(only applies to Fall 2025) (plus taxes and vrbo fee) Bear Haven lies at the edge of an old growth forest, with trails directly behind the cabin. We are thrilled to share that after a 2 year battle to convert Homewood Mountain Resort and ski area to a private club, it now will remain accessible to the public. The resort will be open for the 2025-2026 season and a Gondola and other improvements will begin next summer. You are renting directly from a long-time owner, no extra fees like management fee, administrative fee, hot tub fees, pet fees. The VRBO service fee still applies. (Taxes include mandatory 10% lodging tax and a new North Tahoe Business Tourist Tax of 2% So many activities to keep your family busy without ever getting in the car: Ping pong and pool tables in the game room; Hot tub on the back deck; Homewood Mountain Resort and forest open space behind the house, guests can hike, bike, mountain bike, build a fort or ski into the backyard when conditions permit in Winter. Full Chamberlands privileges in summer (Father’s Day thru Labor Day). Bear Haven is the perfect cabin in the woods for year-round indoor and outdoor fun. Located near the south base of Homewood ski area, Lagoon Road is family friendly, close to the bike path and backs up to forest! Three level rustic A-frame cabin with a remodeled kitchen: new cabinets, double oven, counters, refrigerator gas cooktop and dishwasher. New double vanity in the master bath. Always trying to make improvements to the house so our guests will have an enjoyable stay. Great house for any season! BEAR HAVEN is the perfect home to gather family and friends for your year-round fun and wildlife viewing. The house is 3 levels: 1st floor has mud room, game room, master (king bed), full bath and laundry room. The 2nd floor has open living room/kitchen, bedroom (queen and twin), 3/4 bath, large front deck and back deck with new spa and 5 burner gas grill BBQ. 3rd floor has two bedrooms (queen and full beds in front; queen and twin beds in back) These share a 1/2 bath, and each has a small deck. WINTER: Enjoy a 4-day weekend, our guests love to ski at uncrowded Homewood Mountain Resort (walk or ski down Lagoon Road to the South base); then ski into the backyard for intermediate skiers, depending of course on snow conditions. SNOWPLOWING, we are on the regular schedule for snow plowing, however the contractor has up to 300 homes to plow. If there is a big storm when you arrive you may have to move snow to get into the house. The street plowing may create a berm in front of the driveway Spring and fall are the best in Tahoe, crowds are gone and wildlife abounds. Park your car and bike or hike in the woods right out the back yard or down the bike path. Our families build natural forts right out the back! Walk or bike to the General Store in Homewood or along the bike path to the beach and Tahoma amenities. Very quiet and peaceful. Relax in the private hot tub or by one of the warm wood fireplaces! Summer rentals are weekly with long weekends available early and late. Rates include the famous Chamberlands Club with private beach, pool and tennis courts (about a mile away along the bike path). Dates of operation: Father's Day weekend through Labor Day; 10:30-5:30 (Lifeguard staffing) Shuttle Bus Service approximately July 1st-August 20th 11:00-6:30pm and passes right in front of Bear Haven. Grandma, grandpa and the young ones can come and go while the older kids hang out at the beach all day! Guests to the west shore are often confused about the summer amenities here: The amenities are actually two memberships, one to the Chamberlands Beach and Mountain Club which maintains the two private beaches with roped swim areas, lifeguards and summer day and evening family activities. The second is the Chamberlands Recreation Club which includes and maintains entrance to the private heated pool with lifeguards, lounges and private restrooms. The private pool and beaches are integrated into a public pier, bar and restaurant right on the lake. The origin of these clubs can be confusing. Upon developing the Chamberlands condominiums about 35 years ago, the adjacent homes in Chamberlands I and II were offered a chance to purchase a membership in one or both clubs. The opportunity for the pool/tennis club was once in a lifetime and is linked to the specific home's title. At this time, most homes in Chamberlands maintain a membership in the Beach and Mountain Club, while only a portion of homes have access to the pool and tennis facilities with a hefty yearly fee. We have both. This part of the lake also has a forest service pet-friendly public portion of beach available to other homes in the area (Ex: Tahoma, McKinney, Homewood) which is on the southern edge of this sandy beach area of Lake Tahoe. We have a camera at the front of the house so we can see the road, trash area and driveway. (for construction parking, trash by the road and snow in the winter). ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Ski-in/ski-out access - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Heated pool - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Gas grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Billiards/pool table - Heated pool - Ski-in/ski-out access - Snow sports gear - Table tennis - Tennis - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 3,001 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/99000000/98540000/98534500/98534427/51e86fdd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Birdie Time Luxury Home - On Golf Course, Hot Tub, Walk to Beach Tahoe Vista - Hot tub - Kitchen - Pet friendly - Parking available 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-30&endDate=2026-01-31&selected=98534427&PinnedHotelID=98534427&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99500000/99496200/99496138/42ca1df2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ellis Peak Retreat by Tahoe Getaways - 3BR Pet-Friendly w/ Hot Tub & Close to Tahoe City Tahoe Tavern Heights - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-30&endDate=2026-01-31&selected=99496138&PinnedHotelID=99496138&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/24000000/23300000/23292200/23292173/363b35e2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spring Deals!

