Get away from it all and come stay in this cozy Tahoma cabin for a relaxing Lake Tahoe vacation. Ideal for families, this rental is roomy, close to skiing, and within walking distance to the lake and in-town conveniences.

Located just over two miles from Homewood Mountain Resort, getting to the slopes in the winter will be a cinch. Likewise, in the summer, a short walk will get you to the shores of beautiful Lake Tahoe and to town. And you'll be just slightly over a mile from Sugar Pine Pointe State Park.

This home is all on one level, making it an excellent option for guests with mobility issues. Step inside this inviting cabin-style rental and feel right at home. Get comfy on the sofa next to a toasty fire, and get acquainted with the area's offerings via the free WiFi. Slip a movie into the DVD player or stream one on Netflix, and make good use of the large flat screen TV.

The open floor plan makes traffic flow and the possibilities for connection between you and your guests possible, even when you're in the well-equipped kitchen preparing hearty meals. Make all your favorites or try something new, then dine together at the large table for eight. In the summer, whip up a delicious barbecue meal on the gas grill on the deck, and savor your creation outside in your beautiful forested surroundings.

When it's time for sleep, you'll have plenty of options for a great night's sleep. The master bedroom has a queen-size mattress and private bathroom. The second bedroom also has a queen, and the third has four twin bunk beds, making it a great space for kids. There's also another full bath in the main hallway. And there's a washer and dryer in-house for your added convenience.

If you visit during the winter, access to skiing is made easy with Homewood Mountain Resort being just a little over two miles away. And if you want to branch out, world-renowned Squaw Valley Ski Resort and Alpine Meadows are about 15 miles away.

In the summer, let the kids ramble about in the back yard while you chill on the deck and let go of all the stress from everyday life. Take a leisurely bike ride on the bike path, which parallels W. Lake Blvd. for almost a half-mile, and soak up the sun. Hiking trails abound in the area, and Lake Tahoe is a short walk away where you can lounge and take in the grandeur of this stunning body of water.

Traditional Tahoma Cabin

Nothing fancy. Just a place to rest your head when you are in beautiful Lake tahoe. The door is sticky...Really sticky. It seems locked when it is just stuck. And the pans in the kitchen are terrible...but who goes on vacay to cook? Everything else worked fine and it was an easy space for my family of four to relax. We walked to the campground several times. It's a significant walk but doable. And there were screens. I have sweated all night in fancier cabins that mysteriously didn't have window screens, but we were able to open up and cool down at night. I would stay here again

quiet neighborhood centrally located not far from the lake.

Nice little place with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Could have used a serving of coffee for our first morning. We left a can of Folgers for the next folks so they don't have to worry about the morning pot of coffee :-) Other than that everything was great.

We like the patio deck/bBQ area ,location and quiet neighborhood . Refrigerator, stove, washer/dryer works perfect, boiler etc. We don’t like that the weather was a little bit hot and cabin gets hot inside and they don’t have AC or extra fans in the cabin ,also beds were uncomfortable. Light fixtures wasn’t working correctly and we found and they need to fumigate more often for small cocaraches we found some on the kitchen counter top .

Tahoe weekend

The home was as described, a cottage right near Lake Tahoe. The area is beautiful and within walking distance to the lake. We had rain and no internet the entire time that we were there, as well as a community-wide power outage, but we adapted and had a good time anyway

Did not go well

There were some concerning problems with this place. To start, we couldn’t get the oven or the stove top to turn on no matter what we tried. We also tried flipping the breaker just to see if that was the problem but had no luck. Our second problem was the lower bunk bed. It was concerning to see cardboard under all of the mattresses but on our last night staying there a box spring broke while someone was sleeping so there is a bed half on the ground. Third, the step up to the front door is actually terrifying, PLEASE don’t stay here if you can’t make it up the front step, it’s like a 2 foot jump. On top of that it was icy so we had multiple people fall from just that. You would think they would read these reviews and solve these problems but they also have yet to communicate with us. This place is nothing more than just a place to sleep, and we couldn’t even do that without having problems.

Had to leave early - internet problems

We had to leave this house early because we were working from ‘home’ and the internet was too poor for video conferencing, and too poor even to watch tv without frequent buffering. There were also periods where it didn’t work at all, despite perfect weather & reboots etc. We did a lot of research & speed tests, and over the course of a week, it just didn’t live up to the description in the posting nor the conversations we had with Vacasa before arriving. The saving grace is that Vacasa worked with us (to some degree) when we had to leave a whole week early. The other big issue with the house is that there is no front step to the one and only entrance. It is a GIANT step up onto the porch - literally higher than my knee. And upon arrival I had to use my axe to chip away the ice to even reach that big step. If you have mobility issues, this place is an absolute no-go. At least at the time of this review. Final beef - there was no shovel & no ash bin, and even after requesting it ASAP upon arrival & being told they’d bring us one, neither arrived during the week we were there. A bummer. There’s definitely a sense of ‘coasting’ with this unit. If you don’t need the internet, don’t watch tv or care if it’s frequently buffering, don’t have mobility issues, and are generally ok with a hands-off rough & tumble experience in an older pad, then this place may serve you well. It’s got 3 big bedrooms & a nice fireplace & is wonderfully close to Palisades & Alpone resorts.

