We loved this little cabin! So cozy and enough room for us and our 2 larger dogs. Communication was beyond excellent. Just a quick walk down the hill, and you're right in the middle of town, and a great walking trail along the water. We will definately be back!

The place was great. I liked the aesthetics as well. Yes there was a steep hill but totally manageable and the fact that I could walk the lake every day was amazing. If one happens to be arriving at night be careful of the path to the front door there is a single step which is tricky but a phone flashlight will be fine

Cozy spot that’s walkable to downtown

Cute little bungalow attached to the main rental spot (we did not rent both). Loved that it was walkable to town and close to the ski areas. Definitely a small space, but perfect for 2 people and a small dog!

We really enjoyed our stay! My boyfriend and I came up to Tahoe for the weekend for our dogs birthday. It was the perfect size for us, clean, warm comfy bed, and host left a little something extra to celebrate our dogs bday! It was a very thoughtful touch that we appreciated. Would definitely stay here again!

Cute and Close to Town

This is a cute little place that is walking distance to downtown, the dog park and trails. The neighborhood is full of dogs, all off leash and friendly, luckily my puppy was in heaven. Downside if the unit that shares a wall with the cabin, which is the bedroom is occupied then you can hear the neighbors.

Great use of space for a couple

This is a great place to stay and we enjoyed it very much. It is a small one bedroom with adequate kitchen space, no view and no fireplace. Dogs allowed is a plus for us. The bungalow provided everything we needed except wine glasses. We spent most of our time outdoors, adventures and Tahoe City restaurants. We were able to bring food back home and make breakfast before heading out the next day to play.

This is a charming little cabin with an excellent location. It was very clean. My biggest concern was the very poor mattress. My husband and I felt it was probably the worst mattress we ever slept on. At one point, my husband tried to sleep on the couch, which left us a bit tired for a few days of our vacation. If the owners replaced the bed, it would definitely be one I would consider again, but if not, I can't recommend it.
