About this property

Welcome to Cabinlicious! Just head-to-toe remodeled 50's vintage Lake Forest Cabin across the street from the Lake. Half block walk to Skylandia exclusive beach and walking trails. This is the Tahoe destination that is both super delicious for adults with the lake a stroll away and Squaw/Alpine/Northstar a 20 minute drive, and also for kids who love a house that is an adventure in itself. Cabinicious was designed by a decorator who celebrates Tahoe in her 70's glory with hanging chairs and a record player, drink fridge, and bedrooms that all escape the hum-drum of hotelness: An intimate Master Queen bedroom with gold deer head and dream catcher, a Glampsite-inspired bedroom with a full sized teepee bed, and a super playful bunk room with 1 bunk and 1 fold out single. All beds have sumptuous down blankets so your fun is sprinkled with deep z-z-z-z's.
The intimate Tiny Fun Cabin (700 sq. ft) is made especially big in the spring and summer when the 9000 sq. ft. lot has a creek running through, a forest playground for kids with hammocks. This is Tiny Cabin Chic and so if you want a big space, this is not the place for you....
The land itself is a rare forested double lot in the exclusive Lake Forest area, a peaceful enclave between Dollar Point and Tahoe City.... just a couple miles to town to enjoy the bike path to town and restaurants and shops. Lake Forest itself only has a couple rentals as this is mostly high-end residents. Stroll down to the Sugar Pine bakery for great treats and coffee and sandwiches.
Only 1/2 block from Skylandia Beach or 2 blocks from public boat launch and beautiful sandy beach. Cabinicious is not spacious, but sexy, a fun haven for adults and kids alike. Come play Twister and Cornhole and lounge in a hammock in the summer. It's where we all want to land in the Big Blue I Do of Tahoe....
Special Note: If you are a high maintenance guest, we are thankful if you look elsewhere. Folks that need curling irons and a measuring cup delivered in the snow are not our peeps. This cabin is for cozy adult and kid fun... big stars, big lake, and getting back to the fun of escape.

Buyer beware but it might be worth it

I really appreciate thorough and honest reviews so I am seeking to provide that here. I had very mixed emotions about this rental. First let me say I am NOT a high maintenance guest that the description says shouldn’t book and I am pretty laid back. But the description for this property is just plain wrong. Having said that the location is awesome and the bed was comfortable and the house had a bohemian charm that we embraced. But here’s what’s not great andwhat is even misrepresented in the listing. 1) the 9600 sq ft of outside is NOTHING like what is described. There are no hammocks, no tee pee and you share the lot with a camper trailer that has residents in it, a piece of warn out junk (like a wooden outdoor shower), and two trailers. The dining table and grill was unclear as to whether it was ours to use or the residents of the trailer so we really felt like we had a tiny table with four plastic chairs. 2) the house is small but it could be really cozy downstairs if the furniture wasnt so weird as to make it impossible to be comfortable. Even for just two people. The two swings pictured have been replaced by one that two adults can’t possibly fit in comfortably and then there is no room for any other chairs to be pulled up. The very heavy dining table is short and the chairs don’t allow an adults legs to fit under it (chairs r too high) so even dining is uncomfortable. The upstairs is better. 3) there is no central AC. There is a window air conditioner in the biggest bedroom and it worked great. Also the downstairs stayed really cool so no ac down there didn’t matter. But the listing said there is AC and that is misleading. 3) there is no fun room that we could find. 4) the beach is about a 1/4 mile walk not a block. But it is close and it is gorgeous 5) the record player doesn’t work. No big deal but it’s highlighted on the listing. A note on cleanliness. Checkin instructions say they are cleaning extra because of Covid and to not ask for early checkin but the place was not very clean. There was chunks of stuff on the throw pillows and so Much dust (on blinds, etc) that it just felt dirtier than my own house and I go on vacation to escape that! The neighborhood is a neighborhood. You are not in the forest in a cabin and the view is of a ramshackle cabin owned by the county. But it is SO close to the lake and our dog loved it so much. So…go ahead and stay here. Just don’t be shocked when the property is not as advertised

Tiny living room with UNUSABLE FURNITURE

The living area was tiny with not a single comfortable seat. NOT ONE. It was filled with useless furniture and was hard to walk around in. Should take out all the junk and put in 2 comfy loveseats and a regular height table. Probably would not stay again, although bed was quite comfy and location was lovely.

We stayed last week and were lucky to avoid the forest fire smoke. The cabin is ideally located for all activities on the north side of the lake. Easy direct beach access with a bakery down the street were highlights! Mountain biking was amazing and could ride to most trails directly from the cabin. I was worried it would be noisy because it is situated on a corner close to the beach, but public parking is very limited and noise/traffic were not issues at all. Highly recommend staying!

Cozy house

We really enjoyed the location and the eclectic decorations. As the posting said it has the essentials. The only thing we could complain about is that it was such a hot weekend the AC and refrigerator never really got cold. Other than that there was great communication from the owners and we had a great time in Tahoe. They even had a wine refrigerator which we really enjoyed.

Our folks live across the street and this was a dream to purchase. It was a design dream! It's small but with a great vintage feel. It has everything grown ups and kids alike will love. We come up often and play in the lake or on the mountain. Welcome.....
