Charming Cottage on Forested Lot With Community Firepit; Near Ski Resort

A charming modern cabin in the heart of the West Shore, Owl Cottage sits on a quiet, forested lot, surrounded by cedar trees. Ideal for groups, the 4-bedroom private lodge is the host home of Cedar Crest Cottages, a historic vacation retreat located steps from the beach and a one-minute drive from Homewood Mountain Resort.

*Please be advised that this home does not have air conditioning.

A cozy foyer with stone floors and charming wooden bench greets guests as they enter, offering a welcoming place to discard ski boots or beach gear.

Designed for conversation, board games or reminiscing after a day on the lake or mountain, the living room features two full-length leather sofas and matching armchairs that frame an impressive stone fireplace. A flat-screen TV adds entertainment when you want to unwind. Hardwood floors, high ceilings and built-in bookshelves create the feeling of a European alpine lodge.

The fully equipped kitchen, well-appointed for the family chef, features cutting-board countertops and every appliance needed to craft home-cooked dinners. A 4-seat dining table overlooks the woods outside, while a large, furnished deck just off the living area adds a table for dining al fresco.
*Please note, the BBQ grill on the deck is unavailable for guest use per the local fire department. The community BBQ is available for you to enjoy,

Between four spacious bedrooms located on the 2nd level of the home, Owl Cottage comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests:

Primary Bedroom - Upper Level
King Bed
This light-filled room, styled with modern lodge decor, features plush bedding, hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings and a private entrance to the deck, allowing natural light to stream in. The en-suite bath has a deep soaking tub and separate shower.

Guest Primary - Upper Level
Queen Bed
The second main-level bedroom has a private deck, vaulted ceilings, and a full dresser. Like the primary, this room is full of natural light.

Bedroom 3 - Upper Level
King Bed
Tastefully styled with cedar accent furniture, this room features hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, twin nightstands and picture windows.

Bedroom 4 - Upper Level
King Bed (or two Twins upon request)
This bedroom offers a king-sized bed which can be converted to two twins upon request). Large picture windows offer forest views.

Guests outside the primary bedroom share a full bathroom with a tub shower and a separate powder room for convenience. Owl Cottage also has a washer and dryer to keep ski clothes toasty and beach towels dry for the next day’s adventures.

As a guest of Cedar Crest Cottages, you’ll enjoy access to the community BBQ grill and oversized fire pit with filtered lake and mountain views. In the summer, stroll to the beach across the street for swimming, sailing and boating on the lake, or hike through the surrounding mountains. In the winter, drive less than two minutes to the family-friendly Homewood Mountain Resort, or just 25 minutes to the varied terrain of Olympic Valley. The restaurants, shops and entertainment of Tahoe City is just 10 minutes away.

Whether you’re planning a small family vacation or a larger group getaway, with cozy conversation spaces, flexible accommodations and a prime location to explore Lake Tahoe, Owl Cottage is an ideal setting for reconnecting and rejuvenating.

Please be advised that the firepit is seasonal and is not operational during the winter months due to the heavy snowfall.
