This charming 3-bedroom cabin overlooks Lake Tahoe and features open-shared living space and private bedrooms, perfect for groups of friends and family to enjoy. You will love the incredible views of the lake from the soaring windows or large private deck. The home is just a short drive to 3 major ski resorts in Tahoe, and an easy walk to an endless network of national forest trails. This home is the perfect cabin retreat to enjoy all that Tahoe has to offer year-round!

The space
As you enter this three-bedroom cabin you will be greeted by a space filled with charming cabin decor, high ceilings with exposed wood beams, and soaring windows providing stunning views over Lake Tahoe. An added bonus is the cabin is east facing which means the home is in the prime location for some amazing sunrise views over the lake!

When you arrive at the home you will first come to the open-space shared living area where you will find the living room, dining area, and kitchen all connected. Guests will first enter the living room where you will find two couches to relax on as you warm up by the large gas fireplace situated in an impressive stone hearth. Grill (Available during the summer months)

During the day enjoy the gorgeous views out the soaring windows in this space, and by night relax by the fire as you watch a movie on the 55” smart TV with your group. If you need additional sleeping space one of the living room couches can be pulled out to a comfortable queen-size bed.

Adjacent to the living room is the dining area where you will find a wooden dining table with chairs and bench seating for 8. The dining table sits next to the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake providing a stunning view to enjoy while you eat. From the living/dining area, you can access the large private deck through sliding glass doors. Take in the breathtaking views over Lake Tahoe and the surrounding trees from the deck, this space will quickly become a favorite hangout spot for your group! Dine al fresco at the patio table with seating for 6, or prepare a meal on the propane bbq. And be sure to wake up early enough at least once to take in the sunrise over the lake from the deck, it will be more than worth the early wakeup call!

Back inside you will find the kitchen connected to the dining area where the chef in your group will find all the basic cookware needed to prepare a meal for the group. The spacious and open kitchen is fully equipped and features stainless steel appliances, spacious granite counters, and an over-the-sink window with views over the surrounding forest. On the other side of the kitchen is a laundry room where guests will have access to a stacked washer and dryer making it convenient to do laundry while on vacation.

When you are ready to settle in for the night you will find two of the three bedrooms located on the main floor down a hallway from the shared spaces. The first bedroom features two twin beds with a dresser, two lamps, and a long bedside table to store personal items. Directly across from this bedroom is the second bedroom where you will find a comfortable queen-size bed, two nightstands with lamps, and a large dresser offering ample storage space for guest use. Conveniently located near the two bedrooms is a full bathroom which includes a single-sink vanity with spacious under-the-sink storage, and a shower/bathtub combo.

To reach the third bedroom of the home head up to the loft area where you will find the spacious master bedroom featuring soaring ceilings and gorgeous exposed wood beams. This bedroom boasts a king-size bed, matching nightstands with lamps, a comfortable sofa underneath the window, and a large dresser with a 55” TV on top. The master bedroom also features an ensuite bathroom where you will find a single-sink vanity and a shower so you can clean up before settling in for the night.

For those who like to mix work and play you will find a small office space in the loft overlooking the main level shared space with a great view of the lake.
