All flooring replaced, fresh paint, new carpet, drapes - all very clean.

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.

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.

A
Trout Creek

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

    • DITTO on all the previous comments. I just want to add that the price of this cozy cabin was the same as a hotel/motel SINGLE ROOM with our dog. So, with the comfort of a whole house, it was a real vacation for all!

    • The Urban Cabin gave us "The Best of Both Worlds", during our 3-night stay in August.  It has all the conveniences of home ... located in a quiet, woodsy neighborhood, away from the hustle and bustle; yet close to the casinos, shows, restaurants and, of course, The Lake.

    • We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay. I'll echo the comments of some others ... the place is well maintained, stocked and nicely appointed. The owners are responsive and reasonable. One thing we particularly liked was how the house backs up to some open forest. This was great for walks, particularly with the dog.

    • Just returned from our 3rd stay at the "Urban Cabin", and at the risk of making it harder to book in the future, we gladly give it the highest possible rating. We've stayed at VRBO properties across the country, inluding several others at Lake Tahoe, and this property is perfect for us. It's definitely one of the best "bang for the buck" properties we've ever experienced. It's well located (very quiet and private, summer or winter), yet easily accessible to everything South Tahoe has to offer. The home is nicely updated and well stocked, and the owners are helpful, friendly and easy to work with. It's roomy for a 2-bedroom/1 bath, we especially like how the kitchen opens up to the large living room. We've visited Tahoe more than 100 times over the past 35 years, and were even part owners of a vacation home for a while. For a small family, two couples, or especially one, the "Urban Cabin" provides the perfect base for a classic and relaxing Lake Tahoe vacation.

    • We had a great trip and the cabin was cozy and excellent. Dee was very professional and a pleasure to rent from. The day before our arrival, the previous guest reported a maintenance issue and Dee was very responsive and had it fixed before we arrived. Everything was perfect. I would recommend her cabin to anyone wanting a nice Tahoe getaway.

    • This was a perfect summer getaway spot for the 2 of us & our rat terrier. Very clean & well appointed... quiet too! A welcome change from typical motel living. We couldn't have asked for more. All the comforts of home. Nice place & fair pricing. We hope to return!

    • This was a wonderful place to stay. So quiet and peaceful. It's close to the lake and yet far away enough to not get caught up in the business of the area. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    • My husband and I just enjoyed a getaway weekend enjoying the serenity of our surroundings and the amenities of the cabin. The gas fire in the LR was a real plus on this chilly weekend. Thank you Dee. Kathleen and Bill

    • My family of four and our dog Max spent a wonderful Memorial Day weekend here. I really appreciated all the amenities here, especially for the price. Very well-stocked kitchen, and gas BBQ, where we prepared memorable early summer meals. Very comfy living room, and equally comfy beds. The Adirondack chairs were our morning and early evening relaxing spots, while the kids biked up and down the street. Absolutely no traffic, so quiet! And yet so near all the attractions of South Lake. Great location. I'll definitely come here again. Thanks, Dee!
