The cutest, coziest cabin in all of Tahoe. Lovingly remodeled to preserve its 1940s charm, this two-bedroom gem blends vintage character with modern comfort. Steps from Lakeside Beach, the rec center, pool, bowling, yoga, and ice skating rink — a perfect home base for easy, family-friendly Tahoe fun.

This home has comfortable sleeping & dining for a family of 4. Parking for 2 vehicles in the driveway. This applies 24/7.

Equipped with a beautifully updated kitchen, where mornings start with coffee on warm wood floors and evenings end around home-cooked meals. Granite counters and new appliances make cooking a pleasure, and the kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots, pans, and utensils. Each bedroom feels like a cozy retreat, thoughtfully decorated with heavy pine furniture, soft quilts, and warm lighting that perfectly complements the cabin's timeless mountain charm.

The living room is made for cozy family nights. Gather around the gas fireplace insert, sink into the sofa or one of the comfy chairs, and unwind with a favorite movie or show on YouTubeTV. Log in to your own Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Sling, AppleTV+, or other streaming service.

This home does not have air conditioning.

This home shares a driveway with a separate one-bedroom cabin on the property. When parking, please keep vehicles on the right side of the driveway close to the home. The two homes are fully private and independent, with no shared living spaces.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I had such a wonderful time and this perfectly cozy little cabin! It was just the right size for us (2 adults and 2 small kiddos). We had a small hot tub heater snafoo and called the number on the fridge and they were quick and helpful in solving our problem. The place was very clean, and had everything you need to feel at home! Will definitely be staying here again. Thanks

    What we liked was that the cabin is located close to the lake, close to restaurants and shopping, yet in a very calm old neighborhood, where I could take the dog for a walk without being run over, as well as close to parks and open nature areas. The cabin is small, but perfectly accomodating for a weeks stay. It is also close to the ski-sport area!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cozy cabin was just right for our active family of 4. Very clean. It was in the perfect location for walking to see the lake, or walking to get coffee or ice-cream. Quick drive to everything else. The private backyard & hot tub was nice. We saw a bear stroll by early one morning from the front porch. Great hiking in Lake Tahoe area & aqua blue water secluded beaches to hike to just a short drive away.

    We knew this was a pet friendly place. But a bunch of reviews reported how clean it was. It smelled like they vacuumed with a full vacuum. It just blew the dust and dirt around. My 6 year old who has seasonal allergies but is managed with a single kids Claritin daily wasn’t sitting in a chair for less than 30 minutes and started sneezing and was covered in dog hair. His eyes got puffy and started getting welts all over. He’s been around dogs before and never had a problem like this. To make it through the night I had to load him up on Benadryl. There were signs everywhere saying no dogs on furniture. Dog hair was visible on bed sheets. We complained to the property rental company and they dropped off a brand new vacuum and fresh bedsheets. They also offered a discounted price for our stay. Not worth me spending one day of my vacation cleaning a house that wasn’t mine and still getting charged even a cleaning fee. My sons allergies were much better once we cleaned. I wish I could post the pictures. I regret booking this place. Pros: hot tub *with strict time restrictions Water pressure was great Close enough to the state line Nice neighborhood Cons: Noise Aware decibel sound measuring in the house to make sure you aren’t to loud but they report it’s “100% privacy compliant” (that’s too Big brother for me) Mattresses were old and very springy No dishwasher I’m really sad to post this but it’s the truth.

    It really is COZY and was great for 4 people. It's very pretty and nicely decorated. I loved the washer/dryer in the bathroom so we could easily keep up with dirty clothes. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. The hot tub was nice and big with good jets. The beds were comfortable and fairly firm. Thanks so much for everything!

    Cozy cabin and excellent location. Very well kept interior. The hot tub was a treat after a long day of skiing. Has everything you would need in the kitchen. Would definitely stay again.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the hot tub in the back, the cozy living room, and the kitchen was wonderful and perfect for a ski weekend with a few friends.We disliked the amount of notices about the hot tub and late hours - we felt like we were being watched the whole time. And a 10PM curfew felt a little early, especially if we are just relaxing after a long day. The other issue was the trash - there was no indication of where to recycle and this troubled us. I hope a situation can be worked out for future guests as this will be a real problem!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was quaint, well taken care of, and very cozy. The hot tub worked beautifully. The bed situation is completely mislabeled on Air B&B though, there are only 2 queen beds total in the house. I think the couch could pull out for a third sleeping arrangement, but it was definitely only a 4 person cabin with the size of the space. There was also a second cabin a right behind us, where people were staying, which we didn’t know about. We shared the backyard with these people, so a lot less private than expected. Overall 8/10 experience.
