About this house rental
**Fireplace is currently non-operational, we are working hard to replace it soon. Lodging at this 'Old Tahoe' charmer includes a large and comfortable kitchen, dining room and living room with a grand rock wood-burning fireplace. There is a large bedroom downstairs with a queen-sized bed and an attached half bathroom. At the top of the stairs is an open seating area with a futon bed and a cozy electric heater for winter or cold summer nights. This is an old cabin. The stairs are steep; you must use the handrail, and head clearance is low. The other two bedrooms are upstairs. The first guest bedroom is bright and airy with skylights in the ceiling; you can lay in the Double bed and look up at the Tahoe night ski. The third bedroom is a nice size with two twin-sized beds. The front entry is covered.There is a spacious well-maintained yard that is fully fenced and is connected to a nice sunny deck for relaxing and entertaining. The driveway is long so there is plenty of parking. Bring your well-mannered pet along, too(1 pet is welcome; additional pets must be approved by management, 2 max.). There is cable TV and Wifi, a washer/dryer. 2 cars maximum. Just minutes from Tahoe City, enjoy shopping, dining or the grocery store for your trip essentials. It is a short walk to several public beaches or pick up the nearby local bike trail. There is a meadow nearby and many trail systems to enjoy the outdoors. For our boating guests, this Lake Forest vacation rental cabin is close to a public boat launch near the Coast Guard station, and for winter activities, you are centrally located for a short drive to Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Homewood, Tahoe Nordic Center, and so much more.

Great location, back yard perfect for dogs.

We enjoyed our 4 day stay. Cabin is charming and somewhat rustic. Positives are a great backyard and porch for our dog, nice big fireplace (it was cold for August), comfy beds, and good layout. Cabin is a bit dated and dark, so could use some TLC. Would be even better with a better assortment of stemware and utensil's, but overall kitchen had all the amenities.

Safety - backyard door lock is broken. It doesn’t look from inside. Main bathroom lock is also broken. Stairs are horrible to even walk.
Heater only works in living room but no room has heater vent so its not at all livable situation for winter stays. 3 out of 4 Portable heaters stop working after some time.
We couldn’t sleep at night at all because it was27 degrees Fahrenheit but heaters in the room were not working. We also didn’t feel safe at night since backyard door lock was broken from inside. This is a major major safety concern and should be taken seriously
Towels are extremely dirty. Looks very much used and they are very rough. They are nowhere close to 6 months old. We don’t even feel like using them they are that old and stinky. This is major hygiene concern. How can a host provide unhygienic towels and vrbo allow it? Its beyond disgusting
Bedding is very stinky as well. Pillow cases are extremely dirty and doesn’t look washed at all. Pillows are super old.
Apart from this toiletries are missing. Body wash is missing. Shampoo conditioners are old. Diffuser in toilet, air fresheners are almost over so owner did not even bother to fill it up.
Vrbo support is extremely useless helping with any of these issues. They basically didn’t even bother to raise a case and dismissed.
Please don’t book this house or any house on Vrbo if you need good customer support

Wonderful cabin for family stay. We all loved the beautiful quiet backyard especially our pets. Having kitchen, laundry and a 2nd TV room (upstairs) was so convenient.

We had a great long weekend at the cottage - the location was at the end of a street in a friendly neighborhood. The nearby Skylandia Park is within walking distance and it was a huge highlight.

Everything was great about the stairs, which are a death trap. They are waaayyy too steep. Some of the stairs move and tilt when you step on them. They are wrapped in old carpet, which is uneven. They tried to put a grip strip on top of the carpet and hammered it in with nails. The nails are uncomfortable to walk on. The grip strip pulled my sock half off, which then tripped me, and I fell. My kid refused to walk on them out of fear. So, there was no way that he could sleep in the bedrooms upstairs and then find his way to the toilet downstairs in the middle of the night. So, we had to take a mattress from upstairs and put it down in the living room for him to sleep on. Other than the stairs, the house was fine but I could not recommend this place and would not stay here again.

