Hip Spin to Classic Cabin Charm - Honey Bear Cabin

Summary:

Vintage Chic! A-frame cabin conveniently centered one of North Shore’s most inviting neighborhoods and Recently Revamped to Offer a Hip Spin while keeping the Cozy Cabin Charm!



The Space:

"Honey Bear Cabin"

10 minute walk to beach at Waterman's Landing!

This Classic Mid-Century cabin is conveniently located in one of the North Shore’s most charming neighborhoods, Agate Bay.



• MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY: SEVEN (7) Persons TOTAL INCLUDING CHILDREN



• PET POLICY: No pets permitted



• NO AIR CONDITIONING: Like 99% of homes here in Lake Tahoe, this property DOES NOT have air conditioning, but fans will be provided.



• PARKING: Limited to 3 compact vehicles (fewer when snow conditions exist). Street parking is never permitted.



• DISCLOSURES:

*Must climb stairs. 5 steps leading into the house.

*Cabin is equipped with a bear deterrent system that must be turned off prior to entry and turned back on when you leave.

*Some amenities are only available in the peak summer season (grill, patio seating, etc.).

*Firewood not provided.



This family cabin sits adjacent to conservancy forest land which conveys a beautiful backdrop of solitude in nature, yet it is only a few blocks walk from the lake and Carnelian Bay shops. Filtered lake views from the spacious deck. Home still retains its original charm and character with exposed beams and vaulted ceilings, large, picturesque windows allowing for plenty of natural light, a wood burning fire place and an outside deck for entertaining, it also has modern day amenities and updates including stainless steel appliances in the kitchen (electric range, over-the-range microwave, fridge with top freezer but, no dishwasher), a new washer and dryer in the laundry room, high speed internet and two SMART TVs.



This easy and sweet family cabin has a great deck facing the wooded area that’s complete with a new propane gas grill, comfy patio seating and space for dining al fresco. Also located on the main floor is the kitchen and an open living area furnished with comfortable and stylish newer furniture - perfect for relaxing while viewing the snowcapped trees or natural beauty of the surrounding forest on a wintery day. If you prefer, you can head out on the large deck and view some of Tahoe's wildlife in their natural habitat. Property is situated next to Tahoe Conservancy Land where bears and wildlife are particularly active and sightings are common occurrences. It's certainly a unique experience to be able to enjoy these close encounters with such peace of mind since access to the elevated deck is equipped with Bear Deterrent Wires.



The home has three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The master suite and its attached bathroom with shower take up the entire top level and overlook the living space below. This bedroom is oversized and features a plush, new King bed. There’s also a television and dedicated work desk in this bright and airy suite. The additional bedrooms are downstairs and share a full bath with tub/shower. Each of these two cozy rooms have a queen bed and dressers for storing your things as well as plump sitting chairs. A self-inflating twin air bed can also be set up in the primary bedroom or living area for a 7th guest.



Bring your skis and enjoy the snow! Easy access and great location to Tahoe Palisades, Northstar Ski Resort, Mt. Rose and Homewood!

Perfect cabin in a perfect spot

Our weekend stay at Honey Bear cabin was wonderful. The location is perfect — in a quiet residential area close to the lake with easy access to hiking and water activities. The cabin is extremely cozy and well maintained. We highly recommend this property!

The whole place was so cozy and every couch and bed was super comfortable! Only thing I would note is that the street is quite dark at night so if you plan on driving around at night just make sure you have good headlights!

Family vacation gone very well

Cabin was exactly as described, perfect. Very clean, very comfortable, great location. Really quiet for the time we where there. All of the necessary plates, silverware, etc. was provided. Outside deck was great, good bbq to use. Nice surprise was the beach chairs and towels that were in the cabin for our use. And yes, we did use them. Just an all around enjoyable and relaxing time. Highly recommend this cabin and of course, visiting Lake Tahoe.

Great base camp in North Tahoe

Well located among tall trees in a neighborhood of homes minutes from the lake and 20 minutes from Truckee. Huge deck with a nice grill is great any time of day. The cabin is a bit dated and seems pricey compared to other VRBOs for what you get, but maybe that’s the area. The management company was outstanding, great communication throughout. Don’t miss paddling from Sand Harbor (kayak and board rentals on the beach, get there early), the rocks and water to the south are spectacular. Emerald Bay is an easy drive too, and Rubicon Peak was steep but worth it.

WYSIWYG

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cabin and location were great for a last-minute winter getaway. The cabin is old but well-maintained and warm. Only quirk is the arming/disarming of the bear deterrent system (electric fence). Better to have one than not, I suppose. We really enjoyed evenings by the fireplace.

Average old house

Nothing special about a very old house. A time capsule from the 70s with dirty patio furniture, single pane windows, old shower fixtures, a plywood repaired entry door and more: an overall beaten up mediocre facility. Luckily we didn’t spend much time in the house. Typical Tahoe cash cow belonging to someone who can charge +$500/night indefinitely without remodeling the house. As long as there are people visiting every day of the week they’ll keep going.

Cozy cabin close to lake

We really enjoyed our stay at this small cozy cabin and would stay there again. The amenities and things available were thoughtful and I would say the house is well stocked. We were the first guests with the new listing so maybe that played a part. The property manager was very well spoken, responsive and helpful before and during our stay. We found that for a party of 4 with two kids of seperate genders, we would have preferred if the second guest room had two beds or bunks or if the upstairs area was open to use but to be fair the listing was clear about this (kids ended up kicking us both nights...LOL). That being said, the wooded back porch, grill, proximity to lake and privacy of this cabin won us all over. I spent an evening just staring out at the old and tall pine trees visible from the glass windows in living room.

Great Stay at Tahoe

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented the Honey Bear Cabin (no actual bears showed up, thankfully) for a few days prior to the "America's Most Beautiful Bicycle Ride" around Lake Tahoe on June 5th, 2022. The cabin was perfectly situated along the north shore near shopping, restaurants, beach activities etc. The cabin was in perfect condition, all needed amenities were provided. An ice maker or at least some ice trays would have been appreciated; however, they left us two small bags of ice and we just rationed that and it was enough. The cabin was perfect. No complaints. Oh, maybe a Keurig coffee maker would have been nice. Would definitely rent this cabin again !!

Nice Place

This was a nice place and we enjoyed our stay here. We would have liked it even more if there was cable TV. We also could not find kitchen scissors. Also, there is a long carpet that leads to the patio. The patio door would not open because the carpet blocked the door. We had to pull it away from the door in order to get out. It also bunched up constantly and was a tripping hazard. Other than that, it was a great place - very close to Kings Beach and some other less-crowded beaches that we enjoyed. Speedboat Beach was our favorite! Very small but very beautiful.
