About this property

Your home away from home, nestled in the forest but close to everything!

Tahoe is pet friendly and so are we! This inviting cabin is located in Tahoe Vista right off of highway 267, just minutes from Kings Beach and Northstar. The neighborhood is very quiet and the house is located right next to one of the Tahoe National Forest’s great hiking, biking and snowmobile trails. If you are looking for a spot nestled in the woods for your family or just with friends, this is it! You feel like you've really gotten away from it all being surrounded by the trees in our quiet neighborhood. It is a spacious home with an updated kitchen, idealistic gas fireplace and large living and dining area – perfect for families or a group of friends looking to unwind in beautiful North Lake Tahoe. Beautiful outdoor deck out that wraps around front the front of the house and onto a back deck that looks into the forest complete with lounge chairs and and outdoor dining set (only accessible during the summer/fall).

Whether you are headed up to ski or to hike or just to enjoy all that Lake Tahoe has to offer, our simple cozy home has all that you need. We are so close to all the hustle and bustle of the lake and even the Village at Northstar or Truckee but know that when you come back to your home away from home all you will experience is that quiet of the wind blowing through the trees, the birds chirping and the chipmunks and squirrels chasing each other.

Check in time is at 4pm and check out at 10:00am, if no other reservation is directly before or after yours I am almost always able to extend those times at no cost.

The three bedrooms can easily sleep six, four adults and two kids in the twin bunk beds (bunks not meant for anyone over 80 pounds). There is also a queen-sized pull out sofa in the loft area that sleeps an additional two. There are two full-sized bathrooms, one upstairs and one down.

*** NO GARAGE ACCESS ***

Entertainment features include a gas BBQ located off the side of the house that is covered for use all year round. Also included is a TV and BlueRay player with Netflix (NO CABLE OR SATELLITE OR LOCAL OR PREMIUM TV CHANNELS) as well as an assortment of BlueRay discs and board games to choose from. Because we are back in nature the cellular service is spotty AT BEST. We offer free wifi and you can enable wifi calling on your cell phone or text the home number to someone you need to speak with and they can call in (just no outgoing long distance calls). It's a nice way to unplug (as much as possible) and get away from it all. Enjoy!

We are not responsible for weather related issues like road closures, power outages and WiFi outages. These are out of our control and are not guaranteed. Last minute cancellation due to these issues is subject to approval and will incur a fee to be deducted from any potential refund.

Great Place!
It had everything we needed! Fireplace, close proximity to Northstar and woods behind it! Only complaint would be to have some shampoo and conditioner.

About the host

Hosted by Cara Battino

Host profile image
Growing up in the Bay Area we have spent countless summers and winters up in Lake Tahoe. It was always a dream of ours to own a place up there so we could enjoy it as much as possible ourselves and to be able to share it with family, friends...and YOU!

Why they chose this property

We knew we wanted to be in North Shore but the question was where. After looking at multiple homes in Kings Beach, Carnelian Bay and Tahoe Vista we came across this house and knew we had found 'the one'. The location of this house is perfect, close enough to several ski resorts and beaches and all the hiking trails you could want. Plus all the essentials are a quick drive down the highway. But the neighborhood is just peaceful, we really feel like we get away from the hustle and bustle of the Bay Area when we come up.

What makes this property unique

Situated in an ideal location, our cabin backs onto the North Tahoe Regional Park which offers an array of outdoor activities like Nordic skiing, mountain biking, hiking trails, and even a dog park. Just a short walk away, you'll find the picturesque Lake Tahoe, perfect for tranquil walks and water activities.
