Summer is fast approaching plan your Tahoe getaway now, mid week discounts are in place. Come up and enjoy the blue skies and crisp Tahoe waters. Hiking, biking, days at the beach summer in Tahoe is wonderful.

The Reindeer Cabin is an A frame nestled on 2.47 acres of land in peaceful and quiet Christmas Valley. Privacy is yours on both the front and back deck. This cabin is perfect for 2 couples or a small family, there are 2 bedrooms, a loft and one full bathroom, hot tub and dog allowed with prior approval.
As you drive up the private road towards the cabin you will see the A frame tucked into the forest.
Up the stairs to the front porch you access the cabin through the front sliding door. The front porch has a propane BBQ, picnic table.
When you enter the cabin, you immediately will feel at home in this unique mountain themed retreat. There is a cozy couch for watching TV or enjoying the gas fireplace. The dining room table will seat the family adjacent to the well-equipped kitchen, with cool retro looking appliances.
The main level also includes a full bath (shower), stacked washer dryer and bedroom with access to the back decks. Outside you will find a hot tub perfect to star gaze, and a standalone sauna. Since the property is on 2.7 acres, the entire mountainside is essentially yours to explore.
Upstairs there is a loft with a single bed and a AC unit for warm summer days. The second bedroom with private balcony is off the loft with a queen bed and a twin bunk bed (most suitable for children).

If you love to hike, mountain bike, go fishing or just sit and relax this is the perfect spot for you. There are nearby hiking trails, mountain bike trails and it is an easy drive to Hope Valley for further exploration. There is plenty of parking available for your vehicles and if you bring a boat.

Located in Christmas Valley, it is a short drive to the community of Meyers where you will find: The Holiday Market (fully stocked grocery store), The Getaway Cafe, Divided Sky (bar and food), Bob Dog’s Pizza, Freel Perk Cafe, and Sombreros. Just a fifteen to twenty minute drive down Pioneer Trail Will lead you directly to plenty of entertainment, shops in the Heavenly Village and the Nevada side casinos. The family friendly beaches of Lake Tahoe are located along Highway 89 as you head to Emerald Bay (a must see photo spot, but go early in the morning, it gets crowded).
The driveway is a steep uphill, in higher snow country and great tires and or chains required during snow season.

You can see the after effects of the historic Caldore Fire. THANKS TO THE Amazing firefighters stationed at the rear deck, the home was spared and the decks and yard were untouched.

When traveling to Tahoe in the winter be prepared for winter driving, possible road closures and delays in snow removal. You are booking a trip to the mountains so come prepared.
Our snow removal crews work every day, but we have no control over the county road snow plows that clear the roads.
4WD and or chains are always recommended. If you come in a small, low profile vehicle you may have difficulties.
Tahoe has experiences frequent power outages during snow, rain, wind events. We provide lanterns, but sometimes they disappear (or batteries vanish)

    Our first night the hot water didn't work, the fire place didn't work, the oven didn't work and if we tried to use the jets on the hot tub it tripped a breaker. In the morning a repair man came and on day 2 we had hit water and the fire place. The cabin was clean and it was a beautiful location.

    The cabin was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It was in a nice quiet rural location where we could enjoy the peaceful mountainside and take our dog out on nature walks. Conveniently close to lots of pretty hikes to the lake and waterfalls. The mattresses weren’t super comfortable and the AC are portable units that have to go into a sliding door which was a little inconvenient. Would recommend!

    Overall had a lovely stay. My only comment is that it took 2 full days to get the hot tub to temp - wish it would have been left at a better starting temp. Other than that, the cabin was perfect for us and our pets. Thanks.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: We loved the location absolutely perfect, quiet area, but close to everything, hiking, boating, good restaurants. The house was ok but in need of some basic maintenance. 3 out of 4 of us got splinters due to the aging none painted rails. Also the advertising picture is deceiving since it was taken from the back of the home, it did not show 30 something stairs. The mattress on the main level had an odor that was slightly bothersome, in need of some baking soda to neutralize the odor. Sliding glass door was in need of a new track so opening,closing, locking was an issue, And finally it didn't really matter until the evening but we could not get regular TV to work and 2 out of 4 of us are fairly electronically techy. Would recommend with our knowledge of its downsides. It will help us know what questions to ask next time. We will most likely use the same company as they were very attentive and able to fix the two things we called about. They also recommended great pet friendly trails....

    Rating Details: The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place could use some tlc. The slider is very hard to open,screen door doesn’t close. Dirty windows, ledges. In need of painting inside and out. Deck in need of repairs/paint. Feels very dark and dingy inside

    My hubs, I, and our two ridgebacks absolutely loved this place! We have been coming to Tahoe for a decade to hike. We generally like to rent a different place for a new experience, but I think we found the ultimate adventure home, so we will be booking again next year if available. The gorgeous A-frame abuts the forest so you can relax in privacy. It is situated perfectly close to the Tahoe hikes, but also close to our favorite places near Kit Carson and Markleeville. Even though I always bring my dogs w me, I hate dog hair and normally end up cleaning the cabin upon arrival, but this place was spotless. The jacuzzi was super clean, and while we didn’t use it, the place also comes with a sauna. You can take a short walk into Meyers for food on a dirt trail that connects to a bike trail. You do not hear a peep from the neighbors, as the property is on 2 acres. I felt the previous reviews about the snow in the driveway and the stairs to the place were not fair. The reviews made it sound like you had summit a giant driveway and multiple staircases. Possibly if you are of advanced age or suffer from a severe disability, then the stairs or driveway would be problematic, but the reality is that Tahoe gets snow in winter and they had 600 ft this year. Occasionally there will be weather challenges in the mountains, but it should not be something to dissuade you from this incredible cabin. Loved LOVED this place! Thank you for hosting us!
