Carolyn we had a wonderful time at your place. Thank you for allowing our dogs to join us. Everything was great. I do have one small request, and that would be to have a full length mirror. I know that’s “petty “ but it would help. Again thank you!

Carolyn’s cabin in North Lake Tahoe is a hidden gem. The pictures do not do it justice, this cabin is pristine, charming, cozy, and the perfect place for a weekend getaway. Carolyn and her family were such gracious hosts, providing area recommendations and puppy friends for our Corgi to play with!

Great spot to chill out or act as a home base for mountain activities. Private lake access is 2 blocks away with awesome beach and dock facilities. The house is 2nd floor above garage and super cute and clean. Has a nice deck area for wine and snacks while your dog hangs out in the yard. Carolyn is a great hostess and we will absolutely be going back

Very cute cabin with lots of alpine cabin decor that helped immerse us in the Tahoe experience, including the skylights that let us view the forest around us. The nearby private beach club was beautiful, and the short stroll over to nearby Sunnyside and Shadyside restaurants was convenient when we wanted to eat out. The beautiful bike route was close by and we were able to ride to it directly from the cabin. Carolyn was a pleasure to work with and we look forward to coming back.

Great place to stay! Cabin is so warm and inviting. It feels like you are in the trees! One couldn’t ask for a better location. Private beach, close to bike trails, restaurants. Host easy to communicate with and very helpful. Highly recommend a stay at Buckhorn cabin.

Why they chose this property

Lake Tahoe is a spectacular destination for any time of the year. We are conveniently located near many restaurants, shops, ski resorts and more. This detached cabin provides a quiet and private retreat while still convenient to all the amenities Lake Tahoe has to offer.

This rental is near Homewood Resort, Alpine and world class Pacific Palisades ski resort. This location also includes access to the outstanding beach-front homeowners park. The private Lake Tahoe Park Homeowner Association includes over 800 feet of beach area on the beautiful west shore of Lake Tahoe. Two deep water piers offer a convenient loading area for boaters and a relaxing locale for sun bathers. More than three acres of land are beautifully landscaped and meticulously maintained throughout the Summer. Relax in the shade on the expansive lawn area. The kids will love the volleyball court, horseshoe pits, basketball hoop and play area complete with swing sets.
