Sprawling across one acre and set amongst mature pines and spruce trees, The Duck House vacation rental blends into the thoughtful landscaping in manner that showcases the natural environment. Here, you get the best of both worlds. The Duck House sits on a serene and private cul-de-sac where the air seems crisper, the sky appears bluer and you can actually hear the birds chipping. It is quintessential Tahoe. Sitting on the back patio surrounded by healthy perennially bushes, lush lawn, colorful stone pavers and glorious sunshine, this is the ideal location for uninterrupted relaxation. But, when activity and entertainment are on the schedule, then look no further. The Duck House boasts amenities that are seldom, if ever, found together in one vacation home: a gated swimming pool with a water slide*, music system, natural gas barbecue and lounging area; a private, nine-seat theater with leather lounge chairs and Dolby Atmos surround sound system; a billiards room with television; a hot tub for eight; and, a fire pit for perfecting the ideal s'more.

Technology and state-of-the-art updates were key considerations when The Duck House was remodeled. The driveway and back patio are heated automatically using an underground hydronic heating system. Every room has its own television and all televisions use high speed connections for streaming television or music. The home is controlled by a Savant whole home entertainment system that manages music throughout the property. For guests with electric vehicles, there is a 220V plug installed in the garage to accommodate electric vehicle chargers.

Inside, comfort was on the forefront of the owner's mind when selecting everything from linens, down comforters and pillows to the towels and furnishings. The bright living room has seating for 10 guests in large, cozy couches. The spacious family room has a wood-burning fireplace with a sitting area, wet bar and a four-seat game table. The dining table is custom crafted. The den / library offers even more options for lounging and conversing. The spacious kitchen is outfitted with every appliance a chef would desire to construct and serve an incredible family meal. Finally, The Duck House offers the unique feature of a whole house generator system that switches on when the power goes out and air conditioning throughout the entire home, which is rarely provided in Lake Tahoe.

The Duck House is a one-of-kind home that offers families every possible amenity one could wish for in a truly luxury vacation.

Beautiful Property: Winter Skiing Trip This property is a great place for a large group of friends to stay while skiing around Lake Tahoe. The home is so well stocked and has everything you can think of. Thank you for letting us stay in your home!

True to Listing Does not disappoint! Exactly as described and better. Fully equipped. Great hosts. The home is high quality compared to most rentals. Great layout and very clean. Nothing but good things to say. Would stay again for sure. Group of 10 stayed comfortably. BTW, Tahoe is wonderful in the Fall.

Fantastic Luxury House This house is perfect for a large group. It is furnished with mostly Restoration Hardware furniture in a tasteful manner. The beds are very comfortable with nice bedding. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you may need. The pool table is a great plus as is the very nice movie theater. There are two wine refrigerators if you are a wine connoisseur! We didn’t use the spa but it was large and clean. We were a group of 14 and had a great time in this place. Hope to visit again.

Paradise at Incline Lake Tahoe The Duck House was a perfect place to gather for a family reunion. There was something for everyone ...a beautiful home with many amenities. Hours of fun time at the pool and slide. More hours at the Billiard Room, and of course the Theater was a Big Hit. The Landscaping was beautiful around the home and you could tell the owners take pride in that. Thanks for the Bit of Paradise!! The Nevin Family

Amazing place for big group We were having a multi-generational family trip and this was the perfect property! So many places for small group conversations or games, but plenty of room for us all to eat together. Theater and pool table were in use every minute. There is a downstairs bed and bath for the seniors so they could avoid the stairs, and one cozy “den” with couches, fireplace and Tv that also has a door when the rest of the group gets too noisy. We had 16 people and everyone loved the house. Nice neighborhood for a walk in the snow. We were all wishing we’d get snowed in for a few more days. This place is a 10/10. Don’t hesitate to rent it. We can’t wait to come back and do it again in the summer.

Amazing Home We had a large multi-generational group and everyone loved the house. There was plenty of room to all be together at the dinner table, but we could also all spread out and have time in small groups to watch movies, play pool, play games, read, sit in the hot tub, or be alone in our comfy rooms. We loved that there was a full bedroom and bath on the first floor for our senior family members. We hadn't even noticed the view of the lake in any of the photos, so those sunsets were an added bonus. The Tahoe Luxury Property contacts were very helpful with everything we needed. We can't wait to rent it again in the summer and have use of the pool! 10/10 vacation spot!

Love The Duck House We love The Duck House! Thanks for inviting us into this lovely home. Shortly after we checked in, the handyman crew arrived at 4pm to service the trash compactor. Everyone was friendly and respectful, so it was not a problem at all. Our kids enjoyed sledding in the backyard all day. And the theater room has been perfect for watching football and “play performances“ from our kids. We were sad to leave tomorrow, but look forward to our next visit!

Duck House - Family Home Away From Home My large family and I stayed at The Duck House, and we have never been so impressed with a home! Not only is it gorgeous, but every detail was thought out. The layout was perfect for our large family, tons of living spaces that we enjoyed, especially the game room! The kitchen was full of cooking utensils, and the table actually sat our entire group! It was a perfect home to stay in, and genuinely felt like it was home. The beds were all comfortable, the sheets and blankets were soft and clean, and the towels were fresh and fluffy. It was the little things that made this feel so luxurious. We had a wonderful time and were already talking about booking it again for next year! Not to mention Jennifer being there for us the entire time, checking in for any questions we had. We loved our stay. Could not recommend it more.

A Wonderful Tahoe Family Getaway The Duck House is a gorgeous home with beautiful furnishings and many amenities. The large lot is beautifully landscaped with many blooming flowering plants adding to our enjoyment. Our family of 8 adults and 7 children found the home spacious and comfortable with bedrooms for all. The bedrooms are big and beds comfortable. The home theater and swimming pool with slide were a big hit with the kids. The home is impeccable but the pool could use the some attention. It does appear aged and worn and could use new plaster. Also there were no instructions as to how to operate the pool slide requiring us to call and get instructions from Tahoe Luxury Properties. Instructions for the slide should be on site. Tahoe Luxury Properties is far and away the most professional of all the property management companies in the Tahoe area. Their customer service is top notch and they responded quickly to any concerns, needs or questions we had during our stay. The Duck House is a 5 star experience offering many amenities and comfort not found in many rental homes. We will definitely return to The Duck House for any future trips to Lake Tahoe.

The most amazing experience This was the most amazing property. The house was just as beautiful as the pictures and TLUXP was absolutely amazing to work with. There was so much space for large groups and our family had the best time. The house comes with everything you need, we'll definitely be back.

Duck House My family and I stayed here for my wedding. The location was great, as we got married on Sand Harbor beach. First, the initial post is very misleading as it does NOT hold 18 people, unless a certain number are kids. We had 16 adults and they would not allow us all to stay, therefore one couple had to stay at a hotel which was fine (even though we had two full bedrooms open), but still misleading. Several rooms had a lot of flies in them, quite a few remotes did not work for fire places / tvs, loose shower faucet, and the sound system kept going in and out. They kindly opened the pool for us, but the bottom was very nasty so no one really wanted to get in. There were also not enough towels and wash cloths for the amount of rooms the house had. We had to wash them everyday. The hot tub was great, the rooms were neat, they kindly let us check in early / out late, and there were plenty of wonderful spaces to hangout. All this to say, there were room for improvements, but we had a good experience and loved our time in Tahoe. Manager Response:
