There is a large deck with comfortable seating as well as a stainless gas BBQ on the top level and also a second private deck on lower level.

~WINTER SNOWBOARDING/SKIING: The home is only about 4 miles from Homewood Ski Resort which has great snowboarding and skiing and Beautiful wide open lake views. Driving to Alpine Meadows is also not far (approximately 20 mins.) and one of our favorite resorts; it's great for families.
~SUMMER FEATURES:
The home is very close to Meeks Bay Beach and Resort which has great lake activities for all ages and is one of the best beach areas on the lake. In the summer, Meeks Bay offers swimming, boating, and has a marina and a lodge which provide snacks and gift items. At the beach there is snack bar as well as other water activities like kayaks and paddle boats. There is a sand volleyball court and boat rentals at Meeks Bay. To see what Meeks Bay has to offer google Meeks Bay Resort. It is a great family resort with fun for all ages!
Our home is located in a quiet and relaxing neighborhood, this is truly in a special mountain setting. There is also easy access to hiking on the Meeks Bay trail above Meeks Bay Resort up to lakes and the Desolation Wilderness area.
Our house is very close to the beach as there is a woodsy pathway starting at the house (only a 5 to 10 minute walk) that leads you down to the beautiful white sandy beach at Meeks Bay in the summer. (This is across highway 89.) The walk down is also a beautiful quiet walk and area to visit in the winter.
If you head down highway 89 toward the south shore, you will arrive at beautiful Emerald Bay which is about a 15-20 minute drive on highway 89. There are spectacular hiking trails, waterfalls and tours of the Vikingsholm available; this is run by the State Parks. There is a trail down to Emerald Bay where there are tours of Vikingsholm available. Sugar Pine Point State Park is also within a few miles and is the location of the historic Erhman Mansion with available tours and a beautiful lake and pier area, picnic areas as well as hiking and biking trails.
Another great activity is to catch the bike trail which is 1/4 mile down from the home across highway 89 and goes all the way in to Tahoe City.
Once you experience this area and home, you will want to come back year after year!!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Our cabin is owned by two families and was built by our parents years ago because Meeks Bay was our parent's favorite area to go on vacation and get away to relax. We also love Meeks Bay and have memories that go back to the old lodge and family acitivities that happened when Meeks was run by the Kehlet Family. The old lodge was amazing and had so much character. We still are very fortunate to be able to enjoy the pristine nature of the beautiful beach and surrounding area. It never grows old. The new managment of Meeks Bay has done a very excellent job of keeping it grounds looking beautiful and keeping the character of an old Tahoe Resort. Both of our families love to swim, take walks on the trails and hike, to ride the bike trail and to enjoy all that Tahoe has to offer!
The Unique Benefits of this House
When you go stay at our cabin, it is totally relaxing. You get to breathe the fresh mountain air.....enjoy the crystal clear cool water and beautiful light sand at Meeks Bay. If you don't do too much you return home very rejuvenated. You will get the urge to go back once you have been there.........The best part is the gorgeous lake view you can enjoy from the house year round.

Love this cabin! Beautiful view of the lake, plenty of hiking and biking trails. Loved sitting on the deck overlooking the lake and just basking in the sun. Great locals deli down the road. Plenty of great restaurants near by. Beautiful beach just a short hike away. Our last night there it snowed and we awoke to the most gorgeous postcard view. This was our first visit, but we will definitely be going back.

The views of Lake Tahoe - especially from the deck, living room, and kitchen - are truly unbelievable. The west shore is still Tahoe's best, and this quaint cabin has got to be one of the west shore's best! With plenty to do any time of year, Meeks Bay still allows for that "get away from it all" feeling. Our family rents at least twice a year, and we'll never get tired of it!!

This is absolutely one of my favorite getaways! I've been both in the Spring and Winter, the views are always amazing! The location is really convenient and the walk to Sugarpine is lovely. I have to admit my favorite time is sitting at the bar and watching the sunset over the lake! What a find this is!

I was lucky enough to find this cabin and staying just once sold me! I loved it. My girlfriend and I had an amazing time, we went ice skating, enjoyed some movies and dinners and enjoyed the beautiful lake view next to the warm fire! We plan to come back!

I've stayed at this cabin every year I can! It has one of the best views I've ever seen in Tahoe! I love it here, and my family and I will continue to come here as much as we can! With Meeks bay beach being just a simple walk away it's so easy for the kids! And all the great ski resorts we have to choose from make the winter just as fun! Thanks Cranston family!
