This studio cabin with a covered front porch feels spacious and makes a great home base - for activities inside and out. Without starting an engine, you can enjoy all the activities of the Lake from a private or public, grab a slice of pizza and brew, feast on a mouth watering steak and cooling down while enjoying a frozen treat at a Tahoe landmark.

My husband and I had an amazing stay! We were trying to do Tahoe on a budget and this was perfect! The host was very kind and let us check in two hours early at no additional cost. The private beach access was the highlight of our trip. Not having to deal with the crowds and simply walk across the street to the beach made things so easy! Most VRBO's we've stayed in have a little more equipped in the kitchen, but we left behind coffee filters and foil for the next vacationers! Overall, this was perfect and we would absolutely stay again. It was 15-20 mins from everything we wanted to do like hikes, the east shore trail, and a float trip out of Truckee River Rafts. There's also a pool for the lodge that is heated and open for your use!
Newly remodeled, quiet area, 5 min walk to the lake, great location to ski resorts and dining, quick responses if you have questions, and easy check-in and check-out. I highly recommend!
