Alpine Meadows Cabin in the Woods

There's nothing more refreshing and quintessential Tahoe than a cozy getaway in an A-frame cabin. Whether you're traveling in summer or winter, this four bedrooms and two and a half bathroom that sleeps eight is a rare find and meets the mark on all things alpine.

Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, backed up to Bear Creek, this secluded three-level A-frame offers an open floor plan for the living, dining, and kitchen area. Start your morning on the sprawling deck, gazing out at forest service land will provide you with a tranquil place to start your day. If you are looking to get out and explore, you are a short walk from the Five Lakes trailhead and just one mile from Alpine Meadows Ski Resort. In the evenings fire up the woodstove, and enjoy gathering in the first-floor great room. The tranquility, charm, and unique style certainly make for a great Tahoe getaway location.

The expansive floor to ceiling windows, its long farm-style dining table, wood stove, spiral iron staircase, and vintage craftsmanship evoke the feel of a Tyrolean lodge. What it lacks in a dishwasher, it certainly makes up for in tranquility and charm. Before you book Alpine Meadows Cabin in the Woods, be sure to pack your slippers. We're plenty stocked with firewood and coffee cups.

The mountaineer shuttle will pick you up at this location and drop you off at Alpine Meadows during ski season.
