About this property

Buck Haus- North Lake Tahoe Dog-friendly, Lakeview, Walk to Lake, Hot Tub

*Tahoe is a beautiful and fun place to visit, but occasionally this area can be affected by extreme weather events. While we never want things like icy roads, road closures, or smoke from wildfires to negatively impact our guests, it can happen. We ask travelers to plan their vacation appropriately for the rural mountain climate and encourage guests to research all travel insurance options, as Tahoe Moon Properties cannot provide refunds for things outside of our control.

*Please note the pictures show twin beds in 2 bedrooms- starting May 2022 the bottom 2 bedrooms will have a Queen bed.

Dog-friendly - Lake & Mountain View -Private Hot Tub- Great Patio Furniture in Summer!

Less than 2 miles from Tahoe City on Lake Tahoe's beautiful North Shore, this vacation home offers a spacious multi-level layout perfect for families or groups of close friends. The Buck Haus offers easy access to the Tahoe City bike path, a quick walk to Skylandia's beach, as well as a short drive to both downhill and cross-country skiing at world-renowned Lake Tahoe ski resorts. The Buck Haus sleeps 8 people very comfortably.

The living areas have beautifully high cathedral ceilings and a wall of windows looking out on the trees, mountains, and the lake. No lack of natural light here! As you enter the home, you are greeted with an immediate breathtaking view of the mountains and lake Tahoe peeking through the trees. The split-level open-plan design allows you to take in these views from the kitchen, dining room, living areas, and large deck alike.

The kitchen is large and well equipped with lots of preparation room. It sits easily accessible to the dining and living areas and wide open to the entire great room. This allows the chef in the family to keep their spot in a friendly board game from the other room while cooking up something nice. After dinner, enjoy a cozy fire in the large stone fireplace as you start to unwind for the evening. Off the living area is a large sunny deck with plenty of patio furniture, a BBQ, and a hot tub creating the perfect outdoor area for summertime entertaining.

Down the stairs to the first landing are two bedrooms, each with a king bed and a shared bathroom. On the next level, you will find the laundry facilities (brand new washer and dryer), two more bedrooms, and a shared bathroom. These rooms consist of a queen bed in each room. Each of these lower bedrooms opens out onto the second large deck which is equipped with a secluded hot tub.

The location is great for summer or winter vacations, including a great dog beach just around the corner. You can also go rafting down the Truckee River, water ski or swim in the lake, rent a jet ski or enjoy the many hiking and biking trails around the lake. There are also beautiful cross-country and snowshoe trails with views of the lake, and snowmobile tours for winter travelers. At night, there are so many great restaurants and bars you'll have difficulty deciding where to go next!

Great home in a quiet neighborhood

We loved this house for our summer trip to Tahoe. The beds were comfy and the rooms were perfect for us. It was a group of 40 something women on an annual girls trip. There were some quirks about the space but otherwise it was awesome.

Beautiful week long stay!

Met some friends and family here with our two doggos. We all worked from home and enjoyed the nearby walkable areas on the lake! It was a perfect spot if you’re looking for coziness and beauty! The area was in off season so hardly anyone was around.

Best Tahoe Vacation Yet

We loved this house. Located only a few minuets from Tahoe City and the Lake. Plenty of space, large kitchen and living space. We would definitely recommend this to friends and family.

Wonderful stay for our family

Our family had a great time in this house. It has plenty of room for people to separate and it’s a short walk to the beach. There were plenty of plates in the kitchen and we were able to cook every day. You can also see the lake in between the trees. We had young children and the stairs and the gaps in the railing were a bit dangerous for our little ones. Also, it is tough to nap during the day if others are awake since you could hear everything, even foot steps. Overall, we had a great trip and we would definitely stay here again.

Great Time!

We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the cabin. The fridge and stove were immaculate, important as we cooked thanksgiving dinner! The picture of the stove is different from what is there, but nonetheless it worked great. Location was amazing - quiet and cozy! Lots of the nearby restaurants were closed due to timing of the season. It was a perfect cabin for our group of 8.

Amazing place

This place was amazing and extremely cozy. Thank you so much for letting us stay here. The fireplace, kitchen and rooms were so comfortable. The only complaint we had is the locks did not work on some of the doors and it did not make us feel very safe. The patio slider was difficult to lock. Other than that, the stay was perfect. Tahoe Moon was so easy to get ahold of and allowed for a late checkout.

