About this property

The “Bear’s Den”—a family favorite cabin!

Welcome to the “Bear’s Den”—an inviting, charming cabin in the beautiful neighborhood of Tahoe Vista! Enjoy views of trees and the lake in this split-level, 2 bedroom-1 bath ~1200 sq ft cabin in the woods. The main level features a sunny deck with Weber gas grill, a kitchen with bar, a table by the fireplace, and a comfortable sitting area. Downstairs, the first bedroom features a queen bed and the second bedroom accommodates 4 in twin bunk beds (very family friendly!). The bathroom with shower is adjacent to the two bedrooms. Upstairs there is a queen sleeper sofa in a spacious loft/den with a 4-person table. A gas fireplace with a remote control makes cozy evenings by the fire as easy as possible. A full kitchen, as well as a patio table on the deck, enhance mealtimes. Enjoy happy hour in the mountain air seated in two Adirondack chairs in side yard of the cabin. Entertainment includes an array of board games, a smart TV and complimentary WiFi. An adjacent Tahoe conservancy lot and quiet, walkable neighborhood allows for plenty of outdoor space to explore. Walk less than a mile to North Tahoe Regional Park (hiking, biking, ball fields, ropes courses, playground, sledding and snowshoeing) or explore the shoreline (half mile away). Kings Beach, Carnelian Bay, cross country skiing and major ski resorts are all within a short drive (Northstar 9 miles, Pallisades 15 miles, Diamond Peak 10 miles). Driveway accommodates 3 cars. Storage area on bottom level includes washer/dryer. Pack n play as well as booster seat with tray available.

We have 4 children and adore the north Tahoe area. We want your family to have a wonderful vacation in a comfortable setting where you can relax, enjoy each other's company, and have many outdoor adventures. We chose to buy this cabin because we fell in love with the setting, the light through the front windows, and the accessibility to every possible activity in all four seasons. We know you will feel the same when you stay at the Bear's Den.
