A great place to stay

The house was well appointed, very comfortable, and in a location with lovely forest views. Conveniently located, yet serene and secluded. Everyone in our party said it's the best Tahoe ski vacation rental we've ever done.

Lovely mountain home

This mountain home is beautiful. Location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. It is within walking distance to restaurants, hiking/biking tails, parks (for kids) and the beach. Kitchen is well stocked. Comfortably slept our party of 8. Thank you for hosting us! We look forward to staying here again.

Wonderful Stay For The Family

We had such a great stay over the Labor Day weekend at Leslie and Tim’s place. It is a beautiful house in a quiet neighborhood located right next to the forest. It is well equipped for adults and teenagers. We hiked, played ping pong, went in the hot tub, and just enjoyed some great family time together. Highly recommended by a family that loves to travel and has stayed in many rentals over the years. One suggestion that we thought of to improve the experience even more would be getting more bicycles (we only saw 1 next to the garage). That way families can go biking together during their visit. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home with us Leslie and Tim!

About the host

Hosted by Leslie Smith

Host profile image
Tim and Leslie are retired teachers who reside in the Willow Wood Cottage for most of the year. We like to travel and have grandchildren in Colorado so have opened it up to guests when we aren't at home. We think this gives guests a more authentic Tahoe experience with all the amenities one would expect from a home that is lived in and not just a short-term rental.

We have lived on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe since 2010, but before that we lived nearby in the Sierra Foothills. With our three children we frequented the Tahoe area in all seasons for boating, biking, skiing, camping and enjoying the mountains. Both of us came to Tahoe as children with our families, and Tim spent a ski season here after college. We continue to ski, bike, paddle, and hike and our adult children and grandchildren spend as much time as they can here. Tahoe, in general, and this cottage holds special memories for us all.

Why they chose this property

We live in a quiet neighborhood with a mix of full and part time residents. We love the location- not too far from town, close to the amenities of Tahoe Park, and close to the lake.

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique in that is is located at the end of a narrow lane and backs onto a large piece of Forest Service property. It offers beautiful views in all seasons, wildlife viewing, easy hiking, biking, and x-country skiing/snowshoeing out the back door. A short walk through the woods or down the street takes you to the beach at Hurricane Bay.
