This little red cabin was originally built in the 1920's and is still owned by the same family. Aside from the kitchen appliances, new TV's, new bedding, and furniture, not much has changed from the 20's when the house was built. You will experience a truly rare vacation staying in this little 3 bedroom cabin.
Step back in time and experience one of Lake Tahoe’s most unique stays—a rare, original 1920s lakefront cabin full of character, charm, and unforgettable views of the lake and Cave Rock.

Perfectly positioned right on the water, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers a small beach (water level dependent), stunning scenery, and a cozy, nostalgic atmosphere you simply won’t find in modern homes.

    The Red Cabin is unique! It is not the fanciest nor most luxurious place we’ve ever stayed, but it combines its rustic authenticity with a comfortable and well appointed environment. The bed is great, the kitchen has what you need, and the deck! Simply wonderful! The lakeside location and the views are spectacular! Shoutout to Dylan, who was so responsive and helpful. We love it here!

    I was happily surprised by the awesomeness of this property. The location was better than what I was expecting and the cabin itself was very clean and so comfortable. Bed sheets were crisp and clean. There were more towels available than we could use (there were four of us and doggo swimming everyday), there were extra blankets and even surprises such as a stock of seasonings and popcorn. This cabin is right on the water! Views of the sunset over the lake from the living room windows every night. This is a rare and special property on Lake Tahoe. I especially liked its old cabin charm! I will book this property again asap.

    We had a great time at the Little Red Cabin. It is a perfect location - far enough from the tourist hotspots to be quiet, but easy and quick to great locations. The property is charming, giving a real rustic cabin feel that takes you away from your normal life. The listing underplays how fun the little beach at the bottom of the stairs is - so nice to sit in the sand and take a dip in the cleanest waters you’ve ever seen. The furniture could use an upgrade, but didn’t take away from how charming the house was. Would recommend whole heartedly.

    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: The little red cabin has become a very special place for my family. We have been going there every year in the summer, for several months ears now, sometimes more than once a summer. The sunset views from the deck are incredible, the location is convenient, and the little private beach is beautiful. We love that it is dog friendly and you can’t beat walking down the steps to take a swim with our dog in the crystal clear water. The cabin is built around several pine trees, which adds to the old Tahoe charm. It is expensive, but to my family it’s well worth it for such a special place.

    Perfect little cottage on the lake! Easy drive into town and across the street from a couple great hikes for amazing views of the lake. Looking forward to staying here again.

    Great location on the lake. Private Beach. Cozy rustic cottage. Saw a big bear out the kitchen window but it completely disappeared when I went to show my family.

    This was my first time staying at a vacation home so I was really going off of the pictures when I was making our sleeping arrangements and I decided to go with this rental as it had more beds than the other one I was comparing it to however it only has 2 queens and a bunk bed; thankfully we were able to make things work however I think that part needs to be updated on the rental post. I love that the rental is pet friendly however the bed sheets on the second floor were covered in dog hairs. I think I would rent this rental out again but make sure to take the rooms into consideration. The easy access to the water was definitely the highlight of the trip. I also had a quick response from the property management when we had a question in regards to the wifi.

    The view is SPECTACULAR from the deck. Master bed is a king and very, very comfortable. Kitchen very well stocked. Minor points: There is a fair amount of road noise. Sofa in living room doesn't seem to match the photos and is not comfortable. Chair in living room was old and had dog hair all over it.
