Quick Overview of Lakeside Luxe Retreat
What Makes Lakeside Luxe Retreat Stand Out
Sonos, 65-Inch TVs, and Nest Throughout
This is not a refreshed rental. Every room has Sonos audio. Multiple 65-inch Smart TVs have immersive surround sound setups. A Nest climate system manages the first-floor temperature automatically. Guests arriving from upscale hotels will find the interior specification matches or exceeds what they expect. The renovation was designed for luxury seekers, not the average vacation rental guest.
Pier and Dock Swimming One Minute Away
The private community at 144 Chipmunk St puts the Lake Tahoe waterfront one minute on foot from the front door. The pier provides direct lake access. The dock allows guests to swim off the edge. This combination of walkable waterfront, pier access, and dock swimming is uncommon at the 1,688 sq ft townhome scale in Kings Beach. Most comparable properties offer a walk to a public beach, not a private pier.
Kings Beach SRA Is a 10-Minute Walk
The largest public beach on the North Shore is a 10-minute walk from Chipmunk St. No car, no parking queue, no scheduling constraint beyond arriving before the summer Saturday crowd. Water toy and bike rentals operate from the beach in summer. Sled and snow toy rentals are nearby in winter. The walkability from this townhome to the Kings Beach State Recreation Area is one of the strongest practical advantages in the MG Kings Beach portfolio.
Two Decks Serving Two Different Purposes
The upper deck has a high-top table positioned for the full lake panorama: the evening gathering point for the group. The primary suite deck has Adirondack chairs facing the water: the quiet morning space before the rest of the group is up. One deck handling both functions would do neither well. Two decks at Lakeside Luxe Retreat handle each with the right furniture, the right orientation, and the right scale.
Three Bedrooms, Three Private Bathrooms
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 Suite: Lake-Facing Deck Included
The primary bedroom at Lakeside Luxe Retreat has its own private deck with Adirondack chairs facing the water, an ensuite bathroom, and all-new luxe beds and bedding from the designer renovation. The suite functions as a self-contained retreat, private outdoor space, private bathroom, and premium bedding without sharing any of it with the rest of the group.
Bedroom 2: Ensuite Privacy for a Second Couple
The second bedroom has its own private ensuite bathroom and all-new designer bedding. For two couples travelling together, both bedrooms offer ensuite access without compromise. No shared bathroom rotation, no scheduling the morning around who goes first. Contact MG Vacation Rentals to confirm the specific bed size before booking.
Bedroom 3: Third Ensuite with Flexible Configuration
The third bedroom provides additional sleeping capacity with its own ensuite bathroom for a total of three private bathrooms across three bedrooms. For a group of six staying at Lakeside Luxe Retreat, every guest has private bathroom access throughout the stay. Contact MG Vacation Rentals to confirm bed size and configuration before finalizing.
The Living Room, Kitchen, and Interior
The contemporary main living floor at Lakeside Luxe Retreat connects kitchen, dining area, and living room with the lake-view balcony as the natural endpoint of the open plan.
- Living room: Fireplace, 65-inch Smart TV with surround sound, Sonos audio, and a balcony with lake views. The most technically specified living room in the MG Kings Beach portfolio. The fireplace and the lake view work together in a way that most Kings Beach rentals do not offer.
- Kitchen: Fully equipped with all appliances, cookware, and utensils. The open-plan connection to the dining and living areas means the cook is never cut off from the group’s conversation.
- Sonos system: Every bedroom and every living space. Seamless audio from arrival to checkout. No Bluetooth pairing required. No app setup on the evening.
- Nest heating and AC: First floor only. The second floor does not have air conditioning. If your group runs warm and is arriving in July or August, bring a personal fan for the upper-floor bedrooms.
- Free WiFi and washer and dryer: Both are confirmed throughout the property.
Outdoor Spaces at Lakeside Luxe Retreat
The outdoor experience here runs across three positions: the upper deck, the primary suite deck, and the waterfront one minute away.

Upper Deck
High-top table facing the full North Shore lake panorama. The group's evening gathering point. Best position in the property at approximately 6:30 PM when the late North Shore light hits the lake directly.

Primary suite deck
Adirondack chairs, water-facing, private to the primary bedroom occupants. The morning quiet space before the upper deck fills with group activity.

Pier and dock
Direct Lake access and dock swimming. The specific water experience that walkable-to-beach properties seldom include. Available to guests throughout the stay.

Agate Bay
1-minute walk from the front door. A calm, sheltered bay adjacent to the private community and quieter than the main Kings Beach area.

Outdoor furniture
May be unavailable during heavy winter snow months. Confirm seasonal availability with MG Vacation Rentals if timing matters for your booking.
Note: Placer County STR regulations prohibit all outdoor fires, fire pits, and charcoal grills. Fines start at $5,000. The indoor fireplace is the only permitted fire option.

