About this property

Timberland Retreat - Tahoe City West Shore 4 BR 4 Bath with private hot tub - Sleeps 9

Escape to the tall trees of Lake Tahoe at this beautifully remodeled, four-bedroom west shore vacation rental! Spend evenings relaxing in front of the gorgeous fireplace, cooking a meal in the fully equipped kitchen, or just sipping morning coffee on the large and spacious tree-lined deck, right near the shores of Lake Tahoe. Those looking for a peaceful retreat will love the location at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac that abuts US Forest Service Land.

Large windows showcase the scenic outdoors, and a sliding glass door off the living room leads to the deck. Family meals can be had at the large dining table (which seats 8-10 guests comfortably), and in the full kitchen, you'll have everything you'll need for food preparation. An open floor plan ensures that those that enjoy kitchen duty are never left out of the conversations too. Groups with mobility concerns will appreciate that three of the four bedrooms are all located on the main floor as well, each of them with a dedicated full bath too!

Upstairs, the primary suite offers a little more privacy from the group as well as a queen bed, 32'' flat screen TV and an ensuite bath with double vanity and combination shower and tub.

While skiing is available in winter at nearby Homewood Mountain Resort and a few more miles away at Palisades Tahoe( formally known as Squaw Valley/Alpine Meadows), summertime offers many outdoor adventures at these same must-visit spots, not to mention that the beach at Hurricane Bay is less than a 5 minute walk through a woodsy trail and the west shore bike trail is easily accessible from this home too!! Families will also want to check out the Rideout Community Center which is only a short walk away as well. It offers an outdoor playground and athletic fields as well as indoor basketball court and game room.

A very nice place
A clean roomy well stocked rental. Had 8 adults , plenty of space and bathrooms .2 small issues , we did run out of hot water during showers on the first day and had to spread things out a bit after that . Also one of could figure out how to get the able TV in th slicing room to work . Not a big deal since we don’t go there o watch TV but it would have been nice to have

Great place to stay (but bring all the toiletries)
Ski trip weekend was amazing with the lovely combination of cozy living room with fireplace, hot tub, and snowy woodland view. Check in and out was incredibly easy. There is an oddly short timeline to send in a picture of your ID after booking, so be prepared for that. Also bring shampoo, conditioner, and soap for the shower.

Fun at Timberland
As usual we had a wonderful time staying at this wonderful getaway. During our past stays we had access to the garage which provided security for our expensive toys i.e. golf clubs, bikes, kayaks. This year access was not provided. Fortunately nothing got stolen. Operation of the tv system is very frustrating. One click on the wrong button on one of several controllers and all is lost. For some reason this year the hot tub had frogs hopping around. The women got freak out. Aside from the minor issues we had a great time.

Timberland Retreat
Lovely, quiet place -- a true retreat! Let's all work to keep the atmosphere of this location and respect the neighbors! House is very well equipped; clean; nice company to work with; good location; walking distance to nice rocky beach. An issue with the upstairs lights and one sink that I am confident will be taken care of. We will return to this quiet and comfortable home.

Perfect home vacation
Perfect rental for large families. 3 of the bedrooms have their own bathroom. Rental was very clean. Lot is beautiful. We spent nearly all our time at the house hanging out on the deck. Close to Sunnyside and public beach. We've rented a number of Tahoe rentals and this was the nicest by far! We would rent again!

The Timberland Retreat- is just that!
Our family loved the property! From when we first pulled up to see it was at the end of the culdesac, to the layout and space for everyone to find a quiet spot for themselves, to the fully and thoughtfully stocked kitchen, we all felt it was a home away from home! The lovely deck was the perfect place to enjoy all of our meals! We jacuzzi'd, played ping pong, and corn toss, as well as pulled out some games from the bunk bed room. The location was perfect, we walked to some trails and to the beach. What attracted me to the cabin were the big windows looking out on the surrounding forest, and I was so happy to have all of the views and the light inside the cabin. The management group and whole rental process was perfect! Thank you!!!

Homey Experience
Timberland Retreat Cabin was perfect for my family and I! We enjoyed our stay and the location was great for us. A Christmas tree was already provided and in the livingroom which we loved. Cabin was provided with extra towels, blankets, bed sheets, etc. Definitely felt welcomed and would highly recommend to friends and families!

Wonderful stay
We spent four nights at the Timberland cabin and had a great time! The property is just a few miles south of Tahoe City, and about a half hour north of Emerald Bay, tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. The home itself is well equipped and comfortable. It was a great surprise to us when we opened the garage and found table tennis and corn hole games! During warmer months this is like an entirely new area to hang out and have fun! I'd absolutely recommend this place for families and friends that need four bedrooms. Each bedroom having its own bathroom made getting ready/showering extremely easy.

Good walking cabin
This is a great location and the home is Very good! Only two issues: Road work all week in the street to the home (on a cul de sac), and the upstairs doesn't have a ceiling fan, so was warmer. We had bears one night too, opened all the car doors!

Fantastic vacation home for a family reunion
The group of us included people from four different cities, and we were all happy to have this home as our vacation home. The home is at the end of a residential street and neighbors a large wooden area with a remote feel. The house was stocked well with everything we needed, and the hot tub was a hit. Our only surprise was that two of the showers (out of four bathrooms total) had clear glass without privacy until the windows condensed over. We thought that was a bit odd and funny, but it was not a problem since there were two showers with complete privacy. We would book this home again for a repeat vacation.

A great cabin!
We had no issues come up during our stay at this house. It was as advertised and worked wonderfully for us to stay with two other families. Walls were surprisingly sound-proof which was a huge plus given that we had several children all on different nap schedules.

Great House!
Timberland was a wonderful place to stay! The house is beautiful and accommodated three generations of our family very comfortably. It is the best equipped house that we’ve ever rented, and conveniently located to Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley. Would definitely choose to rent it again in the future!

Very adequate and comfortable.
We had a great family visit. It was very cold weather but the house was nicely heated. The kitchen was furnished well with cookware and dishes. WiFi, tv and dvd worked w/o difficulty.The only suggestion for improvement would be new mattresses for some of the beds.

A well maintained vacation home in a beautiful setting
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed this place for our group! Great meeting areas in and outdoors. We loved using the recreation games and BBQ, peaceful mornings on the deck and walks to the lake. One minus is no close access to Lake Tahoe. I wish they had beach chairs for us to use when we did go to the beaches. The kitchen is very well stocked. I wish the office staff could have answered my kitchen questions because I brought up items that I did not need such as a blender, a griddle, good brownie pan, spices. There was no popcorn popper.
