We recently spent our anniversary at this magical rustic summer cabin from the 1930's. The inside is untouched from the days of yore which add to its charm. The setting is the most extraordinary with full views of Tahoe and wedged between Rubicon and Meeks Bay. The sunset rises directly in front of the house making an awe-inspiring moment to every evening. Everytime we left the property for activities we had to come back soon just to stare at the beauty. This cabin is down a steep hill so it's NOT suitable for ederly or children or even those not in shape but for those that want a glamping rustic experience versus five star accomodations in the most beautiful setting, this is the one for you! But don't book it too often as we want to come back soon!!!!!!!!!!!!! with Reader's Digests back from the 50's and old books to peruse once the unbelievable viewRecommended for: Adventure seekers, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2001
About the owner: We just love this little log style home. Going back in time like you do when you stay at this home is almost gone in Tahoe.
Why the Owner Chose Tahoma:
We fell in love with the simple life of Tahoe that few homes can still offer. The location is amazing and we love being so close to the water. This is a summer house that was built in the 1930's by the founding editors of Reader's Digest Magazine. Lot 43 was the first lot sold in the subdivision of Meeks Bay and is referred to in the 'Meeks Bay Memories' book. There is a lot of history to our unique cabin.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin:
By staying at our cabin, you'll slow down and relax because that's all there is to do. Enjoy the lake by swimming or bring your kayaks or boat, go 'crawdading' off the rocks, enjoy a great book in a lounge chair on the deck, BBQ a great meal with family or friends, and maybe enjoy a great bottle of wine in an amazing location.
