Great cabin!

My friend group and I had a wonderful week at the Abbe Cabin. The place itself feels very homey and the family and their property manager were easy to work with. I enjoyed the location and the hot tub, boats, and other amenities.

Wonderful location right on the waterfront with plenty of space for a larger group. Our party of 9 had plenty of room to enjoy Lake Tahoe. The host was very responsive and accommodating and the property was charming and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

The interaction with everyone was wonderful. They were very helpful and more than willing to answer. Any questions we had. The biggest thing for me was the cobwebs everywhere, it needed a very deep cleaning and just some things updated.

The Abbe Houses

We had a wonderful stay. The three houses gave privacy for each family and a place for coming together. The location, just in front of the lake is unbeatable. The kitchen is complete with all the tools you need for cooking and the beds are confortable. What else do you need?

Steps to the lake at Carnelian Bay

We spent most of our time cooking and eating on the deck, relaxing in the hot tub and using the kayaks and SUP on the lake Dined at Car Woods 3 mins from property Plenty of towels and linens and found everything we needed from hair dryer iron citrus juicer coffee maker but the star of the show is the view!

All three cabins are beautiful! Each has some view of the lake and the Lakeside Cabin has wonderful lake views from every room. The kitchen is well stocked and has all the utensils and equipment you need, even a few basic ingredients in the pantry. We all enjoyed using the rowboat, canoe, kayak, and sailboat, located just down from the deck.The wood burning stove, with lots of firewood, was nice for the first few chilly evenings we were there.The ONLY drawback was the size of the bed in the Lakeside Cabin, the description said it was a queen-size, but it felt more like a glorified double. It is squeezed into the gabled roof-line, which understandably limits the bed size. Other than that we had a wonderful five days! And hope to return!

Lovely winter stay on the lake!

The Abbe cabin(s) were exactly what we were looking for in a Tahoe vacation. Charming, warm, and full of character. We had a great trip! The hosts were excellent at communicating as well. All necessary details were shared in advance about conditions resulting from heavy snowfall in the area.

Best ever

Can’t get any better, location is unbeatable. The three separate cabins was so great for multiple families. We had our own sled hill in the backyard. Deck is big and beautiful. Hot tub was clean and hot. It’s the best VRBO ever!

Family Vacation

Amazing cabin right on the lake!! The Separate cabins was nice because it gave different family members their own space along with their own toilets and showers. The main cabin was perfect with kitchen and family room large enough for our family of 8. The deck overlooks the lake and only feet away from the lake itself. The deck has a hot tub, gas BBQ, and plenty of seating for a large family. We highly recommend this place!

Location, Location, Location!

What an amazing property with a location that can not be beat! The 3 residences were perfect for our group - allowed for privacy when needed and a great spot to get together to cook and hang out. The bedrooms in the lookout and Abbe cabin are cozy but comfortable. Our teen kids couldn't get enough of the hot tub and we couldn't get enough of the view. The hosts were quick to respond to our questions and were very helpful. Highly recommended! You will not be disappointed.

Great Family Gathering Location

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely Lake Tahoe home. The location right on the lake was unbeatable, and the deck provided beautiful views, especially with the wonderful weather we had. The living room had a warm, homey cabin vibe that made it a cozy place to gather and relax. One thing to note is that the twin beds are more suitable for children than adults, and the layout requires walking through one sleeping area to reach another. This setup might not work for all groups, but we had a great time and appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and stunning lakefront location!

INCREDIBLE HOME

I’ve been coming to Tahoe in the summer for 20 years. This is the best experience so far. My wife, baby son and toddler enjoyed our birthdays, and then some family came with their dog; it was magical. The location is the best on the lake. The home is perfect for everyone who stayed. The deck is SO good. The hosts are amazing. HIGHLY recommended. Coming back here every year.
