    This cabin is not just another rental house. This is a well loved home. This cabin is a vintage and magnificent Lake Tahoe original. Waking up to the sunrise view out of the big bay living room windows is unforgettable. The window seat overlooks the lake and wraps you in warmth and comfort. The cabin is rustic. Come prepared for Mountain life with all its charm and quirks. Our entire family loved every minute. The charm and energy of this timeless space made us feel close to the majesty of the nature of this place.

    We planned this weekend as a board retreat getaway so we could relax yet get some work done. It was the perfect combination of beach time, working deck space, and comfort to get the job done. Truly a beautiful spot lakeside. We really appreciated all the great beach furniture, floaters, and paddle boards. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We did have some fun furry friends visit us during our stay so keeping things stowed away in their forest environment was super important but it made the stay more interesting.

    If you are looking for a rustic hideaway that is right on the beach on the west shore of Lake Tahoe, this place is perfect for you. We stayed for a week and it was wonderful. The location is full of amenities, not the least of which is the private beach complete with fire pit and furniture, and the fabulous lake views. The younger adults in our group loved trying out the paddle boardds that were available for our use as well as the inflatables that were included. The area is very quiet with an stated quiet time between 9pm and 8am. The kitchen is well stocked, although a bit small, with only a table top oven for baking. And the only table seating is outside, which was perfect for us since we enjoyed eating outside by the lake. I would definitely rent this house again!

    This place is fantastic! The house is quaint, but it's all about the location. Lake front doesn't get better than this! My only complaint is that there wasn't a hot tub. But we survived that hardship and loved every second of our stay on this wonderful property.

    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 rented this house for two nights with family visiting from Ohio and had an amazing time start to finish. The rental agency that handles this was always available to answer my questions and was accommodating with check in and check out times. We had a bit of weather to contend with but watching the thunderstorm pass by on the lake while playing board games in the living room was fun. I can’t recommend this place enough. Definitely old school cozy Tahoe, which is the only way to go in my opinion.

    Loved the location and the huge outside. The beach was rocky ( I wouldn't advertise as sandy beach) Also if you like to cook the kitchen is extremely small (and dated) w/ NO counter space or eating area. However we did truly enjoy our time ! thank you so much!!!

    The house and property were wonderful. The house, though old, was spotless and comfortable. The location was ideal. We were able to kyack, paddle board, play horse shoes, or just sit and look at the lake and read. We had a great time.
