Villa Ryza is a breathtaking waterfront home that offers panoramic vistas across the waters of Lake Tahoe. Its location only a short drive from several ski resorts which makes this California vacation rental accessible to both the water and the mountain. Situated on a one and a half acres of beautiful lush landscape the home offers 300 feet of lakefront, 2 buoys, and a private 140 foot pier. Meeks Bay Marina, Tahoma and Emerald Bay State Park are only 10 minutes away (or less) by car. Avid skiers and boarders will appreciate the 10-minute drive to Homewood Mountain.

The interiors of this retreat show what a luxury mountain retreat can be. Formal living and dining rooms make a refined setting for apres-ski cocktails, while a more casual great room with sitting and dining areas and a fully equipped kitchen is ideal for prepping snacks or chatting by the fireplace. In the main house, you will find the master suite – an expansive, honeymoon-worthy retreat with a California king bed, jetted tub, fireplace and a private balcony with its own hot tub overlooking the lake. A second master suite with California king bed and balcony facing the water is nearly its equal in luxe. There are three more bedrooms with queen beds. In the first guest house, you’ll find a bedroom with a queen-size bed, a fully equipped kitchen and living space. In the second guest house, there are two more queen bedrooms, another full kitchen and a living space. Both guest houses are attached to the main house, so if the weather gets too cold, you’ll never have to go outside. The property offers a total of 8 bedrooms which make it perfect for 16 guests.

In warmer weather, take advantage of the waterfront setting by setting out from the dock, reading on the deck, soaking in one of the four hot tubs, and lingering in the evenings by the barbecue, al-fresco dining area and heat lamps.
