About this property

The Abbe Cabin features old Tahoe charm in three separate units––Lakeside, Lookout and Roadhouse. Our lakefront compound gives privacy for families or groups of friends and everyone comes together for a Lakeside meal, drinks on the big deck, or games by fireside.

One queen bed in each unit, plus a bunk bed room and two daybeds in living room. Sleeps 8 comfortably, with flexible options for 2 more—maximum of 10 guests. A well-behaved dog or two welcome.

Plowed, level driveway to a 2-car garage gives easy winter access from the main road around the lake; large sloping lot insures quiet in the units.

We do not allow parties, weddings, funerals, or commercial activities at the property. Next year's summer calendar will open the first of December.

See our Abbe Cabin website for additional details.

Great Family Gathering Location

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely Lake Tahoe home. The location right on the lake was unbeatable, and the deck provided beautiful views, especially with the wonderful weather we had. The living room had a warm, homey cabin vibe that made it a cozy place to gather and relax. One thing to note is that the twin beds are more suitable for children than adults, and the layout requires walking through one sleeping area to reach another. This setup might not work for all groups, but we had a great time and appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and stunning lakefront location!

INCREDIBLE HOME

I’ve been coming to Tahoe in the summer for 20 years. This is the best experience so far. My wife, baby son and toddler enjoyed our birthdays, and then some family came with their dog; it was magical. The location is the best on the lake. The home is perfect for everyone who stayed. The deck is SO good. The hosts are amazing. HIGHLY recommended. Coming back here every year.

Location, Location, Location!

What an amazing property with a location that can not be beat! The 3 residences were perfect for our group - allowed for privacy when needed and a great spot to get together to cook and hang out. The bedrooms in the lookout and Abbe cabin are cozy but comfortable. Our teen kids couldn't get enough of the hot tub and we couldn't get enough of the view. The hosts were quick to respond to our questions and were very helpful. Highly recommended! You will not be disappointed.

Family Vacation

Amazing cabin right on the lake!! The Separate cabins was nice because it gave different family members their own space along with their own toilets and showers. The main cabin was perfect with kitchen and family room large enough for our family of 8. The deck overlooks the lake and only feet away from the lake itself. The deck has a hot tub, gas BBQ, and plenty of seating for a large family. We highly recommend this place!

Lovely winter stay on the lake!

The Abbe cabin(s) were exactly what we were looking for in a Tahoe vacation. Charming, warm, and full of character. We had a great trip! The hosts were excellent at communicating as well. All necessary details were shared in advance about conditions resulting from heavy snowfall in the area.

The Abbe Houses

We had a wonderful stay. The three houses gave privacy for each family and a place for coming together. The location, just in front of the lake is unbeatable. The kitchen is complete with all the tools you need for cooking and the beds are confortable. What else do you need?

Tahoe Birthday

This property is amazing! A unique layout that accommodated 5 couples and two dogs easily, we all had a great time. Access to the water is super easy and the views for those who stay in the hot tub on the deck are stellar. Communication with the property owners was incredibly timely and pleasant. Check in and checkout instructions were clear and simple. All in all a great stay.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica

We are four sisters who love family time at the cabin. Our own children have grown up here, and the grandkids are now loving it.

Why they chose this property

Our great-grandparents camped near Tahoe City in the early 1900s. Our grandparents continued the tradition, camping at Bliss State Park each summer. Our parents purchased this lakeside retreat in 1974, continuing a happy tradition of summer on the shores of Lake Tahoe.

What makes this property unique

Comfortable, charming and convenient, with beautiful views of crystal-blue water and snow-kissed mountains. The private rocky beach and lake shore provide a welcome retreat from civilization. A lakeside public path, which meanders north along the shore, delivers you to Carnelian Bay and its 3 restaurants, store, post office, dog-friendly beaches and public pier.
