** READ: The Little Dipper sits in front of another larger home aptly named the Big Dipper. Each has it's own parking, private entrances and each have their own private decks.

* Note about Sharing:
The two homes share: the hot tub, kayaks and SUP's. It does not make sense to put two hot tubs on one property when… sharing is easily done, hot tubs are used for such a short amount of time and then you are ready to get out, they are a sizeable resource and sit vacant a majority of the time. Hotels with hundreds of rooms typically only have one shared hot tub, and typically available when you want.... Even easier sharing with one home.

Located in the coveted and safe Speedboat neighborhood, this charming 350 sq foot cabin is within walking distance to the sand and water. Lounge on the shoreline at Speedboat beach and enjoy the sun and solitude. Watch the sunset, then head back home for a soothing soak in the hot tub. If you're in the mood to get out and about, make the 1/8-mile trip to Crystal Bay Casino for a little adult gaming or a live musical act and drinks. Many FREE shows too!

Kings Beach is a mile to the west, where you'll find dining and grocery shopping, and Incline Village is under five miles to the east with more shopping and dining opportunities, as well as galleries and local artisan goods. NorthStar California Resort is nine miles west and Diamond Peak and Diamond Peak and Mt. Rose lie to the east, seven and 14 miles, respectively. You'll find other winter activity options at Alpine Meadows, Squaw Valley, Homewood, and Sugar Bowl ski areas.
