Thunder Lodge: 3 BR / 2.5 BA cabin on West Shore, Sleeps 6. Hot tub & sauna!

// This home is a short term rental and ski lease \\

**PETS PROHIBITED**

Welcome to Thunder Lodge, a luxe mountain retreat on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. Centrally located for easy access to all your Tahoe adventures, this beautiful 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home is a perfect getaway for up to 6 guests.

All 3 bedrooms are on the lower level; one with a King, one with a Queen and one with 2 Twin beds. Between the King and Queen bedrooms there’s a gorgeous, spa-like bathroom with dual vanities, heated floor and a heated towel rack. Across the hall, next to the Twin bedroom, is another full bathroom. Each bathroom has a shower but no bathtub. Also on this level, a spacious steam sauna and a large hot tub are at the ready to refresh and relax you after a day on the slopes or the lake.

Upstairs, the living room features a leather sofa and easy chairs with lots of cozy throw blankets, giant flat screen TV, and convenient gas fireplace. The fully equipped kitchen offers new GE stainless steel appliances, wine fridge, center butcher block island and plenty of shelf space for all your goodies. The adjacent dining area has a large table with seating for 6 and a buffet nearby for serving. A reading nook, half bathroom and deck with gas grill (available in summer) complete the upstairs layout.

Thunder Lodge sits on a level lot with plenty of parking in the heated one-car garage or on the paved driveway.

Located in a quiet neighborhood just 3.5 miles south of Tahoe City and a mile south of Sunnyside, the property feels remote but provides easy access to all kinds of activities. You’re minutes away from skiing at Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows or Homewood Mountain Resort; walking distance to the dazzling blue Tahoe water at Hurricane Bay; literally steps from amazing hiking and biking trailheads at Ward Creek State Park; and a short drive to Sugar Pine Point, DL Bliss and Emerald Bay State Parks.

Once you’ve experienced Thunder Lodge, you’ll be “thunderstruck” and won’t want to stay anywhere else!

Property Images
The images posted on the website did not accurately reflect the status of the property. Images portrayed a recently updated and clean property where as it was old and not very clean or updated. It was overall disappointing to us.

Thunder Lodge 9/7-9/11/23
Beautiful outdoor location, as well as interior decor. Steam room and jacuzzi both available but went unused. Our brief stay took us out and about. All furniture was comfortable EXCEPT the leather couch in LR. Couch needs to be replaced. Fun games were available but we had brought our own. Great Kitchen appliances were available for use. Made great use of appliances and cookware but brought our own stock of food, seasoning and coffee. The overall unit was primarily clean except for kitchen island table. We washed pots & pans before AND after our usage. Kitchen trash and Bear Bins (outside) were all FULL upon our arrival. We couldn’t empty kitchen trash with bear bin full. Bear bin was not emptied until our third day at the cabin. NOT impressed with stair cases up to living room/kitchen and down to bedrooms. I guess I missed the description or pictures that said this was a tri-level unit. Both the STEPS and RAILINGS are unsafe. a. Steps are STEEP and metal hand railing too flexible. & insufficient length. One guest had to BEND DOWN to be able to grab hand rail at either stair location. b. Double-check California structure code!!!! c. NOT a disable-friendly unit. Bath area rugs need GRIPPER bottoms - unsafely slip. HRG staff always courteous. Overall, unit too unsafe for my group but enjoyed our stay in spite of issues.

Wonderful home in a quiet neighborhood close to the lake, beaches, shopping and great restaurants. The house was well equipped with everything you could need. Great for 6 people and having a half bathroom is a plus. Would definitely rent again.

Great house near Tahoe City
I rented this house for a quick girls weekend. Everything was great! House was clean and had everything we needed. The spa was clean and relaxing. Management was always helpful and easy to reach with any questions I had. I definitely recommend this house.

Overall we enjoyed our stay here. The home is in a great location, close to the lake, stores, etc. The hot tub and sauna are the best features of this place. The hot tub was actually hot and pretty roomy. The sauna was really nice too. The beds were comfy but the bed frame was too bulky for the small room so we kept bumping into the sharp corners when walking by. Also the place looked a bit bigger on the photos tbh, but it’s not too big of a deal. Something I really didn’t like though, was that a lot of the mugs in the cupboard were dirty and looked like someone just drank coffee from them and then put them back and the coffee already dried up in them. The milk frother was also not washed. Just unpleasant :/ Overall our stay was good, I think the hot tub and sauna definitely made up for the other little things but I’d really suggest whoever cleans this place to do a better job and make sure all the dishes are clean.

cozy home near lake Tahoe
Stayed here with a group of friends. Comfortable home with a nice big hot tub. Actually the nicest hot tub I've seen but temp locked at 104 degrees. I would recommend lowering temp and providing more towels. we felt there wasn't enough body towels for 6. There was a washer and dryer which helped. The kitchen is well stocked and we were able to cook and bake a lot. The beds were comfy and the location is close to main attractions. There were some crumbs/popcorn on the floor when we arrived, the previous guests may have made a mess that was difficult to clean. the patio table was a nice touch and allowed for a peaceful meal in the back. communication with management was easy. overall a pleasant stay.
