About this property

Tucked Away Cabin w/Amazing Views and Pool Table

You'll truly enjoy staying at our cabin in Strawberry right off of Highway 50 behind the historic Strawberry Lodge. Whether you've come for winter fun, or to enjoy the beauty of the summer months, you are sure to find this cabin and Strawberry the perfect place for a get away. The South Fork of the American River is just steps away. Lover's Leap is a short walk. Sierra at Tahoe is 6 miles up the highway. And of course ALL of the lakes of the Tahoe area are a short drive up Highway 50.

- High Speed Wi-Fi (perfect for remote workers)
- Discounts for 7 day+ stays (enter dates in calendar to see the discount)

A car is a must in Strawberry, however there are several things that you can do just steps from the cabin. The cabin is located along the Pony Express Route. Lover's Leap, Monk's Rock and Slippery Ford are all along the Pony Express Trail. Most of the other hikes in the area will require a car to get to the trail heads. But enjoying the American River is just steps from the cabin.

Great location for Sierra weekend

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. Plenty of space for our family and a really cozy night in front of the fireplace. The pool table and pacman games were big hits. After our short drive to Sierra for skiing, the kids loved breaking ice in the stream and walking through the woods. Loved this location.

Fun with Hiking

Myself and friends used this house as basecamp for day hikes into Desolation Wilderness and couldn't have been more pleased. The weather was cold but the house was warm and clean when we checked in and the fireplace fully stocked. I'm sure we'll be returning.

Fun stay!

What a delightful cabin! Our little ones had a ton of fun with the loft above the master bedroom using it as their base of operations for all sorts of imaginative play. The cabin's living room is also stocked with board games, not to mention the game room downstairs. Instructions for the house were clear and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook (bring your own oil/butter or buy it from the Strawberry General Store across Hwy-50). Bonus points for the very short drive to Sierra-at-Tahoe for our skiing excursions. Really couldn't have asked for more!

Great Retreat!!!

We had a great stay at the cabin. It was a cozy, unplugged weekend of family time, with lots of fires, books, movies, and games. Our kids stayed entertained by the basement diversions and cabinets of toys and games. We loved the library! And the beds were incredibly comfy. This was a fantastic place and we look forward to returning!

Great getaway place

We stayed here with another family friend & kids in May and really enjoyed the peaceful getaway in the mountains. Check In instruction was very clear and Jobi was really great at communication. The beds were really comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and had all the condiments. We especially loved the extra entertainment room with the pool table and games. And it was nice to be able to hear the water flowing by from the nearby river when you open the windows. Would love to stay here again!

Week in the mountains

Cabin was a great home base for exploring local trails, short trip to Tahoe to be a tourist. Cabin kitchen was stocked better than we expected. Family enjoys cooking for each other and we didn't lack a thing. Even a pizza stone for pizza night. Books, games, tv, when relaxing at the cabin. Access to mountain biking, hiking, lakes, exploring. Everyone had a wonderful stay.

Cozy cabin in Strawberry

This cabin checked all our boxes for a quick snowboarding getaway. Clean, spacious, and just a short drive to the resort. They even provided sleds for us to enjoy with the fresh powder! We enjoyed the little touches of decor that reminded us we were in the cute town of Strawberry. Also there was a convenience store just down the street for extra snacks and goodies. Jobie was a wonderful host and easy to keep in contact with. The neighbors that we met were all very friendly as well. Highly recommend this cabin to others!

Deep Nature Experience

We took our two teens up to visit Grandma and to ski at Sierra-at-Tahoe. Resort is only 10m away and easy to access. Lake Tahoe and Myers are a short drive and have a lot of restaurants. Countless hikes available. Very close to the river. You can walk to the general store. Cabin has everything you need and some things you didnt know you needed (like pac man). Cooked two meals in kitchen had everything we needed. We had massive snow during our trip and they do a great job of clearing the highway. There is nothing like sitting in the tree swing and listening to the snow fall. The host was very easy to chat with and had a lot of great recommendations. I would definitely recommend this cabin to others and would love to stay there again in the future.

Ski Weekend Getaway

My family and I stayed here to celebrate my daughter's birthday and spend the weekend skiing with friends nearby at Sierra-at-Tahoe. The cabin is a great location for skiing at Sierra, and the non-skiers in our group had a good time just chilling at the cabin enjoying amenities like the well-stocked bookshelf and the pool table and Pac Man machine. It was a bummer the great views were blocked by the massive amounts of snow piled up on the front deck, but hey at least it's good for skiing. My younger daughter also loved playing with all of the kids' toys in the cabinet in the TV room. I imagine this place is awesome in the summer too with all of the nice outside seating areas.

