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.

Good space. Wonderful deck and lake view. Kitchen was somewhat disorganized. And coffee maker was far too small for 6 adults. Coded door lock stopped working mid-stay. Loose railings could become a safety issue for the infirm.

Great house and amazing location

The house provided a base for a fantastic family vacation at the lake. The views were amazing and the house had all the essentials we needed, plus we loved its quirky character. The highlight was definitely the dock and access to the water. Will definitely visit again!

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.

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!

Gorgeous Views

I have never stayed at a place with more beautiful views. We are an active family on a ski trip but found the best part of the trip was staring out the windows. The hot tub was amazing too.

Pure Bliss

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.

Our family has been visiting Lake Tahoe during summer for over 45 years, and this cabin received a unanimous vote as the best cabin thus far! David is amazing. The house and views are spectacular. We were honored to share your little slice of heaven!

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.

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.
