About the host

Hosted by Ellen Politz

Host profile image
We live in the Bay Area and have always wanted a home in Tahoe. The time was right for our family to spend more time in the mountains and at the lake, so we jumped in. This home has a long rental vacation history (with 52-star reviews), and we plan to continue the top notch service in this beautiful home and setting. We are looking to rent our vacation home to other like minded people who will treat our home as if it was your own! We aim to provide a clean, high quality, enjoyable getaway. If anything breaks – please call us and let us know. We realize accidents happen – and we would appreciate you reporting any issues so we can arrange for replacement. It's really not about a $2 glass, it’s about making sure every guest has a good experience.

Why they chose this property

This property is newer built in 1999 and well maintained. But the location was the reason we purchased this home. 1/2 block or less to the beach, boating, mini golf, pizza, cocktails and the pier. Minutes to shopping, skiing and more!

What makes this property unique

Prime North Shore LOCATION!!
Filtered LAKE VIEWS!
Easily accommodates 2 families.
We have all the "FUN Stuff" for sledding in the winter and going to the beach in the summer - easy ups, floaty toys, rafts, etc.
And we have a tankless water heater and that means hot showers for your whole group!!
Plus 800 SF Deck . . . Enjoy!
