The name Incline Lakeside Haven is a description, not a marketing phrase. At 689 Mt Watson Court in Incline Village, NV, the Lake Tahoe shoreline is less than a 10-minute walk from the front door. Lakeshore Boulevard is 1 minute by car. Sand Harbor State Park is 10 minutes south. The home is 2,886 sq ft with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a hot tub in a private garden, a BBQ grill, and large picture windows that bring mountain views and garden greenery into the open-plan living area.
For groups whose reason for visiting the North Shore of Lake Tahoe is the lake itself rather than the ski resort, Mt Watson Court is the address in Incline Village that earns that priority. Diamond Peak Ski Resort is still a short drive for winter visits. But this is primarily a lakeside home in Washoe County, Nevada, and it works best when used that way.
Incline Lakeside Haven at a Glance
Three Reasons Mt Watson Court Works
Lake Tahoe Is a 10-Minute Walk
Most 4-bedroom homes in Incline Village require a car to reach the water. At 689 Mt Watson Court, the group can walk to the lake edge in the morning before beach traffic arrives and return for lunch without touching a key. That walkable rhythm across a multi-day summer stay changes the character of the trip in a way that 'close to the lake' properties two miles uphill cannot replicate.
A Private Garden Around the Hot Tub
The hot tub at Incline Lakeside Haven is not on a narrow deck between two walls. It is set within a spacious private garden surrounded by mature greenery. That distinction matters in practice: the soak feels removed from the street and from neighboring properties, not staged on a balcony. Children have room to move freely in the garden while adults use the hot tub simultaneously without either group compromising the other's space.
Four Parking Spaces in One Property
Four on-site parking spaces at a single Incline Village rental is genuinely uncommon. Groups arriving with multiple vehicles, ski equipment, kayaks, or bikes do not need to negotiate street parking or leave gear in a car overnight. All four vehicles go on-site and stay there for the duration of the stay without a single logistical conversation.
Four Bedrooms Across 2,886 Sq Ft
Incline Lakeside
Haven gives 8 guests four private bedrooms spread across a 2,886 sq ft home
with 3 bathrooms distributed across the layout. The bedroom configuration
handles families, two couples travelling together, and friend groups of 8 with
equal practicality.
Primary Bedroom
The primary bedroom is the largest room in the home with dedicated bathroom access. It is sized and positioned for the lead couple or the adults in a family group who prioritize private bathroom access throughout the stay.
Second Bedroom
The second bedroom provides comfortable sleeping for a second couple or two adults with access to the shared main bathroom. Natural light enters from the garden-facing side of the home.
Third & Fourth Bedrooms:
The third and fourth bedrooms complete the sleeping capacity for the full group of 8. Both rooms are suitable for children, additional adults, or any combination the group requires. Contact MG Vacation Rentals to confirm specific bed sizes and bathroom access arrangements before booking.
Open-Plan Living on the Main Floor
The kitchen, dining area, and living room at Incline Lakeside Haven form one connected open-plan space on the main floor with the private garden and deck visible through large picture windows from every position in the room.
- Kitchen: Fully equipped for group cooking with all major appliances, cookware, utensils, and dishware. The open layout means the cook is always in visual contact with the dining area and never isolated from the group during meal preparation.
- Dining area: Seats the full group of 8. Positioned at the natural junction between kitchen and living room, with the garden light coming through the picture windows from the outside. The daily convergence point from morning coffee through dinner.
- Living room: Large picture windows and modern furnishings. The garden greenery and natural light are visible from every seating position. The room works as well for a group spending a rainy Incline Village day inside as it does as a 20-minute morning stop before the lake walk.
- Free WiFi and no AC: Fast internet throughout the home. No air conditioning; the Mt Watson Court elevation and the garden shade manage summer interior temperatures across most of the season.
The Garden, Hot Tub, and Outdoor Areas
The outdoor areas at Incline Lakeside Haven are what separate it from comparable 4-bedroom homes in Incline Village. The private garden gives the group a genuine outdoor living zone that most North Shore rentals cannot offer from a residential address this close to the lake.
Private Garden
Spacious, surrounded by mature greenery, and screened from neighboring properties. Space for children to move freely, adults to set up chairs independently, and the whole group to occupy the outdoor area at the same time without crowding.
Hot tub
Year-round, set within the private garden. Used after beach days in summer and after ski days at Diamond Peak in winter. The garden setting gives it the seclusion that a deck-mounted tub does not have.
BBQ grill
Gas-operated, fully permitted under Washoe County STR regulations. The outdoor dinner option for any clear evening throughout the stay.
Deck with outdoor furniture
Morning coffee and afternoon reading space. Note that outdoor furniture may not be available during heavy winter snow months; confirm seasonal availability with MG Vacation Rentals if this matters for your specific travel dates.
Four parking spaces
All on-site, no overflow. The full group's vehicles, ski equipment, and bikes stay on the property for the duration of the stay.

Granite boulders, clear shallow water, a sandy beach, and a summer outdoor theatre Programme. According to parks.nv.gov, the park operates year-round. Arrive before 10 AM on summer weekends to secure parking before the lot fills. The 10-minute proximity makes a morning trip and back for lunch straightforward from Mt Watson Court.
Lakeshore Boulevard Walk and Cycle
One minute by car, Lakeshore Boulevard provides the most accessible flat lake-view walking and cycling route in Incline Village. For families at Incline Lakeside Haven who want morning activity without a car, the boulevard is the standard first morning routine. The lake-level perspective from the boulevard and the garden-level view from the property are complementary rather than duplicating each other.
Incline Village Championship Golf Course
A short drive from Mt Watson Court, the Championship Course is one of two Robert Trent Jones Jr. layouts in Incline Village. Mountain terrain and North Shore views operate seasonally. It is a natural addition to spring or autumn stays when the ski season has not started or has already finished.

Getting to Incline Lakeside Haven
Manager's Note
Mt Watson Court is in the lower village, closer to the lake than most other MG Incline Village properties. Arriving from Reno on NV-431: turn onto NV-28 (Lakeshore Boulevard) east and watch for Mt Watson Court on the uphill side of the road. In winter the lower village elevation produces icy conditions earlier in the evening than the upper streets. Four-wheel drive is recommended for November through March. The 10-minute lake walk means some guests skip the car entirely for morning visits before summer beach parking becomes competitive.
