Beautiful Cabin and Great Location

The cabin was perfect for our group of four friends. The house is beautifully built and decorated, well appointed, and very charming. The location was also great for our ski weekend, and I would recommend to anyone considering.

Beautiful West Shore Cabin

We stayed at cabin for ski week and couldn’t have been happier with the accommodation. Within easy driving range of most ski resorts. We skied Palisades last, on a Tuesday after a holiday weekend and it was great. Easy in and out. The cabin was cozy, well stocked, very close to Tahoe City for all our needs. Owners were awesome and responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful cabin!

It was a wonderful stay. The cabin is beautiful and practical, full of light, great decoration, very comfortable beds. The jacuzzi works very well. The house is 2 blocks from the lake, close to trails (esp Eagle nest trail), 20 min to Alpine and Meadows ski resorts and conveniently close to Tahoe City. Great communication with host. Highly recommended.

Cute house!

Great house for one family or a few friends! The area is awesome (you can walk down to the lake!) and the host is wonderful. Only two downsides were that the beds were all very uncomfortable, and there isn’t a lot of living room space for everyone to hang out together.

Cute has-it-all cabin

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cabin. Cabin was clean, with well stocked kitchen and baths. Old style cabin touches in the home really make the cabin unique. Communication with the owners was easy and quick. Neighborhood was terrific, close to Tahoe City without the traffic. Highly recommend!

Great rental!

Over the years, we have rented many properties in the Tahoe area. Some were better than others. Having said that, we look forward to staying at this cabin again in the future. The cabin itself is pure Old Tahoe, and the outdoor areas are wonderful, both front and back yard. Gotta give it a 10 out of 10!

Great stay in Timberland

This place is a really enjoyable stay. It's well set up for families and bringing a dog. The front yard is spacious and the backyard is nice as well. The location is walkable to Hurricane Bay and a little further to the Sunnyside area. The owner is attentive and responsive. There's easy access to good trails from the Timberland neighborhood. Arguably the only downside is that you don't get access to any of the HOA beaches, like you would if you stay in Tahoe Pines or some place that's connected with Tahoe Park Association. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

Memorable Birthday & Holiday

It was truly a beautiful cabin experience and it had quality glasses, kitchen cooking appliances, quality pots and pans and nice towels. We felt like we were home! An added benefit was the Christmas lights hung on the cabin. We made dinner every night and played lots of games. Great family memories made here. We look forward to staying here again. A big thank you to the owners and their hospitality. Sincerely Scott & Janine

Great Family Cabin

Had everything needed. We brought most our food to cook and there was a space for everyone. Family of 5, 3 teenagers. Kids enjoyed hot tub. We were surrounded by 10 ft of snow, but location would be convenient for summer beach (walkable) and quick drive to Tahoe City for groceries and restaurants. We went to Squaw each day and that was only a 20 minute drive. Great neighborhood filled with great cabins and laid back feel. Cozy, comfortable, great kitchen!

Fantastic location in a quiet neighborhood away from road noise on the West Shore. We loved the authenticity of the cabin, the layout and the spacious front yard for our dog Turbo. It was great to have a backyard for BBQing & a hot tub for evening soaks. Would definitely stay here again!

Classic Cozy Cabin, Great location

This home will give you the perfect cozy Tahoe cabin feel that you’re looking for! It’s a very cute and classic cabin that fit our group of 6 adults very comfortably with room to spare. The home is well stocked with everything you need to cook at home but also very close to many great restaurants and bars along the lake. Only about 15m to Palisades and Alpine where we went skiing. Very kind and responsive host!
