Dancing Cubs Camp - Updated, Dog Friendly, Hot Tub

The Dancing Cubs Camp, a 2-bedroom/2-bath cabin in Timberland, south of Tahoe City, offers a perfect blend of Tahoe's rustic charm and modern comforts. The recent remodel has preserved the cabin's character while adding contemporary amenities.

Its strategic location, approximately 2.5 miles from Tahoe City and a mile from Sunnyside Restaurant and Firesign Cafe, provides guests with both tranquility and easy access to dining options. Additionally, the cabin's proximity to Homewood ski area, Alpine Meadows, and Palisades makes it an excellent choice for winter enthusiasts.

For winter visitors, the flat access to the property, remodeled features, and the new hot tub offer a cozy aprés ski experience. Meanwhile, summer guests can take advantage of the nearby bike path connecting Tahoe City and Tahoma, as well as the spacious patio area with comfortable furniture, a propane BBQ, and a hammock. The convenience of walking to Dog Beach, one of Lake Tahoe's few dog-friendly beaches, is a notable highlight.

Furthermore, the detached garage's conversion into additional living space with a refrigerator, ping pong table, and seating adds to the overall appeal of the Dancing Cubs Camp, making it suitable for various activities and group gatherings.

All vacation rental properties are fully equipped with free high speed wireless internet, linens, bath towels (equal to the maximum occupancy of the house), pots/pans, dishes, microwave, coffee pot, blender, toaster, TV/TV's with streaming services, washer & dryer and barbecue (many are only usable in the summer).

A beautiful relaxing home I really enjoyed the peace and quiet, and just looking at all the pine trees with the sunlight filtering through. It was everything I could’ve asked for a stress free vacation.

Rowell family

Really comfortable stay with some many wonderful details. Great quite neighbor hood that was a short 5 minute walk to the lake. Need to sharpen kitchen knives and maybe provide a small electric blower to clean the back patio every once in a while. Loved the house and would look forward to returning soon.

Resplendent getaway cabin

We had the most wonderful time at dancing cubs. It was beautiful, cozy, and just a short walk from the most amazing views. It was well stocked with cooking supplies, utensils, and anything you could need. My partner has been jaded by rental properties that do the bare minimum to rent but said “this property has restored my faith in rental properties”. It felt like we were renting a well loved cabin and that the rental wanted to display that love. 10/10 would stay again. Also recommend the Tahoe house sandwiches just up the road!

Slightly disappointed

The cabin was quite nice; however, I was disappointed that the pictures of the patio/yard were not as there appeared. We had our pups with us and were looking forward to enjoying grilling for a alfresco dinner while the pups played in the yard. Unfortunately, there was no fence and the grill land all patio furniture were stored away. Making it impossible for two older women to drag out and enjoy. Not to mention that the pups could not enjoy any free time in the yard while we were suppose to be enjoying grilling and eating on the paito.
