"Loved this classic Tahoe style cabin, so cozy and homey. Views of the lake from the dining area were so relaxing and comforting." -Tzyy-Ling

Located in the heart of North Lake Tahoe, our charming cabin offers the perfect getaway for families and adventurers alike. Our guests enjoy glimmering lake views right from the kitchen, living room and deck after immersing themselves in the beauty and activities in the surrounding area. Here’s what we think makes our home so special:

Home Highlights:
☆ Pet-Friendly: We warmly welcome you and your furry friend.

☆ Prime Location: Ideal for all your lake and mountain adventures.

☆ Outdoor Space: Relax on the large deck nestled behind the pines. Or play fetch with your four legged best friend in our fenced in backyard.

☆ Ample Parking: Plenty of parking available for your convenience.


"The location is perfect! The cabin is right on the main road across from the lake with fabulous views from the kitchen, living room, and the deck! Very convenient location close to restaurants, water sports, and ski resorts!" -Sonya

Our home is a short 4 minute drive from Kings Beach! Perfect for guests who are interested in renting jet skis, kayaks or a para-sail adventure!

We have room for four cars with two short and flat driveways on the property.

STR Permit #: STR23-8359 | Max Daytime Occupancy is 12 (excluding guests 12 and younger); Max Overnight Occupancy is 8 (excluding guests 12 and younger) | Parking: 4 Driveway Spaces - NO STREET PARKING | Quiet Hours are from 9pm - 8am | Placer County's Good Neighbor Policies Listed in House Rules.

HOME TRUTHS:
☆ One of the wheels on the trundle bed is currently damaged. Please use the trundles carefully while we wait on the replacement.
☆ Game Room: Our game room is not located in the main house - just down a path from the front door.
☆ No Air Conditioning: Like most homes in Lake Tahoe, our cabin does not have air conditioning.
☆ Uncontrollable Circumstances: We are not responsible for poor air quality during wildfire season or snow during winter months. Winter travel may require 4WD, chains, or snow tires. We recommend purchasing trip insurance for additional protection.
☆ Peak Season Noise: Our home is located on North Lake Blvd, which can be noisy during peak months.
☆ Sleeping Arrangements: Two of our bedrooms feature cozy trundle beds, best suited for children or young adults.
☆ One lesson we've learned about the great outdoors is the frequent requirement to wipe down the deck furniture. Despite our efforts to maintain the utmost cleanliness for your convenience, it seems that nature is working against us. You may need to wipe down the outdoor table, chairs, and any other outdoor seating. The dust and pollen accumulates within a matter of hours.
☆ Outdoor furniture (including the BBQ) may not be available in the winter months (November - May).

*Furnishings and amenities will be furnished as described whenever possible. In the event that an item is damaged/broken/lost the owner will restock as soon as possible. All items in description/pictures are not guaranteed.*

Tahoe Cohost Collective is not a property manager and is not liable for any injury or damages incurred while staying at the property. All reservations are between the booking platform, the property owner, and the guest.

While we don’t even want to think about your plans changing, sometimes life throws us a curveball. When plans go awry (road closures, winter storms, fire season, etc.), travel insurance can be a godsend. While we don’t recommend one provider over another, Forbes maintains this updated list of "cancel for any reason" carriers for your consideration. We are happy to share a link to this list - just ask!

Family friendly cabin

Property was just as shown, typical traditional Tahoe style cabin!! Bathrooms were modern and updated. Loved that each room had a tv also! Comfortable king bed, nice living room set up! The master does get a little cold, but extra space heaters are provided and really helped! We loved our stay!

Birthday celebration getaway

What a fun house to stay at! This is probably the first time on vacation that my kids didn’t complain about being bored. The house is full of games that we could play together. The location was not in a busy area but was just a short drive to some great restaurants and grocery stores. We would go back again.

Fun stay in Carnelian Bay

We liked the location as it is less touristy than other areas. Cute and comfy cabin to use as our home base. The street noise was a factor but turning on the fan at night helped.

Great house!

Perfect for us everyone had their own room and there are some nice lake views. Be aware that It is on a fairly busy street and there isn’t AC but it stays pretty cool with the fans. W stayed in July in a heat wave and were ok. It has a nice fenced yard for your pet. I’d stay here again.

A hidden Gem!

One of the best Vacation Rentals we have stayed at. Convenient location, homey and comfortable with modern amenities. Kids loved the games on the Infinity Table, good for the young and the young at heart! Hosts are very responsive and accommodating. We will be back!

Amazing

We stayed at the house for 2 weeks and we would have stayed longer if we could. We are already talking about booking here again for next year. There is a great lake view from the deck, I sat there everyday, reading my book. There is also a fenced in back yard, perfect for dogs. We stay in a lot of VRBOs and this one had a lot of pots, pans, baking dishes & mixing bowls - many times we have had to go buy those things, so that was wonderful. All in all, this was a wonderful place to stay & we highly recommend it.

Lovely stay

This cozy cabin was a wonderful place to stay for our mini vacation. I’m glad we rented a cabin rather than staying in a hotel. This place felt like home; it has ambience and character, has very comfortable beds for a good night’s sleep, well equipped kitchen for memorable family meals, and enough rooms for everyone. I brought my parents for a little fun trip and everyone had a great time relaxing and enjoying our time together while having separate rooms for some privacy. Great place for a quick getaway! Highly recommended!

Pleasant Summer Stay

Really enjoyed a week in this cabin with my family. Kids were fans of the huge TVs and the infinity game table. Kitchen is well stocked and well labeled. Wifi worked great. No strange requirements at checkout and check in. Easy comms with the host management. Bathrooms are freshly remodeled. Location is nice — easy drive to Kings Beach and a ton of boat and watercraft rentals. Incline Village and sand harbor are 15-20 mins away. There’s also a park with a massive playground nearby — 5-10 min drive.

Nice house overlooking a busy street

We went there as two couple and a single adult. The house is as described in the listing. Even though it has the sq footage of the place, I thought it’d be bigger. For our group, it felt a little tight. The living room isn’t really set up for more than four people at the most if the TV is on. We spent most of our time on the front porch with a filtered view of lake. It was nice out there and only really hot for an hour when it was in direct sun. The grill was also nice and in good shape. However, the traffic was pretty loud and consistent as mentioned in the listing. We also appreciated the house being dog-friendly but it was a drive to access the lake at all for the dog as it’s all private access within a walkable range.

No AC & Temp inside was over 80

I would not book this house again in the summer if you want to relax. The moment we arrived I communicated with the property manager that the house was extremely hot, and the five small fans provided could not cool the house. The property manager told us to open windows and it would cool off, it did not cool off until after 2 am and if you are a light sleeper like me, the noise from the road kept me up. At 3 pm on Day 2 it was over 81 degrees in the house and the house did not cool off that night. I continued to communicate with the property managers, but they did not offer any assistance. We had to go to a hotel the last two nights of our trip. I am giving it two stars because the house was very well stocked and after some back and forth with the property managers they gave us 1 night’s refund.
