This Romantic Urban Cabin was completely remodeled in the fall of 2005. The fully equipped kitchen has granite counters, new appliances, new maple cabinets and recessed lighting. The fireplace is a new porcelain gas stove, so no muss with fire-building, just flip the switch for instant warmth and atmosphere. All flooring replaced, fresh paint, new carpet, drapes - all very clean.
Located between Highway 50 or Lake Tahoe Boulevard and Pioneer Trail, just off Black Bart in a quiet neighborhood that backs to a meadow and Heavenly Valley Creek. Easy access to all of south shore using the locals route.
Comfy, knotty-pine living room with dimmed lighting throughout creates a warm ambiance. The wrap-around porch with it's Adirondack chairs gives a very Ralph Lauren feeling.
An entry through convenient mudroom with washer and dryer is place to stash ski equipment, boots and wet gear.
Pets are considered and smoking is allowed outside on the covered porch only.

Why the Owner Chose Black Bart
Tahoe in the 70's was deliciously decadent; the result of sharing that experience created life-long friendships for about 20 of us "girls." Though few of use remained at the Lake after 1980, we return every summer for our annual "Reunion;" last year was the 20th anniversary of those reunions. We rent a big, comfortable house either on the Lake or with a fabulous view of the Lake and spend 4-5 days reminiscing or trying to re-create those crazy times. And we have a blast!
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
It's not on the Lake, doesn't even have a peek-a-boo view of the Lake, but the cabin is our little piece of the Lake! Originally we hoped to use it only for ourselves and friends, but financial reality set in, so we go there as often as we can, give our friends the best deal we can, and share it as a vacation rental on vrbo, our only source of renters.
We try to give renting it a personal touch and after 3 years of sharing our cabin with vrbo-ers, every single person or group who has stayed there has treated the cabin as if it were their own. It is as clean and pristsine as it was when we completed the remodel 3 years ago. It is so comfy and cozy, a perfect retreat, a place to go to "recharge", commune with nature and centrally located so that skiing, beaches, casinos, restaurants, are just minutes away.
Follow the pathways along the creek all the way to the Lake, unless it gets too marshy to make it the whole way.
Owner's Map of Black Bart
We came from the mid-west, Iowa and Kansas, as college students for a summer job. Kathy and I have been friends since we met as black jack dealers at Sahara Tahoe in the early 1970's; it was a summer vacation that lasted for more than a decade! Eventually our lives went in various directions but our hearts and souls have been embedded in Lake Tahoe since that first summer. Kathy is now a casino manager in Reno and I have a career in real estate in the Bay Area - in the town of Los Gatos.

Hi Dee & Kathy, What a darling little cabin you have. Very clean, very comfortable. We loved having the big dinette to have our meals at, the big front porch and the open space behind the cabin to explore. Even snow on Suday morning. Had a great time, thank you so much. Debra
