Cozy Cottage, 10 minute walk to the lake

We loved this warm, cozy cottage as a jumping off point for hikes and views of beautiful Lake Tahoe: a 10 minute drive to Bliss State Park, 5 minutes to Sugar Pine Point State Park, and access to state park hiking trails by simply walking through the neighborhood from the house. It’s a small house, but had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was evident from first observation that the owner of the cottage treats the property with great TLC. This was no sterile, generic cabin. It was full of family games, beautiful photographs of the area, books that revealed the owner as a lover of nature (trail guides, wildflower maps, and more). The house was clean and the kitchen well-supplied with dishes, utensils, pots and pans. Just two “heads-ups”: the company that manages the property requires that renters purchase damage insurance, so it’s good to know that upfront. Leila at the management company was very patient and helpful with all questions. Also, the two bedrooms are upstairs, with the one bathroom downstairs. This being said, I would definitely stay here again and felt fortunate that we landed here for our getaway to the lake.

Vintage Tahoe

This cozy A-frame cabin in the woods will bring you right back to your youth, 70's and 80's kids. It's like walking into Grandma and Grandpa's cabin - and you know what they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. It has everything you need lovingly maintained "as is" since 1986, from the vintage double oven range combo to the plethora of classic board games. Anyone up for Clue? We all loved our time here, even the screen dependent children, who learned how to operate a VCR and watched the original theatrical cuts of the Star Wars Trilogy, proving that Han shot first. There is a fantastic backyard, which was great for snow play for the kids away from the crowds of the resorts and snoparks. Just gotta watch out for the Agnes Kravitz that lives next door. We were very comfortable here, and we'd definitely stay again.
