Great cabin in beautiful location
We chose the cabin for the location, near snowshoeing trails that are easy to access, and near Desolation Hotel (used to be Sorenson's) which has a cute restaurant.The location worked out perfectly, there is plenty to do nearby or it's a short drive to South Lake Tahoe. The cabin itself is really lovely and well-maintained. The owners were helpful and easy to communicate with. There are baseboard heaters in the bedrooms which keep the cabin a very comfortable temperature in the winter, but do make it quite dry. If your sinuses are sensitive, you might consider bringing a humidifier. Generally speaking, this is a great place to stay for a winter getaway.

Everything about this cabin was incredible -- the smells of the timber, the sounds of the stream just off the back patio, the fireplace crackling through the evening. Can't wait to come back again in the future!

Markleeville Stay
One of the best places we’ve stayed in a long time. Great location, friendly neighborhood and inside the cabin was amazing. The owners communicated with us very nicely and promptly over the VRBO app if we had any questions. If you’re looking to stay in the area, this place has to be your choice.

This is the cabin of dreams. Solid, well-made, beautiful. The kitchen was very well stocked and included Keurig coffee. The fireplace is as cozy as it gets. Sitting on the deck outside over the flowing river was so relaxing. We would rent this again and recommend it to friends.

Super cute and cozy cabin
Our family had a wonderful time at this cabin. The layout of the home was great. Loved all the natural light. The view of the river from the living room and deck was beautiful. We stayed during a snow storm and it was even more magical. We can't wait to go back and experience the fall colors.

Beautiful cabin home
We had a lovely stay at the cabin -- it was beautiful, cozy, comfortable, and had the most perfect small kitchen with everything you need. The master bedroom and bath in particular are super lovely and more luxurious than we expected for a cabin home. The view out the windows of the river and mountains is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We live in the Bay area and love to getaway to this beautiful cabin any chance we can. This is our family retreat which holds many memories from when our kids were young.
Our adult kids love to come up and make memories of their own now. We all Love it!

Why they chose this property

Beautiful location 15 minutes from South Lake Tahoe and 20 minutes from Kirkwood Ski Resort. We enjoy watching the river that runs right through our property. It is a unique and prime location. There are very few cabins in our area.

What makes this property unique

This property is unique and very special to our family. The deck that extends over the river is the perfect spot to sit and listen to the river and take in the beautiful scenery. There is so much charm in this special area it just grabs at your heart. We love this special place and are happy to share it.
