About this property

Charming 1930's cottage on the lake side of Highway 89 in Sunnyside, Lake Tahoe

This darling cabin is perfectly situated in Sunnyside and is just few minutes walk to the private beach, with lake views from our front lawn. Features include a cozy living room with pass-through access to the kitchen. The living and dining room is adorned with a stone gas fireplace, knotty pine walls, carved beams, beautiful wood floors, and rustic pine railings. The darling kitchen is complete with a 1930's original Wedgewood stove.

The master bedroom, with dormer window knotty pine paneling, features a walk-in closet, and a queen sized bed. The second upstairs bedroom includes two double beds, perfect for 2 adults or 4 children. On the first floor, there is a third bedroom with another queen sized bed, which can sleep 1-2 additional guests. (There is also a "flip-flop mattress" in the upstairs closet to accommodate one additional child/teen on the floor, if needed. We also have a "Pak and Play" for tiny ones). In sum, you can easily sleep 6 adults, and a couple more littles if needed.

Drink your morning coffee on the charming front deck, overlooking the beautiful grassy front lawn, and watch the world go by. The backyard is fully enclosed with picnic table seating, a barbecue and a relaxing hammock under the trees.

Your Tahoe retreat is complete with 4 bicycles and helmets (we are right along the bike path!) as well as two kayaks with double-ended paddles-- Note: use both bikes and/or kayaks at your own risk. Most importantly, cottage rental includes key access to Tahoe Park private beach and recreation facilities, such as: beach volleyball, kids playground, horseshoes, basketball hoop, picnic tables and lakeside barbecues. .

For winter guests we are just a few minutes drive to Homewood, Alpine Meadows and Granlibakken Ski and Sled Hill.

**** Responsible pet owners -and potty trained cats and dogs- are allowed. An extra deposit and fee will apply. ****

Sunnyside is the perfect location for all occasions. Walk to Sunnyside Resort, with its live music and sunset dinners. Dinner at Spoon Restaurant is walking distance and never disappoints! Also walking distance is the awesome Westshore Market and the best breakfasts and lunches at nearby Firesign Café.
There is also nearby boat and Seadoo rentals. Easy bike ride to Tahoe City and Truckee river. Short drive to Emerald Bay. We have a binder at the cabin with even more great recommendations!

Perfect Retreat
This cottage is an absolute gem in the perfect location. It had everything we needed for a lovely stay - super cozy beds, well stocked kitchen, with a great lighted backyard, kayak, and a paddle board. The location was unparalleled - just a lovely short walk to an exquisite private park with 2 docks, a swimming platform, volleyball courts, basketball hoop, and BBQs.the owners were incredibly responsive and just lovely. Can’t wait to go back! Thank you for a memorable weekend!

Best location and lovely house!
You cannot beat this location. A short walk to get to the private beach without having to cross any main roads. The house was very quaint and well equipped. For a family of 3 with a toddler and dogs, we had plenty of space and really enjoyed taking advantage of the distance to the beach/playground, and bike trails. The owners were so great and quick to respond with any questions we had. Will definitely be back!

Perfect Summer Getaway
We had an amazing time at this cozy cabin and were ecstatic with how close we were to the water!! The private beach access was gorgeous! The cabin itself had everything we needed, was very well stocked with all the staples, comfortable, and the backyard was perfect for my kids and the dog to play in. We even had some family over one night and bbq’d and played cornhole. We can’t wait to go back!!

Small but charming cabin, location can’t be beat
We enjoyed our stay at Pascha’s cabin. It is a small but very charming and well appointed cabin that cozily fit four adults, a toddler and a dog for our weekend in Tahoe, though could've accommodated another couple with the bedroom downstairs. The spacious backyard and access to the wonderful, private beachside HOA a five minute walk away made the stay. Pascha sent detailed instructions and recommendations and was very responsive and accommodating to our changing plans, letting us use their kayak and SUP (stored down at the HOA) and answering questions. The garage has everything you’d need for a fun day at the lake (chairs, an umbrella, a wagon, beach games, towels). Great location just off highway 89 and a bike route, an easy walk to West Shore Market and Sunnyside, quick drive to Tahoe House bakery. Highly recommend.

