The cabin is located on the west shore 10 min from downtown Tahoe City with shops, restaurants and night life.

With miles of paved and unpaved trails you can bike/walk for days exploring the sights. Or, get the group together for a tennis match on the homeowners courts located walking distance to the cabin.

This Classic Tahoe home greets you with high beamed ceilings and the charm of a 70's old school ski cabin. Mountain decor optimizes comfort over fancy and the views of Twin Peaks will keep you occupied.

The house is chalet-style and has an open floor plan that can accommodate your family and friends well. The living room area has 22 foot cathedral ceilings with floor to ceiling windows and you won't be able to keep your eyes off the beautiful views of Twin Peaks. Two sliding glass doors exit out to a sunny wrap around deck with BBQ and patio furniture to enjoy the views. This level has a cozy kitchen, living area with fireplace and dining nook. You can watch TV, enjoy the fireplace and views, or socialize with the rest of your group. Up the stairs is a loft bedroom with a queen bed, 2 twins and TV. This is a great spot for a family or kids.

Off the living area is bathroom attached to a bedroom with a queen bed and a Master Bedroom with king-size bed, half bath off a changing area, and walk in closet.
Downstairs has 3 bedrooms, full bathroom, laundry room, hot tub and sauna The sauna is a good size (2 levels) with enough room to spread out in. After enjoying the sauna, cool off in the shower room with 4 shower heads and a glass atrium that looks out into the forest. Or, skip to the hot tub with great mountain views and wildlife,
Down the hall are two bedrooms have queen beds with sliders that exit to a deck with hot tub, one bedroom has a queen and twin. All the bedrooms have TV's and hotel style linens with extra pillows and blankets for a great nights sleep.

The cabin's location is equally as good in the wintertime and summertime. Tahoe City is the heart of the North Shore with many events and activities to enjoy. When you arrive at the house, all beds will be made and towels are hung, ready for you to relax. The furnishings are user friendly with plenty of areas for your family and friends. High ceilings with large wooden beams, triangle shaped windows, and mountain decor compliment the 'Tahoe' feeling. The location and amenities of this home makes this a great vacation home year-round.

Awesome location, great house

The house was perfect for our group of 12. Super easy access to the mountain, and hosts were very responsive. The WiFi was not consistent enough to work from the house, though the hosts did everything they could to help.

Second stay

This was our second year in a row booking this property for our kids’ school’s mid-winter break. The house is suited for two families traveling together. The location is unparalleled for access to Alpine Meadows. We had a very comfortable stay (again)!

Tahoe Weekend with Friends

My friends and I came from all over the country (Kansas, Colorado, Wisconsin, California) to meet in the middle, and boy did we end up with the best house! The communication was great, I was able to get both an early check in and late check out. There was more than enough bed space, towels, linens, extra blankets, etc. The neighborhood was beautiful, quiet, and literally connected to the ski mountain. We got so lucky.

Wonderful Stay

Perfect choice for our family getaway to Tahoe. The location is near several places to enjoy either the mountain and as well as the lake. The house is well-appointed and has excellent views. It was a great fit for our family gathering of 12. Would book again!

Perfect Getaway!

An outstanding choice for our vacation in Tahoe. Location is awesome near the mountain as well as the lake. The house is well-equipped and the team is very quick to support with any issues. Enjoyed the hot tub and the comfortable bedding. Excellent views, clean, well appointed and the house was a great fit. We could not have asked for more.

The best location!

We were thrilled to stay 2 min drive from the base of Sherwood. A driver would do two drop off runs and then we were able to park in the small lot with an amazing attendant, Brenda. Some of our party were even able to ski from the backside of Lakeview down to the house. All communication with property managers was thorough and prompt. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Stairs

The first set of stairs outside and the inside stairs were a challenge for me. I have in my 70s and had a lot of trouble getting up and down those. The rest of my younger family had no problem. But this is something you might want to mention If a group of Senior people were looking to rent. Or anybody with a handicap.

1 week with 8 adults, 10-year old, and small dog

This review is for a mid July visit. House has lots of plusses -extremely quiet neighborhood, easy access to the Tahoe Rim Trail. Kitchen was fairly well stocked with pots/pans, baking dishes, chopping boards, etc. House was clean + enough bathroom towels for our party. Plenty of trash cans in bear locker. Each room & common space has Roku TV. Can stream whatever you want. Internet was generally able to handle high use. Great patio furniture outside on a nice deck. Some challenges that management company was quick to address @ oven issue & handyman sent same day. Some essentials missing like kitchen towels. Leaking dishwasher on last night, but given attention of the company, I suspect they would have followed up to make sure it worked. It was clear the company wanted our group to have a good experience as they were far more responsive than most rentals I've been in. To decide if this VRBO is for you, know: *Multiple sets of stairs from the driveway up to the house,1 set of stairs from the entry door to the main floor with kitchen & common space & 1 more set of stairs from main floor to common area. *Main table realistically seats 7. Larger group needs card table in the house + extra chairs. Our group eating together was a tad cramped. *2 folks at a time in kitchen. *Hot tub was lovely w/ good instructions though cover unwieldy. *Common area squeezed 9 *Overall good value given price & late booking +pet. *Close to ski area so I imagine winter would be quite nice.
