Charming Cottage on Forested Lot With Community Firepit; Near Ski Resort
HOME HIGHLIGHTS:
-4 Bedroom Private Lodge
-Located Steps from Beach
-One Minute Drive to Homewood Mountain Resort
-Community Grill and Firepit
Details: Escape to Owl Cottage 9 for a mountain getaway on Lake Tahoe’s West Shore! Nestled among a forest of majestic cedar trees—and only a quick stroll from the beach—this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom cottage sleeps 8 guests and is the perfect retreat for outdoor adventures. Part of the historic Cedar Crest Cottages, enjoy grilling on the community BBQ, sharing drinks around the firepit, or carving the slopes at nearby Homewood Mountain Resort and Palisades Tahoe. Guests will love starting each morning relaxing on the porches and ending the night by the flickering gas fireplace.
A cozy foyer with stone floors and coat hooks welcomes guests upon arrival. Discard ski boots or beach gear before venturing into the spacious great room, where hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, and built-in wooden bookshelves create the feeling of a refined mountain lodge. The living space’s plush sofa, matching loveseat, and 2 leather armchairs—all set before an impressive stone fireplace—invite guests to settle in for a comfy night of conversation, board games, or reminiscing about the day’s adventures. A wall-mounted Smart TV offers entertainment options for unwinding. Crafting homemade meals is easy thanks to the fully equipped kitchen, boasting cutting-board countertops and high-end appliances. A dining table overlooking the woods offers seating for 6, with additional space for 2 at the breakfast bar. Guests mixing work and play can take advantage of the office’s 2 desks, 3 chairs, and Mac monitor. Off the living space, a covered porch with a 4-seat dining table calls for alfresco meals—or curl up on the soft outdoor furniture for a nightcap in the relaxing atmosphere.
All the home’s sleeping accommodations are on the upper level, starting with 2 guest bedrooms featuring king beds that can be turned into 2 twins—both of the bedrooms boast a Smart TV and 1 has access to the furnished upper-level deck. The third guest bedroom features an inviting king bed and deck access, while a light-filled guest bedroom with a full bed completes the floor.
Owl Cottage 9 has everything guests need for a charmed Lake Tahoe vacation. Easily explore the area with on-site parking for 1 vehicle. For the nearest public beach access, turn left out of the driveway, walk to Fern Street, cross the street, and follow the braided cement path to the beach. Book today!
