Three Bears Cabin (2.5Bed/1B): Dog Friendly, Hot Tub, Curbside pick-up to Alpine

Three Bears Cabin is a quintessential storybook Tahoe cabin designed and built by famed Tahoe architect Burt Anderson (it is rumored that he even lived in this house at one point).

This cozy cabin is perfect for 1 or 2 couples (4 adult maximum) or a family of up to 5 for your summer or winter vacation on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. It is located 3 miles south of Tahoe City in the quiet neighborhood of Pineland, on a well-maintained road that is mostly traveled by local residents (nothrough traffic).

You'll enjoy a fully-equipped cabin with plenty of off- street parking, a large southeast facing wrap-around deck with outdoor dining and BBQ areas and a 6 person hot tub. Inside you'll find a mud room with ski racks and boot & glove dryers, full size washer and dryer, mountain decor and architecture, 39' high definition flat screen TV with cable, TiVo DVR, Blueray DVD player are all available to make your stay feel like home. There is a second flat screen TV, DVR, and DVD player in the loft, making it the perfect spot for the kids to settle in and watch a movie after a long day at the lake or on the slopes. Password protected 100MB wireless internet access is available for all your electronic devices. Central heating will keep you warm and cozy, and a freestanding gas stove in the living room adds extra warmth and ambiance. A large couch, loveseat, and recliner in living room is ideal for settling in to watch the game or a movie before bed. A fully-equipped kitchen, bathroom, and all bedding is provided to make your stay simple and relaxing.

The house is located directly across the street from Ward Creek, and the lake itself is located less than 1 mile away. Popular summer activities include biking, fishing, boating, swimming, paddle boarding, kite boarding, kayaking, canoeing, sun bathing on the beach, jet skiing, etc.

Take a leisurely stroll to four great restaurants: Sunnyside Resort, Firesign, Shadyside, and Spoon. A ski/snowboard rental shop (West Shore Sports), and a mini-mart/deli/liquor store (West Shore Market) are all less than 1 mile away from the cabin.

A half-mile walk will take you to Kilner Park, where you can find beach volleyball, lighted tennis courts, swingsets, sandbox, jungle gym, and the biggest spiral slide in Tahoe! And just across Highway 89, you'll find the beach!

In winter, a shuttle bus conveniently departs from Sunnyside Resort every 30 minutes for pick-up and drop-off at the end of the driveway on its way up to Alpine Meadows' Sherwood lift, which is only 3 miles/5 minutes up the road. Imagine the convenience of not having to get in the car to get to Alpine with the ability to the tram over to Pali! Alternatively, family-friendly Homewood Ski Resort is only 3.5 miles away and world renowned Palisades Tahoe (formerly known as Squaw Valley) is just 12 minutes away. Cross country skiing, backcountry skiing, and snowmobiling is accessible right out of the back door.

In summer, the Tahoe Rim Trail trailhead is conveniently located 1/2 mile away for mountain biking and hiking enthusiasts. Less than 1 mile away, 35 miles of paved bike path makes for great family fun with commanding lake views to the south and Truckee river access to the north. The bike path is also used for roller-blades, jogging, walking or access to the Truckee river bike path for fishing and rafting. For those looking for more of a challenge, try biking up to either Alpine Meadows or Squaw Valley ski resorts from the bike path along Hwy 89.

Tahoe City is a short 3 miles drive where you will find all the amenities expected in a small mountain town: lake-side fine dining, shopping, coffee shops, bars, grocery & drug stores, ethnic food restaurants, movie theater, yoga studios & day spas, fitness clubs, banks, golf courses, bike/ski/snowboard rentals, river rafting, fly fishing, boat rentals, etc.

-We are happy to host ADA-compliant service animals and take service animal fraud seriously, as it is a crime. While disclosure of the presence of a service animal isn't necessary before booking on VRBO, for medical and safety reasons, we kindly request that guests who bring a service animal communicate their animal's presence during the booking process to foster an environment of transparency. Upon your booking and per ADA Federal Laws, California State Laws, and VRBO policy, guests shall answer the two questions permitted by ADA for each Service Animal: 1.

A guest's service animal shall be controllable by its handler, housebroken, and allowed only in the authorized common space areas and the guest's room(s). The service animal shall be harnessed, leashed, or tethered and under the guest's control at all times unless the guest's disability prevents using these devices or these devices interfere with the service animal's safe, effective performance of tasks. In that case, the guest must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls. Service animals are not allowed on any furniture or beds at any time. We retain the right to seek recovery for any damages incurred during a guest's booked stay.
