Our whole family loved this cabin! It's beautifully decorated with comfortable furniture and homey touches. The kitchen is well-stocked and has new, easy-to-use appliances. It made it super easy to prepare meals and it was lovely to sit at a beautiful dining room table and eat off of good plates. There are special toys and surprises hidden throughout for the kids to find and enjoy when not playing outside (dress up dolls, building toys, games, etc.). On cold nights we enjoyed a crackling fire, the library of books, and the movie collection. The bathroom had tons of plush towels and a heat lamp for those especially cold mornings. There was even a washer/dryer. The cabin was easy to find and close to the slopes and the lake. Our dog loved walking in the back and all around the neighborhood. Cari, the owner, was always available to answer questions and offer suggestions for things to do. We had a fantastic week and would love to visit again.

Cute Cozy Cabin Near Skiing

My family of four stayed in this adorable "Strawberry" themed cabin for two nights. It was adorable and very cozy. The kitchen/dining/living room is very open for maximizing family time. There are lots of beds! Two in the each bedroom, plus a pull out trundle underneath the bunk that we used since the bunk was a little high for my kids. We loved the bathroom- recently remodeled, clean, and very plush towels! There is also a washer/dryer in case you need to dry wet ski clothes. The kitchen is well stocked and there is lots of counter space for cooking. The location is great- right off 50, and about 13 minutes from the Sierra at Tahoe ski resort. We will definately come back because the location can't be beat and it's the right size for us! The owner was super duper nice and very quick to reply to emails. She made us feel at home the moment we arrived with a complimentary bottle of red wine and strawberry candies. This was my first time using VRBO.com so I was definately impressed with the owner's accessibility and friendliness. Very fabulous!

Great little cabin

We loved this place. It is cozy, warm, a few minutes away from the slopes, with a lot of light and a great view. It is perfect for two families or for one big family. The interior is decorated with great taste and the little kitchen has everything you need to have a warm dinner on the table. Cari, the owner, is very helpful and very god at following up with inquires. We'd like to come back in this cute place.

The cabin was really cute and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well equipped. I even found a steamer and salad spinner which is important to me a vegetarian. The place is clean. Feels like home away from home. Would definitely recommend to friends. Cari was very helpful and quick in her communication via email. Patient with all my questions as this was first time booking a cabin online. I am planning on using this place again next winter. Jasmine

We had the perfect getaway weekend at this amazingly cute cabin last weekend. It was the perfect location for easy access to Sierra-at-Tahoe as well as an easy drive up from the Bay Area Friday night...the location was right before chain controls & traffic headed to South Shore. The cabin was very comfortable. The attention to details and casual/cute/rustic decor made us feel instantly at home...very well thought out by the cabin owners. The entryway to the cabin is perfect and the kitchen has EVERYTHING! My teenagers were snowboarding all day & constructing a super sled hill beside the cabin until late at night... There was so much new snow! I e-mailed back and forth with owner, Cari an awful lot just trying to arrange a simple little weekend trip...nothing is simple with teens! I appreciate that she was always understanding, friendly, positive and helpful:) We would definitely stay here again and I can't wait to arrange another getaway!

Hi Cari, We just got back from Tahoe today. We had a great time hiking around--we saw several amazing waterfalls and the weather was perfect! You decorated the cabin so cute--even found strawberry mountain shampoo! :-) ~alice c.

We had a great time at your cabin...it is so charming. We visited early may and there was still snow on the ground. We drove there in clear weather, but as good luck had it, I stated snowing like crazy about an hours after we arrived, covering tree branches, everything. What a lovely sight It was a winter wonderand, suitable for a postcard. We built a roaring fire with everything alredy there and so kindly supplied for our use. Even tho we didn't bring chidren this visit, I couildn't help but notice there were kids little surprises were all around the house...games, dolls, books, movies. It was very kid friendly and families can really appreciate that!. It was great and adult friendly too. The kitchen had everything I needed, spices, dishes, dish soap, gloves,crockpot, collander, everything in my own kitchen. The list goes on and on...very well stocked. The bedding was wonderful. There was even a washer/dryer there! A home away from home! We are looking forward to our nest visit. This time we have booked it for the opposite end of the year. I know that area is beautiful then too with many birds, ferns on ground, nature scenery at it's best. Thank you Car for one of the most delightful vacations imagineable What a deal, for the cost of a motel It was a private cabin that was very nice, reasonably secluded, yet close enough to store and skiing to be perfect.And it was that...just perfect! I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely private get-a-way, with or woithout children!!! Cari, the ownmer, was great and easy to reach

We stayed at this quaint cabin in March. The cabin is so cozy and inviting! Cari's attention to detail is amazing! She was the perfect hostess, providing a clean, warm, inviting atmosphere and lots of enthusiasm! Thank you for the Strawberry candies and wine! :) We will be back!

This quaint cabin made the perfect base for our snow camping adventure. Cari was so accommodating, making maps for us and providing suggestions of where we should go. We especially loved the Strawberry candies and decor. We can't wait to come back!

We had a great time at this charming cabin. It is the perfect location for skiing, on the slope within 10 minutes. There were many outdoor activities. The hill in the back is such a plus for the kids. Cari is a very attentive owner and will take great care of you guys!! I can't wait to go back!!!
