About this property

Family & Pet Friendly, Enjoy a Relaxing Vacation in Tahoe

Our three-bedroom, three-bath, Lake Tahoe Vacation Rental is located off of Pioneer Trail/Washoan Drive in South Lake Tahoe. Our cabin is CLEAN with upgraded furnishings and amenities. We limit occupancy to 6 people. Casa Tahoe's location, is in a QUIET neighborhood, just 6 miles from Heavenly Ski Resort, Stateline Casinos, and Lake Tahoe, making it a perfect all-season getaway for couples or your entire family. And don't forget about the family dog! Please note that Casa Tahoe does not have A/C, when we replace our furnace we will likely get it but at this point, we have ceiling fans in all the upstairs rooms.

We are a family and pet-friendly property. We have a teenager and a Labrador, so the cabin has been stocked for their enjoyment and our ease of staying there ourselves. We have a portable high chair (attaches to a chair), portable crib, baby bath, books, movies, and games appropriate for ages toddler through adult.

Your well-behaved pet is welcome. Our backyard is fully enclosed by a 6-foot chain-link fence. Your dog will appreciate the dog bed and treats we always keep at the cabin. We often take our dog for a walk down to the Upper Truckee River or on the Forest Service Trail starting just a block from the cabin.

Our nearest ski resort is Heavenly, which is easily accessible by taking Pioneer Trail to Ski Run Drive or drop off at the Gondola which is a quick right onto Highway 50 once you are at the top of Pioneer Trail. Our location allows you to avoid the traffic on Highway 50 to reach Heavenly. It is also convenient to Sierra at Tahoe and Kirkwood by avoiding the traffic north of Pioneer Trail. Take advantage of the beginning ski classes at these great ski resorts for your kids or daycare available while you enjoy the slopes. (Please note many of the Tahoe Ski Resorts require an ADVANCE reservation due to COVID capacity restrictions, be sure to check their website before travelling to Tahoe to ski). Close to the cabin are locations for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Some of our neighbors start their cross-country skiing excursions in the meadow behind our cabin. There are also sleds in the garage for your use should you want to visit a local sledding park.

Amenities like our wood-burning stove add to the ambiance of this Lake Tahoe Cabin Rental. And yes, you can use the outside grill in the winter!

Our back deck affords a relaxing view of the mountains or just stay in the living room as the full-length windows provide you with a view.

If gambling is your game, the casinos are located at Stateline, just a few miles up Pioneer Trail, or enjoy the many extra amenities we provide for your entertainment at the cabin such as cable TV, games, books, Wii, and an extensive DVD library. We have high-speed internet but bring your own laptop for cable hookup or wireless. (SORRY COMPUTER NOT PROVIDED).

We've thought of everything you will need to make your stay at Casa Tahoe comfortable and easy. We provide many extra amenities such as quality linens and a kitchen equipped with top-quality cookware and appliances. The cabin is tastefully decorated with new furniture and bedding and our downstairs recreation room provides a special get-away for the teens.

Please note our South Lake Tahoe Cabin is located in a very quiet, peaceful, wooded neighborhood. Sound carries far in this high-altitude air, so we ask our guests to keep their voices down while using the back deck. Deck and backyard use is restricted between 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM (El Dorado County Vacation Rental Owners Regulation). We also strictly enforce the maximum occupancy to comply with El Dorado County Vacation Rental Owners Regulations. If you send us a reservation request please tell us a little more about your group. Ages of the members of your group, activities that you will be doing while in South Lake Tahoe, where your group is traveling from, etc. Our cabin is in a quiet neighborhood with permanent residents who enjoy the tranquility of their homes and we want to make sure that Casa Tahoe is a good fit for your family or group.

Please click on our GUEST COMMENTS below for our previous guests' opinions of this great South Lake Tahoe Vacation Rental. Vacation rental by owner is the way to go for an affordable cabin rental in South Lake Tahoe! Come visit us soon!

PLEASE NOTE, we require our guests to maintain quiet hours, limited hot tub use hours, no smoking, and you must be age 25 or greater to enter into a rental agreement. We will be emailing you a rental agreement for you to sign and return along with other paperwork. Your reservation will be complete once you return to us your signed rental agreement, a list with the contact information of all adult members of your group (both El Dorado County requirements) and a copy of a government-issued ID, a picture of your driver's license sent from a smartphone would be fine.

Great property. Host was extremely communicative and helpful. We were concerned about the weather and we were allowed to check-in early to avoid traveling and unpacking in the winter storm. The house was comfortable and stocked well.

Peaceful location and great house!

The views from the back deck were fantastic, and the location near the meadow (by the airport) was so convenient for short hikes and biking. The kitchen was well-stocked and our kids loved the downstairs den/bedroom.

Pet Friendly Haven

The property is located in a great location with ability to go all over South Lake Tahoe and get there quickly! This is a great retro-vintage home. It had every accommodation with great generosity in provisions. We loved being out back with our pet who so enjoyed the coolness and sunsets after the Las Vegas heat!!

Comfy, dog-friendly, relaxing stay

We had a great stay at Casa Tahoe. The cabin is large but also cozy, clean, and comfortable with all of the amenities you could ever need. We loved the location - just far enough from town for more seclusion but also close enough for activities, supplies, and restaurants. The home is also very dog friendly - ours especially enjoyed the huge, fenced yard. Gorgeous sunset views from the back deck too! Heating the hot tub was a little tricky for a novice (like me) - just make sure you follow the instructions given by the owners. We would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable house in a great location

We enjoyed our stay at the house. It is large, comfortable and supplied with everything to make ones stay a good one. That includes paper products, everything you need to cook a great meal (except the food, of course), cleaning supplies, shampoo, soap, body wash, hand and dish soap, washing machine pods, dryer sheets, etc... The fenced backyard is great for dogs. The proximity to a great meadow/river trail is wonderful as well. We used the house as a base to hike, visit casinos and restaurants, bowl, and visit with friends. We also played a couple of the board games that were provided. We would definitely return if our plans include South Lake Tahoe in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Frank Overton

Host profile image
We purchased Casa Tahoe in 2003, however, we have been Vacation Rental Owners in South Lake Tahoe for 20 years. We are a small family, (just one child) but visit our cabin at least once a month, and invite friends and family to join us.

Why they chose this property

We love the South Lake Tahoe area. We enjoy the cabin year-round, snowboarding in the winter, the lake in the summer, and the quiet months of October and May are actually my favorite! There are always festivals to attend, or we enjoy just spending time with family, friends, and our dogs.
In response to COVID-19, we have implemented enhanced cleaning and disinfecting procedures. Our cleaning staff follows CDC/WHO guidelines when preparing our place for our guests to minimize the risk of infections to our guests and themselves. Contact us for more information on this subject.
We believe that CasaTahoe can provide an excellent getaway opportunity for guests that can drive up to Tahoe. The potential exposure would be less than going to a crowded airport, traveling by airplane, and lodging in a busy hotel.

What makes this property unique

We have lots of space for family and friends. We love entertaining. I have equipped the cabin with the cookware I need for making gourmet meals for a crowd. I have also focused on equipping the cabin with entertainment (books, games, videos) that all ages would enjoy. We are on a quiet, residential street, with great views of the mountains. It's fun and relaxing at the same time. From our location off of Pioneer Trail, you can get to the cabin easily from Sacramento or the Bay Area without having to drive through town. At the same time, it does not take long to get to Heavenly, the casinos, the lake beaches, shopping or restaurants from our cabin via Pioneer Trail.
