Alpine Meadows Cabin in the Woods

There's nothing more refreshing and quintessential Tahoe than a cozy getaway in an A-frame cabin. Whether you're traveling in summer or winter, this four bedrooms and two and a half bathroom that sleeps eight is a rare find and meets the mark on all things alpine.

Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, backed up to Bear Creek, this secluded three-level A-frame offers an open floor plan for the living, dining, and kitchen area. Start your morning on the sprawling deck, gazing out at forest service land will provide you with a tranquil place to start your day. If you are looking to get out and explore, you are a short walk from the Five Lakes trailhead and just one mile from Alpine Meadows Ski Resort. In the evenings fire up the woodstove, and enjoy gathering in the first-floor great room. The tranquility, charm, and unique style certainly make for a great Tahoe getaway location.

The expansive floor to ceiling windows, its long farm-style dining table, wood stove, spiral iron staircase, and vintage craftsmanship evoke the feel of a Tyrolean lodge. What it lacks in a dishwasher, it certainly makes up for in tranquility and charm. Before you book Alpine Meadows Cabin in the Woods, be sure to pack your slippers. We're plenty stocked with firewood and coffee cups.

The mountaineer shuttle will pick you up at this location and drop you off at Alpine Meadows during ski season.

The whole group loved staying at this fun A Frame house. The staircase to the top floor was a fun way to get to bed. The house was stocked with everything we needed and the creek near by was a nice backdrop to listen to. Can't wait to come back.

Decent option close to Alpine Meadows
We stayed at this property in February 2023 - two families with four adults and four teens. We had no issues checking in but the path to the house was completely iced over when we arrived, creating a major slipping hazard for us getting our luggage and gear into the house. We would have appreciated if the path had been cleared in advance. The house itself was fine - functional but quite dated. The kitchen and laundry area could use an upgrade - the appliances and cabinets are old and worn out. The living and dining area are spacious and have some interesting antiques. Probably the best part of the house. The bedrooms and bathrooms are quite small. We felt cramped in them. On the whole we were underwhelmed considering all the positive reviews.

Great location
The property is well situated. We went there for a bit of a snow experience with our family. Unfortunately our stay was cut short on account of an upcoming storm but we enjoyed a day of sledding in the backyard and some quiet time in this rustic A-frame.

Thanksgiving adventures in the picture perfect cottage
We had a wonderful stay at this enchanted cabin in the woods. We spent thanksgiving weekend here and it really was the perfect backdrop to bring our family tougher. We Enjoyed making fire every night. The host provided little branches and dry wood to burn, which made it very easy to make fire from scratch. Overall it was a great experience: Warm, clean, cozy home. Ps: the pillow in the downstairs bedroom is sent from heaven! It’s so soft and squishy, never slept so soundly 🤗🤗

A frame for large gathering
This property is very much a cabin. Nothing fancy and somewhat dated. But large table and large deck with lots of beds, bedrooms/bathrooms make it a great choice for a large group. Master bed and pillows the best ever for a rental. Appreciated the washer/dryer after hiking. And the Tahoe hiking trails book. Nice quiet locale. View off deck very nice. Yes, you can see the mountains, after a fashion Clearly managed by a company. So I missed the personal contacts and touches. I. E. No book with recommendations for food, groceries etc. no shampoo, conditioner, so bring your own. Also, due to bears, other than salt and pepper, the house has no food/staples (flour, sugar, coffee) so bring what you need.

Overall good place for a short getaway
This cabin is beautiful and cozy, and great for a short stay! We loved the fire place and the floor to ceiling windows. It would have been a lot nicer if there were furniture out on the terrace so enjoy some meals out there. Some of the lights were also out and we had to search for light bulbs, the house could use some additional lights for sure. Thank you!

Fun Family House
A perfectly comfortable older cabin with many interesting antiques (but sadly with no information about them). The circular stairway was scary for parents of young children, but the kids didn't mind. Kids had fun inside and out. Very enjoyable for our three-generation family. We would recommend it to friends.

Incredible A Frame
We had a fantastic family ski weekend in this one of a kind A Frame home. Close to Alpine (our absolute favorite mountain) and with a backyard full of snow for sledding and snowball fights. Our daughters were in heaven and so was my husband with the wood burning stove and cabin- vibes. We will be back for sure.
