About this property

Stunning high sierras and Lake Tahoe views!

ENJOY SPECTACULAR VIEWS of Lake Tahoe.
Relax gazing at the amazing cobalt blue lake and take in the special, spectacular west shore of Lake Tahoe. Away from it all.
The West Shore is the best shore.
**No gatherings or parties**
Relax at our 4 bedroom two bath home with gorgeous views of Lake Tahoe. Our house is your house, perfect for your family to spend time together! We have an open kitchen and living room area with two large decks overlooking the lake. The layout makes for a great place to relax. (We are NOT a party house, not the place for a large group)
6 maximum, including children.
We have new soft, quiet wall-to-wall carpeting throughout the home; comfortable beds (new king and queen beds!) all with down comforters and soft cotton sheets. Two story, with steep stairs, bring your baby gate if you have very young children.
LOCATION: Our house is in a quiet residential neighborhood where some residents live year-round. We are near the entrance to Meeks Bay Beach and Resort, open to public. We are above Emerald Bay Road/89, which is the only road that wraps around the entire lake. It hugs the shore of Lake Tahoe all the way around. NOTE: Most all of the homes here that are within walking distance of the lake and have a close lake view do experience some road noise from Emerald Bay Road due to the close proximity to the lake.
In the warm seasons, you can walk down the dirt trail which starts next to house, or drive, to the best white sand beach on the lake. Young children walk with adults since you need to cross over Emerald Bay Road to get down to Meeks Bay beach.
Right across the road is the beautiful new paved bicycle/walking/jogging trail that goes from Meeks Bay Beach and Resort all the way to Tahoe City. It’s wonderful!
(Note: we do not provide bikes, byo)
We are near the Sugar Pine Point state park and the entrance to Desolation wilderness trail.
In winter enjoy amazing snowy views from the living room and dining area. Nearby are ski/boarding/sledding resorts.
We always wish we could stay longer. This is truly a home you can settle into. We sure have...our father built the cabin in 1977 and it has been in our family ever since. We rent only to help us with maintenance and upkeep costs.
Our house is cleaned and sanitized using approved disinfectants over the entire residence.

Great Cabin! Great Hosts!

Monica and John are wonderful hosts. Each time we stay in their cabin, they respond to all of our needs. The TV didn't work. This was important to my partner. John drove all the way to Tahoe to fix the TV! Impressive! This cabin is a joy. When I enter and see the view, my heart is happy. I've come to Tahoe my entire life. For the past several years we've enjoyed this cabin. It's an important part of my life. Thank you for making this possible, Monica and John.

Loved it

After viewing many homes in the Lake Tahoe area i deceided to chose this one. I could not of made a better choice. The house was everything depicted in the add and the price was reasonable compared to others. The view from the deck is breathtaking and Iloved sitting by the fireplace. Unfortunately we had to leave 2 days early because of a large storm. 10 feet of snow and 90 mph winds and highways shut down. The host was exceptional and worked with us on a partial refund. I would highly recommend this house and if I ever go back to Lake Tahoe I would stay at the same location.

Another Fabulous Vacation!!!

I invited my family and partner to spend the week at Tahoe. I cannot say enough good things about the cabin; we have come back year after year. It is not only the location or the cabin that make this place special! The owners last year responded immediately when we had phone and plumbing problems. This year they replied instantly when I could not work the lockbox. They are Super Hosts in every way. I feel privileged to rent a most magical spot from lovely people. Thank you for making my life more special, due to staying at your Tahoe cabin each year.

What a view!

Very clean and hospitable. Great host to work with. Well equipped kitchen. Upstairs bed was very comfortable (we didn’t use the others) as was the living room furniture. Felt like someone was sharing their family home with us. Close enough to restaurants and shopping but away from the crowds. When Monica says lock your car doors and don’t leave food in them, that’s not a joke. We had a bear paw print in the dust on our car door ☺️ We had a great time!

We had a great time. Beautiful cabin with stunning views, lots of space for the family, and proximity to Homewood ski resort, Tahoe city, and Emerald Bay. We enjoyed skiing during the day and playing board games by the fire place at night. Great vacation. We’re grateful for the wonderful hospitality. We will be back.

The view cannot be beat. You can walk across the road and site on the shores of Lake Tahoe, you can choose between a sandy beach at Meeks bay or the stony shore of Sugar Pine state park.

I love VRBO! Have stayed at several. This property has wonderful hosts, on top of a fabulous vacation! I know the house and love it. We had a few hiccups and the owners fixed everything at a level that was more than to our satisfaction! They offered everything possible to make our stay great.

Everyone said it but I'll say it again - the view is spectacular! Nothing like walking out onto the deck and seeing that lake view. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Monica was very responsive. Recommend - especially if you have a family or a number of friends since there are so many beds.

Amazing location and property

Our stay here was one of the best vacations we ever experienced. From the moment we drove up we knew it was going to be great. The location is perfect! It is just far enough away from the traffic of Tahoe City and South Lake Tahoe, but close enough to groceries and activities. The beach across the street is great. We grilled out on the deck and enjoyed the view every night. The house lacked for nothing. We had everything that we needed. I definitely plan to book this property again.

About the host

Hosted by monica cranston

Host profile image
Our cabin has been in the family for years! My dad, Bill, bought the lot, which sits up on a hillside near beautiful Meeks Bay, in the mid-seventies after spending about 30 years vacationing every summer on the west shore of Lake Tahoe. He completed the cabin construction in 1977 and it has been in the family ever since.
Staying at the cabin will feel like home because it is a home. We want you to feel like it is your place to go to for relaxation and enjoyment of the spectacular Tahoe region.
We all try to go as much possible to enjoy all the seasons on the magical west shore. We rent out the cabin to help with the ownership costs. I worked for many years in higher education, and John is semi-retired. We raised two boys lucky enough to have many great childhood experiences at the cabin thanks to Grandpa Bill. They are both grown up now! Our house is your house!
Monica and John

Why they chose this property

if you want the feel of a real home, and not a hotel, cookie cutter condo, or a cold, sleek rental-only house, this IS the place for you. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. If you are looking for a non-party, no-late-night-noise area, you have found it. Top that off with the spectacular lake view that is everywhere, a great walk down to the white sand beach at Meeks Bay, and you have your ideal vacation.

What makes this property unique

You will love the view, which is inescapable from almost every room.
The majestic mountains are right there also, with Rubicon Peak looming up right outside off in the distance. Watch the weather changes over the entire lake from our cozy couch, or sitting on our decks. Walk from our neighborhood over to the paved trail that runs from our area all the way to Tahoe City!! Great for walks or bike rides.
Meeks Bay beach is one of the most beautiful white sand beaches in Tahoe. It is minutes from the cabin. Too busy hiking to go to beach today? In the late afternoon, enjoy a quick dip, your happy hour, and/or just quiet time down on the beach. (beach chairs provided) It is most beautiful early morning/late afternoon. Just you and the wild Canadian geese!
