About this property

Peaceful little chalet tucked in to the Highland Woods

This is a vacation rental of an entire cabin and not a hosted or shared space or bed-and-breakfast. Fully outfitted kitchen, laundry room. Linens and towels provided. Cabin shares common yard and it is not fenced in.

There are 3 bedrooms with 3 queen beds and two single futons.
There is one dedicated parking space and Guest spaces. Street parking is good.
Quiet hours are between 10:00pm and 8:00am.
Check in/out times are 4:00pm/11:00am.
Please inquire about pets. No cats please. Please clean up after your doggie outside and keep them off the beds, comforters, and throws.

The cabin was remodeled from its 1976 origins in 2012 so gone is that beloved 70's paneling and the extra walls so the whole kitchen - dining - living area flow together; with the original open beam ceiling it has a comfy spacious feel to it. This living area has the deck off of it and it has wonderful southern exposure so there it is light and bright all day long. The view of the Carson Range near Heavenly and the grassy green lawn make this a nice little peaceful refuge.

The space of the house is nicely laid out and it utilizes it well. First floor has full size bedroom with roomy closet and queen bed, full bath and laundry room you can use. Second floor has a 'cozy' bedroom with a pretty ponderosa pine outside its window (queen bed), plus the large bedroom with the same view of the mountains as from the deck. This bedroom has a queen bed and two single futons. The second floor has the vaulted chalet ceiling, and there is another bath with shower.

Kitchen has appliances that includes a gas stove (instead of electric!) and, mercifully, a dishwasher. With the granite counter tops and island, plus all the cooking gear and plates you'll need you can get to work cooking up a storm in there should you desire.

There are a couple of bar stools at the island, and the dining table has a leaf so you can expand it to seat 8.

Living room has new efficient wood stove, 46 inch LCD HDTV and DVD player, and some comfortable seating - better than we have at home!

All the bedrooms have clothes closets and new high quality, non-toxic mattresses made in the US.

The big bedroom has a small (32 x 48') Foosball/multi game table and a 37 inch LCD HDTV.

The TV's have Roku devices and we have a subscription to YouTubeTV that includes sports and local channels.

What we have in the cabin:

The cabin has a refrigerator, gas stove, dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, rice cooker, blender, coffee maker with filters, coffee grinder, a standard set of pots and pans, dishes, food containers, mugs and glasses. Washer, dryer, hair dryer in each bathroom, iron and small ironing board in the laundry room.

One set of bed linens per bed, four pillows per bed, one bath and one hand towel per guest. Also in the closet are deck loungers and chairs.

Deck / Patio:
A couple of lounges, some armchairs, collapsible 'beach' chairs.

Outdoor Grill:
Weber One Touch Gold 22.5 Inch Charcoal Grill and grilling tools.

Location:

Great central location in a beautiful quiet neighborhood. No ugly power lines! Just up the street you can walk or ski into the Upper Truckee Marsh Conservancy area and make your way to the lake or the Tahoe Keys.

Located 2 miles from the 'Y' (US 50 and 89 - many stores and Raleys supermarket) and 4 miles from Stateline (Casinos).

The South Lake Tahoe Bike Path passes through here a few blocks away. Its about a 10 minute bike ride to go 2 miles up to Regan Beach.

The great City of South Lake Tahoe Recreation complex is a few miles away and has a swimming pool, basketball courts and weight room.

The Bijou Community Park is near the recreation center located on Al Tahoe Blvd, and it has a Free Frisbee Golf Course, skateboard park, and many other features.

Nearby also is the year round South Lake Tahoe Ice Arena. Its 4 miles to Heavenly Ski Area. 5 miles to Camp Richardson. 5 miles to Stateline.

Just perfect!

It was our first time in Tahoe and I couldn’t have been more delighted with the experience. The accommodations were perfect for our family of 4 and we loved the beautiful trail we discovered within walking distance of the house. We will definitely be back!

