25 S. Yuba Dr, Soda Springs, CA

Price: $349,000

Tinsel in Tahoe: This quaint chalet sits in the middle of the woods surrounding Lake Tahoe. The rustic interiors will appeal to a buyer in search of lodgelike charm. Outside, there’s every winter activity imaginable: line skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, sledding, and more than 50 feet of frontage on the Yuba River. Buyer, be aware: The road to the home is only open in the summer, which means you’ll need to ski, snowshoe, or snowmobile in during the winter months.
