This cabin is perfectly described tucked away in Tahoma away from the busy lights but close enough to trek to near by towns like Tahoe City. The backyard was great for our dog to sit out there and enjoy the sounds of nature. I would stay here again for sure.
The neighborhood where the cabin is located feels like home. The neighbors are welcoming, and one of them even helped us when our dog got out.The location of the cabin was ideally close to trails and the Tahoma market an espresso shop and other small locally owned stores.

My husband and I spent five nights at the cabin in Tahoma. We had scheduled activities in both South Lake Tahoe and outside of Truckee so staying in the middle of the west coast was ideal. The proximity to Sugar Pine State Park gave us an ideal spot to launch our kayaks. The neighborhood was quiet and the Tahoma market was close so we could pick up needed items. We would love to be able to make this a regular destination!
The home was clean, comfortable and well stocked with basic necessities. The back yard was perfect for our family dog. Very nice neighborhood markets along the roadway along with the grocery store in Tahoe City.

Thank you for your kind words, Donna. We are so glad to hear you had a great time! You’re welcome back anytime!
We stayed here with our 19 year old son. He slept on the pull out couch. Great location, two miles to wonderful skiing at Homewood. Great communication with owner and no problems.

It’s our pleasure to host Heather and her son. They are great people, very friendly and respectful. Highly recommend!
The property is close to everything. We spent the mornings of our weekend stay at Meeks Bay for scuba diving activity. Found the perfect brunch spot: Cult Burger. The Where We Met coffee and ice cream place is a must visit when you're in the area. We tried 3 flavors and they are all good! In the afternoon, we drove up north to Homewood to check the area for the upcoming boat show in August and Tahoe City shopping and sightseeing. We bought wine and stuff for dinner at the nearby Market and Deli (they have good pizza, too!)

Wow, that’s an awesome shot—thanks for sharing it! We loved hosting your lovely family and truly appreciate your kindness. We can’t wait to welcome you back again!
The place is exactly as described. I agree with comments that say kitchen has minimal amenities. Frig is awkward to open. However back yard patio is nice, bathroom bedroom fine.For two guests it works great
Everything was great except the kitchen is not that well stocked and the pull out sofa is the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept on

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your positive feedback. We're sorry for any issues you faced. As noted in our listing, we offer a queen bed and a full-size sofa bed, suitable for couples or couples with young children. If we had known in advance that your group included four adults instead of two, we could have helped with better arrangements.
We wish you had reached out to us directly so we could have addressed your concerns during your stay. Your feedback is valuable to us and helps improve our services for future guests.
We loved the location of this little house. It is on a quiet street but close to Lake Tahoe, Tahoe City, and some great state parks. The kitchen was well equipped and the back yard was nice. However, the couch had stains on it as did the mattress pad. If there were a new couch and bedding we would stay here again.

We wanted to find a place that was close to hiking trails. We choose this place for 2 reasons. 1. It was in our price range 2. It was close to hiking trails and emerald bay. The place is 10-15 minutes from a number of different trails and to a fantastic 6 mile walk around Emerald Bay. It is 5 to 6 minutes away from a small but well stocked grocery store. We had all we needed as far as comfort and the right kitchen utensils to make dinner. Amy was very available and does a great job of providing a place for us to choose.
I love, love, love having choices as far as places to stay!
