Great quiet location

Loved the location as it is close to trails, the lake and Tahoe City. After a full day of activities, relaxing on the deck with no mosquitoes was wonderful. The wifi service exceeded expectations. Cute, cozy cabin perfect for getting away.

Cabin in the woods

Overall this place was great. It is truly a cabin in the woods! We saw a bear in the driveway on the first night and still felt very safe. We had a question for the host after we arrived and they were quick to respond. We'll stay again

A Very Nice Getaway

We absolutely loved this house and the location. We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub after a long day of hiking. We felt very comfortable and safe. We appreciated all the amenities this house offered such as the wash and dryer and dish washer. It was hot while we stayed in Tahoe but the cabin stays nice and cool.

Home far away from home experience

I loved every bit of the cabin, pretty much Everything that you needed was provided by vacasa, except food and drinks but that's obvious, really quiet neighborhood and the neighbors are all friendly when you go out for walks. We happened to see a bear in the middle of the night from the second floor patio which was a really cool experience. Definitely will go back again

Falsely Advertised - Read Before Booking

Walking into this rental, we immediately knew something was wrong. It was freezing inside—easily near or below freezing—and we quickly started searching for the thermostat or furnace to warm up the space. That’s when the reality set in: the central heating was either broken or had been removed entirely. Instead, we found space heaters scattered near several outlets, giving us a moment of hope—until none of them turned on.Realizing we had a real problem, I reached out to Vacasa (the management company VRBO subcontracted to), only to be told that the “heating” advertised for the property referred to… the fireplace. The same fireplace that (1) had no firewood provided, (2) was never listed as the primary heat source, and (3) was expected to keep an entire house warm in the middle of a Tahoe winter.As we explored further, things didn’t improve. The upstairs sink was completely clogged and wouldn’t drain, and the hot tub—the main reason we chose this rental—was broken. We had no choice but to abandon ship and scramble for alternative lodging.After back-and-forth negotiations with both VRBO and Vacasa, we were able to secure a full refund. However, the entire experience was frustrating, inconvenient, and easily avoidable had the listing been transparent about the heating situation and working condition of the amenities.If you’re considering, consider only warm weather stays. This could have easily turned into a nightmare trip, and I hope others can avoid the same frustration.

Charming rustic cabin, with a few issues

Note: This review is specific to a winter trip.This is a charming rustic cabin in a Tahoma neighborhood. Great central west shore location with very easy access to Homewood, Palisades, and Tahoe City. Cozy and romantic for a couple, and ample room for 4 people. Would not recommend more than that in winter, as described below.Emphasizing RUSTIC, because in winter time this cabin has some limitations.First, we were really drawn to the listing's feature of a wood burning fireplace. Which worked great, BUT they do not provide firewood. There was no mention of this in the listing or pre-arrival instructions, so we were caught unprepared and couldnt use the fireplace on the first night. Total bummer, especially considering it was sub-20F(-6C). Second, there is only one wall heater, and no way to control the temp. It does an adequate job of heating the first floor, but not so great on the second floor, where two of the three bedrooms are. The bedroom with the two single beds is in a room with a full wall of windows, so it was VERY cold. ie, would not recommend using this as a bedroom in the winter if it's really cold. To accommodate for this, they provide space heaters in every room, but the electric in the house is really old. We blew a fuse on the first night, which caused the internet to go down.To their credit, property manager sent someone next day. He also couldnt figure out temp control on the wall heater, but electric was sorted.Otherwise, nice place.
