Great house and amazing location

The house provided a base for a fantastic family vacation at the lake. The views were amazing and the house had all the essentials we needed, plus we loved its quirky character. The highlight was definitely the dock and access to the water. Will definitely visit again!

Gorgeous Views

I have never stayed at a place with more beautiful views. We are an active family on a ski trip but found the best part of the trip was staring out the windows. The hot tub was amazing too.

Pure Bliss

What can be more lovely than a ‘home away from home’ on the lake? I was luckily enough to witness the October Supermoon from the deck, the whole lake was glittering in the moon light. Such a beautiful hidden gem.

Feels like home

I love this place. I grew up camping in South Tahoe/ Fallen Leaf Lake and my family has been visiting Tahoe since the 1920s. There is something special about this place that makes it both awe-inspiring and relaxed. Being able to stay at this house is such a joy — I hope everyone who visits will treasure it and treat it with care. It is a true Tahoe family lake house.

Breathtaking View of the Lake

One of the best Views of anywhere you will stay. Cozy cabin, fully stocked. We loved the patio and the hot tub! Would love to come back in the summer when we could take advantage of its lake access. Beds and couches were a little rough. But besides that it was a perfect stay. Host was nice and responsive with communication. We would come back

Rustic Gem in Tahoe

This place is rustic but we love it! The property is so cool, chill and low key. The view from the deck, the dock and just the peacefulness of the area was amazing. Great location, close to town and dollar point hiking trail were we saw a mama bear and cub on our hike! Paddle boarding right off the dock and then having a hot tub with this Amazing view was heaven. The house was very unique and lots of character. Again it’s Rustic so don’t expect the Ritz. It’s about the company your with and the beauty of Tahoe Thanks again for sharing your place with us

Absolutely perfect way to experience Tahoe

Such a great find ON the lake! So much that we just booked it again. It felt like home in so many ways and just wonderful to have the deck with lake view for morning coffee and quick walk down the steps to hang out on the lake after daily activities. The place had all the essentials and the host communicated well when we had a hiccup. Additional instructions about trash process for people not familiar with the area would help, as well as advanced reminder about operating the bear wires. We figured it out though :)

Great rustic cabin on the water

House was exactly as advertised and definitely fit our needs. Hot tub was great after a long day of hiking or after a cold dip in the lake. Plenty of room. Son Loved the basement bedroom that had a walkout right to the hot tub. Master shower had door but a low flow shower head so we mostly used the tub shower even though no shower curtain. Lots of condiments coffee were already there, just no toilet paper anywhere so make sure to bring a roll before you get chance to shop.

PANORAMIC VIEW

Beautiful view from almost everywhere in the home-kitchen, eating area, dining room and 3 bedrooms. A stunning, beutiful view!! The quirky things: for some reason, no shower cutains in 2 of 3 showers, meaning wiping the floor up after each shower. No window screens, so hard to cool off the house on a sunny day without inviting all the bugs. Construction directly in front of the home the week we were there was a bummer, loud and smelly. Beds were ok, kitchen had lots of dishes. Rent this place for the view!

carnelian bay breezes

what a gem of a property - loaded with rustic charms - not filled with new store bought decor but age-old heirlooms - so many cool different unique lamps - can do different soft lighting arrangements for early morn , when you’re cooking dinner and post-dinner sipping sessions - and each room its own feel - you cannot express the beauty of the views of the lake, trees and surrounding mountains - have to be there to sit with it - radiant sunrises with morning mists engulfing the lake - then multi-layered pastel sunsets pinks blues purples that yield quickly to exquisite starry darkness - entire stay was super quiet we did not hear a peep anywhere besides rustling winds - we enjoyed so much we would like to make a family tradition - 3 different subsets of family with their own kids , all fit comfortably with own spaces - the basement was my favorite space , cool walk-up concrete and green tile shower , with a door that opens to jacuzzi , and the first line of bear defense (j.k.) like i said we didn’t hear a peep
