About this property

Hike or bike out the back door into forest near Lake HOT TUB on deck Sleeps 6-10

This cabin is fun year-round!
Updated 3 bedroom, 3 bath A-frame cabin with a bonus game room (Sleeps 6-10). Newer slate fireplace and entry, gas fireplace is thermostat controlled and we have a newer central heat so you will be cozy! Flat screen TVs, Netflix, as well as free high speed WiFi. New furniture and linens throughout. So many kitchen utensils and appliances: griddle, Nespresso machine, coffee maker, toaster, crockpot, humidifier, iron/board, etc.

The game room with foosball will be a hit with your party! The kids will enjoy the games, toys, play kitchen, movies, and books. The adults will enjoy a wide selection of games, books, and movies as well. TV/DVD in the game room. It also boasts 2 single fold-out chairs and a brand new full bathroom along with its own exterior door and window to the back yard.

Winter renters: Sled hill right out the back door. Cross country ski or snowshoe right into the trails of the Tahoe National Forest. Or, take a soak in the hot tub on the deck while star-gazing.

In 20 minutes you can be at Squaw or Alpine, 25 minutes to Northstar or the casinos! Tahoe City is only 5 minutes away with fine dining and shopping. Garwoods is even closer.

Summer renters: Miles of trails in the Tahoe National Forest just out our back door! Less than a mile down the hill is beautiful Lake Tahoe and walk out our back door into one of the many hiking and biking trails including the Tahoe Rim Trail. A hot tub & two large decks for outdoor dining & relaxation. The OHV trail begins about 15 houses up from ours so bring your ATV, dirt bikes, etc. and enjoy the trails.

Please note during the summer months wildfire smoke can be unpredictable and winds change daily. During the winter months snow storms can come quick and change daily, disrupting travel plans. We recommend our guests purchase trip insurance that covers natural disasters such as wildfire smoke and snow storms as we are not able to accommodate refunds for last minute cancellations. There is an air purifier in the cabin if there happens to be smoke during your stay.

A short 5 - 10 minute drive will bring you to the Truckee River for rafting or tubing, to the coast guard station to launch a boat or to one of many public beaches.

A Thanksgiving visit
Our family met up to celebrate Thanksgiving at this cozy property. It is lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The neighborhood contains walking trails that can be accessed from behind the yard or down the street. There were a few concerns with our visit. Many of the serving/cooking utensils were dirty and had to be washed before using. The beds were very comfortable but found at the end of our stay (when we took the sheets off the beds) that the mattress pad in the downstairs bedroom was covered in various lengths of dark hair. The sheets were not removed from the beds until just prior to leaving- the hair was there before our arrival. The fabric of the mattress cover seemed the type to attract things to stick to it and should have been something easily noticed by the housekeeper. Somewhat disconcerting especially given the fees paid for cleaning.

Great Little Cabin in the Woods
We stayed at Amelia's place for a long weekend, looking to score on some snow after the storms in early Feb. It's a great little place for exactly that -- cozy, has all the things you need. It's a quiet little neighborhood with access to a trail right behind the house. The back deck looks out into the woods, so sitting in the hot tub feels very peaceful and almost like you're alone in the trees. Our pup loves tromping around in the snow, which the backyard and trails are great for. We'll definitely be back!

Some concerns
The property does not accommodate 8-10 people, maybe 5-6 max. BBQ was filthy and took 30 minutes to clean so we could use it. Kitchen supplies were minimal and required turning on the dishwasher after every meal in order to have enough silverware and serving bowls. Third bathroom required going down a ladder or outside to access it which was not possible for some guests. Not somewhere I would stay in the summer. There is no AC and it was 85-90 degrees at bedtime causing sleepless nights. There are only beds for 6 people so one of our guest had to sleep on a couch. Shower curtains fell down frequently. The DVD player did not work. Inside the houses was clean. Games room was well stocked with games and books. Coffee maker was a big hit. Neighborhood was perfect and close to beaches and hiking trails. Lots of parking on the property. Nice hot tub.

Family Getaway
Our stay was nice. Not much happened so it was exactly what I was looking for. Going from triple digit temps to 70’s was great. The neighborhood was quite and relaxing. The cabin could use some upgrades but we managed to make everything work for us.

Perfect Getaway
We came up for a long weekend with family and had a great time. There was plenty of room for the 8 of us (6 adults and 2 kids 1&3). The cabin was exactly as we expected, it was clean, well maintained and very cozy. The kitchen had everything you would need including a Nespresso and Keurig coffee maker. You can sled ride in the back yard or just another 100 yards and there is groomed trails that you can walk or sled. We were there on Super Bowl weekend and we were able to stream it on their Wi-Fi. The check in and check out process was very easy. We will definitely go back.

Updated Tahoe classic
Nicely updated decor with new and modern appliances. Lots of space in the kitchen for cooking and a huge dining table for big group meals. Comfortable beds in good sized bedrooms. Bonus game room downstairs adds lots of extra space, but requires going up and down a ladder as shown in photos. The upstairs shower is also pretty small, but recently renovated.

Clean and cozy cabin
My family had a wonderful stay in this cozy cabin. We came up for a ski weekend and particularly enjoyed the close proximity to the mountain and the hot tub on the deck. The cabin was very clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. Check-in was super easy, and Amelia was very communicative. We would love to come back!

Cozy and clean
We enjoyed our stay! Everything was very clean and cozy. Kitchen is very clean and functional. Nice long kitchen table to gather around. Bathrooms are a bit small and one bedroom door is tough to open and close, making for noise when others are sleeping. Great to have a hill behind the house for sledding and playing. Close to an amazing trail! Thank you!

Awesome Cabin
The perfect cabin for a cozy, close-quarters getaway. Location is perfect near Northstar and Truckee with Tahoe City close by for groceries. Hot tub with the string lights was the perfect way to start or end any day and the living room sofa is a great one to accidentally fall asleep on. My wife and I certainly plan to be back with friends for a ski week.

Memories of Childhood Cabin
Sweet cabin. Beautiful access to nature right out the back. Cabin is perfectly nestled and hugged by big pine trees (nutures my soul). Splendid decks front and back. The icing? Hot Tub up on deck under the stars! Easy acces to tub from back door off kitchen. Thoroughly appreciated this sweet find!

Just right!!
This property is exactly as described! It’s clean, comfortable, well stocked, and just the right amount of “funky”! My favorite part are the trails right out the back door… my Dogs were in heaven! We loved the hot tub after long days of hiking or golfing. The Host was incredible. There was a major glitch that she had no control over (power company stuff) and she went waaay out of her way to make it right. I’d do it again… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Family Summer Vacation
This was our first visit in Lake Tahoe and we were pleased and excited about all the outdoor activities that we experienced. When it's time to decompress and relax, our stay in the cabin was much needed. It was the right amount of space for family of 10. We enjoyed the trail outside the backyard and our kids definitely explored the vicinity. A few suggestions to make the stay a little bit more comfortable are to provide fans in the upstairs twin bed room, the room by the kitchen, and the gameroom during the summer seasons. It got really uncomfortable sleeping at night when the air was warm. In addition, the bathrooms did not have bath rugs. This may seem to be a small issue but the pools of water gathered on the floor is a big safety concern. Overall, a wonderful home to stay in and a very impressive communication with Amelia.

Lovely mountain cabin
This beautiful property is classy and elegant, and perfectly located at the edge of the national forest. We loved hiking and playing in the snow, and lounging in the hot tub. Amelia was easy to communicate with and was very gracious about allowing us to stay a bit longer on check out day. Not sure if this is listed, but it would be good to note that there is a vertical ladder (like on a ship) to access the game room.
