About this property

Get Away Retreat


Our Little Gray Cabin is tucked inside Northshore's quintessential Tahoe Vista neighborhood...just steps away from sunny Moon Dune beach, just minutes away from powdery slopes and just waiting for you and yours to create and capture great times and incredible memories.

We've owned our Little Gray Cabin since 2000 and have recently opened the doors for others to enjoy the wide-open deck, the easy stroll to town, adjacent hiking trails, beach proximity and overall Lake Tahoe wonders.

This quaint cabin is perfect for a couple’s getaway or for a memorable family retreat. The cottage interior details and period-relevant furnishings enhance knotty pine walls, stonework and hardwood flooring.

Crack open the board games, stroll through the adjacent meadow, wander over to the golf course or cuddle in front of the wood-burning stove while taking in the views of the surrounding forest. Prepare meals in the retro well-equipped kitchen or walk to nearby fine or casual dining. Spend your time lounging on the sunny deck or stroll to nearby Moon Dune beach. For Winter guests, Northstar and Diamond Peak resorts are a short drive. Non-skiers who still enjoy the seasonal outdoors can pack in a fun day of sledding at the North Tahoe Park National Ave., that's five minutes away by car.

The downstairs bedroom features an antique double iron bed with cozy patchwork Pottery Barn bedding. The upstairs loft has three twin beds and a TV/DVR for guest(s) who want to sneak away from the downstairs crowd watching separate programming on the larger television.

This cabin oozes warmth, privacy, charm and all just two city blocks from Tahoe Vista's treasured Moon Dune beach. Start your memory making with a parasailing adventure, kayak rentals, golf, mini-golf, a scenic hike, nearby skiing or just a good book on a sunny deck or in front of a warm fire.

Step back in time and enjoy the way life should be.
Let the memory making begin.

Perfect Summer Get Away

My daughters, friend, and I had an amazing Girls' Weekend. The cabin is adorable and provided the perfect setting for all of us to catch up and relax. We enjoyed a hike right from the cabin and were only minutes from Kings Beach and restaurants. I can't wait to stay again!

A Tahoe Treasure

This is one of our favorite places period. The cottage is clean, warm, and cozy. We love using this as home base when we come to Tahoe to ski. The kitchen has everything you need to fix a big meal and we love having laundry facilities so that we can thrown in a load when we come home from skiing.

Cozy Cottage

What a great ski getaway for our family. The cottage was a close drive to both Diamond Peak and Homewood. After a day of skiing, we enjoyed making a hearty meal in the well-equipped kitchen and spending the evening watching shows and playing games. The cottage is super clean and we loved the decor! Communicating with the owner was easy and quick. We would definitely come back again!

What a cabin should be!

My wife and I spent a long weekend here. It was her first trip to the Tahoe area and really wanted a mountain cabin experience. The cabin is wonderful. Wood burning stove, cozy kitchen with everything you need. The lake just across the street and wonderful hiking out the door. Kelly was great and provided wonderful insider advice on dining and the area. Will be coming back soon we hope.

Perfect North Shore Stay

Perfect spot for two long time girlfriends to have a get away weekend. Could have easily had another 2 friends stay with us. We enjoyed walking to a trail just down the street, driving a few minutes to Incline Village for a spectacular hike overlooking the lake, burgers and beers in King’s Beach and walking on the beach. Loved the retro vibe of the cabin decor. We cooked dinner and breakfast every day and found the kitchen had everything we needed. All the comforts of home are here…Plenty of blankets and towels, comfy beds, furnace that heats up quickly, and a nice hot shower. We would stay here again!

Cute small cabin, unsure about cleaniness

It was in a nice location, however the closest beach isn't just steps, it is about two to three blocks away. We stayed there for three nights but we saw mice at least 5 times, and saw four potential nests. I know that Kelly brings in a housecleaner but I'm not entirely sure how thorough the cleaner is. Two of the people who went has asthma and it flared up while in this cabin. Definitely a cabin to just sleep in if you have breathing issues. Also unsure if I would want a baby/toddler to crawl on the 1st floor. Take the bear warnings seriously!!!! Read all of the signs listed inside the property about bears. Definitely was a cute little cabin, Kelly has game boards and a dart board set up. Overall, it was a nice trip. Just the kids were scared to sleep knowing there were mice.

Cozy cabin with all the essentials

Neighborhood is convenient for a short ride to grocery and kings beach and nice to have the option for a walking trail right in the neighborhood. Bed downstairs is soft and the room is tight squeeze, but the property is spacious and the house has everything you need for the cooking. Kelly and cleaning crew are very attentive and were a great help when I forgot some of my stuff there after my check out!

Love this place!!!

This was hands down my favorite vrbo that I have stayed. The location was perfect and it had such amazing character! We had plenty of room for our family of four. We enjoyed the back patio so much that we ate in every night. Can't wait for our next visit to Tahoe and can't imagine staying any where else now.

Perfect location

The location is great. Minutes from the beach, national park, hiking trails, Northstar Resort, sledding hills, etc. Having a legit woodstove fire was definitely one of the highlights of the place. Communication with Kelly was very responsive. We recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice getaway.

Just what we needed!

Super sweet cabin...perfect for the two of us. Kelly was easy to communicate with and responsive to our needs. The cabin is cozy and works well for a couple or a small family- there is an upstairs that has 3 additional beds (I believe), but we just needed the downstairs space. The location was perfect for our needs- easy 15 min or so to Homewood and a short walk to the lake. There is also a nice hiking area in the neighborhood, as well. Highly recommended as long as you don't mind getting cozy with your partner in a double bed.

A Charming Getaway

We had an incredible stay at Kelly's cabin in Tahoe Vista. It's the perfect spot for a quiet, relaxing getaway. The cabin was perfect for two (plenty spacious) - with great amenities (games, movies, cooking supplies, etc). The location was hard to beat. It's just a short walk to the lake and very close to downtown - while also feeling plenty remote. We fell in love with the cabin and can't wait to come back soon!

About the host

Hosted by Kelly

Host profile image
This hideaway is our one and only vacation property that we passionately tend to for the enjoyment of our family and special guests. With over 300 completed reservations and a humble Super Host rating, we pride ourselves on visitors having a great and memorable time.

Why they chose this property

After considering many Tahoe neighborhoods, we settled on Tahoe Vista/King's Beach and couldn't be more pleased. Easy access to quaint shops, casual and fine dining, ski resorts and all kinds of great summer activities including but not limited to golf, biking, SUP, kayaking, parasailing, mini golf, hiking, tennis pickle ball and beaches have validated our choice a thousand times over.

What makes this property unique

The quaintness of the cabin, interior details that reflect a throw back to the "camp" days of the say the 40s, the two-block walk to the beach and close proximity to everything Tahoe offers, while being away from the busy highway, make it cozy, comfy and convenient.
