This cabin retreat is a great getaway for families. While there were only four of us in our party, the cabin would accommodate many more. The location was perfect for the activities we wanted to enjoy: biking around the lake, horseback riding, etc. The hosts provided detailed check in and check out instructions which were very easy to follow. The cabin was very clean and had everything you would need in the kitchen for making meals at home. The ambiance of this cabin was very charming and cozy, would definitely recommend staying here and would absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful stay! This was our second time staying here and we absolutely love it. It has everything we need, and it's an excellent location for both skiing and lake access. The cabin is cozy and well stocked with everything we needed for our family with 3 young boys. The host is responsive and so kind, and we will definitely be back!

We will be back! Wonderful spot for a larger family (7). Stocked very well and close to everything. The owner communicated well. It was a wonderful stay. My only recommendation for the owner is to provide an umbrella or small canopy for beach days. We’d have brought one had we not flown.

Host was very responsive. Didn’t really have too many questions or concerns because the host had a very clear binder which answered all questions before they needed to be asked. The cabin had everything you could possibly need, and then some.

Lovely, quiet neighborhood with roomy cabin

Our hosts were very responsive, and our stay was lovely. The L-shaped deck with dining table (and umbrella) is a treat, and the newish bathrooms are wonderful. The location--somewhere between Kings Beach and Tahoe City--is terrific, and Carnelian Bay has its own charms as well.

Pictures do not do justice to how beautiful this cabin is. We had a very relaxing Christmas get-away with family. We loved the short walk to the beach and location overall was great. I would highly recommend.