This place was just the cutest little old cabin the back yard was amazing for the dogs and the location was perfect for us the kitchen was pretty stocked with everything I needed for thanksgiving dinner some more paper products (toilet paper paper towels) would have been really great and some cleaning supplies

The house was as described. The fireplace was amazing and very nice in the cold evenings and mornings. The yard was very green and the trees were lovely. The kitchen was adequately supplied with cooking essentials. Extra dish towels would have been nice, however. The biggest complaint, and it’s a big one…The interior of the house has NO sound barrier. It sounded like the floor was caving in when someone walked upstairs. And when someone came down the stairs it sounded even louder. And since there is no bathroom on the 2nd floor, any time someone had to come down during the night it woke the whole house. I’d stay there again but not with other people and 3 bedrooms is a lot for 2 people. So overall it was a good stay just way too loud!!

Loved the Lake Forest and Tahoe City area--much quieter than South Lake Tahoe. Nice beach just down the street. Easy 30-minute drive to Emerald Bay where we spent most of our time hiking. The house was clean and comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Everything worked--we just had to reset the router to get Internet. The house is old so the floors and stairs do creak. There's a half-bath off of the first floor bedroom and a full bath only on the first floor. There were a couple of bikes in the laundry room but we didn't ask to use them. We arrived late but the management company left all the lights on for us. Thanks! We had a great stay and would stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our party was made up of older women and one small dog. We loved the backyard and deck and spent lots of time out there. The house was cute but the stairs are a little steep for older people. The house was clean but not well stocked with paper towels, or t-towels. The area was perfect for walking and very close to the lake. Would rent this house again.

It’s hard to choose a place over the internet. We chose this place primarily for the yard because we have a small dog. We let him run & play out there and he loved it. We were always with him. This cabin was warm and inviting. We truly enjoyed our stay. No king beds and we weren’t used to that, but found the queen downstairs to be very comfortable. We did not use the upstairs at all. The bathrooms were a bit rustic, yet adequate. We didn’t use the fireplace, as the fire danger was high and the heater did a great job. The vents and filters do need to be cleaned out. The living room chair was very comfortable, but the matching sofa was not. There was a board under the cushions that was very uncomfortable. I’d say it’s time to replace! The kitchen was well supplied, but bring your own foil or baggies. We bought sponges for the place, as there was nothing to do dishes with. More toilet paper could have been supplied, as we bought more, and there were no Kleenex supplied. The lockbox did not work, but fortunately we found the keys under the mat. We hadn’t been told they were there. Overall, the place is really cute and we enjoyed our time there.

Perfect location! Walking distance to beach, close to shops and bike trails. Fenced back yard ideal for dogs. This is our go to rental for Lake Tahoe.

This house works well if you bring your dog/s. It has a very nice large backyard. It was comfortable, not fancy. The bed in the main room was comfortable, that was the only bedroom we used. We could not get local on the TV, it was hard to figure out. Kitchen was well equipped. We would rent again, if we brought our dogs with us.

Summer Fun in Tahoe!
Our family of 4 had a wonderful time in Tahoe City. This is a great location and very cozy warm feel to the house. After a day of golf or riding bikes on the near by trails we could come back and relax in the spacious back yard for a BBQ. Close to shopping and rafting the Truckee river too.
Beautiful street located near a meadow for an after dinner walk.
Thanks again... we had an awesome trip!

