Cute mountain home in the woods

We only stayed for three nights, using the cabin as a home base to go up to Angora Lakes during the day. The house is older, as settling as made the floors slope to one side. The beds were comfortable and the propane bbq was a plus. There are a washer and dryer, and a dry sauna on site, but we didn’t stay long enough to use them. Plus, it’s summer and too warm for a sauna. The cabin is quiet and in a nice neighborhood only 10 min. from Raley’s grocery store. The owner was easy to contact when issues arose.

Cozy & Quiet Family Getaway

We stayed here for a total of 5 nights in July 2018, and had such a great time! There were 6 of us to start (myself, my husband, our 5 year old, our 2 year old, and my mother & father in law). My in laws were only there for 2 days because they were eaten by bears. JK, they only wanted to take a few days off from work. With 4 adults total, it was a little crowded, just in the kitchen and dining area, but definitely not a problem! The home is very clean, has a closet equipped with family board games, has a lovely master shower, and is weaved into a very quiet neck of the woods. Stephanie was extremely responsive and kind - a total pleasure to coordinate with. This cabin is about 15-20 minutes of a drive away from the lake itself, and the drive to the lake is so beautiful. You also pass through an adorable part of the town. The only little issue that we encountered with this cabin is that the wifi is just a *little* wonky (we brought an xbox and it wasn't holding the connection well), but you're in the heart of the woods here, so it's understandable. As far connecting to phones, it worked fine, but we did decide to disconnect and 'be one with nature' anyway. Outside of that, we were a little strapped for supplies (needed more paper towels, napkins, trash bags) and it would have been nice to see things like band aids, or other small amenities. But nothing majorly inconvenient at all. All in all, I would highly recommend giving this cabin a go! It's a great family getaway with reasonable distance to the lake and other great sights. Thank you to Stephanie for having us!! Because of how fun this trip was, we're planning on making this an annual event. :)

Loved this cozy home away from home!!

The house was everything we needed and so conveniently located. Beds were super comfortable, the house was neat and had everything required for a weekend in the snow! Stephanie was very responsive and everything went smoothly from booking to communications to accessing the house. Would definitely stay again as everyone enjoyed the house! Thanks again, Stephanie!

Great remodeled property close to the lake

Stayed here last weekend with four friends (five of us total). It's a nicely remodeled home with the basic amenities. The selling point for us was the sauna, which is detached from the house. The couple shockers upon arrival was that there were no toiletries (even previous occupants' leave-behinds) and no wood/kindling for the fireplace or sauna. Would be helpful for others to know to bring their own :) Favorite aspects: - the master shower was a dream - Nest thermostat - Big screen TV with cable and DVDs (Chromecast, as well, but we did not use) - Fully stocked kitchen supplies - Sauna (NOTE: it is not electric and takes about 45-60 minutes and a few logs to fully heat up)

What a nice place

I had a wonderful winter vacation with my friends couple in this house. The house was a quite clean and has some nice features like sauna, fireplace etc. Ah the sauna was disable though, easy to access to groceries, gas station, major ski resorts and also the lake. But I would recommend to visit here with a 4 wheel drive car especially in winter that a lot of snow comes. The town where this house is in spreads on different elevations and when got a tons of snow, driving on the road would possibly be a problem. Or having snow chain would work otherwise. Obviously seemed keep in well maintenance by the owner. Overall, it's a great house. Highly recommend.

Truly felt like home away from home!

I had stayed here with five of my friends for two nights and felt really at home moment we stepped in! Steph & Phil were very good with correspondence from the very beginning and provided us with all the information we required without having to ask. We all were pretty impressed with the house and its amenities and found the place very well maintained and clean. There were notes with instructions in just the places that you'd need it! :) and not to mention a complimentary bottle of wine. All in all we had a really wonderful stay and couldn't have asked for a better hospitality! I'd definitely recommend this house for their next Tahoe vacation!

Nice, cozy and comfortable

We were a group of 6 adults and 2 kids and just wanted some quiet time away from the city. Stayed for a weekend and enjoyed every bit of it. The property is exactly as advertised which was great since a lot of owners tend to embellish when advertising. The place was clean with fresh linen and towels. There was plenty of room for everyone and the kids loved their bunk bed. Stephanie was very responsive whenever we had a question. It is a little far from the action (stores, casino, Heavenly etc.) but that is exactly what we were looking for. All in all; a very pleasant experience and would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet time in a comfortable setting.

Great location requiring short drives to some of the most scenic areas and hiking trails in the area

Accommodations are very comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, making it inviting and easy to settle in. The family's onsite messages are welcoming and they clearly want their visitors to have fun and to enjoy themselves!!

Great comfortable home in the woods!

We had a wonderful time at this property. Two families each with two kids shared the place very comfortably. The kids could play out in the snow around the house. Perfect! It was also very convenient for all the snow areas including Sierra at Tahoe, Kirkwood, Heavenly, and Adventure Mountain. Great location! Nice house!

Felt Like Home

This property was perfect. We felt right at home the moment we pulled into the driveway. The home was cozy and inviting. There was a bottle of wine waiting for us, notes everywhere helping us with the heater, etc. We enjoyed our stay immensely. It snowed the night we got there and we had perfect mix of snow/sun throughout the weekend to enjoy. The cabin is very close to shopping centers and places to get out and play in the snow. Stephanie was amazing to communicate with and made our travel plans so easy. We hope to stay here again not only in the Winter but maybe the Summer too! Our kids loved the bunk beds, games and just having a room of their own. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality! We definitely recommend this location and home.

About the host

Host profile image
We bought this cabin as a family getaway. We both grew up going to South Lake Tahoe as children and wanted our own children to have the opportunity to enjoy it as much as we did. We have spent many family vacations in Tahoe with memories that we will always cherish. We are happy to share this special place with you.

Why they chose this property

Our cabin is located in one of the best neighborhoods in South Lake Tahoe. There is easy access to all that Tahoe has to offer while still being in a quiet and safe neighborhood.
