Charming West Shore Chalet, Great Location, Close to the Lake, Hiking and Biking

Come relax at Lake Tahoe in our family’s charming chalet on the beautiful and peaceful West Shore. Our cabin is updated and completely furnished.

Each of the four bedrooms (two upstairs, two downstairs) contain a queen size bed and all linens are provided for your comfort and convenience. Each bedroom also has individually-controlled baseboard heating. The two bathrooms (one upstairs, one downstairs) have been remodeled and updated.

Just bring your food and favorite beverages and enjoy preparing your meals in the modern and fully stocked kitchen. And if you forget to bring something, the local (and newly remodeled) Tahoma Market is just a short drive or a 10 minute walk. They have great sandwiches too! For coffee drinkers or gelato lovers, check out "Where We Met," a cute little (seasonal) coffee shop just down the street.

During the warm summer days you can relax on the deck and fire up the grill while enjoying the serenity of the West Shore, and when it gets chilly outside you can cozy up inside with a roaring fire in the wood burning stove.

A short walk to the beach -- only two blocks away! Provided with your stay is full access to the beach and pier at the Water’s Edge. Also, you can walk or bike to Sugar Pine Point State Park, or hit the slopes at Homewood Mountain Resort less than 3 miles away.

When the weather permits, you can enjoy spending time at Marie Sluchak Community Park—a charming, small-scale community space, located just down the street at the "Y" where Pine St. meets Wilson Ave. It has a newly updated playground for kids, an amphitheater with stage and seating used for summer live music and movies, and a picnic and BBQ area.

Note about our rates:
Our nightly rate includes my cleaning fee. However, Vrbo does charge an additional 14% Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), which is paid to the county, and a guest service fee. I have no control over these two fees and they are not included in the quoted nightly rate.

We also offer a 15% discount for stays of 7 or more nights.

VHR Permit Number: 073103

The location of this cabin is amazing. I stayed here over Thanksgiving with my wife, our small dog, and two of my cousins. It was the perfect size to cook and host Thanksgiving dinner. Another perk is that the cabin is walking distance to markets, the lake, and beautiful hiking paths nearby. We will definitely stay here again!

Absolutely loved our stay in Tahoe! This is not a generic hotel, it’s a real family home with so much warmth and character. The cabin is in great condition, cozy, and incredibly comfortable. We had everything we needed for family dinners, which made the stay feel extra special. The décor is beautiful and thoughtful, the Lake Tahoe and national park posters are stunning, and the embroidered artwork in our bedroom was such a charming, sweet detail. We’ll be remembering this winter vacation with a big smile. Thank you for an amazing stay we’d love to come back!

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this cabin. The owner Gary is quick to respond to questions. The cabin is very clean and well stocked with everything you could need for a great stay. As someone with mobility issues having bedrooms on the ground floor is a must, this cabin has 2 to choose from downstairs. Looking forward to staying there again.
