The Lake Tahoe Cabins consist of three distinct structures that gracefully navigate the rugged and intricate shoreline of Crystal Bay. Each cabin is thoughtfully positioned to embrace the site’s natural features, fostering unique connections with the stunning Tahoe landscape and the serene lakefront below.
A glazed bridge serves as a connecting element between the individual structures, its footprint artfully bending around a prominent mass of pre-historic Sierra granite. This innovative layout creates secluded recreational spaces that invite residents to pause and appreciate the beauty of the surroundings before descending towards the lake.
The second level of the cabins features an expansive great room and kitchen that stretch across the entire east-facing facade, offering panoramic views of the majestic landscape. Nestled against the hillside, an intimate deck and lawn provide a tranquil retreat, contrasting the cabin’s generous entertainment areas.
On the lake-facing side, the great room seamlessly transitions to a spacious balcony, further enhancing the connection with the natural environment and offering breathtaking vistas. The lowest level of the property features a cozy fire pit, a generously-sized hot tub, and a staircase leading to a private pier that extends gracefully beyond the water’s edge, inviting residents to immerse themselves fully in the tranquil ambiance of Lake Tahoe.