Cozy little cabin

This cozy cottage is in a group of several like cottages at the end of a cul-de-sac on the lake side of Lake Tahoe Blvd in South Lake Tahoe. It's in a quiet residential neighborhood a couple miles from the casinos and Heavenly. Everything was super clean and in great working condition. Operating the TV was a bit of a challenge, but we are not the most tech-savvy and were able to figure it out. The house is classic Tahoe in structure and decor, with lots of blankets, a wood burning firecplace that was easy to operate (get wood), and a cozy feel perfect for resting sore ski legs and getting a great night's sleep. Highly recommend this place.

Peaceful Holiday in Tahoe.

The location was great for skiing. Kitchen was small but well appointed - I cooked a beef Wellington for Christmas dinner. Loved the little touches like the welcome basket, cozy throws for lounging, lighted Christmas tree, and glasses in the freezer for beer. We also loved spending time by the cozy wood stove.

Great time at a great place in a great location.

Stayed 3 nights during epic snow conditions. The place was clean and inviting. The property met our needs and exceeded our expectations. It is located about 10 minutes from heavenly ski resort (probably closer but took us a bit longer due to all the snow this particular weekend). The casinos at State line are also close by. There is a variety of stores and restaurants close by as well. Peter was our point of contact for this property and was friendly and provided great instructions for the place. Overall we had a great time and will try to book this place again for our next visit to South Lake Tahoe. Thank you!

Wonderful, cozy, quaint, remodeled cabin

We had a fantastic stay at this little cabin! It was the perfect winter cabin for our skiing adventures at Sierra at Tahoe (35 minute drive when there’s no traffic). The unit was well stocked, warm, and included very cute decorations like you’d think a “cabin in the woods” should have. Excellent directions and communication from the owner, and everything was clean and well organized inside the unit. All of the pictures and descriptions were accurate as well. Thank you for a great stay!

Fantastic

My family and I stayed at Peters cozy chalet during Christmas and we were extremely happy! As soon as we entered there was a welcome basket ready for us to enjoy, that was a 1st for us! That was really thoughtful!! Whenever we are in Tahoe, we always usually dine out at least once and thats what we had planned but the chalet was so beautiful and cozy that none us wanted to leave. The house was well equipped and just perfect size for the 4 of us and our 2 furry friends! Thank you Peter for a memorable experience at your beautiful home and for getting back to me right away every time I had a question!!

Better than expected. Had hoped for three nights but fully booked .

I was really impressed with the emails before arrival with all the information needed to know about where to find things in the house, lock box code, numbers to call, how to work the glass door etc. Nice clean chalet tucked into a cudasac in an easy and convienent area. The inside is so nicely appointed all through out. Looks small yet very spacious. Thanks for the small touch of the little Xmas tree! I would rent here again and fully recommend this home. peter is very nice and keeps in touch. I have been managing a resort in Hawaii for 30 years so pretty tough on reviews. I give this stay an A +. Thank you Peter.

We hoped for a cabin to relax and have fun and that's what happened!

The kitchen was extremely well stocked with plates, pans and utensils. All the appliances worked great. There was a nice big screen TV. The cabin was extremely clean and having a dishwasher, washer and dryer, hair dryers, vacuum, and extra fans, made life easy! It was a quick drive to stores, the lake, and other fun activities. The back deck and beautiful lawn were an unexpected pleasure. We had a complete list of contact information if we had any problems. We did not have problems but knew we would be taken care of quickly and efficiently if we had needed help. We have lots of happy memories from our stay and if someone is looking for a Lake Tahoe Cabin Experience, we would definitely recommend this "Peaceful Little Chalet!"

Lovely property

We enjoyed our stay in this cabin in Tahoe Highland Woods. The cabin is nicely updated and furnished. We stayed during the week of Christmas and the cabin was decorated for the holidays and there was a gift basket waiting for us on the kitchen island. The neighborhood is quiet and easily accessed. The owner promptly answered our questions before and during the stay.

About the host

Hosted by Peter Rapier

Host profile image
My name is Peter. The first place I backpacked in California was in the Desolation Wilderness, first rock climbing at 90 Foot Wall, and up near Luther Pass south of here is the first place we camped out with our daughter (at 4 months). Nalinee and I love it up here and have been coming for years, bringing visitors and family along.

Why they chose this property

Central location yet quiet, no ugly power lines, walking and bike trails right nearby.
