Come stay in this magnificent home deemed the "LaFaix’s French Cabin"! This family abode has everything you’ll need to enjoy a peaceful and pleasant vacation. With its warm, inviting colors and tones and sun-kissed interior, this ideal mountain cabin lures its guests to enjoy its sublime comforts.
The second floor living room features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, flat screen SMART TV with Roku device and streaming options, large all-in-one entertainment PC, comfy leather sofa. There is also a Murphy bed that folds up into a neat cabinet instead of pulling down from the wall. Off the living area is a separate dining space with a large oak dining set with seating for 7 plus 3 more spaces at the adjacent peninsula breakfast bar. The kitchen has plenty of counter space and a newer smart oven and KitchenAid mixer for your inner pro chef. The kitchen sink overlooks the backyard and deck which can be accessed from the dining room through a set of French doors.
Equally inviting is the home’s expansive, sunny patio, which offers a perfect setting for sun-bathing, grilling and dining alfresco in the shade or simply enjoying the grandeur of the property’s beautiful swaying pines and peaceful setting. With over 500 square feet of elevated deck space the leisure options are limitless! The lot sits adjacent to forest conservancy land so, the forest is literally out your back door!
Home has gorgeous, new flooring throughout including the bedrooms with the primary bedroom housed on the upper level and the other two downstairs. This expansive main bedroom has a plush king mattress on a Lodgepole headboard, large bay windows facing the front yard, a walk-in closet, a small office desk as well as an attached full bathroom with walk-in shower with jetted tub and double vanity sinks. There is also a fold-out twin bed with extra bedding stored in this bedroom or perhaps the closet in the hall.
In the two bedrooms on the lower level there is sleeping for a total of five guests. The back bedroom has an electric fireplace, television with ROKU for streaming and a Lodgepole Pyramid bunk with a full mattress below and a twin up top. The front bedroom has a queen sleigh bed and a bay window for plenty of natural light. There is also another full bathroom with a tub shower combo that is shared by the two rooms and a closet with the laundry.
In addition to the above, home has a two car-garage with a ping pong table and utility sink. In the summer, you can enjoy the swing in the backyard or play a round of Horseshoes!
Only a one mile bike or drive to Kings Beach’s restaurants, shops, lakefront park, sandy beach volleyball courts and Safeway. The backyard has direct access to the trails of the North National Park with more than 100 acres of National Forest. Less than 7 miles to Northstar and only about 17 miles to Palisades.

Just wanted to get away from our usual routine. While we typically stay in S. Tahoe, we did something entirely different. North Tahoe offered so much fun and great things to do in less than 30 minutes. And the cabin and location was central to all the fun things we did! Thank you
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very accommodating for 8 people that stayed. Plenty of room to gather to eat as a group in the house as well as outside on the porch. The Kitchen is phenomenal! They have all the utensils, coffee makers, blenders, to make any breakfast, lunch or dinner. The stove was very impressive, inductive heating with a lot of bells and whistles to fix anything. Over all we were very pleased with our experience.I do want to mention, that upon or arrival, I notices six issues that prevent a very satisfied stay. 1). the garbage disposal was not seated correctly to the sink and spewed water into the cabinet space and kitchen floor. 2). the stove vent and light did not work and would not turn on which prevented adequate vision while cooking. 3). Computer keyboard did not have batteries installed that prevented the use of the computer until I purchase the required 2 AAA batteries needed. 4). The thermostat, of which there are two, turned on the heat at night that made it uncomfortable. We prefer lower temperatures while in bed. 5) the carpet were dirty. 6). Parking is limited to the driveway only with no street parking that forced us to shuffle cars around. No street or garage parking is allowed. All issues were addressed by the rental agency except for the carpets, parking and computer keyboard after we brought them to their attention. It took the rental agency a couple of days to follow-up. In my opinion, the rental management team does not adequately evaluate the rental property with each turn over of users.The rental company did not allow an early check-in or late check-out (11:00 am versus 10:00am) which I view as a lack of service flexibility. they could of easily allowed these request, but elected not to.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A nice place to stay. Clean condition. There were a couple items that needed to be addressed such as the propane tank being empty and no cushions for the lounge chairs. It seemed like the house was in transition for a summer stay.
Our family spent four nights here. The house was in a nice neighborhood between the lake and Northstar. It was a great place to just hang out and enjoy all the snow.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice experience. We were there during a major storm and had no issues at all. The driveaway was cleaned every day, which was awesome, otherwise we probably wouldn't be able to leave the house. The fact that we were able to park inside the garage during this very stormy weather also made things much easier. My only suggestion is to keep some spices/olive oil in the cabinet for guests. I highly recommend this place!
Pros: - location is excellent - 3 min from King's Beach, 15 minutes from North Star - property management was responsive - cozy layout - good internet Cons: - They require a double-digit non-refundable damage waiver purchase. The mention you have to do this through the listing, but they don't mention the price of this in the listing. - The rental contract is extremely long and will take time go through and sign. - Cleaning was not thorough, so things were dirty when we checked in. Sheets were stained, dishes had food scraps, toilet had evidence of prior usage. Since they are charging a hefty cleaning fee, it should look like a commensurate cleaning was done when I check in. - Lots of little things breaking and lots of small annoyances: the blinds came apart, ping pong table was split in two, TV remote didn't work, scuffs on many walls, and wear and tear visible everywhere. Things that shouldn't wobble did, and things that should move didn't. By the first morning, whenever something happened, the collective reaction was what now?. - the heater inexplicably turned on early in the morning overheating and deyhdrating everyone who slept upstairs. We couldn't figure out how to disable this. - bunk bed and upstairs bed are not very comfortable. This place is cute and has potential, but I suggest that property management spend a weekend there as if on vacation and fix all the little things that ended up turning the vacation into handling little chores every couple hours.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was perfect for us. The only issue was the double bed on the ground floor. It wasn't very comfortable for 2 people so one person ended up sleeping in the children's room with her daughter where there was a bunkbed and double bed.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location. A few minutes to kings beach and 10-15 minutes to Northstar. The house is spacious, clean and well stocked.
The cabin was great. It had the most stocked kitchen in a rental I’ve stay at. Great amenities like soap and towels in the kitchen and bathrooms. Backyard was big and a fun place to play in the snow. Plenty of parking for 4 cars. Would love to come back for a summer stay.
