Vacationing in Lake Tahoe has never been as entertaining as it is at Snow Creek Chalet. This is your own personal base camp for fun. The setting is truly ideal for those who relish outdoor adventures. Situated just 1/2 mile of the Tahoe Vista Recreation Area and Moondune Beach, a number of activities are within minutes of Snow Creek Chalet. The kids will definitely want to spend the day at the North Tahoe Regional Park ziplining at the Treetop Adventure Park, playing pickleball under the lights, sledding on hill, or exploring miles of hiking/biking/XC trails. Even the family pet will appreciate the awesome dog park! The adults will want to take advantage of the smooth, crystal-clear waters for boating in the morning, golfing at Brockway Golf Course in the afternoon, and devouring prime rib at Old Range Steakhouse in the evening. It is all there for the taking!
If you like quiet, one lane dirt roads, limited neighbors, and enjoy a plethora of activities this is the place for you!

We love Lake Tahoe and have enjoyed the property over the years as our kids have grown and spend less time there, we opted to share our property with others.
Tahoe Vista is 3 square miles of pure bliss... unlike nearby Kings Beach Tahoe Vista is not nearly as busy! You can enjoy the beaches, National or Moondune, enjoy the North Lake Tahoe National Park or take a walk in the Tahoe National Forrest just steps out the front door.

Excellent Lake Tahoe Cabin

This cabin was an excellent experience for us. The location was close by to all of our event needs in Kings Beach in Tahoe Vista. The cabin was super clean and very well equipped for our group. I was really impressed with the communication from the owner and hopefully be able to stay here again in the future.

Arrived close to 4pm and had no problems entering. The kitchen & rooms were clean. The furnishings were nice and the supply of dishware, glasses, cutlery, pots/pans was adequate. Would be nice to have some basic containers for leftovers. Dining table and family room and bedrooms worked well for 4 adults, 3 young kids. Quiet neighborhood and close enough to walk to the beach.

I can not say enough about this fantastic weekend. Liz was readily available and very quick to respond with answers and information. The house is in great shape and in a very quiet area. We all had a great time. The loft area was a surprise and great from the kids as the adults hung out downstairs.

Fun dog-friendly cabin

We had a great time staying at this house in Tahoe. The cabin backs up to an open space area so it felt very private and quiet. Our dog loved running around outside! We loved the proximity to the lake, Safeway, and Gar Woods (less than 5 mins to each) The cabin was super cozy, both couches downstairs and upstairs were spacious and great for lounging. We had an awesome trip and would definitely book again!

Fantastic home

5 star property in the best neighborhood. The host was very communicative and easy to reach out to. House was very comfy and had ever amenity you would need. Our week long stay felt like we were at home and our dog absolutely loved the front yard. We are a family of 5 with 3 teenagers and there was a great deal of space for all.

Beautiful home away from home!

We had the best stay! This house is in a nice area with wonderful hiking close by. The house is super nice and full of all the amenities needed. Liz our host was super sweet and communicated in the best ways possible! We would love to come back and stay during the warmer months and again during this time. Our kids had a blast and can’t wait to come back, they didn’t want to leave. Do not hesitate to stay here, you won’t regret it.

Fun little get away. Perfect home

This is our second time staying here. This house is in the perfect location. There is a Safeway close by to get all essentials. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood where you can walk around. Our kids had their own little sleigh area and our dog can run around. The house is super cozy with all the amenities. Heated bathroom floors are perfect when you come back in from being in the snow. We just love it here. Lots of delicious food options near by as well.

Great Location and Property in Tahoe Vista!

Cute cabin that is tucked away in nice neighborhood. There were plenty of easy hiking trails very close to the property. It was also a short walk through the neighborhood to the lake and beaches. The property itself had a very nice kitchen and family room area. All the rooms had comfortable beds and the outdoor porch space was especially nice for sitting outside and enjoying the cool mountain evening/mornings. Liz was great with the communication as well and answered all our questions and provided us with great information about the area. Perfect stay for our family.

Great Location

It was just me, my wife, and our dog, so we knew we had reserved a much bigger place than we needed, but we are so glad we picked this 3 BR, 2 bath cabin. The cabin is down a gravel dead end street and adjacent to wooded trails that were really nice for our dog walks. The seclusion and super convenient location makes this cabin outstanding. Although we did not cook meals, the kitchen appears to be fully stocked with all the cookware you would need. We only used the toaster oven and coffe machine, along with the frig.

Amazing Thanksgiving

Liz and her property exceed our expectations! Liz had wonderful communication. The house was stocked and beautiful! All aspects of the house were wonderful. The area was amazing! We mountain biked and hiked right out of the door! Great intermediate trails! Close enough to town and walked to beach. We are truly grateful for Liz and this property as we celebrated a our first Thanksgiving without my husband. It made the holiday a little easier. Thank you again!

Hidden Gem

This is what our family calls glamping. The exterior is very rustic and unpretentious. The interior is equally unpretentious, unexpecting with its beautiful, tasteful, and thoughtful design that includes all of the home comforts. This place is tucked away from the mainstream of the neighborhood, allowing you to appreciate and hear the sounds of nature. It's a very easy walk to the lake, as well as an easy drive to the sites and scenery around the lake. The owner, Liz, was communicative and responsive to my questions leading up to our day of arrival. Thanks for sharing your rental, and for making our first VRBO experience a pleasant/wonderful one.

Walking distance to beaches

We enjoyed the proximity to the beaches, especially Moon Dune Beach, which was a large sandy beach, only a short walk from the house. There are many good restaurants close by as well as Safeway for convenience. The cabin is nicely decorated. The heated floors were a luxurious touch! The bathrooms lacked shampoo/conditioner/body wash and we did run out of toilet paper towards the end of our stay. The towels and linens were not good quality. The house, especially the carpets, could use a deep clean. The biggest issue was the mouse that we spotted running around the family room one evening, scared the pants off of me, and made me want to leave, luckily it was our last night there.
