You might not have a water front view, but the trees are gorgeous and you really are right next to the lake. Super easy to get around South Lake Tahoe from the cabin. Had everything we needed. Many helpful notes around the house. And a communicative host. Lovely stay.

Very cozy cabin at Fallen Leaf Lake. Well equipped and comfortable. We enjoyed eating dinner on the “knob” where the picnic table is to get a nice view of Fallen Leaf Lake. The cabin is close to great hiking trails, the marina at Fallen Leaf Lake for water activities. Thank you for sharing your Fallen Leaf Cabin with us. We enjoyed our stay. Very peaceful and quiet.

The cabin has a very convenient location near Fallen Leaf Lake and several trails, has everything to spend time indoors. The road is a bit bumpy, but still doable with a compact car.

Communication was excellent, check-in was easy (key in lockbox), and cabin exceeded my expectations. I especially enjoyed the vintage kitchen. I had the opportunity to meet the host (Jim) and enjoyed talking with him about the history of the property and surrounding area. Thank you, Jim, for a very memorable experience!

Fantastic cabin, small but cozy

It's just my wife and me, this cabin is perfect. The living room is quite large, kitchen is fine. Very short walk to common dock, where we would hang out with wine/cheese/bread while watching the sun set over the mountains.

Wonderful place to stay!

Check in process was super easy and the place was very cozy and clean! The host provided plenty of amenities and items for guests to use as needed and had clearly labeled everything with easy to follow instructions. They were also very easy and quick to communicate with! My only complaint is the kitchen felt very basic and could use a little upgrade in terms of what is provided for use

Charming Cabin with Lots of Special Touches

The cabin was very comfortable with lots of very thoughtful touches. We felt very much like guests in a very nice guest home instead of a customer in a hotel. The vaulted ceilings makes the space feel much larger than what the square footage shows. The hosts/owners are great.

FLL is a wilderness adventure

Desolation wilderness, Lake Tahoe and Fallen Leaf Lake are so beautiful. We had perfect weather and few crowds after the Labor Day weekend. The cabin is a perfect location to visit them all. Thanks for sharing...

Russ, The post-it notes are courtesy my wife, if those are what you refer to as "expectations", I'm sorry. My "expectations" are much more lenient or do whatever makes you happy. Appreciate your patronage, looking forward to seeing you next summer. With regards, Jim Parise

Great stay

We had a lovely stay. The location was unbeatable. Jim was kind and helpful . Paddling on the lake was a must. The cabin is much cuter than pictured. Cozy, wooden inside. Good lighting. Tiny Christmas/4th of July tree in the corner, fire burning stove, interesting knick knacks all added to the charm. Comfortable and perfect for our weekend getaway. Thank you Jim.

Fallen Leaf Cabin

Great find. Had a wonderful experience. The property owner was friendly and transparent. A couple of recommendations would be to get blinds/curtains on the living room and kitchen windows. And a larger refrigerator and stove. Overall, this place was great and I would recommend.
