Grill up some burgers on the gas BBQ on the deck or if you don't feel like cooking, find amazing eateries nearby in Carnelian Bay, or try Tahoe Vista and Tahoe City less than 4 miles away.

Wonderful, cozy cabin

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cabin, right by the lake. It was cozy, and conveniently located between King's Beach and Tahoe City in either direction. Was perfect for us and we will definitely look to stay here again next time we roll through Tahoe.

Lovely average cabin

Don't expect the Ritz and you will not be disappointed. This is an older, quaint, 'family' cabin with lots of things that could be improved. That said, we had a great time. The heat worked. The cooking utensils were lacking but we fixed what we could and supplemented what was there with a few additions. It would have been great to have a firewood option so we didn't spend time and money on grocery store firewood. The downstairs bedroom needs a TV. The living room TV needs to be bigger and needs either Roku or to be a smart TV. We had to buy AAA and AA batteries for remotes, a clock and something else I can't remember right this second. The price was right for what we got.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Filthy

The carpets have never been cleaned and it is a pet-friendly place. The messes were clearly not addressed by anyone. The amount of dust and cobwebs on the curtains and higher places was gross. The kitchen was poorly stocked of basics like tin foil, plastic bags, garbage bags ect, and disorganized. The pots and pans were put away unwashed and the cabinet that they were in was nasty. We were all very dissapointed in the filth we had to endure on our family vacation. I did more cleaning there than my own house. The beds were in very poor shape. One rock hard the other was a pit. The pull out couch was bad as well.

Wouldn’t go back

Got there after dark and the house numbers could not be found. They were there but were not lit up. Numbers on the garbage can we’re so washed out they were no help. Called the (888) numbers three times and got no answer. Just too old and rustic for our liking.

Palisades Ski Trip

The property needs some TLC. The exterior of the property is rundown; there are lots of marks on walls and doors; heating system is antiquated; window coverings on the back of the house are either missing or completely sheer. Thought the property looked clean, until a pair of underwear was found under the bed and two old bars of soap in the bath. The location and neighborhood are very convenient. But the property feels rundown.

Perfect pet friendly property

Great place to stay for several days during the long holiday. Pretty centered with all the snow activities we wanted to do as well as proximity to the beach. Hard to find at night because house numbers are not easily visible but overall good location. We were happy with our stay and the house!

Cozy, Great Location and Dog Friendly

My husband and two other family members had a wonderful time staying at Moose Cabin. The linens and towels were fresh and the house was clean. There is a cozy fireplace, but you'll have to go buy wood and a starter log. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare food. There is a nice, big TV in the living room for watching movies and a TV in the bedroom upstairs. The sheets and bed were comfortable and the pillows weren't old. We ski, snow board and cross country ski everyday. Tahoe XC is a dog friendly cross country ski area only 5 minutes from this cute cabin. We will definitely stay there again. Our main reason for staying there was the location and the dog friendly policy. We were happy.

Good Place

This property had a nice location and brings back the seventies for those who know. Good working heater, TV, laundry, etc. Snow removal service pales compared to adjacent neighbors. Not keen on early check-out while asking for light cleaning and trash disposal while paying a cleaning service fee. Would still stay there again.
