Wow. This property is so cool. I agree with another reviewer who said the pictures don't do it justice! The house is the most unique house I've ever been in--each room has its own character, and there's a giant boulder and stream running right through the middle! But also, it's so comfortable and relaxing--the huge windows let in light from all sides, the kitchen is well-equipped, the beds extremely comfortable. My husband and I stayed for two nights and wished we could stay for another week or more. The vistas are gorgeous. You can sit and have breakfast watching bunnies and blue jays darting about in the yard or have a glass of wine in the hottub while stargazing. Because the windows at the back of the house all face the mountains, it feels extra secluded. We want to come back as soon as possible and share the experience with friends--it's a perfect place to have big dinner parties outside as the sun sets over the mountains.

Can't wait to return!

This house was perfect for our group. It's in the perfect location, off the beaten path yet close to skiing and the lake. And it's built around giant boulders that add to the mountain house experience -- it's probably the coolest place we have ever stayed, and we can't stop talking about it! The huge yet cozy house has all the amenities one could want, including a hot tub to sit in and stargaze from. I wish we never had to leave! It's worth a stay for the views alone.

An Amazing Tahoe Experience

Kim Wyatt (Meyers, CA)
Review submitted: April 2, 2013   Date of arrival: March 30, 2013

I love Stonehenge! This special house is perfect for a getaway with friends or wedding parties, any group that wants to stay together but enjoy their privacy -- the house is spacious and relaxing. The views are unsurpassed, the Sierra and Desolation Wilderness are just outside the door. And the house is built around and amongst boulders--it's unique, and my friends who have stayed here can't stop talking about it. Stonehenge has all amenities, and plenty of room--you'll feel tucked away, but in comfort and luxury. It's close to everything that South Lake Tahoe has to offer, but its location is quiet and perfect for stargazing from the hot tub. Stonehenge is truly magnificent and an unforgettable experience--you won't find any place like it!

Spectacular and unique vacation home!

MothSF (San Francisco, CA, United States)
Review submitted: February 10, 2013   Date of arrival: February 7, 2013

My friends and I rented Stonehenge for a winter ski weekend. We absolutely loved its character, views, and amenities. It was clearly built with a lot of love, and every detail (and oh my, there are many details!) succeeds in making it a warm and welcoming place to stay. The views are incredible, and we spent far too long in the hot tub, identifying various constellations in the clear, starry mountain sky. We hope to return for another adventure sometime!

Dear Rosmarie,
Thank you for all your gracious hospitality. Your home is like no other. We are still in awe and have not been able to stop telling our friends what an incredible vacation we had in Lake Tahoe. We are planning to make this an annual family affair.

Honored to share this dream

Review submitted: September 29, 2012   Date of arrival: September 24, 2012

The pictures and descriptions of this home do not do it justice!
From the moment you enter the Boulder faced entrance your eyes and imagination will fill you with envy as you take in the home.
Windows in all directions let the mountains and landscaping complete the picture.
From dawn to dusk we saw marmots, rabbits, squirrels, chipmonks and birds galore.
The floor plan allows for groups and privacy.The bedrooms and baths are good sized and comfy. Radiant floor heat, ample linens and supplies in each.

This is a one of a kind house and we feel honored to have stayed here.

Fantastic Sierra Dream Home

ry (Napa, CA, usa)
Review submitted: April 26, 2012   Date of arrival: February 1, 2012

A very unusual property from the cave entrance to the giant boulders inside of the home to the gorgeous mountain setting - Stonehenge has it all!! We stayed several nights and woke each morning feeling as if we were the only people visiting Tahoe. The setting is very private with fantastic mountain views from every window. The seating areas on many levels allow you to spread out and take it all in. The various rooms (wine room, Greek bedroom, fur bedroom) add to the uniqueness of this home. The owners obviously crafted a most unique and comfortable home. We were provided with all the amenities necessary to enjoy a most relaxing stay. We will return again to Stonehenge as we felt we had truly stayed in the High Sierra in this home.

