About this property

The Bear's Den Cabin set on a huge lot, lots of room to play!

Mid Week Discounts! Spring and Early summer are the best time to enjoy Lake Tahoe, quieter but weather still great.
The owners created the "Bears Den" at Lake Tahoe with family's looking to explore and play in Tahoe in mind. A complete makeover allowed the owners to add a total "Tahoe Package" to this home. With vaulted pine ceilings, cozy river rock wood burning fireplace, full Spectrum TV package, a very private deck with a hot tub, a pool table/air hockey game(small size), and log and pine furniture throughout this is exactly the Tahoe get-a-way you have been dreaming of! The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans, plates and bowls etc, most everything you need to cook a family meal.

Located in an quiet and secluded area of South Lake Tahoe this home is minutes to Sierra @Tahoe, Heavenly and Kirkwood. Fallen Leaf Lake and Echo Lake are just minutes away as well and all the glitter of the heart of South Shore's famous casinos are 13 minutes away! Lake Tahoe Golf, Tahoe Paradise Park just minutes away (or ride your bike to the park).

Take a stroll down the street and hike into the Lake Tahoe back-country and Desolation Wilderness. If you love to ski, snowshoe, cross country ski, sled, mountain bike, hike or just goof off this is your next vacation destination. By the way, we provide all linens including flannel sheets, cozy comforters. It truly is all right here at "The Bears Den".
The house has vacant lots to the back and the side-lots of room for the kids to play or if we have enough snow to build a snowman.

"Snow" much fun & Relaxation

Amazing great living room space to all sit by fireplace. Pool table with air hockey and table top ping-pong and able to play music from tv. The hot tub was clean and the most relaxing time at the end of the day. The rooms were cozy and spacious for us all. The kids enjoyed the bunkbeds, very comfy, they said. Many board games options and puzzles. This has to be our new favorite place to stay. Especially since we were able to bring our dog. Definitely coming back again any time of the season.

September Bears Den Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at this property for the last three years and plan on coming back next year. The management team is professional and always responds promptly when we have any questions or concerns. We love the location and feel like we are staying in the forest, especially since the property does not have neighboring properties directly to either side and to the rear. The house is well equipped with everything we need and is always clean when we arrive. There are clear and thorough instructions for checking in and out and for the stay. We love this place!

Winter Getaway

Overall the management team for the property was great and very communicative. The property itself was fine, the neighborhood was nice, it’s conveniently located right off highway 50. The house wasn’t anything exceptional, it’s showing some wear but all in all we had a good time.

Bear’s Den

The home was exactly as described. Great location, very clean, and had the basic necessities. I would just recommend whoever is going next to bring some extra towels with you, and shampoo/conditioner/body wash and a hair dryer. Also if you plan to cook then bring your own spices (s&p, cooking oil, etc.). Bathrooms are a bit outdated but otherwise, great stay!

Everything was great. Only thing is the deck area needs some attention. The railing and fence is falling down and is unsafe. And screws are popping out of the floor.

Lovely cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were offered this cabin as a substitute for another one that became unavailable at the last minute. It was very clean, well equipped and we appreciated the hot tub. Some parts of the house could use an upgrade and it was a little too small for us - but would be perfect for a smaller family. The management company was extremely responsive when helping us substitute for the unavailable rental.

Best Christmas ever

This place was truly excellent. It was squeaky clean, in great shape, and the kitchen was well-stocked with cookware and appliances. The hot tub was incredible, likely the nicest and cleanest tub we’ve ever had at a rental. It was also relatively private, once you’re in the tub. Although they’re not close, you can still see into several neighbors’ yards and homes from the tub. The house is a walking distance to several wilderness trails. We got snowed in on Christmas, and entertained ourselves by talking walks in the woods. If you’re into that kind of thing, I recommend bringing cross country skis, snow shoes, or yak tracks for the ice and snow on the trails. Bring your own wood for the fireplace.

Great cabin for a Tahoe getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a cozy cabin that served our two families with young kids very well. The hot tub was great and we enjoyed the comfortable living room and dining area. The pool/foosball table was a hit with the kids. We would definitely enjoy staying here again. Great location in Meyers!The driveway was pretty slippery with a thick coating of ice and slopes downward just a bit towards the house, so just be careful. We were fine, but just something to be aware of. I'd say the rugs or something could probably use a deep clean and airing out, as there was a slight (not a big deal) cheese odor. We enjoyed it and would definitely rent this cabin again!

Tahoe away

We enjoyed the cabin and time with our son and family. There were some issues with doors not locking, lights not working and locks on window falling off, which we fixed. The couch was in terrible shape and the leather was disintegrating all over us and the floor. Could have used some better cooking utensils, especially for cooking on the stove. The oven door glass door was broken and was hazardous. This property could use a major upgrade for the price. All in all we it served the needs of our family and we were flexible and made things work. Thanks

Snow much fun!

This house was a great fit for myself, my boyfriend , his family & our pup! We had a small snow fall Saturday morning which was really exciting for all of us! We played outside in the backyard, made a snowman and small hill to slide down with our 8 year old niece. Lots of laughter around to fireplace! The location was really convenient as well! * only thing I’d suggest is having the deck shoveled off or put a bucket of some ice melt out there. The bbq was blocked by a huge mound of ice/snow. Two people (including my 76 year old dad) ended up falling because of the ice build up. The water from the hot tub contributed I’m sure to create ice on the deck. Just be careful when you’re out there :)* overall it was an amazing time and new lasting memories were made! Thank you!
