Home of the Stars is a lakefront estate in the Skyland community in Zephyr Cove that boasts forest walking trails, a private community beach, and access to a plethora of activities and events offered in South Lake Tahoe. Between 1965 and 1983, celebrity performers for the Sahara Tahoe Hotel & Casino stayed at the Home of the Stars as guests of the hotel. Although Elvis Presley had a private suite at the Sahara, other stars preferred the tranquility and spectacular panoramic views the home offers. Recently, guests include 44th former Vice President Dan Quayle; John Elway, 2-time Superbowl champion quarterback; and Vanderpump Rules celebrities who filmed “Lake it or Break it” in Season 11, Episode 5, at the Home of the Stars. Today, guests can experience a little bit of history as a private residence.
This residence is 50 feet from the National Forest, multiple secluded sand swimming beaches, lakeside rock boulders to fish from, and hiking trails to the historic Zephyr Cove Resort & Marina. Every water toy is available for rent at the resort, along with a restaurant, two full bars, and summertime beachside volleyball. The historic MS Dixie II paddle wheeler, South Shores largest cruise ship, also berths at the resort and offers daily day and sunset cruises to Emerald Bay all year. Hike or drive, this resort is easily accessible from the Home of the Stars.
Three spacious levels define Home of the Stars. The six bedrooms are on the upper level, with a dry sauna to soothe the body after an exhilarating day on the slopes. The action occurs at the mid-level, with a gorgeous kitchen and sitting area with lakefront views, a living room with a fireplace, and a pool table for entertainment. On the lower level, the kids will enjoy the foosball table, television, kitchenette, and access to the sizeable lakefront deck, hot tub, and bar-b-que. There is no need to venture upstairs for food and drinks during sunny days on the lake. Bring your treats down to the lower level and spend the day lounging at your leisure, entering and exiting through the sliding glass wall and pocket door.
The 220-foot shared pier is a sight to behold amongst the granite boulders and a panorama of forest green pines and dazzling blue waters. Guests may tie to either of two reserved buoys 50 feet from the property's deep-water pier, but the pier may not be used for loading/unloading passengers or tying of motorized boats. Three 3 kayaks are available to access moored boats or for paddling recreation.
