A One-of-a-Kind Experience — Available for Your Next Home Swap Vacation

Situated on 8 acres of private and secluded forested property in California Gold Country, the owners of the Lotus Lake House say they’ve cleared just enough trees to have fabulous views of Rollins Lake.   Speaking of the lake, this home boasts a lake view on three sides.  The massive deck wraps around the house and features several dining areas, a new Weber BBQ gas grill, and rockers and loungers.   The home’s glass walls open up to the deck, transforming it into one large indoor/outdoor space.  This blend of indoor and outdoor living  makes the house feel quite large and enhances the experience of being a part of the serene, natural environment.

Lotus Lake House is secluded enough for that quiet or romantic getaway that you’ve been dreaming about, yet it is close enough to a variety of activities that you can fill your days any way you choose.  A private trail takes visitors to the lake, where kayaking, sailing, swimming, and water skiing, jet skiing, and many more outdoor activities are available.  Some of the best hiking in California can be found nearby.  If you’d like to explore the greater area, Lake Tahoe skiing and sightseeing, historic Gold Rush towns, antique shops, and several wineries are all close, along with a variety of restaurants, shopping, and sightseeing locales.  You certainly won’t run out of things to do in this neck of the woods.
