About this property

Our family built this house in 1971 in the beautiful, quiet Dollar Point neighborhood. It is a very well-maintained home that has a renovated kitchen and upper level bathroom. This is a quiet, residential area that will make you feel like you're at home. Yet you are minutes from town, ski & board mountains, trails, water, golf, shopping and more. The house is built on a hill so you will always have a view of beautiful Lake Tahoe. Not to mention great sledding in the winter. We are partial to 'Old Tahoe' ways and enjoy restaurants that have endured the times like Jake's on the Lake. There is a reservoir across North Lake Drive about a 1-mile walk from the house. This recreation area meets up with the Tahoe Rim Trail for endless hours of biking and hiking. If you're into geocaching, there are some fun caches there - including ours called 'Dogpatch'.
Paved bike path by Dollar Point entrance that is easy ride to town, along West Shore, or to Olympic Valley.
Keywords: spacious, comfortable, public beach, hiking, and biking. 15 minutes from most ski hills. 3 miles to town.

We loved the Swiss Cabin!!

Great location; perfect accommodations for our extended family with two king rooms and two twin rooms. Our kids loved the game room in the garage and the basketball hoop in the driveway. The kitchen had everything you could need! The upper rooms were a little warm in the August heat so we ended up using all of the provided fans. Perhaps a small ac unit would be a nice addition for summer stays. Plenty of linens were provided and they were very clean. André was an excellent communicator and very helpful! We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Amazingly stocked and clean home

We had a great stay. The house was amazingly well stocked with every supply you would ever need. Towels, paper products, enough dishes for everyone for multiple meals, spices, foil, pots and pans. Even coupe glasses! The house was also very clean and comfortable. The upstairs did get warm (June) but there are fans and a ceiling fan so we still slept comfortably. Location is great and the evenings were nice and quiet in the neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again anytime of the year.

Peaceful neighborhood near Tahoe City

Our party of six enjoyed a five night stay at this family home in the peaceful Dollar Point neighborhood. The listing was exactly as pictured and described. (Note that the beds are very firm, which was loved by some and not so much by others.) The house was clean, well-appointed and in a great location for our Lake Tahoe adventures. The front deck was our favorite spot to eat meals, play games, relax, and enjoy the view of Lake Tahoe.

Wonderful family vacation in Dollar Point

We had a great time during our stay. The house was in a beautiful neighborhood and had a nice view of the lake. Our family enjoyed nights together on the deck and eating dinner and playing games in the kitchen and living rooms. The two little kids enjoyed it very much as well (there was a pack n play and booster seat provided). The house itself has a rustic mountain feel to it that made it feel genuine. The area is a great central location for summer activities such as the beach, hiking, biking, golfing, boating, etc. There is a delicious coffee shop/bakery nearby. Tahoe City is a nice little town. Overall highly recommend.

Timeless cabin inside and out. We felt like a locals!

Our family of four (two adults and two children ages 11 and 14) enjoyed our stay at this property so much! We felt like locals transported back in time while staying in such a beautiful timeless cabin. The location was great and the neighborhood is absolutely beautiful as we were surrounded by other thoughtfully designed homes. We had more than enough space and also enjoyed the outdoor spaces and the view of the sky and the lake from the deck. We had everything we needed from bath towels to kitchen needs and our kids really enjoyed the air hockey table downstairs. The only time we had to make adjustments was at bedtime upstairs because it got very hot by the end of the day. But with the provided fans we made it work for our kids. I might suggest two more box fans for guests not accustomed to life without A/C. It is a gem of a property! Thank you for letting us stay!

Great stay

Our group (adults + kids) had a great stay at the cabin! We loved the central location and the view. The cabin had everything we needed and is quite spacious. The decor is very nice and cozy, with tons of games for kids to explore. The kitchen has everything you would need. Restaurants, sightseeing and grocery stores are all close by. The host was very helpful and easy to communicate with. Overall a great value. We would be happy to come back.

Get away paradise

This cozy cabin was a perfect destination for a winter get away, the snow was in no shortage, and the house was a great haven to kick the shoes off and gather around a fire. Would also recommend trying it in the spring because it is less than a 5 minute drive to the lake.

Cozy cabin in a Great Neighborhood

This house is a very nicely-sized space and worked very well for our family of five. It is not fancy, but is very comfortable and everything works very well. Very clean and comfortable. Loved the Gnome Room with vintage furniture. The layout is very nice. We had lots of fun playing games at the large dining table, cooking in the well-stocked and very functional kitchen, and watching movies in the family room. We were there when the weather was pretty rough, so we spent most of the time inside and really enjoyed it. The mattresses are on the very firm side, so bring a foam egg-crate if you need softer padding. The neighborhood is super quiet with very nice houses and provides a very lovely area to walk around in.

About the host

Hosted by André

Built by my parents, this cabin has been a family vacation get-away for many, many years.
We call it "the cabin" but really it is a house, with all the rooms and amenities.

Why they chose this property

This is our family cabin, comfortable, spacious and fully appointed kitchen. It is not fancy. If you are looking for granite countertops, high-end range and lux appointments, this is not the place. However, many couples, singles and families have enjoyed its quiet location, amenities, and ease of access to many North Lake Tahoe locations.
