Meet your host


Gus Bean

Hello! My mission is simple: To serve as your ultimate Tahoe launchpad, providing a warm, comfortable, welcoming basecamp for your adventures. With prime access to the Tahoe National Forest, the city of Truckee, and anything “Lake Tahoe”, I offer a cozy place to recharge after a day on the trails or the slopes. The Mod Lodge is a place where families and friends can gather, unplug, and create lifelong memories surrounded by the beauty of the High Sierra.

“Searching felt endless until Gus. He didn't just find us a house; he connected us with our home. No wasted time, just results. Truly, we stopped searching and started living immediately!”

Sarah & David Lau