Cute, cozy cottage with private beach access
This was the perfect little cozy cottage for our stay - with a backyard perfect for our dogs. Its walking distance from private beach access, restaurant and cafe. The hosts provided us with 4 bicycles which we enjoyed on our bike trails around the place. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of more commercialized Tahoe locations.

Great cabin, responsive owners
This is a great old school cabin that is well kept. The owners were very responsive and we appreciated the professional and kind communication. Everything is laid out well in their homeowner binder in a way that is informative but not overbearing. The owners clearly love their place and have put a. lot of effort into making sure you love it as well!

We loved the cottage and the proximity to Deli Market, Fire Sign Cafe and the Spoons restaurant.
Cottage is clean, comfortable and welcoming. Has everything you need for either a snow trip (we skied at a nearby wonderful Homewood and went sledding at Gralinbaken , which is super close) or water sports (lots of water gear!). Appreciated the detailed binder, had no problem using a gas stove, a fireplace and an electric fence :) Thank you so much, hosts! Would love to come back!

Super Cozy/Fun Weekend
The location of this cabin is great. We had a fantastic time. The bear system is definitely a good idea. We saw a massive black bear on our first morning in front of the house. Additionally, everything we could need for cooking was at the house; everything was well cared for and very clean. Thank you so much, we had a great time.

Beautiful Cabin in a perfect location
We just adored this lovely cabin! The location and access to the private beach was such a treat. It’s an easy and pretty walk down to the shore and you can reserve tables if you choose. The kids loved the playground and beach. We enjoyed using their kayak as well and so nice to have easy access to the shore. The cabin was perfect and decorated nicely. Although it is cozy, it really had everything we needed and nothing extra to cramp the space. We enjoyed hanging in the front yard and dinners in the backyard under the party lights. Beds were very comfortable with nice sheets. Also the access to all the recreational items in the garage was a bonus as well. Just a perfect place all around. We can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic time/ ideal and better than expected. My only semi comment is it isnt quite clear how close you are to the major road and its a teency bit farther than we thought to the lake. But this is an incredibly minor critique. Its still great and amazing

Small but mighty
This is a tiny cabin (weather was good so we used the backyard/picnic table as an extension of the house) but packs a mighty good value with its private beach membership, use of kayak/sup, and bikes. Clean and extremely well stocked and owner checked in to make sure everything was ok. A summer downside is that the road noise from hwy 89 starts around 6:30 am and is very loud with windows open when you are trying to sleep. It didn’t bother the rest of my family, but I am a light sleeper and it did bother me. Also, due to bear activity the downstairs windows are to be closed at night; this makes the downstairs room a bit warm to sleep in. Luckily we had very pleasant weather during our stay. Tahoe is beautiful! Thank you for opening your home to us!

About the host

Hosted by Pascha and Jay Pennock

Host profile image
Our family has been going to Tahoe for years. We live in Santa Cruz and love the water, so when this property became available, we jumped at it. We love to hike and ride bikes and play in the lake in winter and ski, snowboard and cross country ski in the winter.

Why they chose this property

Our family has been going to Tahoe together for years and wanted a place of our own to make darling memories. We came across the Sequoia house and the four of us all immediately fell in love. It was the perfect combination of rustic Tahoe and cozy feelings. From the moment we stepped through the door to look at the fireplace and knotty pine wooden walls we were in love with our new home. The west shore is fabulous! Easy to get to from I-80 and flat terrain means that winter travel is easy. We love pets and that's why our place is available to responsible pet owners and their beloved pets!

What makes this property unique

From the large open front yard to watch the bikers and passers-by during the summer, to the beautiful enclosed back yard with a hammock to take a well-deserved little nap, this cozy cottage creates pure relaxation. The charming kitchen with the rustic 1930's Wedgewood oven/stove creates an old-time feel that is unbeatable (and it works great!). The lake is just a stone's throw away. And you can bike everywhere...you'll almost never need your car! We also allow you use of our "toys" kayaks, a paddle board and four bikes! Enjoy, have fun, and use at your own risk.
