We loved everything about this cabin- it was quaintly nestled on a wooded quiet road with some views of the lake if you look through the trees. The layout of the space worked for our family and we appreciated the natural fabric linens on the beds. We also appreciated the unique and authentic decor of the cabin representing a diverse number of indigenous cultures.
We had a little reunion of old friends and Rockwood cabin was perfect. The house was clean, filled with interesting artwork and comfortable seating. We spent most of our time on the deck enjoying the beautiful weather. The neighborhood is fairly quiet and its not a far walk to the lake. The beds were comfy too! All in all a great pick. We intend to come back next summer for sure!
Fun location in a neighborhood with nice homes among the tall pine trees.
Good pet friendly home plenty of space.
A lot if interesting history photos and plenty of bear figures through out the home. Kitchen has everything you need. The home is older so you will see plenty of interior wood walls. I did observe some items that should be replaced and I notified the rental company.i will come back here again but hope they take care problems soon.

Reviewer Comments:
Rockwood is a charming and classic Tahoe cabin that's managed to keep up fairly well with modern times. Great location, circular driveway a plus, and wonderful outdoor deck. Our only suggestion is to update the slightly rickety wooden deck furniture to something that's easier on the spine - it's not comfortable for long sits - some outdoor wicker with a little give would be ideal. We hope that happens before our return visit, as we would definitely choose Rockwood again!

We stayed at the Rockwood House in Cedar Flat. We have rented this house for one week every summer. Each year we notice some upgrade from the previous summer. The owners take care of their house. We did have a pipe burst under the house that was associated with the irrigation system. Hauserman Rentals responded immediately and took care of the issue.
What a cute and comfortable home! Very warm and welcoming and old timey. Kitchen well stocked with any essentials, furniture older, but very comfortable, beds were great and decor was heirloom mountain cabin. Rooms are small, but felt cozy rather than cramped. Snow outside was up to the 2nd story...made for dramatic views as well as a feeling of warm coziness inside. You can see the lake a bit through the trees - it was beautiful. Excellent communication with rental company. Plenty of house information available for TV, internet etc. We will happily return. Thank you for a terrific rental.

This was my second time staying at Rockwood. Believe it or not, my grandparents built this cabin! It’s a special place to me, for obvious reasons. All that said, the place was tidy upon arrival and my week there couldn’t have been better. I met a very nice neighbor and shared some old photos of the place and stories, a bottle of wine on the deck. The HOA pier is a peaceful place to lay out and get some sun. Internet is strong. Kitchen is well stocked with gadgets and cookware. Water pressure is great. An AppleTV or streaming device of that nature could be a nice addition in the future. Including basic toiletries (bath soap, shampoo, conditioner) would also be great.

We stayed here for July 4th weekend and it is a perfectly located cabin. You are far enough from the crowds, yet can pop into town easily and on a whim! We went to Alpine, hiked around secret cove, and walked around Kings Beach. Clean, tidy, communicative host.

This place was terrific, as was the team from Hauserman. It is up a quiet, long, skinny road from the lake... but still incredibly close. It was SUPER cute inside, with an awesome kitchen, plenty of room for a medium-sized group, it's dog friendly (THANK YOU FROM BOMBAY) and a crackling fireplace. We stayed for four days, and my wife (who is EXTREMELY picky) said "This is one of the best places we've ever rented."Be aware that the driveway is both long and steep, but that's where Hauserman stepped in -- and brought sand to us in a jiffy... and up we went. GREAT PLACE.

The moment we arrived I knew we had found a gem. My husband and I have been to Tahoe several times at different times of the year. This time we came for 12 days. Our arrival to Tahoe was delayed due to a blizzard. But when we arrived at the house the driveway had been plowed and stairs to house shoveled. It snowed several times during our stay. We never had trouble getting out of the neighborhood- we had studded snow tires and awd. Otherwise, no way to navigate the roads in the neighborhood. House is quaint. Feels like “real Tahoe”. Beds are super comfortable. Kitchen had anything I needed. Washer and dryer are small. Best part of the experience was working with Hauserman. From start to finish they were the best. We’ve rented all over the world—Hauserman is by far the top of the list. We will be back, hopefully for many years.

Beautiful settings up on the hill within the trees. The deck was great to sit on during the afternoon and early evening. The inside had plenty of room for 5 of us, yet many of the features needed some work. The lighting was poor. The dishes in the kitchen were unkept-several plates had mold growing on them. The upstairs master bedroom should have it's separate door.
We had a great experience renting. This property was clean and cozy. The location is right off the main road, making it super easy to get to Tahoe City and Kings Beach.
We meet annually somewhere in North Shore for Sweet 16 weekend and this rustic cabin fit our needs perfectly. It was cozy, warm and had all the essentials for the perfect weekend (except for the pillows). Ideal for family gatherings. A long table for games, a TV with all the cable stations, restful couches and beds upstairs where you can grab a few moments of quietude. A front deck to relax on and view the lake.May return next year. Someplace. Same time.

This Tahoe cabin is exactly what we hoped for. Lots of charm and comfort without the feel of an over-done Tahoe "theme" rental. The house is comfortable and the site is generous and private. We had a delightfully long & quiet weekend. The management company, Hauserman Rental Group, is supremely professional and helpful. Can't wait to return.
