Perfect cabin in a perfect spot

Our weekend stay at Honey Bear cabin was wonderful. The location is perfect — in a quiet residential area close to the lake with easy access to hiking and water activities. The cabin is extremely cozy and well maintained. We highly recommend this property!

Family vacation gone very well

Cabin was exactly as described, perfect. Very clean, very comfortable, great location. Really quiet for the time we where there. All of the necessary plates, silverware, etc. was provided. Outside deck was great, good bbq to use. Nice surprise was the beach chairs and towels that were in the cabin for our use. And yes, we did use them. Just an all around enjoyable and relaxing time. Highly recommend this cabin and of course, visiting Lake Tahoe.

Great Experience!

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: This cabin was perfect for my ski weekend away, it had everything I needed. The whole place was so cozy and every couch and bed was super comfortable! Only thing I would note is that the street is quite dark at night so if you plan on driving around at night just make sure you have good headlights!

Great base camp in North Tahoe

Well located among tall trees in a neighborhood of homes minutes from the lake and 20 minutes from Truckee. Huge deck with a nice grill is great any time of day. The cabin is a bit dated and seems pricey compared to other VRBOs for what you get, but maybe that’s the area. The management company was outstanding, great communication throughout. Don’t miss paddling from Sand Harbor (kayak and board rentals on the beach, get there early), the rocks and water to the south are spectacular. Emerald Bay is an easy drive too, and Rubicon Peak was steep but worth it.

WYSIWYG

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cabin and location were great for a last-minute winter getaway. The cabin is old but well-maintained and warm. Only quirk is the arming/disarming of the bear deterrent system (electric fence). Better to have one than not, I suppose. We really enjoyed evenings by the fireplace.

Average old house

Nothing special about a very old house. A time capsule from the 70s with dirty patio furniture, single pane windows, old shower fixtures, a plywood repaired entry door and more: an overall beaten up mediocre facility. Luckily we didn’t spend much time in the house. Typical Tahoe cash cow belonging to someone who can charge +$500/night indefinitely without remodeling the house. As long as there are people visiting every day of the week they’ll keep going.

The location is fantastic - we hiked, kayaked and played pickleballl, all within very close proximity. The cabin was clean and fully equipped and the beds were very comfortable. The correspondence was quick and instructions were clear for check in and check out.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rental was clean and worked out well for our family of 5. It also included some beach chairs and an umbrella in one of the closets which we really appreciated. Some ideas of areas to improve-cooking dishes and utensils need replaced/added to and a few fans would have been great. Overall we would stay here again. The location was great and a good middle ground for the east and west side of the lake

Great Stay at 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: We rented the Honey Bear Cabin (no actual bears showed up, thankfully) for a few days prior to the "America's Most Beautiful Bicycle Ride" around Lake Tahoe on June 5th, 2022. The cabin was perfectly situated along the north shore near shopping, restaurants, beach activities etc. The cabin was in perfect condition, all needed amenities were provided. An ice maker or at least some ice trays would have been appreciated; however, they left us two small bags of ice and we just rationed that and it was enough. The cabin was perfect. No complaints. Oh, maybe a Keurig coffee maker would have been nice. Would definitely rent this cabin again !!

Nice Place

This was a nice place and we enjoyed our stay here. We would have liked it even more if there was cable TV. We also could not find kitchen scissors. Also, there is a long carpet that leads to the patio. The patio door would not open because the carpet blocked the door. We had to pull it away from the door in order to get out. It also bunched up constantly and was a tripping hazard. Other than that, it was a great place - very close to Kings Beach and some other less-crowded beaches that we enjoyed. Speedboat Beach was our favorite! Very small but very beautiful.

Cozy cabin close to lake

We really enjoyed our stay at this small cozy cabin and would stay there again. The amenities and things available were thoughtful and I would say the house is well stocked. We were the first guests with the new listing so maybe that played a part. The property manager was very well spoken, responsive and helpful before and during our stay. We found that for a party of 4 with two kids of seperate genders, we would have preferred if the second guest room had two beds or bunks or if the upstairs area was open to use but to be fair the listing was clear about this (kids ended up kicking us both nights...LOL). That being said, the wooded back porch, grill, proximity to lake and privacy of this cabin won us all over. I spent an evening just staring out at the old and tall pine trees visible from the glass windows in living room.
