About this property

Castaway Chalet is a lovely St Francis Lake view townhome with HOA amenities

Lovely, light and bright St. Francis town home with great lake views from the upstairs living and dining rooms. The St. Francis complex is beautifully maintained with grassy areas, a lovely pool for summer use, tennis courts, a seasonal outdoor and indoor hot tub* and a private beach and pier to enjoy in the summer. The location is ideal, just a couple of minutes drive to Tahoe City.

This home's reverse floor plan has a great room on the upstairs level to maximize water views from the living room and dining room. The great room is an open plan that's ideal for entertaining with lots of comfy seating, and a large dining table that seats up to eight. There are five Bluetooth speakers to sync your vacation soundtrack in this space. A Scandavian designed kitchen is clean and bright with ample storage and counter space. There a nice lake view deck off the dining room and a second lake view deck off the living room. There is also a full bathroom on this upper level. Recent updates to this home include a new dishwasher, washer and dryer, and new window treatments in the living room.

All three bedrooms are located downstairs on the entry level. The first bedroom is a bunk room with a queen on the bottom and a twin on top, the second bedroom has a queen bed. In the hall you'll find the full guest bath for these two bedrooms. The master bedroom has a queen bed and en-suite full bath.

Great escape!
We stayed here with another family and our kiddos. It was a perfect location! You're steps away from a private beach, the house is stocked with plenty of beach and cooking supplies. It was a perfect escape!

Castaway Chalet is Beautiful with Lake Views
There were 5 seniors all over 70 years, staying here. The only problem was the steep, narrow steps leading to the second story that had the living, dining, kitchen, full bath, and 2 great balconies with views. Once we got all our food stuff upstairs, it wasn't bad. Just be careful on the steps that lead to the entry and 3 queen bedrooms and 2 full baths. The kitchen was nice to cook in as was the bbq on a balcony. We had problems with no hot water, but it has been replaced since we left and we were given compensation for our troubles. Easy complex to take walks around (even with a cane or leg brace) and only several feet from Lake Tahoe, swimming pool and spa. Beautiful grounds. It's ideal for 3 couples or families staying together.

Great location and fabulous place
The condo was clean and spacious. The kitchen was well stocked for a short term rental. The location was great - steps from the lake and a short drive to shops, hiking and river rafting. The only problem was the hot water heater went out right before we got there. The management company worked very hard trying to fix the hot water heater during our stay. Unfortunately, they were unable to do so. We received a sizeable refund and just pretended we were camping. Overall, we had a great time and appreciate all that was done for us during the stay.
