This Airbnb in Nevada Feels Like a Scandinavian Escape

Flying overseas is a huge expense for many, but when you want to feel as though you've left the U.S., there are options. In fact, numerous Airbnbs around the country have the look and feel of a foreign destination, including one near Lake Tahoe. The Serene Grand Mountain Chalet, as it is called, is an Airbnb that looks like a Scandinavian escape, and for those who have dreamed of a getaway to Denmark, Sweden, and/or Norway, here's your chance to have that experience without the cost of an overseas vacation.

The Best Features of This Nevada Airbnb

The Serene Grand Mountain Chalet is a 9,000-square-foot Scandinavian-style chalet set on 11 secluded wooded acres. For large groups of friends or a family reunion seeking an escape to Stateline, Nevada, it's a dream come true. While nestled among the trees, guests can take in exceptional views of the cobalt-colored waters of Lake Tahoe from the deck or one of the chalet's many balconies.

The home's nine bedrooms, 20 beds, and nine bathrooms accommodate over 16 guests, and with the wood-paneled walls, ceilings, and other wood details, it almost feels like a ski chalet in Norway or Sweden. A spacious kitchen awaits family-style meals and opens into a large yet cozy living and dining room with a stone fireplace. There is also a washer and dryer for convenience, as well as a dedicated workspace for anyone working remotely. 

While these are all wonderful amenities, the home also has several standout features that enhance a stay here. For some friendly fun with your fellow guests, head to the game room to play pool, air hockey, or foosball, have a drink at the bar, or catch a ball game on TV. For those musically inclined, a piano overlooks the great room, the perfect spot to entertain friends and family. The best features, however, are outside. A private eight-person hot tub on the deck overlooks the trees as well as Lake Tahoe, and a cedar sauna will entice you to take some time for yourself and practice some self-care. These are the ultimate features of the home, creating a hygge experience that’s popular in Scandinavian countries.

Numerous accolades were given to the host Josh, who guests found was “super helpful,” “friendly,” and even the “best part about the experience.” So, whether you come here for the winter ski season or to spend time out on Lake Tahoe, the Serene Grand Mountain Chalet is a private and spacious Scandinavian escape with views and exceptional amenities including a game room, hot tub, and sauna.

Nearby Attractions to Explore While Staying Here

Staying at this Scandinavian-style home puts you close to Lake Tahoe, and there are plenty of things to do around the lake and Stateline.
