Charming Pet Friendly Chalet, Great Location, Walk To The Lake

Come relax at Lake Tahoe in our family’s charming chalet on the beautiful and peaceful West Shore. Our cabin is updated and completely furnished.

Each of the four bedrooms (two upstairs, two downstairs) contain a queen size bed and all linens are provided for your comfort and convenience. Each bedroom also has individually-controlled baseboard heating. The two bathrooms (one upstairs, one downstairs) have been remodeled and updated.

Just bring your food and favorite beverages and enjoy preparing your meals in the modern and fully stocked kitchen. And if you forgot to bring something, the local (and newly remodeled) Tahoma Market is just a short drive or a 10 minute walk. They have great sandwiches too! For coffee drinkers or gelato lovers, check out "Where We Met," a cute little (seasonal) coffee shop just down the street.

During the warm summer days you can relax on the deck while enjoying the serenity of the West Shore, and when it gets chilly outside you can cozy up inside with a roaring fire in the wood burning stove.

A short walk to the beach -- only two blocks away! Provided with your stay is full access to the beach and pier at the Water’s Edge. You can also walk or bike to Sugar Pine Point State Park, or hit the slopes at Homewood Ski Resort less than 3 miles away.

As noted, we are dog friendly, but do charge a flat $100 non-refundable pet fee. If you are bringing you dog(s), when selecting the number of guests, click on the "Yes" button for pets.

Note about our rates:
Our rental rates are all inclusive, meaning El Dorado County Transient Occupancy Tax (14%) and cleaning fee are included in the quoted per night rate. Vrbo does charge a service fee, which is not included in the nightly rate.

We also offer a 15% discount for stays of 7 or more nights.

Cutest cabin in Tahoe!
We had a great stay here! Close to trails, room to grill and hangout outside, and play boardgames inside. Plenty of space for our group to have big dinners and then cuddle on the couch next to the fire. I would definitely recommend this place!!!

Great value
We enjoyed our stay. Several attractions within a short drive, but not a lot in walking distance. House was clean and the bedrooms were spacious. Everything worked properly. Outdoors/yard space is a bit limited. Lots of parking.

Great for families together
We enjoyed staying in this rental during our trip to Lake Tahoe! We visited with four adults, a child, and a dog. Given that this is a pet-friendly property, it was nice to see that it was in good general shape, though the routine cleaning was middle-of-the-road. A lot of the house was dusty and the upstairs bathroom was sandy when we arrived. This wasn't a big problem for us, but it might be for others.

Great Place to Stay in Tahoe
A big storm came in so our vacation was cut a bit short, but really had a fun time at the cabin. Had a classic cabin feels to it, loved the wood fireplace! Short drive to Palisades - park at Alpine Meadows if you're going skiing.

Great Little Cabin
Some friends and I spent the weekend up here in mid November for a little staycation. Place was lovely and everything was so cozy. Communication with the property manager and owner was on point when we ran into an issue. Perfect place to stay if you are looking for a place to stay on the west shore of Tahoe!
