About this property

Ahwahnee Hotel Inspired Design in Homewood

Kamp Knobcone was built by a master builder as his family's West Shore Tahoe retreat. It is in the perfect West Shore location 6 minutes from Homewood Mountain Resort and a short walk to Chambers Landing Beach. High speed Suddenlink WIFI and a full cable channel lineup is available on the Bose Surround Sound Entertainment system. Enjoy music from around the world on the Yamaha MusicCast stereo. Relax in the Swedish dry sauna after snowboarding or hiking!
Luxuriate in the home's fine attention to detail. The hand-crafted details bring you back to an age where life was slower, focused on leisure time with family and friends in sumptuous surroundings.
Celebrate life with family at the massive single slab mahogany dining table adjacent to the well equipped chef's gourmet kitchen with a forty-eight inch commercial range, two sinks, and sharp knives.
When it's time to turn in, you'll find the bedrooms richly appointed with high-end mattresses, top quality linens, and comforters. The linens are professionally laundered by J D Linens.
The top floor contains a reading loft and two master bedrooms with ensuite baths, each with original oil paintings. On the lower level there is a well equipped exercise/entertainment room, two bathrooms, and two bedrooms with three beds each.The third master bedroom is in a private detached studio with soaking tub, separate shower, fireplace, and kitchen. An original oil replica of Bougereau's controversial painting "The Nymphaeum" 1873 is featured above the fireplace in the luxurious bathroom and a full size copy of Albert Bierstadt's "Moose" 1880 is above the mantel in the studio. The originals of each painting are hung in the Haggin Museum in Stockton, California.

Beautiful property
Lovely, nicely furnished, very comfortable beds, and a nicely stocked kitchen. Very nice and cozy apartment above the garage. Hosts were always available for questions and help. Only issue was the phone system, needed to travel a bit to get reception. We loved our stay, and would highly recommend!

Fun family Christmas stay
Overall the house provided everything we needed for our 3 generation Christmas. Everyone had a comfortable bed and the house was large enough for 9 people to not be on top of one another. Check in and out was easy. The kids loved playing in the snow, building snowman and forts. Location was good to snow activities and not too far from town to get supplies. House was well appointed with bedding, towels, kitchenware, washer/dryer. Multiple crock pots were great! Drawbacks: needed the binder to provide more information than how to use the tv’s. I am used to helpful hints on appliances and local restaurant and activity recommendations. The house is super dark, lighting was an issue when wanting to play games or for putting on makeup. The electronics are out of date (unable to connect to streaming services for Christmas movies was a bummer). Inclined driveway was dangerous with ice (car slid down). No shampoo! Had to rewash towels as they had a soiled smell. Struggled with ovens (left one doesn’t work as well as right). Nest thermostat kept losing power which was disconcerting. We made it work and nothing took away from having a good time.

Fantastic home
The home was very clean and very accommodating for an extended family of all ages. Had a great kitchen for several cooks (Which our family has a lot of). Very clean when we arrived. It’s the perfect getaway for any busy person.

Little Ahwahnee
We could not have been happier with our stay at The Little Ahwahnee! It exceeded our expectations and we are already hoping for a return visit to this beautiful property! It was clean, well appointed, beautifully decorated and spacious. The kitchen included everything needed and the master suites were lovely. The downstairs was the perfect spot for movies and would be great for younger adults to hang out. It is located within walking distance to Chambers, which was nice. We could not have had a better stay. Thank you for sharing this lovely home with us!

Great for big family stay or multiple families
Owners were very available and helpful. Beautiful construction and detail in the home. If you like to cook you’ll be in heaven. Excellent location for beaches, bike trails and hiking.

About the host

Hosted by Maclyn Morris

Host profile image
Kamp Knobcone was designed on a placemat while having breakfast in the grand Ahwahnee dining room. I have been a builder of fine art homes all of my life and built this home for my family retreat. We love to snowboard, hike, bicycle ride, and we created a kitchen where we all can cook together. The kitchen and Great Room with its massive fireplace are the entire main level of the home. It is where our four generation family spends time together. The heating is very comfortable in-floor hydronic.









Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. After working on Fluer de Lac in Tahoe Pines over several years, Maclyn fell in love with Lake Tahoe's West Shore and set out to find a quiet neighborhood to build his own West Shore home for his family. Kamp Knobcone backs up to trailheads into Desolation Wilderness and is a short walk to Lake Tahoe

What makes this property unique

There's really no place like Kamp Knobcone, especially when it combines all the modern amenities with timeless elegance and exquisite craftmanship. The architecture soars and the professionally furnished interior with huge original oil paintings dazzle and entice the senses!
Want to skip cooking after a hard day of skiing or hiking? Top rated restaurants in Homewood include the lake view West Shore Cafe and the iconic Swiss Lakewood and on the way to Tahoe City is Sunnyside with big lake views and patio dining in the summer. In Tahoe City are fine dining at Wolfdale's Cuisine Unique, Christy Hill, and Le Petit Pier.
