We really loved our stay and highly recommend if you like old school charming lakefront homes! The number of bedrooms and bathrooms worked very well for our group. We loved hanging out on the fabulous deck with great views of the lake. The jacuzzi is a great bonus as well as the steps down to the small deck on the water. Even though it's older, it's well loved and you can just tell there have been a lot of family memories made here.Very well equipped kitchen and newer appliances.The lake was very high so access to the water is difficult when the lake is this full - this was the only challenge.Would stay again in a heart beat! Thank you for sharing your home!

Perfect place!
We loved this house so much last year that we booked it again! The house was spacious and comfortable for our family to both be together and have our own space. Direct lake access is priceless! Sitting on the patio watching the sunrise or hopping in the lake for an early morning paddle made the trip feel 100% like vacation. Host was responsive to pre-trip messaging and helpful.

Tahoe family vacation
Rustic cabin on the lake as described.Plenty of room inside and large deck.Multiple steps to water and steep. Small deck at the bottom on the water with a paddle board.Very relaxing place.Close to town.Spent time hiking and exploring the beautiful beaches on the Nevada side of the lake.Would highly recommend this place but it’s not fancy.Had difficulty contacting host but we have not used VRBO before so could have been us.

Rustic but nice!
We had a family of 4 plus a bonus family member. There were plenty of pots, pans, dishes, utensils. The dishwasher and fridge were new and worked very well. The host also provides some games ranging from apples to apples jr edition and sorry all the way to cards for humanity and the OG Trivial Pursuit. You can’t get bored here!The view is breathtaking and we spent hours just sitting on the back porch and decompressing. Please do note that if you’re not able bodied you would find this property challenging. There are a dozen or so wooden steps to get from the parking to the home. There are also more than 60 stairs to get to the water. Very much worth it if you’re capable! It was so serene on the landing on the water!We really enjoyed our stay! The property is exactly as it’s depicted! We hope to stay again on a future trip!

Outdated but great location.
This cabin is in a gorgeous location, but the price is high for what you get. The cabin itself is very dated, the hot tub lid has degraded to the point of falling apart and has trouble maintaining heat. I chose this spot over others because of the hot tub. There is a two foot long piece or sharp rebar that is exposed out of the concrete at the top of the stairs leading down to the cabin. This is very dangerous and a liability waiting to happen.

Absolutely perfect way to experience Tahoe
Such a great find ON the lake! So much that we just booked it again. It felt like home in so many ways and just wonderful to have the deck with lake view for morning coffee and quick walk down the steps to hang out on the lake after daily activities. The place had all the essentials and the host communicated well when we had a hiccup. Additional instructions about trash process for people not familiar with the area would help, as well as advanced reminder about operating the bear wires. We figured it out though :)

what a gem of a property - loaded with rustic charms - not filled with new store bought decor but age-old heirlooms - so many cool different unique lamps - can do different soft lighting arrangements for early morn , when you’re cooking dinner and post-dinner sipping sessions - and each room its own feel - you cannot express the beauty of the views of the lake, trees and surrounding mountains - have to be there to sit with it - radiant sunrises with morning mists engulfing the lake - then multi-layered pastel sunsets pinks blues purples that yield quickly to exquisite starry darkness - entire stay was super quiet we did not hear a peep anywhere besides rustling winds - we enjoyed so much we would like to make a family tradition - 3 different subsets of family with their own kids , all fit comfortably with own spaces - the basement was my favorite space , cool walk-up concrete and green tile shower , with a door that opens to jacuzzi , and the first line of bear defense (j.k.) like i said we didn’t hear a peep

What can be more lovely than a ‘home away from home’ on the lake? I was luckily enough to witness the October Supermoon from the deck, the whole lake was glittering in the moon light. Such a beautiful hidden gem.

Great rustic cabin on the water
House was exactly as advertised and definitely fit our needs. Hot tub was great after a long day of hiking or after a cold dip in the lake. Plenty of room. Son Loved the basement bedroom that had a walkout right to the hot tub. Master shower had door but a low flow shower head so we mostly used the tub shower even though no shower curtain. Lots of condiments coffee were already there, just no toilet paper anywhere so make sure to bring a roll before you get chance to shop.

PANORAMIC VIEW
Beautiful view from almost everywhere in the home-kitchen, eating area, dining room and 3 bedrooms. A stunning, beutiful view!!
The quirky things: for some reason, no shower cutains in 2 of 3 showers, meaning wiping the floor up after each shower. No window screens, so hard to cool off the house on a sunny day without inviting all the bugs. Construction directly in front of the home the week we were there was a bummer, loud and smelly. Beds were ok, kitchen had lots of dishes.
Rent this place for the view!

Rustic Gem in Tahoe
This place is rustic but we love it! The property is so cool, chill and low key.
The view from the deck, the dock and just the peacefulness of the area was amazing.
Great location, close to town and dollar point hiking trail were we saw a mama bear and cub on our hike!
Paddle boarding right off the dock and then having a hot tub with this Amazing view was heaven.
The house was very unique and lots of character. Again it’s Rustic so don’t expect the Ritz. It’s about the company your with and the beauty of Tahoe
Thanks again for sharing your place with us

Feels like home
I love this place. I grew up camping in South Tahoe/ Fallen Leaf Lake and my family has been visiting Tahoe since the 1920s. There is something special about this place that makes it both awe-inspiring and relaxed. Being able to stay at this house is such a joy — I hope everyone who visits will treasure it and treat it with care. It is a true Tahoe family lake house.
