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.

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!

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.

Comfortable, clean and cute!

I brought my boys (teens) and my dog for some time in the snow. The cabin was vey nice and spacious with all things needed. Well stocked kitchen, laundry and even a hot tub! The dog loved the fenced in area. The humans loved the fireplace and the dining table (we play lots of Uno). Thank you for a wonderful stay.

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.

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!

Beautiful house and outdoor spaces

You can tell that someone loves this house. The minute you walk in it's warm and welcoming. Well stocked with quality kitchen appliances, pans, etc. The bedrooms are cozy and the linens good quality. The backyard better than the photos. The only note to potential renters is that the noise ordinance is 8pm PST, not 9pm as the listing notes so there is no hot tub, backyard BBQ or other use of this beautiful property after 8pm which was a bummer for an August summer vaca in Tahoe...it's not even dark yet! Would I want to go back to this house? YES! For a winter stay it would be amazing! The owner was so very nice and responsive. So, while the ordinance changed our plans for this trip, we adjusted and still had a great time.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Outstanding Home & Amenities...

This place is really quite special. The home is a rustic cabin style but the fit and finish is very high quality so we were by no means "roughing it." The interior space is cozy but was comfortably adequate for our party of four adults and one pooch. Great kitchen that is exceptionally well-equipped with very nice appliances and everything one might need to cook - which we did. Nice bathrooms and a functional laundry with high quality W & D, and the outdoor space is also exceptional. We very much enjoyed the fireplace and the hot tub (which was sparkling clean) because we arrived during a cold and somewhat rainy long weekend. Excellent location. Really cool place. Highly recommended, as they say...
