Nice cabin.

The only issue we had was the fridge did not get cold and we had to keep our food in a cooler. I notified the owner and left a message and said it wasn't a huge deal because we had a cooler and not much food. I did not hear back from him. It was an inconvenience however. Otherwise it was great and met all our needs. The location was great and near everything we wanted to do.

Wonderful cabin in a nice quiet neighborhood. Close to the main road and shops but far enough away to be quiet and secluded. The back yard and front yard are both really great and was wonderful for our little dog to stroll around in as they were both safe and enclosed. Backyard games were great to have some fun with, and being surrounded by wonderful pine trees was a treat while chilling in the hot tub! Highly recommend, host was amazing and understanding of any needs we had. I can’t wait to go back one day, it felt like a home away from home and we miss it already. Thank you so much for such a wonderful retreat!!

Spent this past weekend in Tahoe and we couldn't have picked a better cabin to stay in. The cabin itself is beautiful and cozy inside and it is convineint to almost everything just a short drive away. First time in Tahoe and it will definetly not be our last, the cabin was what made the trip 10 times better. Thank you Brad

The cabin was just as it was shown in the pictures. It was clean and had a true cabin vibe with wood beams and cabin themed features. It had everything we needed in terms of making meals etc...The neighborhood was quiet and clean. Loved our trip! Would rent this cabin again!

Cozy Cabin

If you are looking for a cozy stay, this is your place. Don’t let the outside change your mind. This place has lots of character. Every bit of space is used wisely. We enjoyed our evening dinners on the spacious front porch then enjoyed a game of corn hole. It is a hop skip & a jump from the main points of interest in So Lake Tahoe. We highly recommend.

Love this cozy cabin

This is our 2nd time staying at the cabin. I have been coming to Tahoe for over 20 years and have never stayed in the same house more than once. That should tell you a lot about this cabin. It is comfortable and well appointed. The owner is responsive and easy to work with. Beds are comfortable, fireplace works great, and 3 bathrooms! The house is very clean and we love the extra throw blankets for snuggling. Neighborhood is quiet and about 5 minutes away from Heavenly California lodge. Can’t wait to come back, hopefully next year.

About the host

Hosted by Brad Adams

Host profile image
My wife and I live in Folsom, CA. We bought The Bear Necessity in 2011 because of our love for Tahoe. We got engaged at the cabin and now our children are able to share our joy for Tahoe. We love being able to share our cabin with others who are visiting this beautiful area!

Why they chose this property

We chose this cabin because of it's log cabin charm as well as the proximity to Heavenly, the beaches, Bijou Medow, grocery stores, and great restaurants

What makes this property unique

The cabin is near a nice meadow as well as golf course. You are within 5 minutes from both heavenly and the Casinos, as well as the beach. Whole Foods, Safeway, Chipotle, 5 Guys are all close by.
