Great location. Close to DL Bliss, Emerald Bay, Meeks Bay. Extremely expensive but so is everything lakefront in Tahoe. Clean and rustic. Owner was responsive to questions. The dock is a fantastic place to lounge but it is shared with the neighbor.

Beautiful, relaxing place

We spent a relaxing week at the cabin. There was more than enough room for me, my wife, and our four kids. Being right on the water was great, we spent mornings and evenings on the deck, and several afternoons kayaking or paddle boarding from the dock. Being right in between South Tahoe and Tahoe City gave us plenty of options for days when we wanted to go out to eat out other activities. We also very much enjoyed the selection of board games that were in the house. We'd definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay for a family getaway. The location is beyond perfect and you cannot beat dock access and a buoy! 2 kayaks were fun to get around on. The house is dated but well taken care of. Comforters could use updating but we were there in summer so didn’t even need them. Also possible upgrade to smart TV or have DVDs available- we had 4 young kids and movie nights would have been nice for them. Overall great stay and would return!

Amazing experience

Had a lovely time celebrating Father’s Day weekend with the family. There’s an awesome view of the lake and easy access to the dock. The house itself was very clean, and the beds were comfortable! Super cool fireplace that we enjoyed on the chilly nights. We did see a bear, so the instructions to lock everything up before going out for the day should be taken seriously! Thanks for letting us stay!

Lake front beauty!

This property was exactly as described and we loved the rustic Tahoe cabin vibe! We had adults and kids. The kitchen was better than I was expecting, I always bring our own non-stick pans for eggs etc to a VRBO and I would suggest that to anyone who wants a non stick pan. The fridge was new, not the one in the picture (it was large and perfect). The dock is shared and the neighbors are lovely. Beds are comfortable but if you are driving bring what makes you happy (pillow blanket etc) but they are fully stocked with linen. Bring your own life vest if need them. Loved it thanks for having us ❤️!

Tahoe 2021

Our family trip was very nice in spite of the smoke from the fires. The rustic cabin has a lot of room and an outstanding view of the lake. The water level was high so we did not have much of a beach, but the neighbors were very nice and allowed us to use their beach. It was great to have the use of the kayaks, but difficult to carry them from the lower level, up and down to the water. We found the stairs to the dock, lake, beach quite a climb and a bit of a challenge. The furnishings, rugs, dishes and pans are all very old and shabby, but OK. There were clean towels and extra blankets. We were not able to get the TV to work, the downstairs bath/shower did not work correctly. The patio furniture is worn out plastic with beat up cushions. We were warned of the bears and did encounter one when we were sitting outside at lunch time. He was about 10 yards away and ran up a tree when he saw us. He stayed in the tree for the day and was gone the next morning. It is important to follow the owners instructions about bear safety. . Even though the cabin definitely needs updating, it worked out fine for our family. All of this being said, we enjoyed our trip

Special place on Rubicon Bay. The neighbors on each side are very nice and the views from the deck are fantastic. This isn't one of those new palaces on Lake Tahoe, it's a modest home but clean and well kept. The host Jack is a gentleman and easy to work with. My family loves the place.

Great Stay!

An amazing property! We absolutely loved our stay. The kayaks were a huge hit, we used them everyday. We were at Tahoe with 2 fires nearby. First few days were smoky, but the skies cleared and we were able to enjoy the fabulous view. It was really great. We hiked Rubicon Peak. Trailhead is very close to the property. The view from the top was totally worth the strenuous hike. The grill was awesome and we cooked up the fish we caught on a fishing trip. Great game selection, we played games every evening. We only had one question for Jack and he was very responsive. Overall fantastic stay and would return.

Relaxing get away.

We really enjoyed our time at the cabin. It is exactly as portrayed in the photos. When we rent a place, we don't stray far. Being able to walk out the back and get in the water or just enjoy the view of the lake from the house & deck was what we wanted. We were not disappointed! The house was clean. There were a couple items under the beds and items left in the refrigerator and freezer, which I let Jack know so he can tell his cleaning crew, but otherwise good. Beds were OK- not the best, but not the worst either. Kitchen was fine. As a previous review said, if you like to cook, you may want to bring some stuff. Cutting knives were scarce and very dull. My husband sharpened them as best he could, but the cabin could use a new set of knives. The only real disappointment was not being able to use the grill. We knew it was a charcoal grill which is what my father in law uses and had a special birthday dinner planned. However, once we arrived, we found out we could not use it due to the fire danger. Had we known, we would have planned a different meal. I contacted Jack and he said he had just been made aware of the new regulation. Hopefully Jack will get a gas grill which is allowed even with the fire danger. Overall, we were happy with our stay. We brought our paddle boards and took them and Jack’s Kayaks out every day. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrises and sunsets (made even more pretty due to the smoke). We would definitely stay again. Thanks Jack!
