Mammoth Haven RetreatTahoe City, CA vacation rental · sleeps 9

Bedrooms 1, 2, and 3 - Main Floor

All three ground-floor bedrooms are on the same level as the kitchen and living room. The most accessible sleeping configuration for elderly guests or anyone who needs to avoid stairs. Each room is steps from the main bathroom on this level. Contact MG Vacation Rentals to confirm specific bed sizes.

Bedroom 4 - Upper Floor

The fourth bedroom is upstairs and works well for younger guests or anyone comfortable with stairs. It provides a degree of separation from the main floor activity, making it a quieter sleeping option for the group member who wants a bit more privacy during the stay.

The 3,000 sq ft at Mammoth Haven Retreat is distributed across a main-floor open living area, a gourmet kitchen with a dining table for 10, a pool table, and the bedrooms, enough space for 9 guests to be in genuinely different areas of the home simultaneously without feeling the group’s presence in every room.

• Gourmet kitchen: Stainless steel appliances, French-door refrigerator, granite counters, dining table seats 10. The kitchen is the property’s functional anchor for groups who cook together as part of the vacation experience
• Wood-burning fireplace: The main living room anchor for winter evenings. Firewood is NOT provided at this property; guests must bring their own or source it locally before arrival. This is a confirmed listing note and a critical pre-arrival task for ski-season groups
• Pool table: Confirmed in Vrbo highlights and multiple guest reviews; used consistently across stays according to review feedback
• 65-inch Smart TV + Sonos: The entertainment layer throughout, TV for group movie nights, Sonos system for background audio from kitchen through living areas
• Boot and glove dryer: A ski-season-specific amenity confirming the property’s orientation toward winter use, one of the very few properties in the MG portfolio with this feature
• Free WiFi and washer/dryer: Both confirmed; high-speed internet throughout

The outdoor footprint at Mammoth Haven Retreat extends across the hot tub, the furnished deck with lake views, the BBQ gas grill, and a large lawn area. The combination of lake views from the deck and the hot tub gives the outdoor space the same quality positioning as the kitchen and entertainment spaces inside.

Large Lawn: The outdoor space for children, group activities, and the relaxed summer lawn setup that makes a 3,000 sq ft property feel even larger

Heated Walkway: Driveway to front door, the winter comfort amenity that guest reviews specifically mention during snow events

No outdoor fires beyond BBQ and fireplace: Placer County regulations apply; confirm with MG Vacation Rentals before arrival

Hot tub: the primary outdoor feature and the gathering point for group after-activity recovery regardless of season

Spacious Deck: Furnished with a table and chair set, beautiful lake views, outdoor dining and relaxing in warmer months. Outdoor furniture is removed in the winter months due to heavy snow; the deck structure remains but is not furnished

Gas Grill: Outdoor cooking in summer and shoulder seasons

Mammoth Haven Retreat is located in Dollar Point, one of Tahoe City’s most premium neighbourhoods, and it comes with specific rules that guests need to know before arrival. Murat has managed this property for years and makes sure every direct booking guest is fully briefed before check-in day.

Hot Tub on the Deck

Vrbo flags the hot tub as the property's number one feature with the note: "Relax in the hot tub, celebrated for ultimate comfort." After ski days, hikes, or lake afternoons, all 9 guests consistently end up in the same place outside. The pool table completes the entertainment setup indoors.

A Gourmet Kitchen Built for Ten

Stainless steel appliances, a French-door refrigerator, granite countertops, and a dining table that seats all 10 guests without supplementary seating. Guest reviews describe it as a "giant kitchen" and "perfect for large families." For multi-generational groups where shared meals matter, this kitchen removes every compromise that under-scaled rental kitchens typically create.

Three Main Floor Bedrooms for All Ages

Three of the four bedrooms are on the main floor and one is upstairs. One guest review specifically noted this works well for elderly guests or anyone avoiding stairs. For multi-generational families, this floor plan solves a problem most large rentals do not address.

Pool Table, Sonos, and 65-Inch TV

Vrbo highlights the pool table as rare: "One of the few properties with an onsite pool table." Add the Sonos sound system throughout, and a 65-inch Smart TV, and the group has a full indoor entertainment setup for evenings when the weather or schedule keeps everyone inside.

Getting to Mammoth Haven Retreat

Manager's Note

Firewood for the wood-burning fireplace is NOT provided, arrange sourcing or bring wood before arrival. The Dollar Point HOA private beach, pool, and tennis are off-limits for short-term rental guests; Skylandia Park (19-min walk) and Lake Forest Beach (5-min drive) are the public alternatives. The heated walkway from the driveway is one of the features guests appreciate most in a snow event; it was specifically called out after a major multi-day snowstorm in a guest review. The boot and glove dryer near the entry is standard use throughout the ski season.

Arrival and Departure Times

Check-in at 4:00 PM, check-out at 10:00 AM. An e-signed rental agreement is required before check-in access is granted. The contract must be signed within 48 hours of booking to protect the property from guest damage.

Dollar Point HOA Beach Access

Short-term renters do not have access to the Dollar Point private beach, pool, or tennis courts. This is an HOA restriction and is not negotiable. Skylandia Park, Lake Forest Beach, and Commons Beach are the publicly accessible alternatives nearby.

Firewood Is Not Provided

The wood-burning fireplace requires firewood, which is not provided at this property. Guests must bring firewood or purchase it locally before arrival. Plan for this before the drive up to avoid arriving without it on a cold evening.