Perfect family cabin away from the South Lake bustle

We had a really good time at Jobie's cabin over President's Day weekend. It's perfectly tucked away in Strawberry, away from the busyness of South Lake and conveniently located near Sierra at Tahoe. The cabin is perfect for families. There were lots of toys, comfortable beds, clean, and obvious that a lot of love and care goes into this family cabin. (Kids loved all the bear decor too) The upstairs attic area with the bed was a fun area for the kids to go up to but requires a watchful eye to make sure they are being careful on the ladder / stairs. The large front yard was perfect for the little ones to play in the snow - really spacious and allowed us to just go outside to play rather than find a snow park. Jobie was very communicative and accommodating as a host as well. I would come back in a heartbeat in the future for another family getaway. Thanks!

Great cabin in the woods, responsive owners

This house is very nice! It is tucked away from the road up against the mountain which made it feel very private. The outdoor deck area was absolutely lovely on a summer day. Only downside is the noise from Rt 50, which is close. The location was great for getting to hiking spots (Lover's Leap, Pyramid Creek, Echo Lakes) and not too far to South Tahoe. If you want to ski, Sierra at Tahoe is about 10 minutes up the road. Jobie was super responsive to our questions and provided a lot of good information in the welcome book. The river nearby was fun for the kids to wade in (still running in early September but not too much to be dangerous.) The kitchen was very well equipped with nice pots and pans, spices, etc. and the pans were in better shape and cleaner than many rentals we have visited. The kitchen is small but very functional with good appliances. We had 6 people (2 adults and 4 tweens/teens) and easily had enough beds and room. Layout is: small bunk room on the main floor with a twin over full. Top floor has a large king bedroom with a loft area with a full size bed. The steps up to the loft are steep so may not be great for very little ones. Second bedroom on the top floor has a queen bed. There is a bathroom between those two bedrooms and another on the main floor. In addition there is a pull out couch on the main level in a tv room where the doors can be closed and a futon bed on the bottom floor. So, plenty of beds. Our family really enjoyed the pool table / game room on the bottom floor. Nice conveniences like phone chargers in each bedroom, flashlights, books, games, movies and even a Playstation with games in the game room. Only inconvenience is that you must take your trash with you. The lodge at the and of the road charged $3 per bag to put in their dumpster. All in all this is a great rental in a convenient location and we look forward to hopefully returning in the winter time.

About the host

Hosted by Jobie Taber

Host profile image
Our family lives in California. We are a family of five that loves the beach, but the mountains hold a special place in our hearts. Nothing beats being surrounded by tall trees, mountains and the only sounds you hear are birds and the rush of the river. My husband grew up near Sacramento, California and I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. Both of us love to be out in nature- especially the mountains.

Why they chose this property

Want to get away and relax? This is the place. My husband's grandparents built this place, and now we are the third generation in the family to own this cabin. It holds a special place in our hearts!! My husband grew up coming here as a child and now we bring our kids here. It's one of our favorite vacation spots. Often times, their cousins and aunt and uncle come and join us- lots of space for more than just one family. We hope you will enjoy it as much as us and want to come again and again.
The cabin sits nestled up against the mountain side and surrounded by tall evergreens. Scrub jays are often seen on our deck and occasionally you'll see a black bear in the yard. If you do, give them space. Just be aware that they are in the neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

The cabin sits along the Pony Express Trail and Lover's Leap, a favorite amongst rock climbers, is just a short walk from the door. The South Fork of the American River is across the street and you can hear it from the deck. Sierra at Tahoe is 6 miles down Highway 50. Echo Lake, a favorite of ours is 10 miles down Highway 50 and a beautiful 5 mile round trip hike. The cabin is located behind historic Strawberry Lodge. You can enjoy a meal there or a drink at the bar. Our family enjoys ice cream cones there after dinner in the summer time. They also have an amazing fireplace to keep you warm in the winter. The Strawberry Station General Store is right across the highway. Be sure to check it out- they have ski and snowboard rentals along with snowshoes and climbing gear. You can grab any essentials that you might have forgotten- milk, eggs, soda, beer, snacks and a small Espresso bar.
