ABOUT THE AREA

Conveniently located two miles south of Tahoe City, you'll find the quintessential Tahoe neighborhood of Sunnyside. This heavily wooded section on Lake Tahoe's west shore features Old Tahoe style homes and classic cabins. Homes in this neighborhood are all centrally located on between Homewood and Tahoe City.

Just down the road you'll find Sunnyside Resort and Marina and William Kent Shoreline. William Kent beach is situated in a wooded setting and offers picnic tables and grills with views across Lake Tahoe of the eastern shoreline. Next door, Sunnyside Resort is a favorite year round lakeside dining option.

During the ski season, you are less than fifteen minutes from Homewood Mountain Resort. Or travel to Palisades Tahoe (formally known as Squaw Valley/Alpine Meadows) which is the largest ski resort in Lake Tahoe. Palisades Tahoe has a shuttle that runs continuously between the base area of Olympic Valley & Alpine Meadows when both resorts are open for operations, weather, and traffic permitting.

Our family had a very nice time. The cabin was very nice and clean. And it is located in a secluded area with the beautiful surrounding with lots of trees and water. And all the Tahoe getaway staff have been very kind and supportive. Overall it's been very fun doing some activities like tree top adventure, picnic at the beach, shopping 🛍️ and etc.etc. We will definitely be back! Thank you ❤️😊

Loved staying at this charming west shore cabin. It felt extremely comfortable and homey. We got great and timely responses from the owner/manager. Would happily stay here again.

Hello- We love staying at Ward Creek but we were enormously frustrated with the tv situation. Remotes did not work, took so many trial and errors each night to try and figure it out. Each solution each night was different. Had to plug and unplug multiple times...I hope someone can attend to this. Also, we wanted to make a fire, bought wood only to find out that it wasn't clear if the fleu was open. No instructions left of fireplace as instruction book said there was. Called the office and the person we spoke to could not help. Again, hope someone can make a simple clarification on open vs. closed fleu. Other than critters in the roof above the bedroom facing the street, it was a peaceful stay! We really love staying here and hope these concerns are addressed so we can continue to enjoy the charming cabin in the future.

This is my second time staying here and I love this place. It's got the best living room to unwind in after skiing all day. The wood-burning fireplace and cozy atmosphere are exceedingly rare to find in the Tahoe area now. The kitchen is well-equipped to prepare family-style meals and has enough room around the kitchen table for everyone to comfortably eat. The master bedroom can be a bit warm, but I love this place and would recommend staying here to anyone who will listen. 10/10

Lovely rustic cabin. One downside is the need to bring almost every household item including toilet paper.

This cabin was wonderful. And if it had been any other time than August, I would have only amazing things to say. But... I would have really loved to have read a review like this before I stayed. We stayed in the cabin in mid August and there is no AC. If you look closely at the listing, "AC" is not checked, so you should know that going in. However, it is hot. And I mean so incredibly hot, we had to leave all day and only come back at night where it was still 88 degrees. And upstairs it's even hotter. The fans only circulate the warm air. And while nice they have them (they are portable not in the ceiling), they don't help much when it's in the high 80s inside the cabin. It bakes. We had a really hard time sleeping because it was so hot. Anyway....we would totally come back here again - just never in the summer when it's above 75 degrees outside during the day. This cabin is lovely - and so charming - and I am in no way trying to bash the place. But it needs to be said. Our mistake was not realizing there was no AC ahead of time. So I'm saying it now to make sure everyone is aware. So, there it is. Now you know :)
