Owner's Map of Agate Bay
Our family loves the outdoors. Tahoe offers 4 seasons of some of the best weather and natural settings on the planet. Our cabin is ideally located to take advantage of all the year round fun that the Tahoe region and Lake Tahoe have to offer. We are in the midst of world class skiing resorts, including x-country & backcountry skiing right out the back door. Our favorite beaches and restaurants are a 5-10 minute walk with boat & kayak launches even closer. Nothing better than relaxing after a day of outdoor fun next to a cozy warm fire with friends and family!

We had an absolutely fabulous time here at Steve's "Old-Tahoe-Style" retreat. Steve was so helpful with directions, area amenities and even with an e-mail prior to our trip with a weather update. Everything needed was thought out from fully stocked kitchen to beach mats and chairs. The kids and adults alike had great fun playing badminton on the sand volleyball court. The kids were so excited about the bunk beds and attic loft they couldn't decide where they wanted to sleep. There was plenty of room for the four adults and three kids. A great family getaway home.

Three generations of our family enjoyed our stay in this lovely cabin.

We found our way to the cabin with ease using the directions the owners provided to us. There was plenty of paved parking for our group. We thoroughly enjoyed the decks and spent the majority of our time there on the deck when not out on excursions. The kitchen was well stocked with pans and everything needed to prepare meals. The condition of the cabin and furnishings was very good, and the provided bed linens felt clean and in good condition, as were the towels. The kitchen and bathrooms were very clean when we arrived, which is very important to us. There were seven adults for part of our stay and we all fit just fine. The was a whole binder full of information provided by the owners on places of interest and things to do. The owners were very responsive to any and all of our questions, we would highly recommend this cabin if it is in an area that you would like to stay in.

My family and I had an excellent time visiting this Tahoe home over the 4th of July holiday weekend. The house is very well kept, and the owner is very easy to deal with. I would absolutely return to this property or recommend it to any friend. The location is really fantastic. You can get most places around the lake very easily. We had six adults in the house, and there was plenty of room. The kitchen is well stocked with supplies to cook at the house. The owner also gives some great information on local favorite spots around Tahoe to eat, etc. There are also some fantastic trails to hike up behind the house - what a beautiful way to start each morning! I highly recommend renting this home on your next vacation.

THE PERFECT RENTAL HOME

Review Submitted: 08/08/11
It is not an easy search for the perfect rental cabin. However this cozy cabin has the renters comfort in mind and I must say the owners have built the perfect retreat! Entertainment area for adults a big plus, game area for the kids, great kitchen which is fully stocked with cooking pots, pans and utensils. A plus - cooking with the entire family is easy - plenty of room! Comfortable beds and plenty of sleeping arrangements for at least 9-10 people. This cabin is the quietest place at night I have ever rented and centrally located well back from the road. The outdoor bad-mitten court area kept the children entertained the entire week. A plus, it is viewable from the entertainment area inside the home! Grandparents, parents and grand children thoroughly enjoyed this cabin - it got rave reviews from all the family. We will return to this cabin again. After renting many cabins over the years, this one stands out and is can not go wrong choice!

Our family had a great time at this cabin. Great location in North Tahoe, very near Carnelian Bay and King's Beach. Not all that far from Squaw Valley either. We appreciated the great patio decks and volleyball/badminton net. Our kids enjoyed exploring the cabin. The Agate Bay neighborhood was great for walking. The only problem we had was that we had to go back home again!

The cabin was cozy and clean with a beautiful fireplace. Everything seemed new, and there was a great attention to detail evident throughout. Our 3 year old especially loved one of the little upstairs bedrooms, it was the perfect size:). Also The BBQ was nice. The owner was great to work with, very clear and provided lots of useful information. There was a great sledding spot a short walk away. Close to town: food & shopping. Would definitely recommend!

The cabin was very clean and cozy! We had 4 adults, 2 toddlers and 2 babies stay at the cabin and had plenty of room. The bunkbed room was great for my son and his friend to have their first "sleepover" - they loved it! The adults enjoyed playing games by the fire at night. I love the dining area - we sat at that table and watched the snow fall - it was so beautiful! On Friday it snowed all day long, so we got to play in the snow and sled down the driveway - it was so much fun! Went to Squaw Valley for lunch and took the gondola up to the top and let the kids play for a while, they loved the ride up and down! We thought an extended weekend would be a long enough stay, but there are things we didn't get to do so, we will have to stay longer next time! Thank you for letting us rent your cabin, both families had great time!!!

Visited Tahoe with 4 couples to celebrate my birthday in February. Had the BEST time at this cabin. Steve was a pleasure to deal with, and the home was cozy and clean, and the owners' attention to detail is evident in every room. Was nothing like a "typical rental home" - all decorations and furniture are updated, comfortable, and modern. The gas BBQ was great to have, and we all loved siting around the fire at night playing cards. The house had everything we could possible need and I would most definitely rent it again for a trip up to the lake - it is simply wonderful! Thanks again Steve.
