Why buyers keep circling back to this one
It is a small, cozy A-frame on Gardner Mountain, close to trailheads toward Fallen Leaf Lake and the beach corridor. Downstairs has vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, a gas wall heater you can run from your phone, one bedroom and a full bathroom. A rear deck looks out at California Tahoe Conservancy land, so there is no one building behind it. The second bedroom upstairs sits up in the roofline, with a treehouse feel. The flooring is new, the bathroom was updated, and the whole place was freshly painted inside and out.
