About this cottage rental
Dog-Friendly - Hot Tub - Walk to Lake
Honeymoon Cottage is a cozy, pet-friendly North Lake Tahoe vacation rental tucked along a quiet street on the West Shore. The home offers that classic Tahoe cabin feel with wood floors, pine walls, and a warm, inviting living space centered around a wood stove. The kitchen is well equipped for easy meals and opens to the main living area, creating a comfortable space to relax and reconnect. Upstairs features two bedrooms, plus a second lounge area with plush seating, a gas fireplace, and TV. Step outside to the spacious deck with built-in bench seating and a private hot tub, perfect for unwinding after a day outdoors. An EV charger is available for guest use upon request.
This West Shore Lake Tahoe cabin is ideally located just minutes from Homewood Mountain Resort and a short drive to Palisades Tahoe for winter skiing. In warmer months, enjoy easy access to Lake Tahoe beaches, Sunnyside Marina, and lakeside dining at Sunnyside Resort, with golf, shopping, and restaurants nearby in Tahoe City. Surrounded by forest and close to year-round recreation, Honeymoon Cottage is a peaceful home base for exploring the best of North Lake Tahoe.
This is a dog-friendly house but in order to bring a dog, you must pay a $100 dog fee per dog, 2 dog maximum. If you bring a dog without paying the dog fee, you will be subject to a fine and are in breach of contract which could result in being asked to leave the property.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
• This is a dog-friendly house but in order to bring a dog, you must pay a $100 dog fee per dog, 2 dog maximum. If you bring a dog without paying the dog fee, you will be subject to a fine much greater than the pet fee.
• Additional Fees include cleaning fee, administration fee, and local Transient Occupancy Tax.
• Important, this property does not have air conditioning. Air conditioners are extremely unusual in North Lake Tahoe

• Like all of our homes, this property is VERY firmly non-smoking anywhere on the property lines.
• Please note that in the winter you will need 4-wheel drive and we always recommend you carry chains.
*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.
IMPORTANT:
On March 11th, 2022, the county of Placer implemented a new Short Term Rental Ordinance which is very important for guests to abide by. Fines range from $1,500- 5,000 and can be issued to guests who are not in compliance. A full list of rules is attached as a photo in this listing. Some Highlights include:
•Quiet hours are from 9 pm to 8 am. No noise shall be heard across property lines. No outdoor speakers or amplified sound are to be used at any time.
•Dogs must be leashed at all times when outside of a property and all pet waste needs to be picked up.
•Parking is limited to the following number of spaces: 3
POLICIES & DISCLOSURES
1. 2021 Update: Due to Extreme Fire Danger – The use of ANY outdoor firepit or fireplace is strictly prohibited at any of our rental properties. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to keep our community safe from wildfires.
2. As part of our commitment to being good neighbors, occupancy limits and quiet hours (9 pm - 8 am) are strictly enforced. No speakers or sound systems will be provided for use in our properties. Violation of any noise ordinances will be subject to fines that can reach up to $10,000 per violation.
3. By local laws we have to charge a 12% occupancy tax (10% TOT tax + 2% TBID tax) with every booking.

We really enjoyed our stay. Even pthough it’s called the honeymoon cottage, there’s plenty of room for a family of four the deck and the deck furniture was really nice for hanging out. The kitchen was very well equipped. The neighborhood was really convenient and close to amenities.

Very good. Bed spread had strong detergent, softener odor. But everything else was Great
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2023
We arrived with snow on ground on a dark evening to find a cozy, warm, clean and friendly cottage. We had hot cocoa and did a puzzle before sleep. It was a lovely weekend in December with my daughter and her best friend. The hot tub was warm and bubbly and everything ran smoothly. The next morning we took a short walk to the gorgeous lake, smiling the whole way. The neighborhood was quiet and we had everything we needed. We would definitely return to this lovely and cozy perfect cottage.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2025
Never used the hot tub as instructions around the cover were not clear and we didn't want to break the mechanism. They should update and replace the locking mechanism to be more robust and easy to use. Also, the location of the bathroom downstairs from the sleeping units is not ideal. The stairs are narrow and tricky to descend and trying to do this in the middle of the night is unsafe. They need a 1/2 bathroom upstairs. We could not get the TV to work with the various remotes and instructions provided. It was frustrating as we wanted to watch a football game and went to local restaurant to view. Location is outstanding with walking distance to very top notch restaurants and store.