Great for families with pets
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Cabin is basic but a classic, and the fully fenced yard makes it a great choice for people with kids and/or dogs. The backyard and deck were perfect to play in while it snowed. The location is perfect and close by to snow parks and ski resorts.
It is in a great location and all the neighbors were friendly and helpful during the snowstorm. There was a friendly neighborhood dog that would sit out in front of the driveway every morning. One of the neighbors helped get the driveway clear of snow when it dumped several feet of snow overnight and the power went out.
The only drawbacks are both bathrooms are on the first floor, stairs are steep, maybe not so great for little kids and older folk. We tried using the fireplace the first night but it did not work well, and the smoke came back in the house. The power went out on the last day of our stay (no fault of the owner), and we couldn’t use the fireplace to keep the house warm. The space heaters appeared antiquated in the upstairs bedroom and didn’t work well, and need to be replaced.
Despite the drawbacks (which can be easily fixed), we would definitely stay there again.

Great location, simple charm
Cabin is basic but a classic, and the fully fenced yard makes it a great choice for people with kids and/or dogs. Close to the lake, with a couple of parks with walking trails nearby. One bedroom and both bathrooms are on the first floor. Two more bedrooms and a sitting area with TV on the second. Stairs are steep, maybe not so great for little kids and older folk. We'd definitely stay there again, regardless.

Cozy & Comfortable
This property was simply a joy. The backyard was beautiful and perfect for our Akita dog. Well manicured and shaded with plenty of seating on the deck. The furnishings were cozy cabin style and heater came on just in time to take off the morning chill. Neighbors were pleasant. Lots of places to walk your dog. The Blue Agave Mexican restaurant was great! The River Ranch serves fabulous outside dining sitting next to the Truckee River. Both were very dog friendly. We will definitely come back again to stay longer.

Dog friendly cabin
We (3 adults) spent a week in this cabin and it was perfect! Our 2 dogs loved the secure, fenced backyard and we enjoyed morning coffee/cocoa and meals on the deck. The kitchen had everything that was needed for meals at home. The location is ideal for a short walk to the beach and a nice bike ride to Tahoe City and along the river/lake. The cabin hasn't been updated but that was expected so was not an issue. The weather was nice so we didn't get to enjoy the fireplace but I'm sure it is wonderful on cold winter nights. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to North Lake Tahoe! :)

The backyard is amazing. Also walking to the lake was so simple. We had a fantastic time and probably spent 95% of the time outside. Large part of this was due to the awesome backyard

Great family trip!!!
We loved the cabin, backyard space and especially how easy it was to walk to Lake Forrest and Skylandia Beaches.
We enjoyed the walk to and from the cabin through the beautiful neighborhood. All of the neighbors were wonderful, many chatted with us. Such a great and safe family environment!
We also enjoyed the bakery and Bacchi’s Italian restaurant which were also a very short walk away.
Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful cabin!
Only recommendation would be some AC, it does get awfully hot indoors. Other than that it was very lovely! Thank you!

This was a perfect house for our dogs. It's close to the beach and had the best backyard we've ever seen. The house itself could use some updating. The beds were kind of hard, pillows old, the furniture is all old, one sink still has the cold and hot water separated and in general things are just old. Our shower didn't work but they sent a handyman immediately to fix it and we were inconvenienced very little. The TV set up is great and the kitchen has everything you need to cook and eat in. The place was very clean, we didn't even find a spider which is a rite of passage in Tahoe! A lovely deck, we ate outside almost every time. Plenty of parking. Quiet neighborhood and nice neighbors.

Perfect location
We had a wonderful 5 day stay here with our dog. The neighborhood is quiet with no traffic and paths to the beach. The proximity to Tahoe city was a huge bonus. Our dog loved the yard and we had a great time sitting in the sun on the deck. The house was cozy and had everything we needed. The management company was very responsive and check in was flawless. Overall a great experience in a beautiful location.

Wonderful little vacation home in a great location. Short & safe walk down to Lake Forest Beach. Quiet cul-de-sac, great neighbors. The enclosed, grass yard is a real treat in Tahoe. Home was perfect for 2 adults & 2 kids. For us it would be a bit crowded if we had anymore than that. Kitchen dishes/items are a bit sparse & outdated. But it's a vacation rental so you can't really have expectations there. I'd say if you know you'll want it, bring your own. We would definitely stay here again.
