We enjoyed our time at this cute cabin! Very cozy and loved that we had a back yard for our small poodle mix pup. The home is dog friendly so obviously we expected other dogs have stayed there; however, it did not appear that the dog hair from previous guests was vaccumed. The throw pillows on the couches and the beds were covered in dog hair (and so were we). We bring our own "dog blankets" so our dog is not laying on the bedding or couches. We also had a large mirror fall off the wall in the middle of the night in the upstairs bedroom. Upon inspection we discovered that it was only hung up by two small pieces of velcro.

Cozy Cabin

We enjoyed our stay very much. Warm and cozy place with very nice decor. Our drive was even shoveled for us when it snowed. Very close to ski rental shops, grocery stores, and Heavenly ski resort .

Great late spring vacation home

The adorable cabin was in a perfect location for an early June trip. We were able to walk to the lake, Heavenly village, and lots of places to eat. It was also easy driving to hikes and other beach areas. Also, the little loft upstairs was the perfect "secret room" for the kids. Great getaway!

Great communication from the owner and clear instructions. Cabin is centrally located so easy to get around. Lots of nice touches in the cabin. Having Roku TV was nice as we logged into our accounts and then signed out when we left. The part that was not favorable for us is subjective, so it may not be an issue for others. We used both queen size beds and the mattresses were way too soft and caused back pain. The couches also did not offer support causing us increased back pain. The pillows on the beds were very soft as well, but as a precaution we had brought our own pillows that are a bit more firm.

2nd Time Around and Still 🖤ing it!

The first time we visited, we came directly from our wedding and stayed three nights. This time, a year later, we came to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and we brought our 2-month old daughter, too! We really loved this second stay just as much as the first! The cabin is beautifully decorated with lots of fun little 🐻 figurines to look at everywhere. It’s cozy and the bed (we only used one, but there are many more) was comfortable. The location is great! It’s by the lake, casinos and plenty of yummy places to eat! We love this cabin so much that my husband and I are already thinking about our third trip! :) Thank you Tamara and Nick!

GREAT location and full CABIN feel

This house sits in a great , safe, friendly part of town. 15 minute walk to the beach (two nice restaurants that overlook the water), 4 minute drive down ski run rd. To the water. Up ski run road, it’s an 8 minute drive to Heavenly to snowboard. The recommendations in the little book for food, bars, and tourist places to see are on point. 6-8 minute drive to the casinos, 12 to golf, 15 to hiking. Great comfortable beds and pet friendly. Highly recommend and the owner/ host is very quick to respond for any needs necessary. : )

Wedding in Tahoe :)

We decided after 15 years, a week before our trip to get married while on our vacation. I talked with Tamara last week and she was able to give me some fabulous recommendations on where to go for hair and a couple other things as well. When we arrived we got a gift basket delivered with champagne, chocolate covered strawberries and even some flutes!!! The cabin itself is absolutely perfect. Equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. Perfect location and the fact we got to bring our pups with us made it that more memorable. We'll definitely be returning :)

It was amazing, everything was organized and clean, the decor was nice and comfy. The beds were very comfortable. We loved the dvd’s they had for us. The kitchen was nice. The price you have to pay is definitely worth it, overall our stay was perfect.

Perfect cabin getaway!

We love staying at this cute, cozy cabin. My kids ask to go back there all the time. They love the loft and the back yard. We even got some fresh snow while we were there to make for some pretty spectacular spring skiing. The cabin is stocked with everything you need and the welcome basket was really nice!

Fantastic Cabin

Charming and rustic, very clean, well appointed with amenities, excellent location, well stocked kitchen, quality towels and linens, personal touches everywhere. The owners clearly take pride in this place. Backyard was buried in deep snow, but it is spacious and looked to be a fine space for warmer seasons. My quibbles are minor, but I will state them as I know owners like complete and honest feedback: The foam mattresses on the beds are very soft and may not please those preferring a firm bed. While the place has beds for 8 including a futon and two singles in a tight loft area, any more than 4 adults would be a tight squeeze in this smallish cabin. Keep in mind there’s only one bathroom. Stairway is steep and narrow and might pose difficulties for the mobility impaired. Definitely recommended and it will certainly be on my list of favorites for our next Tahoe trip.

About the host

Nick is a graphic designer and Tamara is an insurance professional. We were both born and raised in the Sacramento area and have been spoiled by the beauty and amenities Lake Tahoe has to offer. Nick grew up skiing and snowboarding the mountains of Tahoe since he was a young child. When the snow season is over, we both love to visit Lake Tahoe to kayak, paddleboard and hike in the summer. We both also love to “try our luck” from time to time at the casinos and feast at the buffets! We truly hope you love staying at our cabin as much as we do and return with your family and friends to make many memories up here!

You will feel right at home at this cabin with all the amenities you need for your stay. Bring the whole family! There’s a kitchen complete with a coffee maker, full size refrigerator and freezer, stove/oven, microwave, dishes and pots and pans so you can enjoy home cooked meals during your stay.

There are 2 bedrooms (each with a queen bed), a charming “lake loft” (with two twin beds) and a queen sized sleeper sofa. Don’t worry about packing too much because there are extra blankets, pillows, linens here waiting for you! You’ll love the wood burning fireplace to keep you warm on those chilly winter nights.

What makes this property unique
