Welcome to Sierra Sauna House, by Modern Mountain Vacations!

 

Discover elevated mountain living in out custom-built, LEED Gold Certified Tahoe retreat in the heart of South Lake Tahoe. Built in 2008, this thoughtfully designed 4bd/3.5ba features refined craftsmanship, and inviting indoor-outdoor living spread across 3 levels. Relax in a private sauna, soak in the hot tub, and enjoy the spacious backyard. Just 5 mins to the lake and 10 mins to Heavenly California Lodge for year-round adventure.

Welcome to Sierra Sauna House—a custom-built mountain retreat designed for restorative Tahoe stays, meaningful time together, and comfortable living in every season.

 

Located in South Lake Tahoe’s central and desirable Bijou neighborhood, this LEED Gold Certified home was thoughtfully built in 2008 with quality craftsmanship, natural materials, and wellness in mind. Across three levels and 2,610 square feet, abundant natural light fills the home while whole-house HEPA air filtration and filtered water create a fresh, clean indoor environment.

 

The entry level is home to three of the four bedrooms, creating a comfortable layout for families and groups traveling together. The primary suite offers a peaceful escape with a spacious ensuite bathroom featuring a soaking tub, separate shower, oversized walk-in closet, and direct access to the backyard and hot tub. Two additional queen bedrooms sit further down the hall, one with backyard access. A full bathroom, dedicated laundry room, and a cozy TV nook provide practical spaces for slower mornings and relaxed evenings.

 

The main living level was designed for gathering. The open kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow naturally onto the upper deck, complete with outdoor lounge seating, dining, and a BBQ overlooking a beautiful forested backdrop. It’s the kind of space made for shared meals, board games, morning coffee, and evenings under the trees.

 

Out back, the experience becomes something special. Soak in the hot tub after a day on the mountain or follow the moss-lined stepping stone path to the private sauna tucked into its own separate structure. You will love this quiet place to unwind and reset!

 

The mezzanine level offers space to recharge and reconnect as well. Enjoy the dedicated wellness studio with a Peloton (bring your shoes!), weights, yoga blocks, mirrors, and peaceful forest views, plus a small work-from-home area. Just beyond is the fourth bedroom, a bright and inviting retreat with a queen bed, sitting area, and nearby full bathroom with walk-in shower.

 

Just a 5-minute drive to the lake and 10 minutes to Heavenly California Lodge, Sierra Sauna House is ideal for families and thoughtful guests looking for a well-designed home base to experience Tahoe and all that it has to offer.

We felt like at home. It is located in a peaceful community with good privacy and close to all activities in South Lake Tahoe. The house was spotless and everything was very thoughtful. The hosts were very responsive.

Sierra Sauna House,

My family and I had a fantastic stay at the Sierra Sauna House this wknd! The property is beautiful, incredibly clean, and clearly designed with a lot of care. The absolute highlight for us was the sauna—it was the perfect way to unwind after spending our days exploring outdoors. The house itself has a ton of natural light, great layout and equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The hosts were excellent communicators and made the entire process super easy. We cannot recommend this place enough. We would absolutely stay here again!
