Knotty Pine- Updated Tahoe Cabin, Private Hot Tub, Wood Fireplace, Pet Friendly

Looking for a vacation rental that feels as tranquil and carefree as your warmest Tahoe memories? Look no further! This charming pet-friendly 3 bedroom cabin has been tastefully updated while still holding true to what we all love about the simpler times of historic Tahoe. Abundant hiking and biking trails right out the back of this quaint and desirable neighborhood proves this home's unique value; offering visitors both the solace of mountain tranquility as well as an opportunity for some serious adventuring... And that's what Tahoe is all about!

Dripping in classic wood touches, the home's entry level features stainless appliances, a large farmhouse table, studio-like lighting, and comfortable seating options. We think you'll find that the reclining leather sofas with built in cup holders are the perfect spot to kick off your hiking boots each evening. While some enjoy the nostalgia of a crackling wood fire or a movie night on the adjacent TV, others can indulge in a soak the hot tub on the home's rear deck.

The Master Suite with attached private bathroom on the west wing of the house is a recent addition that boasts geometrically faceted ceilings, a King bed, and flat screen TV, and it's own private balcony. With a second more modest bedroom below the common space, and yet another in the upstairs east wing of the home, the family can spread out as desired.

In the summertime, the deck is adorned with plentiful seating for your outdoor enjoyment. Surrounded by Pines, you may even be able to sneak a peak at a sliver of Lake Tahoe through the thick evergreen foliage!

Disappointing
The house has great curb appeal and the entire neighborhood looks great. Inside the house is disappointing and there were many issues. The master bedroom is an addition and is very nice except the shower facet handle was stripped and the shower nonfunctional. The main level Livingroom is ok but average. The kitchen is tight and built-in microwave is broken. A tabletop model was provided. This level also included another bathroom with a very tight 2'x2' shower. The loft area was up a very narrow flight of stairs and the ceiling was uncomfortably low. The downstairs bedroom had a musty smell and what appeared to be a sump pump in the middle of the floor. Out back was a well made and sturdy deck with a hot tub. Unfortunately the hot tub cover was waterlogged and too heavy to open making it unusable. The deck included a small but clean and well functioning BBQ. The view from the deck was very nice. In summary I was not comfortable in this house and wont rent it again.

Needs attention....
Pictures are deceiving, The house needed an overall "deep clean". The main reason we chose this property was because of the large deck. We spend every evening on the deck. The cushions and pillows on the chairs were very dirty. Before we could sit on them, we had to remove the cushion covers and wash them! We also had to sweep the entire deck and scrub the patio table and bar table before we could put food on them. The living rug had a huge stain. We found a dirty sock between the sofa cushions. The microwave buttons were so crusty with dirt, we had to scrape them clean. The windows in the loft were broken. We were told to find something to "prop them up" so we could get some air flow! One of the blinds was broken too so you couldn't raise it, therefore blocking any possible airflow we might have. We were aware that there was only one towel, one washcloth and one hand towel provided per person (per contract). To save water and electricity and so the traveler didn't have to spend their vacation doing laundry, it would be nice to have a few more linens. We ended up doing laundry every night. This property has so much potential, but it obviously needs some attention....not just a surface clean. We spent $$'s in cleaning materials just to get the property so we could enjoy it.

All about that deck!
This place is spacious, super clean, and in a great location. The biggest highlight is the large beautiful deck with private hot tub surrounded by pines. Maybe it was being there in shoulder season, but it would really have been nice to have some more seating on the deck to accommodate a group for meals or sundowners. The furniture was sparse for such a large deck. The master bedroom was large and the bed very comfortable. I would note that each of the 3 bedrooms is either up or down a flight of stairs from the main level — in case stairs are a problem for anyone in your group. But the 3 staircases also made each bedroom very private. Overall a wonderful stay and I would book again!

Boondoggle!!!
I came out with some colleagues and had a blast. The cabin was easy to access, had plenty of room for our group and beds for everybody. It was a pretty easy drive to Palisades and down to the grocery store so the location worked well.

Perfect Location
This is a beautiful home. The only downfall is all three bedrooms are only accessable by stairs. There are none on the main floor. There are 3 staircases in this home. One is down to a basement level bedroom which remains quite cool which I loved. This was not a fancy room but was quite comfortable. The one with the two beds and cute window seat is up a very steep flight of stairs. The third master suite is up the third flight and located above the garage. Just be careful if you have people joining your group with difficulty using stairs. This is a beautiful property with everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay!