Viva La Stonehenge

Review submitted: April 2, 2012   Date of arrival: February 17, 2012

WOW!! Unique just begins to describe this mountain home, literally built around giant boulders. Inside and out we found opportunities to relax, entertain and take in the breathtaking views. Close to town, with the feeling that you are the only one for miles. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, Stonehenge is the ticket. Very enjoyable.

Incredible setting! Perfect for Families, Retreats, or Receptions

Kim Wyatt (Meyers, CA)
Review submitted: March 8, 2012   Date of arrival: October 6, 2011

We brought a party of 4 from across the country to stay at Stonehenge and host a writer's reception. The house is incredible! There is something to look at in every room -- you'll exploring the house for hours, if you can take your eyes off spectacular views of Echo Summit and the Desolation Wilderness. The windows along the back side of the house look out onto boulders, mountains, and forest, all the beauty of Tahoe without the tourists or the casinos (which are only a 15-minute drive away). There is a great outdoor area with picnic seating and a jacuzzi, and plenty of room to host a gathering or a large group of guests. It would be hard to find a better view on this end of town. In fact, we never wanted to leave the house!

The most remarkable part: The house was built around gigantic boulders that sit in the middle of the living room, and a stream runs inside, along the base of the boulders. It is truly jaw-dropping, and is part of the reason we will return.

It feels like a real Tahoe cabin, but on a much grander, wilder scale. It is fully furnished, has everything you could ask for, and is centrally located but doesn't feel like it. Staying here is worth every penny. Highly recommended!

A perfect place to vacation in Lake Tahoe area

Myra T. ()
Review submitted: November 5, 2011   Date of arrival: November 4, 2011

What an amazing setting! I've stayed at Tahoe Stonehenge a few times during the past five years and can't say enough good about this truly unique place--everywhere you look there are gorgeous views; it is an extremely comfortable, well-equipped home in a truly spectacular area. Everything has always been beautifully maintained, clean and well-cared-for. The owners are lovely people who provide excellent service and are extremely responsive, personable hosts. They give recommendations for good local restaurants, services and places to shop or visit.

My family has vacationed here often and we have greatly enjoyed all the amenities this place has to offer for small or large groups, including intimate dinners and parties for big family reunions. It is close to everything one needs for a fabulous stay in the region. It's near the beautiful lake for boating and swimming, great hiking trails, ski resorts, the beaches, golfing, tennis, casinos, whatever you can think of for enjoying a relaxing and fun-filled time. I'll come back again and again, and have often recommended this vacation rental to family members and friends.

Beautiful House

Rhonda J. ()
Review submitted: September 23, 2011   Date of arrival: September 2, 2011

This house is perfect for a larger family! We have stayed here twice and have loved it every time. There are so many beds and bathrooms that accommodate our large family, and the kitchen is great for cooking. They supply all the tools for cooking large meals. The backyard is very spacious for the kids and the pool table is great for entertaining the young adults. Beautiful house...

Sierra Keyes Manor, South Lake Ta hoe

Anthony C. ()
Review submitted: September 9, 2011   Date of arrival: August 19, 2011

The listing was accurate regarding location, layout and amenities. The property was well maintained. Rosmarie came by the day we were leaving and it was certainly a pleasure meeting her. I definately would recommend this property to others. There is boat riding, festivals and lots of restaurants, and lots of shopping! The casinos were only 5 minutes away. We really enjoyed ourselves and will never forget our stay. We loved the fact that we could come out to the backyard and there was a lake which allowed us to take boat trips up and down the lake. The view was beautiful too! Excellent vacation choice!

After searching through many listings for Tahoe vacation rentals, it was a blessing to find Stonehenge. The owners have put a lot of care into their eclectic home. Everyone in the group fell in love with the house. It is truly a gem!
