About this property

Prime summer weeks available July - Aug. Great yard, sunny deck, and floor plan

Come stay in our home in the family friendly community of Dollar Point, close to everything North Shore Tahoe has to offer. Winter time is packed with activities skiing, snowboarding, snow shoeing, sledding, etc. In 2021 Dollar Point HOA amenities are not available to short term renters.

Remodeled kitchen and wood floors throughout upstairs living areas and kitchen. Downstairs includes entry way with full bath, a separate, good sized bedroom with a queen sized bed, and an additional bunk suite (currently set up with a 2 sets of twin bunk beds and one single twin bed (for a total of 5 beds). There is a separate primary bedroom with king sized bed upstairs as well as another queen bedroom. Living room is upstairs with a large screen TV (satellite reception) and a beautiful natural stone fireplace with a no hassle gas fireplace remote control.
Excellent restaurants are nearby, as are scenic golf courses, some quite challenging, great hiking and all lake and river sports in the summer, and of course the great skiing/snowboarding close by in the winter at Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Northstar, and Homewood.

Tahoe City is less than 2 miles away. There are plenty of great restaurants around. And, if you are so inclined of course, there are the casinos of North Shore about 15 minutes away.

Good times are available.

Smoky Vacation
Very nice property. The owners were great in getting back to us when we had any issues. It was unfortunate that we couldn't really go anywhere and had to stay in the house because of the smoke. No biking, hiking or boating. Tried to make the best of it. Just sad that it was kind of a wasted vacation because of the fires.

Dollar point Tahoe reunion
We would like to thank Renee and her family for staying at they cabin. It was fun and wonderful to meet for a family reunion out there. The property was great and the locations is excellent 👍. All the proximity to the Tahoe city and other amazing locations made it so fun and relaxing. Great place to stay for 12 people. We would comeback again.

Highly recommended!
This was a fabulous place to stay! The house was clean, centrally located and had everything we needed. We were able to cook great family meals, do daily laundry, hang out on the beautiful, large deck and go for great walks in the neighborhood. The owners are amazing and quite frankly the best people we have ever rented from. Every time I emailed with a question or request, I got a prompt reply. These are people who genuinely care about their home and their renters. They answered questions, recommended places for us to see and go to eat, and the one need I had, they were on it and got it taken care of! We have rented many places through the years but this was by far, the best!

Great space for a group / Would stay again
Stayed over 4th of July with a group of 10 friends and a dog. PROS: Overall the space was great for our needs. Large central room with big kitchen. Pictures are pretty accurate. We cooked and bbqd several days and made plenty of use of the back deck. Neighborhood is charming and location is convenient to get to some of the local public beaches or bars (but still requires driving to get anywhere). CONS: This place is not air conditioned so expect to keep all the doors and windows open otherwise place is too stuffy in the summer. We also had to buy our own fan as one was not provided. We got a few noise complaints from neighbors, granted we were playing music somewhat loudly and the noise carries in this neighborhood but turned it down when told. Short term renters are no longer able to use the Dollar Point Association facilities (Pool, private beach, etc) so that really makes the value of staying in dollar point go down especially since you still need to drive to get to the public beaches.

About the host

Hosted by John and Renee McArdle

Host profile image
Thank you for considering a vacation at our family Tahoe home. I was raised in Michigan and have been a competitive skier my whole life. My parents gave me the gift of loving the outdoors, skiing, water sports, and appreciation for beautiful lakes! My husband John was raised in Ukiah and their family spent summers kayaking and camping. Together we have a love of Lake Tahoe and are now sharing that with our three young boys. We purchased this home July 2015 hoping to give our boys a childhood centered on family, tradition and a love of the outdoors.

Sincerely,

Renee and John McArdle
