My wife and I were at the cabin for 10 days. I can’t even count how many times my wife asked me how I ever found this place. It was so beautiful! It was a very close drive to everything for the most part. The views were stunning! And there were lots of activities within an easy drive. Our experience was amazing and perfect!

Amazing views from the porch and awesome living room setup where we watched the USA men’s hockey take the gold. Many games to choose from in the game cabinet. Close to the ski resort and some great restaurants. Highly recommend staying here it’s got a lot of charm.

Great Place to Stay

This place checks all the boxes. Well stocked, great view, comfortable seating and very cozy. I'll go back again if I can be assured by the host that there is a repair person listed in his "binder"; there were a few problems and he was out of the country.

Cozy cabin with AMAZING views!

We stayed in this wonderful, cozy cabin for 5 days while visiting Lake Tahoe. It was PERFECT for our family of 4. The panoramic views of Lake Tahoe gave us beautiful sunrises and colorful sunsets. The cabin was well-stocked with everything we might need while traveling away from home. It was in Carnelian Bay, so we had easy access to Kings Beach and Tahoe City as well. The hosts were great and very helpful. This is truly a hidden gem in Tahoe.

The View!!

This is a charming cabin in a gorgeous neighborhood. And the view is spectacular! If you enjoy old Tahoe, as in stone fireplace, stone floor, cozy furniture, and long history of family memories, this is the place to stay! This family-owned cabin has been lovingly cared for, and you can feel the warm memories from the moment you walk in. My husband and I would definitely come back!

Views for the win!

The views of the lake were beautiful all day! We spent a lot of time after our active days on the large deck….which was perfect in the nice and quiet neighborhood. The cozy/rustic house was spacious for our family of four (two teens) and had everything we needed….kitchen well stocked, plenty of linens, etc. Our host, Amy, was very responsive and helpful with questions about both the house and area.

Only good thing is the amazing view. Cabin itself is very dated. Furniture is very old and dusty. If you have any type of allergies, this place will effect them.

Great cabin with even better views!

My family of four stayed at this cabin over Christmas for five days. What a great place! The cabin was super cozy, has amazing views, and the host has fully equipped the cabin with all of the essentials, including firewood. My only complaint would be accessing the parking space and steps to down to the cabin are very icy. Definitely be cautious if you’re staying during the winter. Otherwise it’s a home run.

Yola

Conveniently located, comfortable with pretty partial view of the lake. Well supplied but could use a good cleaning. Closets were messy, personal items, from previous guests, I guess, were left in several drawers, including the upstairs bathroom. We all wished the large window in the living room, with a gorgeous partial view of the lake had a roll-up screen for a better view. Overall, a pleasant stay.

Maria, sorry you did not see the switch on the wall to electronically roll up the screen on the large living room window. You would have loved the unobstructed view.

Clean, tranquil - but beware of the driveway and steps

Lovely little spot with a pretty view. Clean and well maintained. I would alert anyone wanting to stay during the winter months to PARK UP TOP, Do not drive down the driveway! We had the good judgment to avoid the steep, icy driveway down to the house only to read those exact instructions later while reading the binder inside. A little too late to put that in the binder and not any online check-in instructions. The road to the house wasn’t plowed and the road from the highway is steep and could be scary in bad conditions. We were fortunate to have a AWD and clear weather. That said, the steps to the house were all ice and unnerving to navigate without even a shovel available to break it up. Also, recommend turning the heat off at night as the electric room heaters overheat the space no matter how low you try to turn the knob. Otherwise, a lovely house and we appreciated how clean and cozy it was, and we felt like it was good value for the price.

Breathtaking

This house was nothing short of amazing from the huge update kitchen to the cozy but spacious bedrooms and the stone floored living rooms. Don’t even get me started about that view! Everything was breathtaking for our first time in Lake Tahoe. We got married on our stay and the cabin was the perfect place to unwind after a couple of long and crazy days. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home!

A delightful home with a fabulous lake view

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Uncle Gil's rustic cabin. It was nicely appointed, a well equipped kitchen and suited our style. It had a real cozy feel as a home instead of a typical modern rental house. The view of the lake is unforgettable any time of the day and particularly under the full moon. The owners were very helpful. We would highly recommend this property and would definitely return.
