Bear Haven lies at the edge of an old growth forest, with trails directly behind the cabin. We are thrilled to share that after a 2 year battle to convert Homewood Mountain Resort and ski area to a private club, it now will remain accessible to the public. The resort will be open for the 2025-2026 season and a Gondola and other improvements will begin next summer.

You are renting directly from a long-time owner, no extra fees like management fee, administrative fee, hot tub fees, petfees. The VRBO service fee still applies.
(Taxes include mandatory 10% lodging tax and a new North Tahoe Business Tourist Tax of 2%

So many activities to keep your family busy without ever getting in the car: Ping pong and pool tables in the game room; Hot tub on the back deck; Homewood Mountain Resort and forest open space behind the house, Easy access to the west shore bike path and beach. Guests can hike, bike, mountain bike, build a fort or ski into the backyard when conditions permit in Winter. Full Chamberlands privileges in summer (Father’s Day thru Labor Day).
Bear Haven is the perfect cabin in the woods for year-round indoor and outdoor fun.

Three level rustic A-frame cabin with a remodeled kitchen: new cabinets, double oven, counters, refrigerator gas cooktop and dishwasher. New double vanity in the master bath. Always trying to make improvements to the house so our guests will have an enjoyable stay.

Great house for any season! BEAR HAVEN is the perfect home to gather family and friends for your year-round fun and wildlife viewing. The house is 3 levels: 1st floor has mud room, game room, master (king bed), full bath and laundry room. The 2nd floor has open living room/kitchen, bedroom (queen and twin), 3/4 bath, large front deck and back deck with new spa and 5 burner gas grill BBQ. 3rd floor has two bedrooms (queen and full beds in front; queen and twin beds in back) These share a 1/2 bath, and each has a small deck.

WINTER: Enjoy a 4-day weekend, our guests love to ski at uncrowded Homewood Mountain Resort (walk or ski down Lagoon Road to the South base); then ski into the backyard for intermediate skiers, depending of course on snow conditions.

SNOWPLOWING, we are on the regular schedule for snow plowing, however the contractor has up to 300 homes to plow. If there is a big storm when you arrive you may have to move snow to get into the house. The street plowing may create a berm in front of the driveway

Spring and fall are the best in Tahoe, crowds are gone and wildlife abounds. Park your car and bike or hike in the woods right out the back yard or down the bike path. Our families build natural forts right out the back! Walk or bike to the General Store in Homewood or along the bike path to the beach and Tahoma amenities. Very quiet and peaceful.
Relax in the private hot tub or by one of the warm wood fireplaces!

Summer rentals are weekly with long weekends available early and late. Rates include the famous Chamberlands Club with private beach, pool and tennis courts (about a mile away along the bike path). Dates of operation: Father's Day weekend through Labor Day; 10:30-5:30 (Lifeguard staffing)
Shuttle Bus Service approximately July 1st-August 20th 11:00-6:30pm and passes right in front of Bear Haven. Grandma, grandpa and the young ones can come and go while the older kids hang out at the beach all day!
Guests to the west shore are often confused about the summer amenities here: The amenities are actually two memberships, one to the Chamberlands Beach and Mountain Club which maintains the two private beaches with roped swim areas, lifeguards and summer day and evening family activities. The second is the Chamberlands Recreation Club which includes and maintains entrance to the private heated pool with lifeguards, lounges and private restrooms. The private pool and beaches are integrated into a public pier, bar and restaurant right on the lake.
The origin of these clubs can be confusing. Upon developing the Chamberlands condominiums about 35 years ago, the adjacent homes in Chamberlands I and II were offered a chance to purchase a membership in one or both clubs. The opportunity for the pool/tennis club was once in a lifetime and is linked to the specific home's title. At this time, most homes in Chamberlands maintain a membership in the Beach and Mountain Club, while only a portion of homes have access to the pool and tennis facilities with a hefty yearly fee. We have both. This part of the lake also has a forest service pet-friendly public portion of beach available to other homes in the area (Ex: Tahoma, McKinney, Homewood) which is on the southern edge of this sandy beach area of Lake Tahoe.

We have a camera at the front of the house so we can see the road, trash area and driveway. (for construction parking, trash by the road and snow in the winter).
