About this property
O'Brien's Den by Hauserman Rentals
// This home is a short-term rental and ski lease \\
***Pets Prohibited***
Nestled on the northern border of Sugar Pine Point State Park, O’Brien’s Den is ideal for a small family or group looking for a quiet getaway. Maximum occupancy is 4. Completely updated, this adorable cabin has everything you’ll need to enjoy your Tahoe time: Comfy living room with gas fireplace and flat screen TV with cable or streaming on Hulu and Netflix, fully-equipped kitchen with dining table for 5, two Queen bedrooms, one with laundry facilities, and bathroom with shower and heated floor. Step out the back door to savor the majestic forest view.
Sugar Pine Point State Park is directly behind the cabin and Homewood Mountain Resort – offering incredible lake views skiing and snowboarding -- is just 3 miles to the north. Meeks Bay, DL Bliss State Park, Emerald Bay and Desolation Wilderness are also easily accessed from O’Brien ’s Den.
At 712 square feet, it's cozy but power-packed with all the necessities and located to take advantage of all that the West Shore offers. And, as the locals like to say, “West Shore is the Best Shore!”
