Map & Owner's Profile
Two Morrows 3 BR/2 BA Vacation Cabin Near Skiing & Lake Tahoe
Year Purchased: 1979
Why the Owner Chose Tahoma
We bought our cabin while we were living in San Francisco shortly after we were married. Both my husband and I were avid skiers, and Homewood was one of our favorite places to ski. From the beginning we shared it with friends and renters. We were there about every third weekend for nearly 10 years. Then we moved to Tahoe and lived in it full-time for two years. Once we moved to Idaho, we didn't make as many trips, and so we began renting it more. Now I'm living in Washington state. I only get to Tahoe a few times a year, but my daughter (who wasn't born yet when we bought the cabin) and her husband get there a few times a year also! As you can guess, we love our little cabin, and hope you will too! And, by the way, you'll notice a little influence of Norway and Sweden there!
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
What do I love about the cabin? The wonderful smell of the forest! The lovely summer temperatures! The easy walk to the lake or to Sugar Pine Point State Park. The lack of traffic on the West Shore. The short trip to Homewood Mountain Resort. Walking to the PDQ market to pick up a paper and some milk. Eating breakfast on the front deck and watching the world go by. Walking my dog around the neighborhood and talking to all the neighbors. Watching old movies (there are more than 400 of them there!) Taking friends along or inviting California friends to come up while I'm there. The great room concept when I can cook and visit at the same time. The summer festivals. SnowFest in the winter. Driving around Emerald Bay. Poking around the Vikingsholm and Valhalla. The stream profile and nature walks at DL Bliss State Park. Hiking up to the tarns above Emerald Bay. Going to the hot springs in Nevada. The quiet fall season. The beauty of the lake and the mountains restores my soul!
The ski resort with the best views of the lake! Great trails. Not crowded. Kid-friendly. Reasonably priced
Ehrman Mansion is open for tours in the summer, beach, museum, x-c ski trails, bike paths.
Wonderful private estate that is now a state park. Lots of lovely wild flowers on the walk down. Tours of the home.

Hi,
I am Roberta. I am a widow and retired, but working full time as a volunteer at jobs such as newsletter editor and co-cultural director of my Sons of Norway lodge, editor of the national publication for Daughters of Norway called Døtre av Norge, publicity director for District 2 of the Sons of Norway and editor of the district's newsletter, performance folk-dancing with Leif Erikson Leikarringen, staying up all night in a homeless shelter when our temperature here in the Pacific Northwest falls below 33 degrees, serving on the Seattle's 17th of May committee (that's Norway's national holiday and a big deal in Seattle), serving on the Nordic Council, handling Internet communications for Western Rosemalers, serving as a docent for the Nordic Heritage Museum (I go to schools and talk to kids about immigrants from Scandinavia and Vikings and such), and occasionally going on a mission trip to help the poor or disaster victims by building/rebuilding their homes.
