About this property

Lake Tahoe Cottage Steps to Beach

Nestled on forested grounds a one-minute drive from Homewood Mountain Resort and 10 minutes from Olympic Valley, Chickadee Cottage offers a cozy, romantic escape in the heart of Tahoe’s scenic West Shore.

Part of Cedar Crest Cottages, a historic vacation retreat dating to the 1930s, the newly renovated cottage features stylish decor, modern amenities and a tranquil mountain ambience. Located on the ground level of a two-story cottage, Chickadee welcomes guests to an open-concept living area with heated stone floors, wood-paneled walls and high ceilings.

*Please be advised that this home does not have air conditioning.

A private bedroom comfortably sleeps up to two guests with a king -sized bed. Tastefully styled in soft tones with stone floors and plush bedding, the bedroom features a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a tub shower. The cottage also has a separate guest powder room.

A washer and dryer, ironing board and complimentary laundry pods add convenience, particularly for longer stays.

As a guest of Cedar Creek Cottages, you’ll enjoy access to the community BBQ grill and oversized fire pit with filtered lake views, including glimpses of the mountains. In the summer, stroll to the beach across the street for swimming, sailing and boating on the lake, or hike through the surrounding mountains. In the winter, drive less than two minutes to the family-friendly Homewood Mountain Resort, or just 25 minutes to the varied terrain of Olympic Valley. The restaurants, shops and entertainment of Tahoe City is just 10 minutes away.

However you choose to explore Tahoe’s lively West Shore, Chickadee Cottage offers a cozy, romantic retreat that feels just like home.

Please be advised that the firepit is seasonal and is not operational during the winter months due to the heavy snowfall.
