**DOGS CONSIDERED**

This adorable, olde-Tahoe style cabin is conveniently located on Lake Tahoe's West Shore so you won't miss out on any of the local action. In the Sunnyside area just a couple of miles south of Tahoe City, Fir Forest Cottage is within super easy walking distance to the Lake, bike and paddleboard rentals, a variety of restaurants and a great little neighborhood market.

The immaculately maintained cabinhas 3 bedrooms, each with a Queen bed, and accommodates up to 6 guests. The family dog is also welcome with prior approval.

Enter onto the first floor with the cozy living room featuring leather couch and love seat, flat screen TV and pellet woodstove; adjacent dining area complete with wet bar; fully-equipped kitchen with laundry facilities; one Queen bedroom; and a full bathroom in the hallway.

The second level holds two more Queen bedrooms with a full bathroom between. Please note, this bathroom has a bathtub but no shower equipment.

Out front, there’s a 1 car garage and paved driveway for 2 more cars. Out back, there’s a spacious deck with a picnic table and benches and a gas grill (available in summer only).

From this central West Shore location, it’s easy to get out and explore the gorgeous scenery and outdoor activities that make Lake Tahoe famous. World-class skiing and snowboarding is just minutes away at Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows and Homewood Mountain Resort. A paved bike path leads north into Tahoe City or South towards the town of Homewood. Take the easy hike up to the top of nearby Eagle Rock for a full view of the lake. Three mind-blowingly beautiful state parks are a short drive south – Sugar Pine Point, DL Bliss and Emerald Bay.

In short, at Fir Forest Cottage you’ll get the best of the quaint Olde Tahoe vibe with an unmatched location from which to enjoy all the best of Lake Tahoe. West Shore, Best Shore!

    Check in was easy and kitchen was fully stocked. The location of the property is great for all the fun summer activites (water sports, hiking, biking, etc.). The house is dated but very clean and well kept!

    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: We loved our stay at Fir Forest Cottage and would definitely return. The location is amazing. It's only about a block down to the beach. The house had plenty of space to hang out after we got back from all of our outdoor activities. The back patio was spacious and just a pretty area to hang out. The kitchen was very well stocked. We also appreciated the beach chairs that were left in the garage. All in all, a great stay and a house that we would love to return to.
