Wonderful stay! This was our second time staying here and we absolutely love it. It has everything we need, and it's an excellent location for both skiing and lake access. The cabin is cozy and well stocked with everything we needed for our family with 3 young boys. The host is responsive and so kind, and we will definitely be back!

Lovely, quiet neighborhood with roomy cabin

Our hosts were very responsive, and our stay was lovely. The L-shaped deck with dining table (and umbrella) is a treat, and the newish bathrooms are wonderful. The location--somewhere between Kings Beach and Tahoe City--is terrific, and Carnelian Bay has its own charms as well.

This was the best stocked house we have ever stayed in. It was easy to prepare meals for our group of 7. Plenty of blankets, towels, and hot water. It was clean. Everything worked. Big enough to spread out but not so big you lost people. Great location. We hope to come back in the summer to enjoy the porch.

July 4th friends trip

Cabin was well suited for a group trip for 4th of July. The location was easy walking to restaurants and the beach. The patio was spacious. Only downside was we had planned to BBQ over the four days and learned a few days before arrival that it was not allowed for renters.
