A short walk from the home will take you to a small hill that is great for sledding! Those wonderful trails on the National Forest system near the home are perfect for enjoying some XC skiing and snowshoeing in the winter months.

If a little less physical activity is what you are looking for you are just a 10-minute drive west to Tahoe City and 10 minutes east from Kings Beach. In both places, you will find sandy beaches, farmers markets and major grocery stores, golf courses, small boutique shopping, waterfront parks, golf courses, weekly concerts in the summer, and a wide variety of bars and restaurants. You are also 10 minutes from the Nevada state line where you will find casinos and concert venues. This cabin is the perfect launching pad for any Lake Tahoe experience!

Centrally located off HWY 28 and within walking distance of two public transportation stops, you can comfortably get by without having a vehicle if needed. Less than a mile from the home is the public transportation TART stop at Hwy 28 at Sierra Boat Co which will take you to locations such as Kings Beach. Just a half a mile from the home will take you to the TART stop at Hwy 28 at Sahara Dr, from here you are a 12-minute bus ride to Tahoe City. Easily connect to other locations at the Tahoe City Transit Center, where you can find buses to locations such as Northstar California Resort. The home is also nearby a Night Rider bus stop, please note that the night rider bus is only offered seasonally.

Those with a vehicle enjoy being close to HWY 28 and the quick access it provides to the beautiful surrounding areas with less than a 10-minute drive to Tahoe City or the Nevada state line. Just a two-minute drive will take you to Patton Beach, and the popular Kings Beach is an 8-minute drive away. In the wintertime, you are centrally located for skiing all of the best resorts with a 25-minute drive or less from three of the area's best ski resorts, Northstar, Squaw Valley ski resort, and Tahoe Nordic Cross Country Center.

Perfect Tahoe Stay

This was a great spot for a week stay just my husband and our two small dogs. Certainly room for another couple. Cleanest VRBO hot tub ever! Comfy beds. Very well appointed kitchen. So nice to have washer/dryer especially for a week stay. Walkable to Garwoods for a cocktail! Host was great. We would stay again!

Fabulous Gem

We had a wonderful stay. 2 nights wasn’t enough, we wished we could stay longer. We will definitely be back. Perfectly located, close to everything, yet private and quiet. Loved the kitchen, hot tub, record player, real fire place ( no wood, so we had to buy some and do yard cleanup of fallen sticks), board games and fabulous decks and BBQ. We never turned the tv on once ( and we have two younger kids) so we enjoyed family time together. Bed was too soft for my back issues, but my husband and kids slept like babies. It was very special for me to stay in a cabin just down the street from my family’s cabin we had in the family for over 40 years. It was like home away from home.

Awesome cabin and location

4 of us on a ski trip - great location - we hit Palisades, Alpine, Northstar, Sugar, Incline all with ease, plus great hiking locations on non-ski days, not far from XC ski area, walkable to small town center / coffee shop / lakefront/ marina. Short drive to good grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Loved the hot tub, wood burning fireplace, smart TV... VERY comfortable home amazingly well equipped. Responsive manager. 10 stars.

Cozy place with nice neighbors

The overall stay was great. The house is cozy and had everything we needed. With the weather circumstances, we were a bit concern on how the check-out Policies would work and how we would be supported in case the conditions would be unsafe to leave. Would be nice to have a better understanding and communication to address these external circumstances. Thank you.

Great getaway!

We loved our stay at the Timberwood cabin! The location was perfect, and the cabin itself had everything you need. The kitchen was well-equipped and made meals easy. The fireplace, TV and assortment of games were perfect for a snowy long weekend. The hot tub was spotless and got a lot of use. Our two dogs loved it as well! We are super picky but would definitely return to this cabin

Great home close to lake

Spacious. Clean. Well equipped. Nice big deck nestled in the pines. Comfy beds and nicely remodeled bathrooms. Very pet friendly (although yard is not fenced in so if you bring your animals they likely need to be on a leash at all times). Warning though that with climate change and Tahoe temps in July hovering around 91-92 (heat of the day), the cabin heats up by afternoon like a sauna (95 inside) and no amount of door/window openings/cross ventilation will cool it down even late into the night. Fans provided helped a small amount but the heat makes it uncomfortable to sleep even after the outside temps drop into the 60’s. We spent a lot of time on the deck which is great but it gets hot in the sun out there by about 1-2pm. I’m sure this is a nice feature in the winter or more cooler temps but sadly not in mid July. With global warming, it might be worth considering a wall unit AC. Would def stay here again as the cabin is great but maybe not in July.
