This property was amazing, and I would definitely stay here again. It was a charming, traditional family cabin with everything we needed. We overpacked a little because because we did not realize how well equipped the kitchen and house would be. There were plenty of bed linens, towels, blankets, and even beach chairs. The cabin is within walking distance of the beach and has a lovely yard with games and a hot tub. My guests were delighted, and so was I!

Sue was a very responsive host and the property was quiet with beautiful landscaping and a great location at Tahoe. We had one hiccup with an appliance which Sue promptly had attended to. We so appreciated having such a nice dog friendly place to stay. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all on the ground floor level in a two story home so lots of going up and down stairs to be aware of. The kitchen was well stocked with baking and cooking tools - always a plus.

Lake Tahoe

Nice home in a quiet neighborhood, within walking distance to Lake Tahoe beach and several trails. Short drive to local restaurants and several beach areas and water activities. We even saw a brown bear in the neighborhood.
Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 4 August 2022
Thank you Genevieve! I'm glad you enjoyed our home :) The bear you saw may have been brown in color, however, we don't have brown bears in Tahoe (aka grizzly bears). Black bears are the only species of bear found in the Tahoe basin -- and yep, many of them are brown, some cinnamon and some have black fur -- and they're all snack hounds!

Beautifully maintained home on Tahoe’s west shore. Our family enjoyed the location. Close to activities but still quiet. We even saw a bear on one of our evening walks. Hosts were great. The whole experience had us longing for our own Tahoe retreat.