Things to Do Near Lakeside Luxe Retreat
Kings Beach State Recreation Area
A 10-minute walk from 144 Chipmunk St, the Kings Beach State Recreation Area is the most accessible public beach on the North Shore. Sandy shoreline, lake swimming, picnic facilities, and paddleboard and kayak rentals in summer. According to California State Parks, the area operates year-round. The lot fills by mid-morning on summer weekends, making the walkable access from Chipmunk St a practical advantage.
North Shore Parasail and Water Activities
Sixteen minutes on foot from the property, North Shore Parasail offers parasailing, jet ski rentals, and guided lake activities in summer. No car or rideshare is needed from this address for a full morning on the water before returning to the lake-view decks. Water activity in the morning and the upper deck panorama in the evening are the natural Lakeside Luxe Retreat summer days.
Old Brockway Golf Course
Three minutes by car, Old Brockway is a historic 9-hole course with Lake Tahoe views from several holes. It operates seasonally and is a natural pairing with an afternoon swim off the pier or an evening on the upper deck. For groups that include golfers alongside beach and water guests, the Brockway position of this townhome makes same-day golf and lake swimming achievable without planning strain.
Dining and Grocery Near Lakeside Luxe Retreat
The Grid Bar and Grill
10-min walk. The Kings Beach evening dining anchor, close enough that no planning is required for a spontaneous group dinner.
Bear Belly Brewing Company
12-min walk. Craft beer and food in Kings Beach. The walkable post-beach or post-ski evening option that groups use repeatedly across a multi-night stay.
Lanza's Restaurant
3-min drive. One of the most established restaurants on the North Shore. Worth a reservation for the group's signature dinner mid-stay.
Whitecaps Pizza
17-min walk. The Kings Beach pizza staple for the evening nobody wants to plan around.
Safeway Kings Beach
Short drive. 24-hour grocery for arrival-day stocking. With a Sonos-equipped kitchen and open-plan dining, Lakeside Luxe Retreat supports quality self-catered evenings at any stay length.

Manager's Note
The Nest system manages the first-floor temperature automatically. Set it on arrival and leave it. The second floor has no AC; bring a personal fan for July and August arrivals if your group runs warm. The upper deck high-top table is the best seat in the house at approximately 6:30 PM when the late North Shore light hits the lake directly. Plan to be on it.

Skip the Platform. Book the Property Directly

When something is wrong with the second-floor temperature, the pier access, or the Sonos app connection, the person who fixes it is Murat’s local Kings Beach team, not a platform support ticket.

What Guests Are Saying About Lakeside Luxe Retreat
EXCELLENT Based on 130 reviews Posted on Alexis CostaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We unfortunately had to cancel our Airbnb with Murat and were set to receive only a partial refund but he graciously fully refunded us and got back to us in such a timely manner. So nice to do business with him, would highly recommend!Posted on BeUnique Fitness Fitness with FaridaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was by far the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. The home was equipped with absolutely everything you could possibly need, it felt like visiting my mom’s house, where every detail is thoughtfully taken care of. The space was spotless, beautifully organized, and filled with small touches that made it feel extra welcoming and comfortable. You can tell a lot of care and love went into setting up this place. I would 100% stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a truly stress-free and cozy stay.Posted on Aileen AyoubTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We spent the weekend at this amazing property. We fell in love with the spacious yet cozy home. The property owner’s attention to detail was evident. Our 8 year old and, surprisingly, our teenager were both sad to leave. Close to the beach and plenty of activities. We would love to visit again. Absolutely recommend!!!!Posted on Kishore MurariTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have rented Murat's home in Lake Tahoe. From the Get go, Murat's communication has been very professional, quick, informative and polite. I have requested for super early checkin and Murat graciously accepted my request. This truly saved sooo much time for our group of three families and made it soo much more wonderful trip to Lake Tahoe. I immensely appreciate Murat for this kind gesture which is very rare in this business. Thank you soo much Murat !!Posted on Alex NTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We headed up to Tahoe for a boys golf trip and this place did not disappoint! It was extremely easy to navigate to off the main road but still felt secluded up in the pines. I had no idea but what a great location too. Very walkable to a handful of places (casino/bars) or a very short drive to everything you need. Moon Dune Beach was close and felt private and whitecaps pizza spicy Hawaiian… we got it 3x! The place was quaint and felt like a true mountain cabin but with plenty of space for everyone with a great common area to relax and unwind. Multiple patio areas made it great to enjoy the great summer mountain weather. Mgs place had everything we needed and the bathrooms were super clean and fresh almost like staying in a hotel. Furthermore, the garage space came in clutch! You can easily fit two small cars in there and a great space to keep golf bags/beach stuff! All of this came at a pretty killer rate considering the location. Would def recommend!Posted on HenryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful home that is exactly how it is in person as the pictures show and summary sum it up. The host is very helpful and quick to respond. The house is super cozy and clean as can be. Hot tub is frequently kept up to par. Even the porch got washed. Highly recommend the host and home.Posted on Nicholas HaanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We would like to express our sincere gratitude for MG Vacation Rentals understanding and flexibility when we had to cancel our reservation. They were very personable, responsive, and generous in their response to our situation. We very much look forward to being able to stay with them in the future.Posted on lou ANN DavenportTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very responsive and great view of Lake Tahoe.Posted on Mary Tanagho RossTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family had a spectacular time at this beautiful home in Incline Village! It was in a perfect location, in a peaceful neighborhood, moments to the best beaches in north Lake Tahoe. The host was incredibly helpful with any questions we had. The house was well equipped to cook and eat meals while overlooking the lake view. It was a 10/10 and we hope to be back to this home soon! Our kids loved it! Wholeheartedly recommend!Posted on Pam PowerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I spent a week at this property with my family last week & I have to say it was one of the best vacations ever! The house was amazing! The decor so cozy. Loved that each bedroom had its own en suite. The views were amazing. There’s a porch that you could sit out on day & night! It was very clean and had everything we needed! Kitchen was modern & the hot tub & sauna were an extra bonus, plenty of linens too! It’s so peaceful & perfect in every way. Hope to go back soon!!!
