Mountain Rustic Ski House

We have come Skiing from San Diego, CA to Mt Rose for many years and loved it. So, when we learned of the opportunity to buy this home so close to the Ski Resort, we jumped at it. This is a one of a kind Home hidden in the Mountains above Lake Tahoe off the Mt Rose Hwy 431 with views to Reno, a short distance up an unpaved road about 200 yards from Main Hwy and only 1.5 miles to Mt Rose Ski Area. At about 7600 feet, there it is always nice temperature on the hot Reno Summer Days. Besides being a wonderful vintage home, the views are incredible. Did I say the Views from this home are incredible. Well it is certainly worth mentioning more than once. This house was built in 1950 by the first Ski Area Developer in all the Sierras. We are the proud new owners, and everyone tells us that this is the best built house anywhere around. We love it and want to share it. The first renters said they loved it and felt like they were in a museum. I would not call this a Luxury Home, but a very comfortable place to stay. One really feels at home at our home in the mountains. The Home is located right next to Sky Tavern Ski Area, which the builder of this home also Built. There is so much history for the area and Ski resort. Sky Tavern was the first Ski resort in all of the Sierras. We Love to speak to future guests. During and right after winter storms you may need 4 wheel drive and/or chains to reach our parking. There is parking below about 200 yards near the main highway where you can park and walk up. Our private road is not always cleared regularly after a large snow storm, and many of the people who live on the road ( just 10 houses) leave their cars below by the main highway during large storms. Situated half way between Incline Village, Lake Tahoe and downtown Reno, NV is Sky Tavern. A unique mountain top community that’s surrounded by wilderness and is only 1.5 miles from Mount Rose Ski Area.
Our home is a comfortable and spacious home designed for those looking to enjoy a mountain home with easy access to skiing, hiking, mountain biking or everything Reno and Tahoe have to offer.
The home has a dramatic fireplace in the living room on the main level, along with the kitchen, master bedroom, a full bathroom, and a bedroom with a great Queen platform bed with the newest type memory foam Mattress.
Downstairs, you will find 2 bedrooms & the Den bedroom plus a full Bath Room.
The house is very comfortable but not “fancy”. Its warm and cozy during the winter and is the perfect home base for ski days at Mt Rose or exploring the greater Reno/Tahoe area.
The house is less than 25 minute drive from Reno-Tahoe International Airport and downtown Reno. It’s 20 minutes to Incline Village and Lake Tahoe .
