property for a large group looking for a nice place to stay at a good price point.

Wonderful Tahoe Getaway

Our stay was amazing, as was our host. This cozy property sleeps ten and comes prepared with all the amenities of home. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishwear/glasswear, pots, pans, linens, etc. There’s even a drawer full of spices and seasonings. We had everything we needed to set a beautiful Thanksgiving table and cook dinner for 7. Additionally, the hot tub is great and the area is calm and serene, but with restaurants and snow activities nearby. We had a great stay!

Amazing property on the lake!

We stayed here with two families and one friend. We descended from various parts of the country, with folks flying in to two different airports! So it was tough to pack for winter weather and small children, but the accommodations were perfect for all of us and had everything we needed! The location is fantastic! We walked to the lake, did some sledding, and had a ski day, all in one weekend. The house is near everything you need, with stores, pharmacies and restaurants all with a few mins drive. And, if you need to plug in to work while there the internet is reliable too. We look forward to returning!
