About this property

25% off spring!! Cabin in the Woods, Game Room, Hot Tub, Forest, Beach/Pool,Pets

Get away to the west shore, spring special 25% off!! $275 per night with a 3 night stay.

Bear Haven lies at the edge of an old growth forest with trails directly behind the cabin. Ski in through the forest from Homewood Mountain Resort in the winter.

You are renting directly from a long-time owner, no extra fees like management fee, administrative fee, hot tub fees, pet fees. The VRBO service fee still applies.
(Taxes include mandatory 10% lodging tax and a new North Tahoe Business Tourist Tax of 2%
So many activities to keep your family busy without ever getting in the car: Ping pong and pool tables in the game room; Hot tub on the back deck; Homewood Mountain Resort and forest open space behind the house, guests can hike, bike, mountain bike, build a fort or ski. Full Chamberlands privileges in summer (Father’s Day thru Labor Day).
Bear Haven is the perfect cabin for year-round indoor and outdoor fun.

Located near the south base of Homewood ski area, Lagoon Road is family friendly, close to the bike path and backs up to forest! In summer enjoy our full membership of Chamber's Pool, Beach and Tennis Club. In winter, walk down the road to ski and back to the house through the woods for lunch or at the end of the day! Our rustic getaway backs up to open space, hike, mountain bike, snowshoe or x-country ski from the house depending on the season!

Three level A-frame cabin with a remodeled kitchen: new cabinets, double oven, counters, refrigerator gas cooktop and dishwasher. New double vanity in the master bath. Always trying to make improvements to the house so our guests will have an enjoyable stay.

Great house for any season! BEAR HAVEN is the perfect home to gather family and friends for your year-round fun and wildlife viewing. The house is 3 levels: 1st floor has mud room, game room, master (king bed), full bath and laundry room. The 2nd floor has open living room/kitchen, bedroom (queen and twin), 3/4 bath, large front deck and back deck with new spa and 5 burner gas grill BBQ. 3rd floor has two bedrooms (queen and full beds in front; queen and twin beds in back) These share a 1/2 bath, and each has a small deck.
WINTER: Enjoy a 4-day weekend, our guests love to ski at uncrowded Homewood Mountain Resort (walk or ski down Lagoon Road to the South base); then ski into the backyard for intermediate skiers, depending of course on snow conditions. The ski area has lots of promotions for lift tickets, check their website skihomewood.

SNOWPLOWING, we are on the regular schedule for snow plowing, however the contractor has up to 300 homes to plow. If there is a big storm when you arrive you may have to move snow to get into the house. The street plowing may create a berm in front of the driveway

Spring and fall are the best in Tahoe, crowds are gone and wildlife abounds. Park your car and bike or hike in the woods right out the back yard or down the bike path. Our families build natural forts right out the back! Walk or bike to the General Store/Deli in Homewood or along the bike path to the beach and Tahoma amenities. Very quiet and peaceful.
Relax in the private hot tub or by one of the warm wood fireplaces!

Summer rentals are weekly with long weekends available early and late. Rates include the famous Chamberlands Club with private beach, pool and tennis courts (about a mile away along the bike path). Dates of operation: Father's Day weekend through Labor Day; 10:30-5:30 (Lifeguard staffing)
Shuttle Bus Service approximately July 1st-August 20th 11:00-6:30pm and passes right in front of Bear Haven. Grandma, grandpa and the young ones can come and go while the older kids hang out at the beach all day!
Guests to the west shore are often confused about the summer amenities here: The amenities are actually two memberships, one to the Chamberlands Beach and Mountain Club which maintains the two private beaches with roped swim areas, lifeguards and summer day and evening family activities. The second is the Chamberlands Recreation Club which includes and maintains entrance to the private heated pool with lifeguards, lounges and private restrooms. The private pool and beaches are integrated into a public pier, bar and restaurant right on the lake.
The origin of these clubs can be confusing. Upon developing the Chamberlands condominiums about 35 years ago, the adjacent homes in Chamberlands I and II were offered a chance to purchase a membership in one or both clubs. The opportunity for the pool/tennis club was once in a lifetime and is linked to the specific home's title. At this time, most homes in Chamberlands maintain a membership in the Beach and Mountain Club, while only a portion of homes have access to the pool and tennis facilities with a hefty yearly fee. We have both. This part of the lake also has a forest service pet-friendly public portion of beach available to other homes in the area (Ex: Tahoma, McKinney, Homewood) which is on the southern edge of this sandy beach area of Lake Tahoe.

WINTER: Enjoy a 4-day weekend, our guests love to ski at uncrowded Homewood Mountain Resort (walk or ski down Lagoon Road to the South base); then ski into the backyard for intermediate skiers, depending of course on snow conditions. The ski area has lots of promotions for lift tickets, check their website skihomewood .

We have a camera at the front of the house so we can see the road, trash area and driveway. (for construction parking, trash by the road and snow in the winter).

Great relaxing stay
We enjoyed the cabin with my kids, nephews, sister and parents and created a lot of great memories playing ping pong, pool and board games. The hot tub was a hit with our teens also! We stayed over a spring break in April and there was a lot of snow to play in. The cabin was just as pictured. Kitchen is very well stocked and we had everything we could have needed and then some.

Stocked Cabin in Great Location
The cabin was in a great location for our family to enjoy the sights around Lake Tahoe and the hiking trails right out the back door were lovely and convenient. The kitchen was well stocked for everything we needed to make a Thanksgiving dinner and more. The three levels spread the family out nicely. The baby gates were a very welcome addition to protect our two toddler grandchildren from the stairs. We also enjoyed the pool table and ping pong. The only downside to our trip to Bear Haven was a stomach flu my son came down with over the weekend and ended up sharing with me. Packing up and traveling 8 hours home was a tough challenge. I do recommend this location and cabin for families visiting Lake Tahoe!

"By the shore"
The cabin was very nice inside. We had plenty of room for out extended family of 4 parents, 2 grandparents, and 4 teens. Spent most of our time near Chambers and Sunnyside, and the public beach area at Chambers. We love that area.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie & Dan

Host profile image
A retired UCLA trained dentist now living in Jackson Hole Wyoming. Spent many years in the Bay Area and this was our family cabin when my sons were growing up. We now have wonderful liaisons living and working in Lake Tahoe that help us maintain our cabin for our many guests.

Why they chose this property

Lake Tahoe can be SO busy any time of year, but the West Shore is the prettiest and quietest. We enjoyed parking the car during visits and not using it again until it was time to go back home.
The open space behind the house and quiet street were a stark contrast to our home in Ross and the hiking is awesome. This part of Homewood/Chamberlands neighborhood only has two roads above West Lake Boulevard, which allows easy access by bike, and creates a quiet neighborhood with few cars so the boys could play in front or back.
The lake is quite close by, and we would have a much better view of it if there weren't so many beautiful conifers growing all around us! Truly feels like the woods!
The early nineties were drought years and Tahoe had very little snow. Being on the 'shady' side of the lake, the little snow that there was, would last much longer than anywhere else...making for snow play all winter!
Lake Tahoe's shoreline is primarily private, so we wanted a home that also had access to a beach. Chamberlands is one of the nicest clubs in Tahoe with sandy beaches and all its facilities together at the lake. What a wonderful setting!

What makes this property unique

More wonderful family memories at a fun cabin in the woods with wildlife and recreation all around us. The game room was always the boy's domain and the separate kitchen/living area always seemed to be the adults' hangout. The three levels give everyone a bit of space and privacy when desired. The hot tub on the back deck is in a wonderful forest setting, and although we have neighbors to the north and south, the situation of our home slightly to the west gave us total privacy there.
