Welcome to Rainbow Cabin, our happy place in Kings Beach! Just a short stroll to Lake Tahoe's shores and local restaurants, this modern 5 (or 6!) bedroom retreat blends comfort with playful charm.

With thoughtful touches at every turn and spaces designed for both togetherness and privacy, our home invites you to create lasting Tahoe memories.

"Amazing host! Beautiful home and perfect for our mom's getaway. We loved every second!" - Layne

I designed Rainbow Cabin from the ground up as the perfect year-round retreat for families and friends wanting to experience the best of Lake Tahoe. What I love most is how it balances togetherness with privacy - our bright, open living area with its cozy fireplace naturally draws everyone together - while five (or 6!) uniquely decorated bedrooms offer peaceful retreats when you need some downtime.

FINAL THOUGHTS
I built this house with my husband, selecting every finish and feature ourselves. We designed it using an eco-friendly building method that creates less waste, and the whimsical decor reflects our belief that vacation homes should feel special and joyful. I take pride in being responsive and attentive to my guests' needs - I may be in St. Louis, but I'm always just a text away!

Whether you're planning a ski weekend with friends, a summer beach vacation with family, or a shoulder-season hiking retreat, Rainbow Cabin offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and convenience. Many guests tell me they appreciate our "happy house" vibe and often book return stays for different seasons.
Come experience Lake Tahoe from our colorful, comfortable home - we can't wait to host you!

Check-out instructions

The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
DON'T strip or make your bed! BUT if you could help us distinguish USED beds versus CLEAN, that would be great! Then our cleaners only wash dirty linens - saving significant water, energy and time
Collect all used towels and pile on bathroom floor (or bathtub or sink). They always look at the towels/beds, but it makes it easier on them if you can clearly distinguish clean from dirty!
Collect all the trash and put it in the bearbox and/or the garage. That's it! Thank you for your help!
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

Our family had an amazing time at this place. It was spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and incredibly comfortable. The location was perfect, with the lake just a few minutes’ walk away, along with restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping centers. The owner was incredibly responsive and made the check-in process incredibly easy. We can’t wait to return!

The house was as described and deserves the flawless rating. It is deceptively large, our family of 9 slept comfortably in the house and enjoyed the common space and back yard. Convenience to the beach is unmatched. The goal was not to be in the car and we achieved it easily!

Great house

We had a great stay! The house was really spacious and comfortable. There was plenty of room for our group of 6 adults and 4 kids. The location can’t be beat, close to everything including the lake. The house was also well stocked and had everything we needed. We loved using the grill! We will stay here again.

Five Stars for Rainbow Retreat

We try to visit Tahoe annually with our kids and grandkids. This year was amazing. Rainbow Retreat is a very short walk to Kings Beach. Just across the main road. In fact people park around this location to access the beach. Our stay was amazing. Location is great but the home is special. New construction with all of the amenities.

Rainbow Retreat

I’ve been renting family vacation houses for 32 years and this one is in the top 3. Almost every bedroom has a bathroom, the location is close to activity, easy walking distances for a busy family meeting friends, nicely appointed kitchen for cooking - checked off nearly all my boxes. Would definitely rent it again! Thank you for a clean and cared-for property.

Great house in North Tahoe!

House was great! What you see in pics is exactly what you get. Grill & fire pit in back was nice. Location couldn’t be better. Just 5 minutes out front door. Safeway less than a mile away so you can pick up your groceries & alcohol there. Highly recommend this rental!

Wonderful stay in beautiful new house

So many things to love about this property! The beach is right across the street, and the sunsets are gorgeous. Very quick access to Northstar, Truckee and Incline Village. We found a new place to hike each day. The house is exactly as pictured and filled with amenities that make it feel like home. We cooked an entire Thanksgiving dinner for 8! Living area is well suited for playing games or hanging out. Beds and pillows are super comfy. Highly recommend!

Great for 2 families!

This house was perfect for two families to stay for the week. Total of 4 adults and 5 kids ages 9, 7, 5, and 2 yr old twins. The two master bedrooms made it a plus for the adults. Easy access to King’s Beach and restaurants as it’s only 1 block off the main road. There’s even a cute little library at the end of the block that the 2 year olds enjoyed. Hiking trails a few blocks behind the house. We had no issues with parking 2 cars. Would absolutely recommend if you’re looking to stay near King’s Beach!

Rainbow Cabin a delightful, modern and impeccably-equipped big family home

Our family loved the space, fully-equipped and brand new Rainbow Cabin. With 5 bedrooms and 4+ bathrooms, everyone had space to spread out and enjoy the well-appointed home. The kitchen had everything we needed to make several dinners, lots of games and puzzles and the fireplace and living room as so cozy. Great to have a garage to keep the car snow-free and warm in the morning. This house is great for 2 families and even has a hang-out room for the kids. Highly recommend Rainbow Cabin and the location is ideal to walk to the lake, grab coffee and food, and convenient to any part of the lake.

Rainbow Cabin

Our stay at Rainbow Cabin was so delightful! The Cabin is beautiful, well stocked, above and beyond expectation. The owner thought of everything. They made us feel like family. No detail was missed. The interior of the cabin was clean, inviting and spacious. The large dining table is great for mealtime, playing games or catching up on some work. The beds were very comfortable. Loved the colorful whimsical artwork. The whole vibe of the house is chill and fun! Enjoyed the back yard with its nice patio and fire pit. We made s’mores. If you love hiking this is the perfect spot. Easy to more challenging hikes are just pleasant scenic drives from the cabin. Loved this area of the lake! Laid back, less congested, short walk to the beach and restaurants made it ideal for us. We will only stay at Rainbow Cabin on our future trips to Lake Tahoe.
