The cabin was in a great location for our family to enjoy the sights around Lake Tahoe and the hiking trails right out the back door were lovely and convenient. The kitchen was well stocked for everything we needed to make a Thanksgiving dinner and more. The three levels spread the family out nicely. The baby gates were a very welcome addition to protect our two toddler grandchildren from the stairs. We also enjoyed the pool table and ping pong. The only downside to our trip to Bear Haven was a stomach flu my son came down with over the weekend and ended up sharing with me. Packing up and traveling 8 hours home was a tough challenge. I do recommend this location and cabin for families visiting Lake Tahoe!

good location but could use new mattresses. floors were way to squeky for people on the floors below. loved the ping pong and pool table

The cabin was very nice inside. We had plenty of room for out extended family of 4 parents, 2 grandparents, and 4 teens. Spent most of our time near Chambers and Sunnyside, and the public beach area at Chambers. We love that area.

We had 6 adults and 4 kiddos under 5. The bedroom layout worked perfectly for us. We all had our space if needed. We used the beach and pool almost daily. A great perk. Kitchen very well stocked. Lots of books and movies for all. The gameroom was such fun for the adults and kids. We did have an issue with the hot tub not working. The hosts did all they could to get it working for our stay. There are a lot of steep stairs. Something to consider if you have little ones. Gates are provided, but they are older. We figured out a way to make it work! We made the best memories there as a family. I would definitely come back!

Bear Haven is a wonderful property and we had a great stay. This place is well stocked with toiletries, kitchen supplies and other items that make your stay enjoyable. The kitchen and living areas are well appointed with room for all. Saw one bear wandering the neighborhood to the delight of the grandkids. Plenty of parking too.

Our family of 4 stayed at bear haven during the 4th of July week of 2023. The house was perfect for our stay. We enjoyed all of the space and it was set up perfectly. You can sleep a lot more than 4 people comfortably. There was enough bathroom space for everyone. The bedding was comfortable and clean. The house was as described. The internet was decently fast, the kitchen was well stocked, and plenty of games to entertain. The lower-level game room was great for watching movies and playing ping pong or pool. The hot tub works great and is amazing to relax in at the end of the day. The washer and dryer are high capacity and work amazing. We will for sure rent this property again in the future as it was such a great experience. We felt it was a great location for doing things all around the lake. It was 30 mins to either North or South Tahoe with plenty to do close by. A few things did not work while we were there. The outside flood lights did not function but the owner was aware and an electrician was coming to fix the issue the day we left. Also, both DVD players did not work which was a bummer with the great movie selection there was. This was communicated to the owner and it will be taken care of. It was the middle of summer and there were some ants but there was some bug/ant spray that worked great. The driveway is very steep so having an SUV is a good idea. Overall we loved our stay and the communication was amazing. We will be back for sure!! Thanks!!!

This is a good house in a great neighborhood. The downstairs game room is really fun for families with kids. My son loved playing pool and ping pong. The hot tub is also so lovely. Having access to Chamber Landing beach and pool club was so nice. There’s so much to love- the proximity to the bike path and water sports rental spots. The only downsides to the house are that due to the nature of the house, you can hear a lot from one room to the next. If you’re on the 2nd floor, you can hear conversations and footsteps in the 3rd floor rooms. Even the heating and the spa pump echo through the rooms. Not great for light sleepers. Also we killed about 5 spiders in our week long stay. But that’s what happens when you rent a house in the woods. Finally- the house next door is under construction and looks like it won’t finish anytime soon. While the noise didn’t bother us, it would have been nice to know this prior to arrival. Some people might object to construction workers being present 7am-5pm within 10 feet of the front door.

We loved our stay at Bear Haven. Perfect place for a large group! We had everything we needed and the labels around the cabin were very helpful. We would highly recommend!

This house was great for our family Easter Getaway. Plenty of room, well stocked, good location and great beds! I would also like to add that the owners were very responsive!

Had all we needed for a fun week in the snow!

We went in the dead of winter and it was wonderful! We had a great time. We had a few issues with WiFi and the table but Debbie and Dan responded quickly and were very helpful. Would recommend!

Our family of two couples and two single adult children had more than enough space in this property! The house was clean and the hot tub hot! It was about a half hour drive to Palisades, 15 min to Tahoe City, and a little over an hour from Reno. It is very close to Homewood but don't plan to ski in and ski out… its too far for that. Also if Tahoe is expecting snow be prepared to shovel your way in and out of the driveway…nobody’s fault, the snowplow for the road plows you in and their personal snowplow person isn’t able to be there on demand. Also the driveway is a hill so be prepared to haul stuff up and down the hill in the winter as even all wheel drive cant get up the hill. Four wheel or all wheel drive was a must for the back roads to get to the house. All in all though a great place to rent and we would recommend to anyone.

The house is great. The game room was a very good plus. Great location and very well equipped. Hosts were very easy to communicate with.

This is the perfect cabin for your getaway on Tahoe’s west shore. The 3 stories fit our group very well, with space to spread out. Cable TVs throughout and high speed wifi were appreciated so we could enjoy nature without being completely unplugged. There was an issue with the wifi while we were there but Dan was quick to reply and fixed the problem quickly and made things right. The driveway is quite steep so we couldn’t park at the top in the heavy snow, but it made for a fun sled hill for us with our small children. Cute cabin and great communication will bring us back here again.

Great communication with responsive hosts. Awesomely-stocked kitchen that made cooking a Thanksgiving-away really easy. Very cozy bedrooms, blankets, and fireplace. Plus we loved the hot tub!

had a great time, place worked out well for us.

We love coming to this cabin! It’s big enough for the entire family without feeling crammed. It has games galore and is surrounded by beautiful nature & only a short walk to the water. We’ve stayed twice now, and will definitely be back in the future

Overall the property was good. The location is really good, especially if you love the west shore, and in particular Meeks Bay. The property had nice amenities...the wi-fi was the best we've experienced in any Tahoe rental. The property owners were amazing to work with and very responsive to questions and requests.

Tahoe is absolutely beautiful. We so enjoyed Bear Haven 🐻. It was very comfortable and the owners of the cabin have been the best, we've experienced, to work with. Great memories were created. I'm grateful for opportunities like this... and to be with my amazing family. Thank you for allowing us to use your warm, comfortable place.

We had a great stay at Bear house. The house is well equipped and allowed our group to spread out. The house does need some updating, some examples; the couches are not comfortable and the main one is being held up by pieces of wood, the fridge has broken drawers, old TVs (with vcrs) and lots of carpet. The location was nice in Homewood, and about a 10 minute drive to Tahoe city. The hosts were great with communication, and overall we enjoyed our stay.

We had family and a couple friends visit and the home easily accommodated us all. Very cozy backed up to woods, very tranquil and still close to the lake.. We would stay here again.

Clean, well stocked, lovely location. Exactly what was advertised. Quiet neighborhood. No issues whatsoever.

We had everything we needed for our annual family vacation. Cabin was stocked. The kids loved the game room.

Stay was nice, kitchen was well stocked, washer & dryer handy. Hot tub was nice and warm but not terribly clean. Lots of stairs that are not great for the little ones! The forest views were great and property was centrally located!

Great cabin with lots of space for sleeping and spreading out for various activities. As much as we wanted to see some bears, following all of the property bear safe rules was the way to go and kept us all safe and no bears were cited.
