The Ref-Nest is located in the highly desirable neighborhood of Chambers Landing on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe, just past Homewood and Homewood Ski Resort. With six bedrooms and three bathrooms, this spacious, one of a kind home sleeps 16!

Custom built by owner/contractor, you’ll have 4000 square feet of space in this cabin, designed with large family gatherings in mind. The expansive great room features a large river rock wood-burning fireplace, comfortable furnishings for TV viewing, reading, and table games. Wi-Fi keeps you connected. Off the great room, the outdoor deck features a gas grill and is a fantastic place for summer dining, bird watching, or sunbathing.

The fully equipped modern kitchen features a large island with granite countertops and seating for six, a dining table that accommodates ten, and abundant cabinet space including a pantry.

The master suite with king bed has plenty of room for additional young children and a full bathroom next door. All the above are on the entry level of the home.
The downstairs includes five bedrooms: one king, two queen bedrooms, and two bunkrooms with four beds each. One bunkroom has a game area with TV and foosball. There are two full bathrooms, a common vanity with double sinks, and a washer and dryer. An exterior door leads to the beautifully landscaped backyard.
In winter, the driveway accommodates four cars. In the summer, you may also park on the street and the side of the house. The garage is available when the ping-pong table is not in use.

In summer months, the cabin is a short walk to our 'members only' private beach at Chambers Landing, known for its pristine views of Lake Tahoe. Visitors can also enjoy the public sandy beach and historic restaurant, bar, and pier at Chambers Landing. Transportation is made easy by catching a ride on the shuttle service.

Your home away from home is close to Meeks Bay, with a terrific sandy beach and paddleboard and boat rentals. Located on National Forest Land, the Meeks Bay shoreline is popular for its beautiful scenery, clean beaches, and easy access. The area offers a high concentration of recreation opportunities including swimming, biking, boating and hiking into the nearby Desolation Wilderness.

You won’t want to miss the icon of Lake Tahoe, Emerald Bay, a short drive away. Emerald Bay State Park boasts 360-degree picturesque views that encompass Emerald Bay, Fannette Island, Eagle Falls, and Vikingsholm Castle.
Just a few miles down the road you’ll find Homewood, Alpine Meadows, and Squaw Valley Ski Resorts. The Magical West Shore has great options for whatever you fancy: snowshoeing, snowboarding, downhill or cross-country skiing, sledding, and more!
Interested dining options? We recommend the Fire Sign Cafe for breakfast and lunch. The local market is convenient for a quick stop and West Shore Pizza is sure to please.
To experience all the gambling and nightlife that the Lake Tahoe offers, South Lake Tahoe/Stateline is about a 30-minute drive.

Beautiful, clean cabin in a great location

This place was absolutely perfect for our stay with some of our friends. We lucked out with snow right before our trip, and the kids loved playing with the snow in the yard. The kitchen was well stocked, and everything was very clean and well-maintained. All directions were clear. We would love to come stay here again.

Stocked kitchen & prompt communication

What stood out about this house was the large kitchen with an island and the many appliances available along with a full drawer of spices. Travel insurance is required with booking which does throw off the cost estimate so be aware of that when booking. I appreciated the team's prompt communication prior to the trip as well as during the trip especially when we requested a late check-out.

Another great stay at the Ref-Nest

This was our 3rd stay at this very family-comfortable home. We love the location and that there is so much room for a large group to spread out. Even with the need to repair or replace the sofa and some other deferred maintenance, I would still recommend this property.

Our family has vacationed on the West Shore for the past 10 years. This was our first year renting this property and I can assure you it will not be our last. The property far exceeded our expectations. It is designed beautifully and large enough to accommodate a large group comfortably. Lots of bedrooms, bathrooms, a great room and a gorgeous deck. We all enjoyed cooking and eating in the beautiful kitchen. The owners are great to work with and were very helpful before and during our stay. After our first day at the property our family had already committed to renting it again next year!

Great deck and backyard for outdoor lounging. Had issues with cell connection and a representative drove to the house to ensure we got in - much appreciated. Lots of bear activity so enjoy the experience but heed the precautions.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had an amazing time staying at Ref-Nest. The place was big enough to accommodate our whole group. Super close to Homewood Ski Resort and only a 30 minute drive to Palisades Ski Resort. The place was super clean, owner was quick to respond and would totally recommend to anyone in the future. Would have loved if the fooseball table had the ball but alas, great stay all in all.

Spacious home, lovely amenities, fantastic location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely time at Ref-Nest. Everything was clean and tidy and very comfortable. It was just 5 minutes away from skiing at Homewood. Lots of great amenities such as a high chair, pack n play, gates for all of the stairs, and 1000 piece puzzles. Only suggestion I would make would be to update the sofa bed downstairs. First Accommodations was also incredibly helpful and compassionate when one of our cars broke down and we had to have a late check out.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cabin was absolutely perfect for our large group with young kids! There was so much space for everybody to play, relax, and enjoy time together. Yet plenty of bedrooms for everyone to retreat to. Everything was clean, organized, and inviting. We were especially grateful for the two coffee machines, so that there would be enough coffee for everyone in the morning at once. The house itself is absolutely beautiful and unique. The rental company was responsive and accommodating, and we would definitely come back here again with our friends or family!
