About this property

Olde Tahoe Charmer - Pet Friendly

**Fireplace is currently non-operational, we are working hard to replace it soon. Lodging at this 'Old Tahoe' charmer includes a large and comfortable kitchen, dining room and living room with a grand rock wood-burning fireplace. There is a large bedroom downstairs with a queen-sized bed and an attached half bathroom. At the top of the stairs is an open seating area with a futon bed and a cozy electric heater for winter or cold summer nights. This is an old cabin. The stairs are steep; you must use the handrail, and head clearance is low. The other two bedrooms are upstairs. The first guest bedroom is bright and airy with skylights in the ceiling; you can lay in the Double bed and look up at the Tahoe night ski. The third bedroom is a nice size with two twin-sized beds. The front entry is covered.There is a spacious well-maintained yard that is fully fenced and is connected to a nice sunny deck for relaxing and entertaining. The driveway is long so there is plenty of parking. Bring your well-mannered pet along, too(1 pet is welcome; additional pets must be approved by management, 2 max.). There is cable TV and Wifi, a washer/dryer. 2 cars maximum. Just minutes from Tahoe City, enjoy shopping, dining or the grocery store for your trip essentials. It is a short walk to several public beaches or pick up the nearby local bike trail. There is a meadow nearby and many trail systems to enjoy the outdoors. For our boating guests, this Lake Forest vacation rental cabin is close to a public boat launch near the Coast Guard station, and for winter activities, you are centrally located for a short drive to Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Homewood, Tahoe Nordic Center, and so much more.
*This is an older home with no updates.

All of our rentals come with fully equipped kitchens; most kitchens do not have pantry items due to wildlife concerns. We provide all linens and towels; most units also have beach towels. There is a washer and dryer in every rental. Every unit has Wi-Fi. There is NO A/C, this is not commonly found in Tahoe, there are fans. Deck and BBQ may not be available during winter months.

Cute cottage

This is a charming place to stay while at Lake Tahoe. Location is convenient to restaurants and shopping and very close to the lake. I loved it for a weekend get away and would stay there again.

Charm and a few challenges

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cottage has charm in its location, knotty pine, and gorgeous fireplace. Needs updates, deeper cleaning, and investment.

Nice cabin for small groups and dogs

We enjoyed our 4 day stay. Cabin is charming and somewhat rustic. Positives are a great backyard and porch for our dog, nice big fireplace (it was cold for August), comfy beds, and good layout. Cabin is a bit dated and dark, so could use some TLC. Would be even better with a better assortment of stemware and utensil's, but overall kitchen had all the amenities.

We had a great long weekend at the cottage - the location was at the end of a street in a friendly neighborhood. The nearby Skylandia Park is within walking distance and it was a huge highlight.

Perfect location

We had a wonderful 5 day stay here with our dog. The neighborhood is quiet with no traffic and paths to the beach. The proximity to Tahoe city was a huge bonus. Our dog loved the yard and we had a great time sitting in the sun on the deck. The house was cozy and had everything we needed. The management company was very responsive and check in was flawless. Overall a great experience in a beautiful location.

Great Location and Awesome Yard

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 great time at this home. We loved the lush, fenced back yard, a beautiful setting to come home to after a day spent hiking or at the beach. We also loved the open floor plan for the kitchen, dining and living area, it made preparing meals and socializing so enjoyable. The mattresses in the twin bedroom were super comfy. We also liked the location to the pet friendly beach at Glen Forest. It is in a quiet neighborhood with nice neighbors!

stairs are a death-trap

Everything was great about the stairs, which are a death trap. They are waaayyy too steep. Some of the stairs move and tilt when you step on them. They are wrapped in old carpet, which is uneven. They tried to put a grip strip on top of the carpet and hammered it in with nails. The nails are uncomfortable to walk on. The grip strip pulled my sock half off, which then tripped me, and I fell. My kid refused to walk on them out of fear. So, there was no way that he could sleep in the bedrooms upstairs and then find his way to the toilet downstairs in the middle of the night. So, we had to take a mattress from upstairs and put it down in the living room for him to sleep on. Other than the stairs, the house was fine but I could not recommend this place and would not stay here again.

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOUSE!! MOST UNHYGIENIC AND UNPROFESSIONAL HOUSE

Safety - backyard door lock is broken. It doesn’t look from inside. Main bathroom lock is also broken. Stairs are horrible to even walk. Heater only works in living room but no room has heater vent so its not at all livable situation for winter stays. 3 out of 4 Portable heaters stop working after some time. We couldn’t sleep at night at all because it was27 degrees Fahrenheit but heaters in the room were not working. We also didn’t feel safe at night since backyard door lock was broken from inside. This is a major major safety concern and should be taken seriously Towels are extremely dirty. Looks very much used and they are very rough. They are nowhere close to 6 months old. We don’t even feel like using them they are that old and stinky. This is major hygiene concern. How can a host provide unhygienic towels and vrbo allow it? Its beyond disgusting Bedding is very stinky as well. Pillow cases are extremely dirty and doesn’t look washed at all. Pillows are super old. Apart from this toiletries are missing. Body wash is missing. Shampoo conditioners are old. Diffuser in toilet, air fresheners are almost over so owner did not even bother to fill it up. Vrbo support is extremely useless helping with any of these issues. They basically didn’t even bother to raise a case and dismissed. Please don’t book this house or any house on Vrbo if you need good customer support

My Lake Tahoe experience at the Alef's quaint cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall my experience staying at the Alefs quaint cabin in olde Tahoe charmer was unpleasant and fearful. Arriving to the cabin, the first night walking up the front steps you'll have loose rocks/ gravel which is a huge safety hazard for guest. Walking into the cabin you'll get a sniff of cigarette smoke. Fireplace was non-operable even after being told it was going to be fixed and ready for our stay which was a huge disappointment and poor communication.! Also the cabin had Very lil amenities. Coffee machine was missing basket to pour coffee grains in. The quality of furniture was very worn out!! No central heater upstairs, the small heaters they provided gave no heat till hours after. One of the Rooms had a tiny mirror which made it hard to get ready. Property's location was great. Beach within walking distance. Property was not cleaned, tub had black debris, Shower drainage was also clogged you couldn't shower longer than 5 minutes or else tub would fill up major. On my vacation instead of relaxing I went out of my way and poured Drano gel max but still no fix. property has a nice backyard, but it's was hard to enjoy when there's no patio light. Overall, I think this cabin needs a little bit of loving and caring.

Mini Tahoe vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cute, cozy mountain cabin. Enjoyed the back deck having coffee in the a.m. and glass of wine in the evening. Our pups enjoyed the large backyard. Property was easy to find and close to town.Misses; cabin overall could use some T.L.C.The shower did not train properly and could use a good cleaning.Kitchen had ample dinnerware but could use some addition pots and pans baking sheets etc...Dining room table wobbled severely, should probably be repaired. Front entrance steps are crumbling and could use repair.Overall enjoyed our stay.
