Nestled in the woods a stone's throw away from the lake is our 3 bedroom, 2 bath cabin located 1 mile east of Tahoe City towards Incline Village in the Lake Forest neighborhood. The setting is next to the Lake and adjacent to cross-country trails, hiking & biking in spring/summer. With easy access to all North Shore ski resorts in winter and lakeside amenities in summer, it's a great central location for all your vacation needs.
The cabin is a welcoming and comfortable A-Frame that easily sleeps 6 in 3 double bedrooms. Yard is completely enclosed & pets (2) are allowed w/ references & a $150 pet fee. Inside & Living Room contain a full size couch and love-seat and a wood burning stove that heats the home entirely. Retro kitchen is open to the living room and a pleasure to cook in while you converse with your guests. The 2-minute walk down a quiet backyard path to the beach in spring & summer is a delight!

We're becoming regular annual visitors to Jerry's place. The location's ideal for the activities we enjoy (dog friendly beach out the back door, bike path out the front) and the fenced property is perfect for a playful pup. There are always fresh linens, towels (including beach), blankets, soap, and shampoo, and the location is peaceful and quiet for a good night of sleep. The only issue I have isn't with the accommodation, but with VRBO's unreasonably high fees. Otherwise, this is a fabulous place to stay, check-in/out is easy, and communication is good.

Beautiful and the short trail to the lake was wonderful. Had everything we needed and we were so comfortable. Thanks for everything

The location is perfect. Loved how close it is to town while still away from the crowds. Loved the short backyard trail directly to the beach.
The yard is completely enclosed for privacy and for the dogs to run free. However, there's no lock for the front or back fence. While we were there, people we weren't expecting let themselves in on 3 occasions. This would've been a problem if our dogs were free in the yard at the time.
The yard itself is beautifully maintained, but there's lots of ants and mosquitoes so we didn't use the yard much.
Since it was only my fiance, me, and our 2 dogs, we didn't use the second floor. Everything we needed was downstairs. There's no AC unit, just heating, but even though we rented during summer, the place was never hot.
Other reviews mentioned a stained carpet and an odor. Yes, it's definitely there. The hosts provided candles and odor absorbers, but you can definitely tell dogs have peed inside.
The previous renters filled up the outside trash bin. We were told that we had to wait until trash collection day before we could use it. And since there's bears in the area, we had to keep our trash in the house with us. It didn't help with the odor, but this was out of the host's control.
That being said, I'd still consider booking here again.

Having recently had spinal surgery, hubby took me away to recuperate. Couldn't have had a better cottage in the woods. We stayed 10 days & never went out to eat. Terrific kitchen, well stocked with everything you could possibly need & more. Extremely comfy beds, washer & dryer a definite plus. Great sofas (i spent a lot of time on them!) and the TV was fantastic, good cable. Wonderful location, close to Safeway, cute coffee place down the street, safe neighborhood & restaurants (if you so choose). The best is the really close dog & people park on the lake. Beyond lovely, my favorite part. Nice fenced, secure yard for our dog. He was happy too! Easy check in & super rapid response from owner. Highly recommend.

This was my second stay at Jerry's place and the location is perfect. Off the main road, quiet and walkable neighborhood with a dog-friendly beach out the back door and bike path access out the front. Jerry hasn't overlooked anything you might need including plenty of towels and linens. Understanding that dogs join their owners here, my only negative comment would be the urine stains on the carpet and the smell of urine - not overpowering and nothing I don't think a professional deep cleaning couldn't address. Coming at the end of summer after lots of use is probably a factor as well. Jerry is prompt to respond if there's a question or issue. Looking forward to returning again!

Well stocked with all of your essentials. Cabin organized. Sofa and bed comfortable and two bathrooms a plus. The fenced yard and close access to the lake was the reason for choosing this cabin. Our dog enjoyed checking out the yard. Nice patio to sit under the trees.Great bike/walkway to Tahoe City. Good places to eat.
Carpet should be replaced with tile, many stains from previous tenets. Otherwise, a great place to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at this Lake Forest home. It was perfect for our little family of 3 and two small dogs. The home was very clean and well equipped. The location of this home is perfect with proximity to town and the lake. I’d love to go back when there’s less snow so we can actually utilize the trail leading to the lake! Thank you for a wonderful stay and we’re hoping to be back!

This home is exactly as described and you can’t beat a dog friendly beach out the back door and the bike path out the front. Plenty of extras like pillows, blankets, towels, soap, and shampoo and conditioner. Having a washer and dryer is a plus. Check-in and out was a breeze and when I needed to communicate with Jerry, he was prompt and accommodating. My dog and I had a perfect time and I plan to return!

Fantastic stay!
This house was perfect for my cousins, my dog and me. We loved having a fenced yard and being able to walk to the lake. The owners were great. We'll be back.

Perfect for our needs
Great location and fully equipped for a short time stay.
The owner was very accommodating and responsive to all inquiries. Walking distance to the lake and short drive to shopping and restaurants.

