The Red Cabin is unique! It is not the fanciest nor most luxurious place we’ve ever stayed, but it combines its rustic authenticity with a comfortable and well appointed environment. The bed is great, the kitchen has what you need, and the deck! Simply wonderful! The lakeside location and the views are spectacular! Shoutout to Dylan, who was so responsive and helpful. We love it here!

Great Tahoe Gem!

Perfect little cottage on the lake! Easy drive into town and across the street from a couple great hikes for amazing views of the lake. Looking forward to staying here again.

A perfect getaway

We had a great time at the Little Red Cabin. It is a perfect location - far enough from the tourist hotspots to be quiet, but easy and quick to great locations. The property is charming, giving a real rustic cabin feel that takes you away from your normal life. The listing underplays how fun the little beach at the bottom of the stairs is - so nice to sit in the sand and take a dip in the cleanest waters you’ve ever seen. The furniture could use an upgrade, but didn’t take away from how charming the house was. Would recommend whole heartedly.

I was happily surprised by the awesomeness of this property. The location was better than what I was expecting and the cabin itself was very clean and so comfortable. Bed sheets were crisp and clean. There were more towels available than we could use (there were four of us and doggo swimming everyday), there were extra blankets and even surprises such as a stock of seasonings and popcorn. This cabin is right on the water! Views of the sunset over the lake from the living room windows every night. This is a rare and special property on Lake Tahoe. I especially liked its old cabin charm! I will book this property again asap.

Best rental in Tahoe

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: The little red cabin has become a very special place for my family. We have been going there every year in the summer, for several months ears now, sometimes more than once a summer. The sunset views from the deck are incredible, the location is convenient, and the little private beach is beautiful. We love that it is dog friendly and you can’t beat walking down the steps to take a swim with our dog in the crystal clear water. The cabin is built around several pine trees, which adds to the old Tahoe charm. It is expensive, but to my family it’s well worth it for such a special place.

The location couldn’t be better. The cabin is as described, built in the 1920s, so it is quirky and unique. But it has everything you could need, and having the lake on your doorstep is unbeatable!
