Great location
This cabin was perfect for the 8 of us. Two families. The kids annoyed the big room upstairs and there was enough space we didn’t feel on top of each other. Walking to the shops in Tahoe city was super easy .5 mile walk and the back road was perfect for avoiding 4th of July traffic in the city.
