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.
Getting to Lakeside Luxe Retreat
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
Lakeside Luxe Retreat at 144 Chipmunk St is one of the most technically specified townhomes in the entire MG portfolio. The Sonos system, the 65-inch surround sound TVs, the Nest climate setup, and the designer renovation require hands-on management to maintain at this level. 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.
