Please read our guest reviews! As seen in Sunset and Dwell Magazines, the Lotus Lake House is a completely 'green' exclusive home designed by the award-winning architect Michelle Kaufmann. Its sleek & modern with accordian-style glass walls that completely open to the deck and views of the lake. Lots of windows and cool welcoming tones. We are completely off-grid and have been awarded 'Build it Green' and 'Keep the Sierra Green' certification. We're situated on 7 acres of private forested property. We cleared just enough trees to have fabulous views of Rollins Lake or instead of just gazing, hike the private trail from the deck to the lake and hop in the canoe we provide guests. With the glass 'Nano' walls open to the outdoors - indoor and outdoor living is blended. No neighbors or other structures in sight! Just the Sierra Mountains, trees, deep blue water, deer, owls, raptors and the ocassional honking geese. Whether you are on the deck sipping coffee and watching the beautiful sunrise over the mountains, reading, sipping a drink at sunset or star gazing at night, the experience is magical. Our home is ideally suited for a romantic get-away, or for a couple of good friends or close family members who just need a retreat from the stresses of daily life. Sit on the deck and enjoy the water activity during the summer, swim in the lake or come off season when it's absolutely still. Ideal for writer/artist retreat. Only earth-friendly products are used so it's perfect for people with chemical sensitivities. For those who want to support the environment while staying in an exclusive and unique property, you can't ask for more. You'll feel like you are in a treehouse. As one of our guests said, 'if you need to relearn how to breathe, this place will teach you'! Come experience off-the-grid living in luxury! The Lotus Lake House was the showcase home at the 2007 West Coast Green Show in San Francisco. Please read our guest comments as they describe the experience better than we ever could!!

Very quiet and safe and definitely a needed getaway. We enjoyed our time there and Tod was as always a super host and made sure we felt comfortable. However we did wish that the washing machine/dryer was functional. There was also a jacuzzi this time, but it seemed out of function.

You won’t be sorry. ##### Steve G. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Donald 28 Jul 2024 If you’re looking for peace and quiet this is for you. This green prefab is very secluded. It is starting to show its age though. Music system is set up for docking an old style iPod. Deck is at the point it will need to replaced soon. Unfortunately, currently the lake is about 20 feet low making access from the home difficult at best. ##### Donald Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ana S. 17 Nov 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great location, peaceful relaxing, nice view among the trees, loved all the windows! ##### Ana S.

Main issues were locking doors for some reason, as well as the lack of cleanliness. We expected it cleaner since the price was pretty up there. What I had to clean during the stay was the grill, the couch, windows were a bit smudged when there, and the shower was full of mildew and the red bacteria. Would come back again if cleaning improves(: ##### Ashley V.

Nice home with a great deck and view of Rollins Lake. I would suggest a binder for guests with possible hikes in the area, helpful hints for using the home, and if guests bring dogs, a note about ticks and poison oak in the area. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. ##### Linda M.

We pulled close to 2 doz so we probably won't visit that area again. The place though was quite beautiful and very comfortable. ##### Teresa E. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2021 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Arthur R. 28 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Mountain/Lake Getaway We had a great time at Lotus Lake house. The house is unique and very well taken care of. Fully stocked with everything you could possibly want or need. Tod, the owner, was very responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely stay there again. Suggestions would be to replace the queen size bed with a king size, as the room is large enough. Also, shades would be an asset in the front of the house to block the sun . ##### Arthur R. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2020 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent 15 Aug 2010 #### An off the grid getaway We truly enjoyed our time at Lotus Lake house. We chose this listing because of the lovely photos depicting the deck looking out over the lake and it did not disappoint. We ate breakfast and lunch on the deck each day, and my husband especially enjoyed having his morning coffee out on the deck. We also took our dog with us and that made us feel right at home. The dog run is big and full of great places for dogs to curl up for a nap. Lotus Lake house is new, beautiful and well maintained, and Barrie was super. We relaxed and had lots of down time, just what we needed. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lele Diamond &. 19 Aug 2010 #### We didn't want to leave ... As lovers of modern architecture and conscious living, we were thrilled to find the Lotus Lake House and it did not disappoint. The location is beautiful, the amenities are top notch and being off the grid provided a much needed break from the outside world. We spent our days lounging on the decks (in the most comfortable outdoor furniture we've ever sat in), swimming in the lake, and eating dinner under the stars. The Nano walls were awesome and brought the outdoors in. The owners, Barri and Tod, were also very welcoming and communicative; we were told to call them if we needed anything and had their phone numbers and contact information. Our time at the Lotus Lake House went way too fast and we're already making plans to return. ##### Lele Diamond &.

The cottage needs some upgrades such a kitchen cabinet doors, wood on the deck here and there. We though the housekeeping has a some space for an improvement. But overall it is a very unique place and we have had absolutely wonderful time in this incredible open space set up above the turquoise lake. Thank you Tod for sharing your property with us. We would love to come back in the future. A/J ##### Alena N.

The lake was great, the path was clear, and it did feel very private. We enjoyed our time there. But it felt very run down, and out of date. The price point makes sense now I’ve stayed there. The lighting in the kitchen was just kinda put together instead of fixing. Cords hanging absolutely everywhere, old iPod docks in the walls, holes around the electrical switches. Deck boards that are almost rotted through, washer/dryer was broken, broken hot tub out. The doors and windows were really hard even with a literal manual to explain it. And the house manual is insane. It’s a small book! Almost everything has a “just in case it doesn’t work” and strict rules. There was so much of his “junk” around the property that it really took away from the atheistic of the whole house and vibe. All in all, what they call “quirks” takes away from the whole experience to have to figure out how to even use the rental. You shouldn’t have to read a manual to lock doors, open windows, use basic kitchen appliances, lighting, or water use. Update your directions: some of those landmarks are not there.My husband fixed the tv because it was half hanging off the wall and we thought that would be nice to leave it a little better than how we found it. We messaged our host when we booked and never once heard anything from them the entire time. The place is nice for its purpose and price point but it needs love. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/79e6479f-c942-47d9-af56-01904957c1a4-1759521743626.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/721695ab-8775-4300-8ffb-0fddae4c049f-1759521742476.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5450f425-6669-4d05-99fa-918da968ced2-1759521739720.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Laci S.
