Fleur du Lac #1 - Lakefront
Homewood
Dive into a rich array of Old Tahoe history! Fleur du Lac Estates, ("flower of the lake"), is a stunning, 15-acre, gated lakefront community on Lake Tahoe's glorious west shore, and the former summer estate of Industrialist Henry J. Kaiser. Impressively, in 1938 Kaiser led 300 men in building his estate in 30 days so he could host a party to celebrate the completion of the Hoover Dam. The architectural design featured what is known as the “Tahoe Vernacular” and This style is characterized by a rustic exterior, with stonework, heavy timbers, and ornamental ironwork. Features of this design still permeate the historic property, and to this day the interiors of the 22 homes on the estate still boast knotty pine, rock and comfortable, lodge-style furnishings of the Old Tahoe era.
For those who enjoy more glitzy Hollywood connections, The Godfather: Part II was filmed at Fleur du Lac in 1973, and presented an accurate view of both the exterior and interiors of the time. Now, 50 years later, the luxury compound offers an abundance of additional amenities not available at any single lakefront home: swimming pool / hot tub, tennis courts, bocce ball courts, fitness area, boat slip, Yacht Club with a commercial kitchen and dining area and a Clubhouse with a pool table, shuffleboard and game tables. With sprawling colorful gardens, lush lawns and the most beautiful blue views silhouetted by majestic mountains, the setting is arguably the most breathtaking one can experience at Tahoe.
It is no coincidence that your vacation rental home at Fleur du Lac is Unit #1, for it is truly the best home offered for 30 night rentals in the complex. As an end unit, you have unobstructed, panoramic lakeviews, a stone patio practically sitting on top of the water when lake levels benefit from plentiful snowfall, and wonderful serenity amongst the cool breezes rustling between the trees. Inside, a large great room, with floor to ceiling windows, brings the beauty of Lake Tahoe to your living space. A wet bar, wood burning fireplace and dining area create an atmosphere for entertainment. The kitchen, tuck away in an adjacent area, is outfitted with everything a chef desires for such entertaining. Each bedroom is en suite and provides luxury linens and pillows to ensure a restful night. Lastly, the office space at the entry has a cozy fireplace and table for those days in which you need to attend to some pressing work matters. The owner desired to keep her home true to it's original orgins with its interior design; she genuinely hopes that you will relish the history of the area in which you are staying as much as others have from decades prior.
This home is only available for stays of 30 nights or longer. Please inquire about monthly and seasonal leases.
