About this cabin rental

The cutest, coziest cabin in all of Tahoe. Lovingly remodeled to preserve its 1940s charm, this two bedroom gem blends vintage character with modern comfort. Steps from Lakeside Beach, the rec center, pool, bowling, yoga and ice skating rink, it is a perfect home base for easy, family friendly Tahoe fun.

This home has comfortable sleeping & dining for a family of 4. Parking for 2 vehicles in the driveway. This applies 24/7.

Equipped with a beautifully updated kitchen, where mornings start with coffee on warm wood floors and evenings end around home-cooked meals. Granite counters and new appliances make cooking a pleasure, and the kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots, pans, and utensils so everything you need is right at your fingertips. Each bedroom feels like a cozy retreat, thoughtfully decorated with heavy pine furniture, soft quilts, and warm lighting that perfectly complements the cabin’s timeless mountain charm.

The backyard is perfect for Tahoe cookouts. Step outside to soak in the hot tub under the open sky, fire up the gas BBQ for an easy dinner, or gather around the outdoor table as the evening cools and the stars come out. On snowy winter mornings, the front porch is the perfect spot to sip a hot cup of coffee while fresh snow falls quietly around you, wrapping the cabin in a peaceful, storybook Tahoe scene. It’s the kind of space where mornings are slow and quiet, and nights end with relaxed conversations, warm water, and that unmistakable mountain calm.

The living room is made for cozy family nights after a day of Tahoe adventures. Gather around the gas fireplace insert, sink into the sofa or one of the comfy chairs, and unwind with a favorite movie or show on YouTubeTV. Log in to your own Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Sling, AppleTV+, or other streaming service, kick back, and enjoy relaxed evenings filled with warmth, laughter, and together time.

About the Area:
The home is located in one of South Lake Tahoe’s most charming and walkable historic neighborhoods, originally designed in the late 1920s. This quiet area blends classic Tahoe cabins with thoughtful remodels, offering a peaceful, local feel while still being close to beaches, dining, and year-round activities. A short walk away awaits Lakeside Beach, and Marina is an excellent spot for summer days, with a free concert series on Thursdays during the summer. There are numerous bike and S.U.P. rental locations near the beach. The bowling alley and the community golf course are both close by, making it easy to mix laid-back fun and outdoor recreation into your Tahoe stay. Walk to Safeway to grab all your groceries. Nearby Bijou Community Park adds even more outdoor fun with a BMX bike course, disc golf course, dog park, volleyball courts, open green space, and paved paths that are perfect for walking or biking. Stateline Casinos, Heavenly Mountain Resort, the gondola, and the shops and restaurants of Heavenly Village are all a short drive.

For longer stays, guests may wish to bring or purchase additional supplies and use the in-home laundry.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin is really nice and the folks at RNR were very flexible with my many date change request.The cabin wasn't super private with the RNR office right next to the cabin. Also, the beds were a bit uncomfortable. I guess that depends on what you like. All and all it was a good experience. I really liked relaxing and eating dinner on the back deck. I would recommend to other with the knowledge of the above statements.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stu and Diana's cabin was absolutely perfect and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Amazing location and a short drive to anywhere in South Lake (although most of the time we chose to walk to the lake as well as to the local restaurants they recommended). They cabin has a great back deck for grilling out and enjoying the hot tub, and had all of the necessary amenities you need for our stay. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back for sure!

    What we liked was that the cabin is located close to the lake, close to restaurants and shopping, yet in a very calm old neighborhood, where I could take the dog for a walk without being run over, as well as close to parks and open nature areas. The cabin is small, but perfectly accomodating for a weeks stay. It is also close to the ski-sport area!