Great spot for the price

Aside from not having AC, which is listed accurately, the property was nice enough for the price. I’m giving it 5 stars because it was what I expected and we had a great time. However, we probably won’t stay in a unit like this again because it was brutally hot. Even at night, with all the fans, we all had a hard time sleeping due to the heat. I had to freeze water bottles and sleep with them around my legs and armpits haha. Not sure if window AC units are possible for the property managers, but would definitely upgrade the experience for folks in the summer. Anyway, good management, good location, fun experience!

Pleasant stay and good location

House is dog friendly and near many parks and trails. The layout keeps the house from feeling crowded even with a larger group. As noted, the noise from people walking above you is very loud and it sounds like they are in the room with you. Kitchen is well appointed but no basics. Take your salt and pepper!

Wonderful location

The house was perfect for our little family reunion. It’s a 10 min walk to the beach (no need to round up folks and get everyone into cars), a coffee shop and breakfast place are nearby as well and there is a trail near the house. The house was clean and well stocked with pots, gadgets, and enough glasses for everyone. Note: there is NO lake view and NO AC. The rooms were very hot until early morning hours.

Enjoyable

Location of cabin was excellent, short walk to a wonderful beach. Deck was large, which was great as there is no yard space for kids. Layout of cabin was comfortable with bedrooms on the second and third floors. Downside, there are 3 set of stairs, hard for seniors and toddlers. The railings on the stairs are a hazard to small children, as the openings are large. This is a great wonderful cabin, would stay again but not with small children.

As described.

Very large older home, as described in ad, we loved the elk mounting. It was way more than we needed, we were a party of 3 and one dog. It could easily accommodate a large family. We knew there was no AC, we were not anticipating the heat wave we had but we were aware of lack of AC and the bugs, although numerous, did not deter us from keeping windows open. Not all windows have screens, but we got over it pretty quickly. There were lots of fans, we also brought two of our own. Downstairs is much cooler than upstairs. We were not familiar with the area but we were disappointed in the lack of access to the Dollar Point beach. It was the main reason we picked this location, unfortunately short term renters are prohibited from using it at all which was a huge bummer. We made plans to do other activities away from the area so it worked out but it would have been nice to have access to that beach. Walking the neighborhood was a good workout, there are many hills and not much flat area near by. We did not have hot water and needed to contact the rental agency, they did send someone to remedy the issue but they were short staffed and I had to reach out a few times to find out if and when they were coming. It did get fixed same day though so we were good to go after that. Be aware, the home next to us did rent to a large party of what seemed to be fraternity brothers and they were very, very loud during the day. It did not help that I had a touch of altitude sickness and a migraine. They did respect the noise levels after10pm but not a moment sooner. Was not expecting to have a group of loud drinking buddies partying on the deck mid day in to the evening while we were there to relax. Not the fault of the property, but just be aware that there are several rentals in the area and these large homes can accommodate large parties. Clifford liked hanging out on the deck, he was able to catch the cool breeze and check out all the happenings down below in the neighborhood. Thanks for the cool dog bandana, he loved it but refused to sit still for a photo!

Wonderful Family Vacation

My family and I had a lovely stay at Buck Haus this summer! The home was large, had a well-stocked kitchen, jacuzzi, comfortable beds, and a large patio with stunning views! We enjoyed being just a short walk to the beach and 15-min drive/bike ride to town. It'd be great if the owners could add AC :) or a few more fans because it gets quite warm. Also screens in all the doors/windows would be a nice addition. All and all we had a wonderful stay and would be happy to return!

Cozy cabin feel with plenty of room to entertain and a beautiful scenic view of the Tahoe forest

The Cabin had a rustic feel with a modern touch. As soon as you enter the door you look out the large windows at the Tahoe pines and see a sliver of the lake. The kitchen is remodeled (except the fridge) and the couches in the living room are new, spacious, and cozy. The hot tub fits 8 people comfortably. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars was the floors aren't insulated/soundproof and you can hear everything going on upstairs. Ok for a group of adults but if you have kids going to bed early or early risers in the house, you can hear every pitter patter upstairs. Other than that, this house was great and I would recommend it for a group of friends getting together for the weekend or a family who is all on the same sleep schedule
