About this house rental
Discover the perfect Lake Tahoe West Shore vacation rental at Ward Creek Retreat, a charming “Old Tahoe” cabin built over 60 years ago. This cozy mountain home combines rustic character with modern comforts and features three bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a main-floor primary suite with king bed and ensuite bathroom, plus two upstairs bedrooms each with two twin beds and an additional full bath—ideal for families, friends, or multi-generational trips.
Enjoy unmatched access to Tahoe's natural beauty with Ward Creek, hiking trails, and national forest right outside your door. Relax in the peaceful mountain setting while staying just a short walk from Sunnyside, William Kent Beach, and easy drives or bike rides to Tahoe City.
Inside, the open living and dining area features a wood-burning fireplace, large flat-screen TV, and flows onto the back patio—perfect for alfresco dining, family gatherings, or evening cocktails. The grassy backyard with a creek adds even more charm and space for outdoor fun.
Additional highlights include dog-friendly accommodations, walking access to a shuttle stop for Alpine Meadows' Sherwood Chairlift, and easy proximity to all of Tahoe's top skiing, hiking, and water activities. Whether you're looking for a mountain adventure, a relaxing getaway, or a mix of both, Ward Creek Retreat is the ultimate Lake Tahoe escape.

the cabin needs a little work. I understand its an older cabin but the pots and pans are from the same era.

Our family had a very nice time. The cabin was very nice and clean. And it is located in a secluded area with the beautiful surrounding with lots of trees and water. And all the Tahoe getaway staff have been very kind and supportive. Overall it's been very fun doing some activities like tree top adventure, picnic at the beach, shopping 🛍️ and etc.etc. We will definitely be back!
Thank you ❤️😊

This cabin was wonderful. And if it had been any other time than August, I would have only amazing things to say. But... I would have really loved to have read a review like this before I stayed. We stayed in the cabin in mid August and there is no AC. If you look closely at the listing, "AC" is not checked, so you should know that going in. However, it is hot. And I mean so incredibly hot, we had to leave all day and only come back at night where it was still 88 degrees. And upstairs it's even hotter. The fans only circulate the warm air. And while nice they have them (they are portable not in the ceiling), they don't help much when it's in the high 80s inside the cabin. It bakes. We had a really hard time sleeping because it was so hot. Anyway....we would totally come back here again - just never in the summer when it's above 75 degrees outside during the day. This cabin is lovely - and so charming - and I am in no way trying to bash the place. But it needs to be said. Our mistake was not realizing there was no AC ahead of time. So I'm saying it now to make sure everyone is aware. So, there it is. Now you know :)
