About this property

Family-friendly carnelian charm

Newly renovated modern kitchen with new cabinets, plus dishwasher and garbage disposal. Luxury vinyl floor throughout. (The three bedrooms are carpeted.) Large Smart TV, (with DVD/VCR) and Charter TV & Internet. Self check-in.

This charming home sleeps six to eight people comfortably (PLEASE NOTE: 6 ADULTS MAXIMUM) in three bedrooms, plus a loft (for children ages 6-10), and has all the amenities provided for a memorable vacation. Pillows, blankets and comforters are provided. NEED TO BRING YOUR OWN SHEETS & TOWELS. (Plus hand towels/kitchen towels, if needed.)

In addition to central heating, there is the added charm of a free-standing, wood-burning fireplace. The large deck provides a beautiful private setting for dining or sunning. There is a lovely filtered view, through the many tall pine trees, of the lake with the mountain background beyond. (Not looking out on other homes.)

Very private setting on a large corner lot, with sizeable play area and horseshoe pit. The long driveway is large enough for two cars and a boat/trailer.

Great accommodations, beware of ice
This was a perfect house for a weekend getaway with my partner. The house is up a hill that was not completely plowed and we did have considerable trouble without four wheel drive.

Great find in Tahoe
Overall very happy with our stay. Just a few minor quirks... no linens and no washing facilities (but that's clearly stated upfront); no A/C (fortunately it's usually not needed since we're usually out and about); The ladder to the loft is painful to step on since the steps on the ladder aren't flat but circular. The kids decided not to sleep there anyway because they were afraid of the spiders on the ceiling. There's also a lamp up there, but I couldn't locate any socket to plug it in. That said, these are minor things. Check-in was a breeze, and the owners were very communicative. Kitchen was adequately stocked with dishware and spices. Neighborhood was peaceful, with lots of trees, and well-located for all the North Lake Tahoe activities. It's the first time we've stayed on the North side of the lake, and there's a lot to do nearby. Four days was not enough. For the price, I would definitely stay here again.

Outstanding
Extremely comfortable and relaxing cabin in a beautiful, quiet and safe neighborhood. The owners very attentive. One of the few times on a trip that I truly did not want to leave. Morning coffee on the back deck was a highlight for me each day. I was torn to stay at the cabin and relax vs. tour the beautiful town of Tahoe. We will be back!! Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Phillips for sharing your wonderful cabin