Better Cleaning & Stocking will make it a 5
The communication with Jerry was prompt & friendly. I locked myself out & he responded within minutes. I was back in within minutes.
The house is very cute and for the most part true to the listing.
Some room for improvement:
1) it's a dog rental as well & we did bring our dogs. I cleaned up after my dogs. Unfortunately, other tenants who were before me did not. Also, the cleaning services didn't either. Makes playing in the snow, not as fun within the property.
2) it has a wonderful fenced-in backyard but unfortunately, the main shovel was buried under a block of ice. A previous tenant broke the other shovel into pieces (plastic) so there was nothing to clear doorways from snow or pick up dog poop (I improvised).
3) the beds are small for two standard adults. I'd guess all 3 beds were Fulls at best.
4) unfortunately cleaning services didn't finish the laundry from the previous tenants so there was a large pile of sheets & blankets still pending wash in the washroom. There was also a load in the dryer which kept erroring out the cycle. It was hard to reach the dials given it was stacked. There was no step stool to reach the controls.
5) wonderful kitchen, dishwasher, & range. I cooked all the meals at home. Well stocked but make sure to bring tinfoil & ziplock just in case.
6) no DVD player & limited tv controls... a must at night with kids. I must have misread the listing because I brought movies with us to watch thinking there was a DVD player.
7) loved their leather couches, especially in a dog rental. This makes for a cleaner experience.
8) the bathrooms were not properly stocked. Similar to a hotel when you check-in, you expect a refreshed roll of everything. Restocked essentials. They did have supplies on hand in the washroom but I had to restock myself. Not a major issue but one has to question how well cleaning services really put in effort given some basics are not complete.
9) the central heating system was excellent. Unfortunately, the woodburning stove had a broken seal on the door so we were not able to use this item of the house.
10) the neighborhood is a mix of business and residential. We attending in a slight off season so it was very very quiet in the neighborhood, at the lake & snow park. It was a quick walk to the lake with the dogs.
This is a very cute rental & with some cleaning services upgrades & a few repairs of the house, this could be a 5 star.

Great cozy stay
House and kitchen were great for our family. Only disappointment was the yard. Pretty unusable no snow clearing to speak of except front walkway. Shovel buried in icy snow crust. But we loved the location

Amazing property!
What an absolute gem! We arrive for a New Years get away & I promised my kid snow… and boy was there snow 😂. The driveway & walkway we’re shoveled so getting into the house was so easy! The house was clean and is just an absolute gem! The kitchen. Was fully stocked (coffee maker, toaster, microwave - you name it!) and even kitchen spices & a few extras.
Games and tv access as well (great for a late night movie to settle down with!)
My son & I brought his best friend & his mom to join us as well as our little pup.
Jerry was a great host and made our trip just the absolute best!
We found a great little hill to use for sledding just down the street.
I look forward to coming back & seeing the property during the summer time as it is so close to the lake!
Then fully enclosed yard is perfect for pups as well!

Peaceful escape
The home is very well situated close to the beach, just a five minute walk though a fantastic scenery. Backyard perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach. Kitchen stocked with enough utensils and cooking items that made cooking a breeze. Home had more than enough towels and shampoo and body wash for our entire stay. Would definitely stay here again in the future

Great for dogs and good proximity to everything
We had a great time at Lake Tahoe, and it was great to have a home with a fenced yard for the dogs. The kitchen is well stocked, and there were plenty of supplies. The carpenter ants in the kitchen were gross, and the beds are doubles not queens. This was hard for tall adults and couples, and I hope they upgrade them to queen or kings with good quality mattresses. There were a few broken items and we wished there were chairs in the backyard for more people. Thankfully we brought some of our own. It's next to a boat rental place so if noise early in the am and the smell of gas in the evening bothers you then this isn't the right place. I know the above sounds negative but overall we were very happy there.

Great location, cute place great yard.
We have stayed at quite a few vacation rentals and this is a wonderful little place. Loved the location and we walked into town for ice cream. The yard is fully fenced and dog safe- large enough for a whole group, numerous tables and plenty of shade. The walk to the lake is honestly like 2 minutes and the beach is awesome this year. Kitchen is well stocked and easy to use. So many amenities , laundry worked great, plenty of body wash and soft towels. Beds are only doubles so that took a little getting used to but plenty of blankets and pillows. This is the first vacation rebtal ever to have fans!!!! And if you’re worried about the heat wave dont- it got up to high 80’s and the house inside remained very cool! Great communication with owner and easy check in check out. Couldn’t have been happier for a little birthday get away.

Perfect Little Oasis
Absolutely perfect spot for our first family getaway as we begin to venture out of our Covid bubble. Easy and beautiful walk to the beach and great yard for dogs and relaxing under the trees. So many cute features in the house. I am obsessed with the kitchen cabinets. House was clean and stocked with comfortable bedding and everything you need in 2 nice bathrooms. We plan to return soon!

Fun times
We were 3 families each with children around 2 years old. The house was well stocked with games and books. The location was great. We walked to the lake everyday. FYI, the stairs don’t have a railing so I recommend bringing a baby gate if you have young children.

Cozy and centrally located
Really enjoyed our stay. Cabin is cozy, neat, and has all necessities. Great communication with owner. Loved the location (not how the driveway is flat esp. during snow days). Easy walk for out door activities and only a mile ish away from groceries/restaurants. Fenced in yard was perfect for the dogs.

Awesome Spot
This cozy cabin was perfect for our group of 4 adults and our dog. The fenced in yard, wood burning stove, dishwasher, and in-unit laundry were major hits! The kitchen is stocked with almost every gadget you can imagine. We felt right at home and had everything we needed. The dog LOVED roaming in the yard and swimming at the dog beach. There’s a path outside the back gate that leads you on a 2 minute walk to a dog-friendly beach on Lake Tahoe. Gorgeous!! We would gladly stay here again.

Felt like home
My family loved this house for a weekend getaway and plan on using it again. I have stayed in many vacation rentals and never experienced a place as clean and comfortable as dollar point - it feels like your own home! The owners have everything you need, even a sweet note of where to get great coffee and pizza. The .25 mile walk to the lake was perfect for my toddler- we walked down every day to play and feed the ducks. The house has new carpet and perimeter fenced so it was great for a little one who likes to roam. There is a great playground/soccer field .5 mile down the street that we utilized as well and a nice path to run/bike to town. We looked forward to a relaxing mountain getaway and that is exactly what we got. Thank you to the owners for a wonderful place to stay!
