We had a great family vacation here (4 people with 2 teenage boys). Some people mentioned not liking the bear wires, but this is pretty standard in this part of Tahoe. Bears have been known to break into the homes! Others mentioned only 1 dish towel, but there were plenty for us. There were also plenty of bath towels provided (including wash cloths). As mentioned in the listing, you do need to provide your own toilet paper and paper towels. In addition, there is no food storage (zip locks, saran wrap, tupperware, etc). There was a roll of foil that I suspect was left by a previous renter. There was not a lot of cupboard space to store our groceries except above the fridge. There was some shampoo and body soap in the upstairs bathroom, but none in the downstairs. I would recommend bringing your own. The cabin itself is cozy and fairly well-equipped except for the above mentioned items. The wifi is not great and we did have to restart the router each day, so don't plan to work from the cabin. If you're in Tahoe, that's the last thing you'll want to be doing anyway! We never turned on the TVs so I can't comment on that part. The couch seems new and was very comfortable and the deck was nice and big!

Very enjoyable

We attended my son's wedding at Plumbjack, but opted to stay in this cute little cabin. We have family from Sweden and the little Swedish touches in the cabin were heart felt. The outdoor porch was an absolute delight! Penny our property manager has always been so kind and helpful during the entire reservation process. We would love to stay again in the future. Thank you for making our visit a memorable one!

This cabin was perfect for our family for our holiday. Because its personal and "well lived in" the vibe was casual and relaxed. In some ways, the informal and personal touches make it a warmer and more hospitable than more modern and austere places. It's not fancy but it's comfy. While not quite walkable in winter, Tahoe City is at the bottom of the hill for some good eats and a small general store. Of note; bring everything you need, as is clearly stated in the description, from TP to coffee; it's a little more "bring your own" than most places. We had a great time and the host was great too!

Cozy cabin, it was perfect for our family . Kitchen fully equipped and I was able to make a huge thanksgiving dinner. Close neighbors were friendly. Conveniently located not to far from stores, and we got to enjoy the private beach. Myself and my family had a blast.

This was our second stay at this property. The view is great, the cabin is nice. Location is perfect, its close to stores and restaurants, but not so close that you don't have privacy as well. Greg S

Beautiful property at a fantastic location for Lake Tahoe and walking the trails in National Forest. Highly recommended.

I would love to rent this home again.

Great communication with Penny who quickly responded to any questions. (Hope you get the Wi-Fi sorted!) Check in straightforward and the cabin has a homely feel to it. Comfortable and well stocked. First time in Tahoe and location was great - 10 mins drive to centre of Tahoe City Hope to be back

Loved this spot, it was up a hill so felt out of town but close to everything at the same time. We loved being in the woods, quiet but with people around so it wasn't super remote. Super bonus was the private beach access, such a pleasant surprise. Just what we needed, all the comforts of home with a cabin feel.

We wanted a place to stay while we visited our daughter in Tahoe. This house suited our needs perfectly. The house sits in a nice neighborhood that is very close to a popular trail head. The house itself is spacious and the deck is very nice. The beds were very comfortable for both couples staying here. The loft upstairs gets very warm during the day, but cooled off perfectly for a good nights sleep. Overall, the house is well worn but clean and comfortable and priced accordingly. We enjoyed our stay in the beautiful Lake Tahoe area and this house was a great choice for us.

We loved our stay!! Great location, cute tahoe cabin. Perfect for our trip.

The property was very nice and cozy. Great view. Owner is very nice and responds quickly. Overall great location and great experience.

Very Nice

Nice property, it was clean and cozy. It has a partial view of the lake, and everything is neat and in working order. We enjoyed our stay. As the owner points out in their instructions, it is near the top of a hill so be sure to have chains or a 4WD vehicle if you are coming in the winter.

