This darling cabin is perfectly situated in Sunnyside and is just few minutes walk to the private beach, with lake views from our front lawn. Features include a cozy living room with pass-through access to the kitchen. The living and dining room is adorned with a stone gas fireplace, knotty pine walls, carved beams, beautiful wood floors, and rustic pine railings. The darling kitchen is complete with a 1930's original Wedgewood stove.
The master bedroom, with dormer window knotty pine paneling, features a walk-in closet, and a queen sized bed. The second upstairs bedroom includes two double beds, perfect for 2 adults or 4 children. On the first floor, there is a third bedroom with another queen sized bed, which can sleep 1-2 additional guests. (There is also a "flip-flop mattress" in the upstairs closet to accommodate one additional child/teen on the floor, if needed. We also have a "Pak and Play" for tiny ones). In sum, you can easily sleep 6 adults, and a couple more littles if needed.
Drink your morning coffee on the charming front deck, overlooking the beautiful grassy front lawn, and watch the world go by. The backyard is fully enclosed with picnic table seating, a barbecue and a relaxing hammock under the trees.

This cottage was absolutely darling and perfectly located. It’s a tiny house with what one’s grandmother might describe as a two fanny kitchen but it has a big back yard and wide front porch, with beach access. A perfect summer getaway. My family had a wonderful time there!
This was our second time staying in this lovely cabin and we had a wonderful time. It is cute and cozy and the location is fantastic. While it is small, the space is very well used. The hosts are super responsive and friendly. Highly recommend this spot to couples and small families!
Nothing but wonderful things to say about our stay at the cottage! Pascha and Jay are wonderful hosts and communicators. The location was perfect for our group being within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and West Shore Market. The bikes and kayak/SUP were a bonus! We loved the fenced in back yard for my sister’s small dog too. The cottage itself is very quaint and efficient- we loved coming back to cook and relax after outings. We look forward to coming back in the future! Thanks, Pascha and Jay!
This was our second time visiting Tahoe and staying at the cottage. Everything was perfect and we had the best time! Hoping to return next summer!!

So glad you returned, Jennifer, and can't wait for you and your crew to return again. Always happy to host you and so pleased that you had another fabulous stay at our cabin!!
Only stayed two days, and it was perfect. Wonderful cabin, fully stocked with anything needed. Beds are very comfortable, having a fireplace was amazing. Amazing location 10 minute walk or 2 mi drive to Sunnyside, Tahoe park, Firesign, and Westshore Market. Hosts were incredibly gracious, highly recommended this property.

Glad you enjoyed your short but sweet visit. Come stay with us again. We’d love to have you.
We had a great long weekend at the 1930's cottage. Excellent location: 5 minute walking to the lake, nice coffee/grocery store, and a short drive to ski resorts. The house had everything we were looking for. Comfortable and quiet bedrooms, lovely living room, and the kitchen has everything you need (we loved the old stove). The house feels more like a place that the owner enjoys, rather than a rental with no charm. The fenced yard was great for the dogs. Communication was also super easy with the owner.
Nice winter weekend getaway with our family and dogs. Enjoyed snowshoeing and exploring. Well appointed and amazing fenced backyard. We look forward to coming back!

Thanks so much for your kind review, Rebecca!! Glad you had a great time and good to know you appreciated the fenced backyard!
Very snug and sweet cabin in an excellent location steps away from beautiful Tahoe Park. Pascha, the homeowner, was absolutely delightful to deal with.

We had a great time and the location was perfect. The yard was very nice and the lake was walking distance. The beach park at the lake was very very nice and the few restaurants and deli were awesome. Fire Sign cafe was really good. We loved the place and was nice and cozy and the family had a great experience.

Thanks so much for the review, Ryan. So happy you liked the cottage and everything nearby. Its such a sweet spot in Lake Tahoe...so glad you took advantage of all the nearby stuff to do and eat in this area!
Great experience with this property. We had two dogs and wanted to spend a lot of time hiking and down at the lake. The cottage was perfect and had lots of amenities to make it feel like home.

Thanks, Karen! We were so happy to host you and your furry ones! Please come again.
We stayed with our family of five and had ample accommodations along with enjoying the property’s proximity to Lake Tahoe. We especially enjoyed the kayaking and private Beach Club access! The kitchen and living space was tight, as expected,, but we spent so much time outside in the back yard and at the lake we made it work. Perfect space and spot for a family getaway!

About the host
Hosted by Pascha and Jay Pennock
Our family has been going to Tahoe for years. We live in Santa Cruz and love the water, so when this property became available, we jumped at it. We love to hike and ride bikes and play in the lake in winter and ski, snowboard and cross country ski in the winter.
Why they chose this property
Our family has been going to Tahoe together for years and wanted a place of our own to make darling memories. We came across the Sequoia house and the four of us all immediately fell in love. It was the perfect combination of rustic Tahoe and cozy feelings. From the moment we stepped through the door to look at the fireplace and knotty pine wooden walls we were in love with our new home. The west shore is fabulous! Easy to get to from I-80 and flat terrain means that winter travel is easy. We love pets and that's why our place is available to responsible pet owners and their beloved pets!
What makes this property unique
From the large open front yard to watch the bikers and passers-by during the summer, to the beautiful enclosed back yard with a hammock to take a well-deserved little nap, this cozy cottage creates pure relaxation. The charming kitchen with the rustic 1930's Wedgewood oven/stove creates an old-time feel that is unbeatable (and it works great!). The lake is just a stone's throw away. And you can bike everywhere...you'll almost never need your car! We also allow you use of our "toys" kayaks, a paddle board and four bikes! Enjoy, have fun, and use at your own risk.
