All About Hekpa The Hekpa Mountain
Lodge has been one of the most often rented vacation homes in South
Lake Tahoe since
it
was built in 2000.
Guests from around the world have enjoyed the unique and wondrous amenities
here that compliment the majestic views and mountain air in the Lake
Tahoe area. Designed as a vacation retreat, the 3500 square foot home
features a fully equipped gourmet kitchen which
opens into a magnificent logged great room with large rock fireplace.
The
adjoining balcony
with
barbeque
has a lovely view for dining outside in seasonable weather.
The master suit has a private bathrom with jacuzzi tub. Two other
bedrooms plus a large loft sleeping area with two more
beds and pullout
couch provide sleeping for up to ten. The loft features a
pool table and
foosball
table.
Oh and just
a few other things…a large indoor heated pool complete with waterfall
and fireplace. Colored lighting under the waterfall and fiber optic
lighting that surrounds the pool set a relaxing mood in the evenings.
A separate
steam room, separate sauna room and log bar are also in the pool area.
The outdoor spa on the rear deck nestled in the pine trees has
a great view of the stars. Located just 6 miles from the Lake and
8 from
Heavenly Ski resort
and
the casinos,
but
far
enough
away
on a quite cul-de-sac with empty wooded lots on either side. The beautiful
forested surroundings and unsurpassed list of amenities makes this
home the ultimate retreat that truly defines “get-away”! The home decor includes old photos of the Tahoe area and a Native American theme of carved wooden statues, albeit the lone cowboy who guards the pool. This is to honor of the original peoples of the area and also for the names of ours and other streets in the area that have tribal names and words. What does Hekpa mean? We searched all the local historical sources, countless books, Internet searches, and even contacted the National Archives. The name remains a mystery. Likely it would have derived from a word meaning “fir” or a name a band of Native Americans. Certainly it is open to interpretation, so feel free to give Hekpa your own special meaning.