This is a property owned by 3 people: a mother, a son, and a daughter-in-law. If you encounter any issues and must contact them, you are in for a difficult time. On the surface, the place looks very beautiful and seems like the ideal location for spending one's holiday residing in. However, We were unfortunately unable to experience any of this cabin's many features and luxuries due to unforeseen weather conditions that ended up blocking off the road to Lake Tahoe. The reason for this one star review isn't the actual house or location of the property, but the service received from the owners. Our family had planned and booked this cabin for several months and made several preparations before driving out 8 hours to this location. On our first day, we drove up 6 hours to Sacramento and planned on driving the remaining two hours the next day. However, there ended up being an extreme snow storm that blocked the highway around Lake Tahoe; there was no way for us to get in anywhere. This pushed us to have to rent an additional hotel to spend yet another night in a different city unfamiliar to us. Afterwards is where the main issue arises. Since we were unable to reach our cabin, we decided to request a refund... which ended up being denied due to the cabin owners’ "policy" of some sort that required customers to purchase an insurance plan in order to receive our money back in case of a cancellation. They said that the snow storm was not their fault that we couldn't make it to their property and we should've bought insurance. The snow storm also wasn't our fault that we could not make it to their cabin and they still charged us despite us not being able to use any of their property or arrive at their location. The snow storm was considered a natural disaster and they still would not reason with us. If they were just following company regulations, it would be understandable. But because the owners blatantly denied giving us our refund despite their legal ability to do so, it is evident that these owners are only after our money and do not care about our customer satisfaction. Think twice before booking at this place.

Weather was rain/slush so we spent more time in cabin than on the ski slopes. Hill is substantial but was plowed early. Bear fence is troubling. Beds, linens and kitchen all well appointed. Lots of eating, drinking, movies and card games. Thanks for sharing this cabin full of family history.

Our family had a wonderful ski weekend at this cabin. very spacious, and fully loaded with amenities. Conveniently located close to the North Shore, Tahoe City & several ski resorts. Owner was very responsive to our needs. We will definitely be back!

Lovely location. Comfortable beds. Well stocked kitchen

Cute and Cozy Cottage for a quiet stay.

Great location , helped us enjoy all that Tahoe has to offer . The trails behind the property in the forest, a very fun surprise . Thank you very much .

We really enjoyed our stay in this cabin! The beds were comfortable and the amenities were plentiful. We loved having access to the private beach. The cabin was clean and cozy. It was in a quiet neighborhood with great hiking trails. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck looking at the view of the lake through the trees. The owners were kind and informative. We hope to return one day!

Loved the location. The house was big enough for us to spread out. The private beach was awesome!!

The owners were great. Penny responded quickly and was supper friendly. But the house was out of dated. Found a nest of spiders underneath the rug in the living room. None of the t.vs worked except for the living room. We threw a sheet on the couches because of the feel and smell of them. The house was extremely hot. They only had 4 small fans! I was actually disappointed from the looks of the pictures to what the house looked like. For the price we paid the house could of been cleaner. I wouldn’t recommend.

Everything was good. The only problem was online listing said there was air conditioning. I texted the property owner and was told there was none. To open windows and turn on fans, it would cool off at night. It did cool off at night but was hot during the day. Air conditioning should not be listed. For summer people this would be a big problem because for whatever reason some people can't or don't sleep with open windows. Also the picture of the lake was misleading. Appeared as though you can see some of the lake from the cabin but you can't.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The location is ideal with a glimpse of the lake from the deck, hiking trails nearby and easy to access the lake and the river and all the wonderful locations on the Westside. We had a few concerns and the property owner was very responsive. The cabin is well loved and could use some maintenance time otherwise a good stay.

Close to some great mountain biking.

Really nice owner. Great location and the access to the private beach was great. Having small kids, I didn’t love the bear fence. I was more worried about one of my kiddos touching it than getting eaten by a bear. It is right on top of some of the windows and the front door. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay!

I used to live on the west shore of Lake Tahoe and wanted to rent a place close to Paige Meadows. The cabin is down the street from the entrance to this great hiking area with a view of the lake through the trees. The instructions regarding the bear fence weren't exactly accurate. The Stafix box is attached to the house on the deck. Turn this off by moving the switch all the way to the left. Then remove the bungee springs in front of the door. Penny was great and responded to my questions IMMEDIATELY. Nice, relaxing experience.

The basics are there, so it’s a good value. But there’s a reason It’s so much less expensive than other offerings in the area. This place is very well loved - in other words -it’s worn out. The major surfaces were clean but that’s it. The cabinets were coated with grease and splatters. There were dirty dishes in the cabinets (perhaps by a former renter?), the shower upstairs had soap spills and hair (yuck). The sofas smelled musty, like they were disintegrating. We put towels on them to feel comfortable sitting in them. The top of the fridge was layered in dirt and grease. (Yes we are tall so maybe not everyone would notice that). The blower motor had a strange honking sound when turning on or off. We got used to it eventually but it kept us up the first couple nights. They provide towels, but weirdly, no wash rags - for showering or for dishes. There was a single dish towel for our 5 day stay. The location was good though, and the access to the private beach was great.