The only thing we weren’t 100% satisfied with was the attention to detail with cleaning done in the bathrooms and kitchen. We had to wipe counters, sinks and toilets when we arrived. Owners did offer to send someone over, but we didn’t want to wait for that to be done. Close to hiking, biking and lake activities. ##### Debra S.

I loved the cabin feel , had awesome decks , everything was clean and labeled for ease . The location was better than I intended . Not a beach front , but close .. one thing that got to me and everyone in my group were the stairs . To steep and narrow to climb or go down.

Only reason I gave the cleanliness 3 stars, was because the hot-tub didn’t seem to be cleaned. The property managers were very responsive to all our questions. I would recommend the furniture be upgraded. The location was amazing even though Homewood ski resort was closed for this season the drive to Palisades Tahoe was not bad at all. I highly recommend this place for a familiy or families. ##### Anthony S. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynsey J.

The ten of us were able to spend high quality family time together. A highlight was momma bear & her two cubs that we saw on several occasions. While maintaining Debbie & Dave's "Bear Aware" advice we experienced zero issues. We would love to do a family-week in mid to late summer to enjoy all Lake Tahoe has to offer. ##### Stephen I.

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! ##### Susan P. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kimberly T.

It was in good location to everything we needed And I like the option of using the private beach area for members. There was a few small Items that could be addressed. If you have a game room, you should have plenty of supplies. There was no ping-pong balls which we had to purchase and there was no chalk for the pool table. Toilet paper was one ply, I think two ply would be much better. There is multiple cobwebs in the house around all the windows that we had to utilize. I would still stay there again the house had plenty of space and we enjoyed our time there. ##### Kimberly T. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucy R.

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! ##### Lucy R. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dynette R.

There were 8 adults and 3 children in our group. We fit very comfortably. The kitchen was well-equipped for us to do all the cooking we had planned. There were more than enough dishes. The host has supplied the cabin with space heaters and fans, and we used both since it was quite cool for the first few days, then heated up drastically toward the middle of the week. There is also bear spray and a bear horn kept on top of the fridge, but we didn't see any signs of bears. The host responded to a couple of questions very quickly. The best thing about this cabin was access to the private beach and pool. Anyone who has visited Tahoe recently knows the beaches are so crowded that it's impossible to find a spot (and the lake water is very cold!). The private access made a huge difference. Some of us were pool people and others were bea ##### Dynette R. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Melissa D.

When we arrived the hot tub was super gross (solids floating it it and stuff growing on the walls of the tub). They sent the hot tub guy same day but it had ruined it for us bc it was just too nasty to get in after seeing it lol. It was a slight bummer bc my brother in law had never been in one and was really looking forward to it. The cabin was great for a place to crash after playing at the lake all day. It’s older (carpets look pretty rough ) but we anticipated that compared to the prices of other cabins. Showers worked well and the kitchen had lots of dishes etc. I brought my own linens and towels and if stains on these items bug you I recommend you bring your own as well. It’s a very quiet neighborhood and we all had a great family trip. The location of the cabin is great, right down the road from awesome swim spots. I never found the key that was suppose to provide access to the the private beaches the listening specified but that was okay bc there were plenty of places to go. ##### Melissa D.
