Perfect for families and small groups, our home offers easy access to year-round activities, as well as a private hot tub.

What you’ll love about staying at the A+ A-frame:

• Our location! We are just 3 miles from King’s Beach and only 7 miles from NorthStar. Whether you visit in summer or winter, you will have close access to many activities from the beach and several ski resorts, to hiking, cross-country skiing and sledding just outside of our back door! You will find breathtaking views of the lake just a 3-minute walk up the hill from the house which leads to miles of hiking trails that can take you all the way to the beach. When you’re inside the home you will feel secluded and love the mountain and forest view surrounding you!
• The creature comforts and amenities that our home provides from our high-end private hot tub to our wood-burning fireplace, plush sectional sofa, large flatscreen TVs, and wide array of games and puzzles. For those of you who love to cook, we offer a newly remodeled, fully equipped kitchen with all new stainless-steel appliances. You will also find brand-new memory foam mattresses throughout the home and a private washer and dryer so you can pack light and return home with clean clothes.
• The extra amenities we supply for families! You won’t need to pack the following: Pack-N-Play with changing table component; Rock-N-Play; toddler potty; nightlights; white sound machines; highchair; bouncer chair; infant bathtub; infant playmat; boppy; doorway jumper; baby & toddler spoons/dinnerware/cups; safety gate for the stairs; cabinet safety latches; hiking backpack for babies/toddlers; children’s books, toys, games, DVD’s (along with DirecTV, Netflix, and Prime Video) and air hockey table. We are the ideal home away from home for anyone traveling with babies & toddlers to teenagers.

What you should know before you book at the A+ A-frame:

• Our house boasts a large two-car garage which is easily accessible from the street without a long or steep driveway to traverse; however, that means only two cars can be parked during times of snow. Please plan accordingly if booking with friends. During the summer, driveway and street parking is plentiful. Getting up to the house from the garage can be challenging in the winter so please be aware that you will need appropriate footwear for the snow and potential ice and that this house will best serve able-bodied individuals not intimidated by multiple steps or snowy paths.
• The house is ideally suited for up to 4-6 adults with 2-6 children. Our target renters are families with a mix of adults and kids or 1-3 couples. Large groups of all adults will be more comfortable at a larger house. We can only accommodate a MAXIMUM of 8 adults (anyone over the age of 16) but set our guest limit at 6 adults to minimize noise.

No matter when you come to North Tahoe, you'll be assured a memorable time, with a vacation full of fun outdoor events and beautiful sights. And when you want to rest and relax at the end of your busy, fun-filled days, our comfortable vacation home is a pleasant place to land. Make your reservations today and start planning your Tahoe getaway!

Lovely Home!

What a lovely place! The owners have one of the best stocked kitchens of any home we have ever rented in Tahoe. The hot tub was lovely, and the layout worked great for our 3 friends from Cali and our family of 3 including the teen who took over the loft. Will definitely keep this place on our roster for the future!

Great Family Cabin!

We loved the cabin and the location. Extremely family friendly, with games, books, night lights, sound machines! Unfortunately, due to the fires in Tahoe, we had to cut our trip short and never left the cabin. Derek & Fiona graciously gave us a more than fair partial refund on the days we were unable to stay. We hope to come back another time!

Lovely stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at the A-frame. The house is beautifully decorated, and it was a perfect fit for our group. The kitchen was well-stocked, and the back porch was perfect for grilling. A couple of highlights: 1) the beds are super comfy! Everyone in our group got a good night's sleep. 2) the loft upstairs is perfect for the kiddos. Our son, who is 6, spent a good deal of time up there--either playing with the toys, playing air hockey or playing nintendo. The adults loved the nintendo too! When we had friends visit, their kids (ages 6 & 9) loved the loft as well. The house is just a few minutes from Kings Beach and a 10-15 min. drive to Truckee. It was a perfect location for us. Communication with the owners is quick and efficient. We would definitely stay at this property again! Thanks Derek and Fiona for hosting us--it was a wonderful vacation!

Overall this was a fantastic home to stay in. The location was just perfect for us! The property was as described, and fit our family group so well. The beds were comfortable and everyone got a great nights sleep. The kids loved the game room upstairs. The owners had great descriptions on how to operate everything. We truly enjoyed our stay, and would recommend this home!

This is a beautiful home. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub after a day on the slopes! The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to make meals and enjoy cocktails. We were a group of 5 adults and had plenty of room. Very much appreciated staying in this home for our ski vacation.

Perfect family cabin on the North Shore

Our group of 6 (5 adults, 1 toddler) called the A+ A-frame home for Thanksgiving week and didn't want to return home! Derek provided lots of helpful area info prior to our arrival and check-in was super simple with the keyless entry app. The cabin had everything we needed to cook all our meals at home and lots of space to relax (I never wanted to get off the couch). Huge Safeway just minutes away for all your shopping needs. There's a really breathtaking lake view at the end of the street that we walked to everyday. My toddler LOVED all the books/toys available in the cabin (and I loved not having to bring any of that stuff from home!). Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Picturesque stay!

Our family spent Thanksgiving at the property. We had an amazing time....we received about 6" of snow on Thanksgiving which made our stay even more memorable. The property is close to everything yet far enough to feel like a true mountain getaway. There is an amazing view of the lake just up the street. We had a family of 8 adults and based on some of the information, we were concerned about space. The house was absolutely perfect for our family. We cooked a full Thanksgiving meal and the kitchen had all the essential tools. We only had a couple of concerns... The bathrooms are very, very dated. There are 2 bathrooms - which are hallway bathrooms. The master does not have a bathroom. This may have been outlined in the information.. It did not hinder our stay and would not hinder a return to this property. The other complaint is the overall cleanliness of the house. Some of the kitchen utensils were dirty and the place was quite dusty. Again...the positives outweigh the negatives and I assume the cleanliness issue is not typical of this property based on other reviews. The owners thought of everything to make this a very special getaway.

Perfect Tahoe getaway

Stayed here for 5 nights in July with friends & family. Everyone loved the house! There was ample space for all of us & we never felt cramped. The kitchen is nicely renovated & very well stocked, which worked out well for us as we cooked quite a few meals there. Great for kids- plenty of toys & games, plus an air hockey table (which was a hit!). The outdoor hot tub was an added bonus. The house is in a great location too. Very close to King’s Beach. The house is also in close proximity to Truckee for shopping & restaurants, local supermarket (Safeway) is just a few minutes away, & it’s a short drive to the Nevada casinos. We truly loved our stay here & would choose to stay here again if back in the area.

The cabin is located in the peaceful pines !

This entire experience from booking to departure was an A+ experience! The property owners were highly accommodating to our needs; we were traveling with a large group of 9 for a collegiate baseball experience! The properties amentities were just as described inside and out ! Our boys enjoyed the jacuzzi, game loft, WiFi access , corn hole amongst the pines and very comfortable sleeping accommodations post long days on the field. The adults were grateful for a washer//dryer ( uniform laundering) fully equipt kitchen for meal prep and multitude of televisions in comfortable rooms for retreating. This property is conveniently located near beach, grocery and ballpark! We highly recommend booking this A+AFrame!
