Description Pines of Peace: Kings Beach

Floor-to-ceiling windows pull the pine forest right into the living room of this Tahoe home, where a stone hearth makes it easy to linger long after a day on the slopes. A skylit kitchen gives everyone room to cook together, and the main suite opens directly onto a deck wrapped by trees – offering the perfect spot to savour the fresh air. Northstar is less than ten-minute drive away, and Kings Beach – with white sand, restaurants, and shops – is just three minutes from the front door.

Home truths:
* There's free parking for up to four small cars on the driveway.
* If you're driving up in winter, a 4-wheel drive or 2-wheel drive tires with snow chains are strongly recommended.
* There's no air conditioning here.
* The barbecue is only available during the summer months – if you're visiting in winter or spring, you won't be able to use it.
