Clean, quiet, spacious, comfortable and central house that had the feel of a cabin in the woods even though it’s located in downtown Tahoe. Could walk to shops and restaurants. Hostess was very kind and responsive and the house was very well stocked with necessities.

Comfy home with an easy walk to the lake

We really enjoyed sitting on the back deck drinking coffee in the mornings and eating dinner in the evenings. Perfect location if you want access to south shore activities, everything is a short drive away.

Our 2014 visit to South Lake Tahoe!

Excellent cabin in excellent location

We were very pleased with the bijou cabin it was right next door to the skating rink which was why we were in Tahoe in the first place. Cozy yet plenty of room we really liked the layout and the back deck and all the amenities. Would definitely stay there again next year for the same event. Thanks again!

Perfect and cozy for two small families

We had two families of 4, with kids ranging from 5-9. This home accommodated us perfectly! The owners take pride in the house and keep it well appointed–far beyond most VRBO-listed homes. This is our second time here and we'll we're already booked for next summer!

Convenient location

We enjoyed our stay at the Rae's Family Retreat Cabin. it is an especially good location for families with young children. It is close to a little playground, library ( you can check our books if you live in California), Safeway and bike park. We enjoyed walking to the lake in the evening to see the sunset but it is not a good spot for swimming. Good value for price paid.
Response from VrboOwner on 21 Mar 2020
Thanks Kristi appreciate you taking time for this. Yes the lake is super high this year so the beach on our side has been very limited. Hope we see you back soon.

Rae's Place Visit

Girls weekend was fabulous. Loved the cabin. Within walking distance of just about everything. Light dusting of snow on mountain tops and cooler weather made us so enjoy the woodstove and the cozy sofa. Heating system worked well too and cabin stayed warm even w/ 20's at night. Walked to the lake every morning, beautiful! Can't wait until I can schedule a warm weather stay.

Another great vacation at Rae's Cabin!

I have shared this house with another family for several summers in a row. The house is such a blessing to our families! It is very well-appointed with so much more than the "necessities"! It's like it's our own cabin because we don't have to pack in all of our stuff like hand soaps, shampoo, etc. Thanks for providing such a great escape for us at Lake Tahoe. We've already booked next year!

It was perfect!

We were celebrating my daughter's high school graduation and we went as a large group of teenagers and 3 parents. The place is great! The house configuration makes for a good separation between the upstairs area and the downstairs bedrooms. They do such a nice job of providing everything you might need, from cooking essentials to bathroom items. Walking distance to the lake and very close to stores and restaurants. We all loved and had a great time!

Two thumbs up

What a find! This great cabin was perfect for our family. We really appreciated the central location, the bikes, the well stocked kitchen, the toiletries provided, and all of the extras the owners thought of. The beds were very comfortable as were the outdoor lounge chairs, and we enjoyed eating our meals together outside. Vikki was easy to correspond with and quick to respond. We've been renting vacation homes for 10+ years and this one was by far the best. Many thanks, we'll be back!

Close to everything!

Loved this home and it's location! Enjoyed hearing the murmur of families camping across the street...enjoyed walking about two minutes to the library one direction and two minutes to the playground/ice arena/pool/community center the other direction. Loved taking my five year old paddle boarding at El Dorado Beach...$25/hour (they also had kayaks and those boats with the bike pedals to rent)...and concrete bleachers for people to watch everything. The house is definitely well-stocked, just bring some food/snacks (if you're eating out). Short drive to go out to eat...lots of places to choose from!

Oh my Gosh, where do I start??! First, the house is ADORABLE...super cozy, super clean, very comfortable. Second, we had a bit of an emergency during our stay and Vikki was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I cannot express our gratitude enough for all she did for us during this scary time. We wish things would've gone to plan on our part, but all in all, we had a fantastic time. We will be back...hopefully sooner, rather than later [depending on my father's recovery time]. A+++ Vikki, you are an amazing human being and we will never forget what you've done for us!
