Good rental

It was a good rental , it could have been a little cleaner. And if you're coming for any length of time there is no closet space or dresser space

Great week in a cute cabin

Cabin is in a great location. Perfect size for a family of four. Easy walk down to the beach and short drive to many fun outings. Kids will love the upstairs attic room. The hosts were great too. Thanks so much, we will definitely be back.

Charming, Cozy Home - Great Stay

We stayed here for 2 nights in October. The cabin was great. Fully stocked kitchen, very clean, perfect for the family. The kids loved the loft upstairs. The backyard was huge, perfect for the pets. We will definitely stay here again.

GREAT location and full CABIN feel

This house sits in a great , safe, friendly part of town. 15 minute walk to the beach (two nice restaurants that overlook the water), 4 minute drive down ski run rd. To the water. Up ski run road, it’s an 8 minute drive to Heavenly to snowboard. The recommendations in the little book for food, bars, and tourist places to see are on point. 6-8 minute drive to the casinos, 12 to golf, 15 to hiking. Great comfortable beds and pet friendly. Highly recommend and the owner/ host is very quick to respond for any needs necessary. : )

Wedding in Tahoe :)

We decided after 15 years, a week before our trip to get married while on our vacation. I talked with Tamara last week and she was able to give me some fabulous recommendations on where to go for hair and a couple other things as well. When we arrived we got a gift basket delivered with champagne, chocolate covered strawberries and even some flutes!!! The cabin itself is absolutely perfect. Equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. Perfect location and the fact we got to bring our pups with us made it that more memorable. We'll definitely be returning :)

There are no words to describe how amazing our stay was

It was amazing, everything was organized and clean, the decor was nice and comfy. The beds were very comfortable. We loved the dvd’s they had for us. The kitchen was nice. The price you have to pay is definitely worth it, overall our stay was perfect.

Perfect cabin getaway!

We love staying at this cute, cozy cabin. My kids ask to go back there all the time. They love the loft and the back yard. We even got some fresh snow while we were there to make for some pretty spectacular spring skiing. The cabin is stocked with everything you need and the welcome basket was really nice!

Fantastic Cabin

Charming and rustic, very clean, well appointed with amenities, excellent location, well stocked kitchen, quality towels and linens, personal touches everywhere. The owners clearly take pride in this place. Backyard was buried in deep snow, but it is spacious and looked to be a fine space for warmer seasons. My quibbles are minor, but I will state them as I know owners like complete and honest feedback: The foam mattresses on the beds are very soft and may not please those preferring a firm bed. While the place has beds for 8 including a futon and two singles in a tight loft area, any more than 4 adults would be a tight squeeze in this smallish cabin. Keep in mind there’s only one bathroom. Stairway is steep and narrow and might pose difficulties for the mobility impaired. Definitely recommended and it will certainly be on my list of favorites for our next Tahoe trip.

So cozy!

We loved our stay at the cabin. It fit our large family comfortably. We loved that we were able to take our dog with us since she’s definitely part of the family. The backyard was huge we loved that it was fenced. Wish we could have stayed longer and had some snow but we will have to come back for sure!

A happy, cozy, clean, safe, well supplied cabin.

We had a great time. There are so many details that show the owners are prepared and want to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. We already recommended this cabin to other friends and it will be the first cabin we check when we plan our next trip. It is cozy, comfy, charming, clean and safe. We loved it.

Perfect fit for adventure and shopping

The cabin was very charming, classic in the idea of what a cabin should look like. Very clean, well stocked kitchen. The proximity to town and shopping, gambling and hiking trails was great. The only thing is it's located in a working neighborhood so folks are leaving for work in the morning. Not a problem if you're up and at-um early 😁

4th Stay!

This was my husband’s and my 4th stay at Tamara and Nick’s cabin. It always feels so cozy, homey and quaint. All of the bear decor always makes me smile! 🐻 Just like usual, Tamara was quick to respond and helpful. We love it here. It’s so close to everything, but still so quiet and serene. Thank you, Tamara and Nick! I think after stay #4, it’s safe to say, we’ll be back!

Even better the 2nd time!

This was our 2nd stay in Tamara and Nick’s cabin, and it was even better than the first time. The decor was as warm and inviting as I remembered, and it made us feel like we were in Tahoe! The cabin is well equipped with all the comforts of home, and the beds are super comfy! The backyard is very spacious and tranquil! I loved sitting in the swing! We were attending the Keith Urban concert at Harvey’s, so the cabin’s location was perfect! I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone wanting the stay in the area!

Quaint Cabin in a Great Location

Our stay was pretty great! Tamara was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. The location was ideal for the things we wanted to do. The only complaint I have was that it was quite hot at night when we were trying to sleep. It didn't seem like the AC was blowing much air. Overall, however, I would still rent this place again for all the other great things this property has to offer.

I had the most wonderful time, and this cabin suited everything... just everything!!!!

My first experience with VRBO, and everything was wonderful! Quiet neighborhood, more amenities than I needed, and a homey feel. Excellent communication, directions, history of the cabin, and a warm welcome from the owners! The only bad thing was that it wasn't right on the lake! 😉... but that's just being picky! Thanks so much for a wonderful stay, in a gorgeous area, and that says a lot being from Montana!!

About the host

Hosted by Tamara Bakkie

Host profile image
Nick is a graphic designer and Tamara is an insurance professional. We were both born and raised in the Sacramento area and have been spoiled by the beauty and amenities Lake Tahoe has to offer. Nick grew up skiing and snowboarding the mountains of Tahoe since he was a young child. When the snow season is over, we both love to visit Lake Tahoe to kayak, paddleboard and hike in the summer. We both also love to “try our luck” from time to time at the casinos and feast at the buffets! We truly hope you love staying at our cabin as much as we do and return with your family and friends to make many memories up here!

Why they chose this property

You will feel right at home at this cabin with all the amenities you need for your stay. Bring the whole family! There’s a kitchen complete with a coffee maker, full size refrigerator and freezer, stove/oven, microwave, dishes and pots and pans so you can enjoy home cooked meals during your stay.

There are 2 bedrooms (each with a queen bed), a charming “lake loft” (with two twin beds) and a queen sized sleeper sofa. Don’t worry about packing too much because there are extra blankets, pillows, linens here waiting for you! You’ll love the wood burning fireplace to keep you warm on those chilly winter nights.

What makes this property unique

Lake Tahoe is the perfect year round vacation destination! Tahoe has it all – skiing, boating, hiking, bike trails, ice skating, blackjack, dancing, concerts…. You name it, it’s here! This Alpine paradise is filled with countless pine trees, gorgeous sunsets, breathtaking views and of course, the crystal clear blue waters of Lake Tahoe.
