Description

Welcome to Birchwood Retreat, an enchanting Lake Tahoe vacation rental nestled in an unbeatable Alpine Meadows location. This recently renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom mountain oasis is just a 10-minute drive from Tahoe City and minutes from the Truckee River Bike Path and the slopes at Palisades Tahoe, making it the perfect choice for active families and adventure enthusiasts.

Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, this exquisitely designed Alpine Meadows getaway features an open floor plan with a stunning wall of windows that showcase the surrounding forested landscape. The main living area boasts lofty vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a warm wood-burning fireplace, a flat-screen TV, and an artisanal wooden dining table that seats 6. The brand-new chef's kitchen is a culinary haven, boasting granite countertops, a huge island, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, including a 6-burner gas range stove.

On the main floor, you'll discover a cozy guest bedroom featuring a queen-size bed dressed in plush bedding. The guest bathroom conveniently doubles as a laundry room and offers easy access to the backyard. Step out onto the large back deck from the main living area, where you can savor the fresh mountain air and relax in the private hot tub after an exciting day hitting the slopes or exploring Lake Tahoe.

The upstairs loft is dedicated to the Primary Bedroom, offering a king-size bed and a luxurious ensuite bathroom. Additionally, there's a guest bedroom with two bunk beds that the little ones will adore!  This home features a detached two-car garage and a level driveway, ensuring easy access to and from all of your Lake Tahoe adventures.

Incredible Stay!

Absolutely loved the Birchwood Retreat...what a thoughtfully stocked and perfect vacation house for our family. From a great set of chef's knives to every spice you might need and every pan to make a great meal...and a beautiful patio and interior space. Honestly could not recommend a house more. Really really enjoyed the stay with our kids and their friends.

Overall great home, a really beautiful property that was exactly how described. The property was perfect for our family and the host were responsive and helped provide resources since we were traveling with our 5 month old son. It's also close to Palisades Tahoe and other locations which is ideal. Would definitely stay here again!

The house was beautiful and cozy. Super clean and full of the creature comforts. A word of caution with the driveway- it was completely iced over and wasn’t cleared after we alerted tahoe getaways. My SUV was close to sliding into the garage. If they could fix the driveway i’d give this place a 5.

Nice house for small groups

The house is great for a small group. A perfect location for Alpine (free shuttle from Mountaineer delivers door-to-door). We arrived to find a dirty hot tub, but the management company sent someone who quickly drained and refilled it. There is only one common room for everyone. The kitchen was modern and well-maintained.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your review Bruce! We appreciate your patience with us regarding the hot tub as well.

super convenient location; definitely download the mountaineer app to get back and forth around the Palisades and Alpine meadows. The downstairs bathroom and primary bedroom is little brisk compared to the rest of the house so make sure to use the provided heaters. The house is also located next to a lovely creek. So relaxing! Loved it

The space was furnished nicely with a well stocked kitchen and clean bathrooms. Heating system and insulation were very effective, as well as the hot tub on the balcony. Guests on the second floor should be mindful that the water pressure is less than the ground floor and avoid overtaxing the toilet in a single flush.

Beautiful small home near alpine. Everything is modern and has all the conveniences needed for our group ski trip. Hot tub and patio were great and kitchen was first class. We loved the high ceilings and large windows. Sort of a strange entrance with a large tarp obstructing the walkway but wasn't too inconvenient to pull aside each time we came in/out. Overall a fantastic property.

Manager's Response

Thank you for taking time to write a review. We would love to host you in Tahoe anytime!

The house is newly renovated and lovely. It's a great location for all seasons. Easy access to Alpine Meadows and Olympic for skiing.

Perfect for families!

The cabin is cozy and and really well suited for families or friends crew. The huge windows in the main great room make you feel like you are nestled in the woods. Kitchen is newly remodeled and stocked with everything we needed and easily allowed us to cook for our 8 person crew. We spent a lot of time in the hot tub and with Alpine Meadows a very short drive down the street, endless skiing opportunities (plus the local shuttle so no need to drive!). We loved our stay and can't wait to go back!!