Too Little for Too Much

We enjoyed our stay overall because Tahoe is incredible, but in 50+ years of summer vacations there, this cabin was disappointing. Old, outdated, Ill-equipped, unkempt. We spent the same amount last year for a much nicer, bigger cabin just up the street. A little money and TLC could do wonders!

Just Ok

We like the location, quiet neighborhood, not to bad of a drive to town. Very nice neighbors. The house it self needs to be attended to. The transition strip in kitchen need to have nails drove in more as the girls both stepped on them and hurt their feet, nothing that needed stitches or anything. One of the kitchen chairs was broken, and should have been taken out of house, instead of leaving at the table. The coffee pot looks like it was missing a piece, after the 3rd attempt we got it to kinda work. Back splash in kitchen needs to have the splashed food cleaned off. cupboards wiped down, as there was dried food on them. The front door was a very hard to open or close esp for the kids. Did notice that the bear mat in the front prob wasn't working as one of the wire was out of connector. Beds were ok, one of the bunk beds was terrible, I had to sleep in the room for one of my daughters was scared, felt like I was on a box spring. The other girls didn't say anything about their beds, but they are kids and can sleep anywhere. The rail on outside back porch needs attention as well not solid at all. The deck was borderline unusable made it hard to enjoy sitting outside. The gate was boarded closed, so to go into back yard had to go though house and around. Had very nice hot water for showers, and very nice towels. The outside shower curtain really needed to be cleaned. Found previous guest shoes under one of the beds. The home was simple and not fancy at all. We are not fancy people so it was ok, We like to camp and all that, but I was disappointed for the price I would expect the house to be updated a tad more. Would I stay there again, prob not unless it got some love. There was a TV with Roku, but you couldn't add a channel as it was block not having a pin. Roku needed to be put into guest mode.

Good forest setting, quiet neighborhood, basic house/cabin

It's an older place, not upgraded, which is fine with me--I wanted a simple, quiet place with a good setting and was very happy with it. The only heat in the living room/ kitchen area is a wood stove, which I elected not to take the time to use. Baseboard heaters in bedroom worked great. (It was cold after the sun went down.) Some maintenance is lacking but was not a problem to me. Cleanliness was as good as can be expected in an older place with older carpet.

Needs MAJOR TLC

Well, where to start? My initial thought is that the best thing about this house is the that the towels are thick, clean and luxurious!!!! The house was not very except for the inside of the fridge. There was hair in the shower and the shower smelled like musty urine. So bummed after a nice day of skiing and all you want to do is shower. Yuck! There were two glasses and plenty of mugs. No wine glasses to be found!! It seemed like nothing was ever replaced in this house since it was built. The burners did not work initially. We had to plug them in and fiddle with them to get them to work. I’ll stop there! The owners should know this and re-consider even renting this out to guest.

Stay in Tahoma

The house was big enough for 4 people but the front entry step is broken, the deck railing is broken, the coffee machine is broken (wrong thermos spills coffee all over counter) and the heater is broken... burr. When I called the property manager, she got upset with me why I did not tell her right away. I said I want my money back., or a serious discount. I booked through VRBO which is managed by VACASA. Neither is taking responsibility... the property manager I called in South Lake Tahoe replies, it’s not her place sorry she can’t help me. She gave me a hard time not telling her sooner the heater was not working... she did not understand we did not need the heater the first two days. Then it got cold... We were told check out was at 11 am, the housekeeper got here at 9:45 trying to barge in. She was mad because I was not out yet. They had three forks in the silverware drawer. That was the only thing they brought more while we were there. Now I will have to figure out how to get my money back The only good thing about this place were nice down comforters and clean towels. The TV’s are old, you can’t open windows at all... they block them shut....One window is greyed out in the living room. There are no blankets for the couch to stay warm on. The kitchen table is half way falling apart... This place is a complete fixer upper and whoever owns it should not be allowed to rent it out. Don’t get hurt there. This place begs for a lawsuit....

Dilapidated

If not for the busted window covered in duct tape the view of the trees would be fantastic. Paired with a shattered sliding glass door boarded up with plywood we could look out onto a back porch with access blocked off due to crumbling stairs to a patio that would have been nice to use. I'm okay with old and rustic but selling people on a vacation home in disrepair is irresponsible. We noticed something leaking in the master bathroom on our very last night. This home needs a lot of work before they can justify charging the price that they do. I'm glad Lake Tahoe is beautiful enough to outshine our stay in this crumbling home.

Waste of a vacation

This was the worse trip I've been on. Roads were closed, 10hr delays. Didn't arrive till early the next morning. Driveway was not plowed leaving myself and my family to shovel driveway at 330 in the morning. We came in to a cold and dark cabin. When trying to reach owners, took hours to get back with answers. I felt they could of accommodated us with other options rather than loose out on money. I will not be returning to this property in the future.

Our family loved it!

Some people would say it's out dated, but we loved it. We would and will stay again. Very cozy, comfy and the rooms are a good size. It has all the basic needs to cover a large family Inc. A washer and dryer. It was clean and the price fit great into our tight budget. Plenty of out door space for the children to run around outside with out going on to other properties.
