A few important things I wish to emphasize while you consider renting our cabin, this is our home which we choose to share with responsible people. We are NOT managed by a corporation, we do not own multiple properties for rent. For those who know the Fallen Leaf area, you know it is QUITE, as it was intended to be, PLEASE RESPECT THE PEACE AND QUITE MY NEIGHBORS KNOW, LOVE AND DESEVRE. If you cannot show that respectyou will be ASKED to LEAVE IMMEDIATELY, NEVER to RETURN. Thank you for understanding. This disclaimer is intended for .001% of the people who have rented or intend to rent our cabin. Please don't let it be YOU.

WILD FIRES: Obviously we have no control of occurrences of wild fire. I STRONGLY RECCOMMEND BUYING INSURANCE TO REIMBURSE YOUR LOSSES IF YOU CANCEL YOUR VACATION, OUTSIDE OF OUR CANCELLATION POLICY, it's cheap.

A wood burning stove is the primary source for heating the cabin and making S'mores, unlimited firewood is provided. NO OUTDOOR OPEN PIT FIRES ARE ALLOWED(don't even think about it), you will refunded and removed.

This small cabin has a peek-a-boo WATER VIEW, 1 bedroom, 1 bath, a queen bed in the bedroom sleeps two, plus two large sofas will sleep kids or two adults. Walk 400 yards to the private Lakeview Corporation dock for swimming, fishing, kayak or stand up paddle board. Many trailheads within a very short distance, i.e. Desolation Wilderness, Angora, Emerald Bay, Mt Tallac. There is an electric oven/stove, a small refrigerator, microwave. This is a true heaven on earth. The beauty is incredible.

    Communication was excellent, check-in was easy (key in lockbox), and cabin exceeded my expectations. I especially enjoyed the vintage kitchen. I had the opportunity to meet the host (Jim) and enjoyed talking with him about the history of the property and surrounding area. Thank you, Jim, for a very memorable experience!

    Check in process was super easy and the place was very cozy and clean! The host provided plenty of amenities and items for guests to use as needed and had clearly labeled everything with easy to follow instructions. They were also very easy and quick to communicate with! My only complaint is the kitchen felt very basic and could use a little upgrade in terms of what is provided for use

    Be prepared for the worst road you've ever been on. Not for sissies. If you are in a hurry, stay home. Fallen Leaf is a jewel for those who want to slow down and have a quiet break.

    Desolation wilderness, Lake Tahoe and Fallen Leaf Lake are so beautiful. We had perfect weather and few crowds after the Labor Day weekend. The cabin is a perfect location to visit them all. Thanks for sharing...

    The cabin was very comfortable with lots of very thoughtful touches. We felt very much like guests in a very nice guest home instead of a customer in a hotel. The vaulted ceilings makes the space feel much larger than what the square footage shows. The hosts/owners are great.

    The property is great for a secluded get away, close enough to go to dinner and/or gambling. We rode our bikes around the area of both lakes for a couple of days. We never got down to the lake to use the paddle boards, etc. but know that they were available w/life vests in the cabin for use. The cabin itself is a little cluttered BUT everything is available for guests to use and it is well stocked with everything from coffee to shampoo. The lack of window coverings in the living room is a little off-putting, we would have liked to have had a little fire a hang out there but we would have liked privacy, it felt too exposed. The table & front porch are delightful for eating out. A couple of things I would change...sheets/pillow cases were set out on the bed, we had to make the bed after a full day river rafting and a late arrival. I've never seen this before nor ever expected the guests to do this on arrival. There is not really a tv, just a monitor with a built in dvd player, even hooking up a laptop to stream anything wasn't possible. The break turned out to be a plus. The owner was VERY responsive when we texted with questions, rarely necessary with instructions posted everywhere. The need for that is understandable, for guests unfamiliar with living in a cabin in the woods, lots of instruction is necessary. All in all a wonderful place and a wonderful stay!

    Host was very clear with rules and expectations for the cabin and HMO regulations. The cabin was wall stocked with all necessary items, even things folks may have forgotten. Will definitely be returning here!

    We had a lovely stay. The location was unbeatable. Jim was kind and helpful . Paddling on the lake was a must. The cabin is much cuter than pictured. Cozy, wooden inside. Good lighting. Tiny Christmas/4th of July tree in the corner, fire burning stove, interesting knick knacks all added to the charm. Comfortable and perfect for our weekend getaway. Thank you Jim.

    I wish that they have more pot & pan to make breakfast. The dishes were not clean. I had to washed them before using. There were ants in the cabin.

    My family and I have stayed here several years running, and we keep coming back because it's fantastic! The owner is super easy to get in touch with and is very accommodating. The cabin has everything you need for vacation. We're looking forward to next year!
