Cozy place

The cabin was cozy, clean, and well laid out for two of us and our dog. Also, the location is great that it’s close to town and hiking areas but away from noise. Communication and check in/out instructions were all fabulous.

Confortable and Cozy

Stayed for 4 nights. One adult, two kids (6 and 8). Perfect for us. I would recommend no more than two adults. Loved the cabin and location.

Cabin 3

Great experience staying in a tiny cabin home. For finding a place last minute it was not a disappointment. It beats staying in a hotel although we did not get to cook we were able to bring our food back and eat comfortably.

Great Location & Cozy

My husband and I stayed here with our nephew and dog and it was perfect! Not once did the space feel small or cramped and that's saying a lot considering my husband is 6'4 and I'm 5'11. Having the fenced outdoor yard for the dog was awesome; plus it provided storage for our bikes. Just a short bike ride from food, shopping, etc... We would definitely stay here again as the location was great, accommodations were amazing and well, Tahoe is beautiful.
