About this property

Charming Strawberry, Twin Bridges Cabin close to Sierra at Tahoe, American River

This unique mid-century modern cabin style (1950's) house sleeps 4 comfortably. It is located in the scenic Strawberry community off of Highway 50, 100 yards from the American River in the Strawberry forest canyon. There are beautiful views of Lover's Leap from our cabin with floor to ceiling (9') windows in the Living Room and Rose Room. The cabin is equipped with new, efficient forced air heating, remodeled kitchen with granite countertops, new Pergo flooring, updates everywhere and a beautiful floor to ceiling stone fireplace that adds ambiance and additional warmth.

It is in walking distance to the historic Pony Express Trail and Lover's Leap, a hot spot for rock climbers and hikers. Enjoy the historic Strawberry Lodge, a walk away, for breakfast, dinner or a nightcap or walk to the Strawberry Station to pick up some groceries or hang out with the locals, climbers and the owners, Squirrel and Jen.

An hour and a half from Sacramento, just before the usual chain control at Twin Bridges and 5 miles before Sierra-at-Tahoe our cabin is ideal for skiers and riders, without the hassle of driving over Echo Summit. There are many recreational activities to enjoy right out the front door and even more a short drive away.

The Pacific Crest Trail, the Pony Express Trail, Lover's Leap and Horse Tail Falls Trail are minutes from the cabin. The cabin is close to a handful of mountain recreational lakes including Echo Summit Lake, Ice House Lake, and Cody Lake.

We had such a wonderful stay at this adorable cabin in Strawberry! From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much care the owner put into maintaining the space. It was absolutely spotless. Everything felt fresh, cozy, and thoughtfully arranged, which made it easy to settle in and relax right away.The cabin itself is incredibly charming, with a warm, inviting atmosphere that perfectly matches the peaceful mountain surroundings. It’s the kind of place that feels both rustic and comfortable, with all the little touches that make a stay special. The location is fantastic for a day of skiing at Sierra at Tahoe. Whether you’re looking to ski, hike, or simply sit back and enjoy the fresh air, this cabin is an ideal home base.Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for a clean, cute, and cozy mountain getaway, this cabin in Strawberry is an absolute gem. We would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing retreat

Love Cari’s cabin! It was so cozy and comfortable- the fireplace is probably our favorite part of the cabin. It was a treat to sit by the fire and watch the snow fall. Lots of neat games, books and VHS/DVD collections. Plus the beds were very comfortable- would stay here again!

The Strawberry House was fantastic

Carri was incredibly helpful and we loved staying at her place. The place is in the shadow of the mountain which is great to view at day or night. The property has a fantastic outdoor deck as well as front viewing area of the mountain. It is very well stocked with everything you need and we may even stay again during the winter time as it seems like a perfect place to chill by their fantastic fireplace.

About the host

Hosted by Cari

Host profile image
We both enjoy outdoor activities like surfing, jogging, mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, back country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, swimming and camping. I love to decorate and work on home improvement projects. Fulfilling my life long dream of owning a cabin in the Sierras has given me another fantastic projected that I love. It is so fun decorating the cabin in mountain/lodge decor!

Why they chose this property

Vacationing in Tahoe was always a favorite memory growing up. It has always been a dream to own a little cabin in the woods. We love the seclusion, skiing and outdoor adventures in Strawberry/ Twin Bridges. It's the perfect place to bring kids, and I'm glad we can give our kids the same life long memories of enjoying the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains!

What makes this property unique

The cabin has so many fun adventures right out the front door. Walking to the American River to relax by the river or swim in the pools is a fantastic summer activity. Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, Pony Express Trail, Horse tail Falls Trail are always beautiful. Bringing a plant guide to help identify Sierra wild flowers is always a joy. Hiking from Camp Sacramento to the top of Lover's Leap is an easy hike with spectacular views as the reward! Not to mention, the great lakes nearby to fish, swim, boat and relax by the shore.
