Our home is located in Echo View Estates: this neighborhood is quiet & secluded, yet just a few minutes from the town of Meyers and the 'Y' area of South Lake Tahoe where you will find groceries, restaurants, bars and shops.
We are located in EL Dorado County and have snow removal service for our driveway, and the county plows take care of the roads. Our neighborhood does get a lot of snow so during big storms~ sometimes we have to wait for the county plow service to come through. We definitely recommend AWD or 4WD in the winter.
As for ski resorts, we are about equal distance from both and Heavenly Ski Resort (9 miles) and Sierra at Tahoe (11 miles) ~both about 15-20 minute drive depending on conditions. (A bit longer during stormy times, of course ) Kirkwood ski resort is 30 miles away.
1 car garage (may for 2 smaller vehicles, however our driveway is ‘single lane’) as well as 2 spaces in the driveway. This is a small neighborhood so there is rarely any traffic. No street parking is allowed in our town during snow removal operation months (November 1st-April 15th)
EDC STR Permit#: 074507 TOT # 076449

Don't just take our word for it—hear from families, groups, and travelers who've stayed with us.
We are 2 couples in our 60’s. First time in Lake Tahoe and this home worked very well for us providing privacy for each since there was a bedroom and bathroom upstairs as well as down. The beds were comfy, towels were great and the washer and dryer was handy. We sat by the fire pit and a good size bear went up a tree right by us. It is their home after all. Kitchen was well stocked and the spices, laundry soap and amenities were very well stocked. April was a great host and very responsive. We would definitely return to this home.

We absolutely loved our stay! The home was beautiful, extremely clean, comfortable, and even better than the pictures. The location was perfect for our Lake Tahoe trip, and the whole place had such a peaceful, cozy mountain feel. The hosts were wonderful, responsive, and made everything from check in to checkout super easy. You can tell they put a lot of thought into making their guests feel at home. Our family had an amazing time and made some great memories here. We would 100% stay again the next time we’re in Tahoe. Highly recommend! 😁

Very lovely place. Location was perfect - convenient to everything. Our son loved the upstairs kids' room and enjoyed the toys and books. Outdoor games and gas fire pit were a lot of fun. Comfortable and cozy and very nice. Had everything we needed.

This place was very nice and looked just like the pics. It was very peaceful and private. We enjoyed the deck and playing corn hole. Everything was extremely clean and organized. I would not hesitate to book this beautiful home again. :)

What a beautiful home! I was here to work (and play!) and it was perfect for both. Stunning views and quiet home with all the amenities you need. The open floors and windows make it easy to sit and write with inspiration. Then, the trails and mountains of Tahoe are literally across the street and easily accessible. I loved everything about this place and will be back!!
Abby
Great place to stay, just a short 5 minute drive to groceries and town. The house and neighborhood are clean and quiet. We used it as a base to explore all sides of Tahoe with our kids. The living area, kitchen, and backyard are great for family hangouts. Kids loved the games, toys, and tv after beach days. Would definitely return.

This is our second time coming back to Echo drive and we already know it will not be the last. This property is so welcoming we felt we were right at home. Super convenient location, away from the hustle bustle, the yard is private to have a peaceful morning routine

This is such a beautiful home. The view is stunning. If you're into shopping, the village is a short drive away or you can see all the beautiful views along the drive around the lake. Or, just sit back and relax at the property. Worth it, and we hope to be back! April is extremely kind and accommodating and we appreciated the welcome we received.
