Wonderful

This was the most cozy spot for a fall getaway. Surrounded by huge pine trees on a quiet street. We could walk to the beach and a great breakfast spot. Quick drive to restaurants and activities.

Cozy cabin great location
A short walk to beach with kayak and paddleboard rentals
The Cabin is clean and very comfortable. We had a great stay and I would definitely stay again! The only minor drawback is the kitchen that is not super well supplied with pots/pans.

Small house charm
This house truly has a camping vibe and small cabin charm about it. The location was absolutely perfect and for three people, the small size worked. The front deck was “the spot” for morning coffee, and was the highlight of the house.
Property was as listed and accurately described. Was here for a weekend during a snowstorm. Property was well equipped and stocked as needed, everything we needed (kitchen/cookware), were all there. Place was comfortable and warm. Would stay here again!

Excellent!
We had such a lovely stay! It was the perfect place for our weekend getaway. It was clean, we thought the beds were decently comfy, and the bathroom was amazing! We really appreciated the heated floors in the early morning. It was close to the water and we walked down frequently. We also were able to walk and enjoy some of our favorite local eateries. We would definitely stay there again when visiting north shore. Thank you so much!

Perfect
This place will forever be my home away from home. Every single thing was perfect. Right around the corner from the lake and Main Street. Neighborhood was quiet and serene. Kitchen hade every utensil and dish that I needed to cook for me and my wife. Would suit a family of 4 easily. I chose to sleep upstairs because of the huge skylights. What an amazing view. In all of my searching in the area, this was undoubtedly the best I could’ve ever imagined. Thank you owners and Vacasa, for making this trip absolutely perfect in every way.

Nice N. Lake Tahoe location
We stayed 4 nights and enjoyed exploring the beautiful area of N. Lake Tahoe. The main bed was wonderful, as was the fabulous bathroom. Unfortunately, the twin beds in the second bedroom were horrible. We both tried them and woke up with back pain, forcing one of us to sleep on the sofa. The kitchen was well stocked, but we weren’t able to cook as planned because all but one pot was un-useable. The photo of the property is very misleading. It’s actually located in a dense residential area. And, unfortunately for us, there was a sewage spill right across the street, which required the use of loud heavy equipment late into the night.

Cute cottage in need of repairs
Cute but neglected. Upstairs beds sagging and uncomfortable. Bifold door in front of washer only leaned against machine so when you try to open, it falls on you!!! Sheets in the master tired and thread bare with HOLES. Five guests but only provided 4 bath towels and two hand towels. Safety railings on upstairs loft loose. Bedroom door is coming apart and sticks. Dishes not clean (greasy).
