About this property

Charming Strawberry, Twin Bridges Cabin close to Sierra at Tahoe, American River

This unique mid-century modern cabin style (1950's) house sleeps 4 comfortably. It is located in the scenic Strawberry community off of Highway 50, 100 yards from the American River in the Strawberry forest canyon. There are beautiful views of Lover's Leap from our cabin with floor to ceiling (9') windows in the Living Room and Rose Room. The cabin is equipped with new, efficient forced air heating, remodeled kitchen with granite countertops, new Pergo flooring, updates everywhere and a beautiful floor to ceiling stone fireplace that adds ambiance and additional warmth.

It is in walking distance to the historic Pony Express Trail and Lover's Leap, a hot spot for rock climbers and hikers. Enjoy the historic Strawberry Lodge, a walk away, for breakfast, dinner or a nightcap or walk to the Strawberry Station to pick up some groceries or hang out with the locals, climbers and the owners, Squirrel and Jen.

An hour and a half from Sacramento, just before the usual chain control at Twin Bridges and 5 miles before Sierra-at-Tahoe our cabin is ideal for skiers and riders, without the hassle of driving over Echo Summit. There are many recreational activities to enjoy right out the front door and even more a short drive away.

The Pacific Crest Trail, the Pony Express Trail, Lover's Leap and Horse Tail Falls Trail are minutes from the cabin. The cabin is close to a handful of mountain recreational lakes including Echo Summit Lake, Ice House Lake, and Cody Lake.

A charming clean and restful place. Close to the road but noise is not really a problem. The view and neighborhood are green and peaceful. You'd never know how close the fire came several years ago.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful cabin

Had a wonderful experience staying at Cari's place. She was very communicative and the place was well stocked eith everything we needed. The cabin is in a beautiful spot and the windows allowed a lot of natural light and were perfect to look out when it was snowing. We are excited to come back again!

Great cabin with a large wood burning fireplace. Beautiful view of Lover's Leap cliff face, from both the main cabin and bedroom. Be prepared for power outages during snow and wind storms.

Relaxing retreat

Love Cari’s cabin! It was so cozy and comfortable- the fireplace is probably our favorite part of the cabin. It was a treat to sit by the fire and watch the snow fall. Lots of neat games, books and VHS/DVD collections. Plus the beds were very comfortable- would stay here again!

Short stay with nice view of Lover's Leap right out the window. Cabin was well stocked for cooking and everything worked as expected. Had a couple of nice fires in the open fireplace. Would recommend this cabin for smaller groups (only one bathroom). Suited my needs well.

Bright and cheerful cabin

We spent a month in May/June and loved our stay. The views from the primary bedroom look directly at Lovers Leap. The deck outside is a wrap around so you can enjoy sun or shade according to conditions. The kitchen is well stocked and anything you need to clean up after yourself or pets has been thought of. We can’t wait to visit again.

Lovely details

Cute, cozy and every-aspect-considered cabin 10-15 min south of Sierra at Tahoe. Spent a sunny Spring-ski weekend here with our fellas (ages 10 and 12) who loved the bunk beds, games and large stone fireplace. We cooked full breakfasts and dinners in the kitchen each day, all you need is there. As other guests have mentioned, you can hear the traffic just below the cabin on Hwy 50, but it becomes background noise as your attention is focused on all the wonderful details of this place. Hope to be back in the summer to check out the swimming hole up the road - thanks Cari!

About the host

Hosted by Cari

We both enjoy outdoor activities like surfing, jogging, mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, back country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, swimming and camping. I love to decorate and work on home improvement projects. Fulfilling my life long dream of owning a cabin in the Sierras has given me another fantastic projected that I love. It is so fun decorating the cabin in mountain/lodge decor!

Why they chose this property

Vacationing in Tahoe was always a favorite memory growing up. It has always been a dream to own a little cabin in the woods. We love the seclusion, skiing and outdoor adventures in Strawberry/ Twin Bridges. It's the perfect place to bring kids, and I'm glad we can give our kids the same life long memories of enjoying the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains!

What makes this property unique

The cabin has so many fun adventures right out the front door. Walking to the American River to relax by the river or swim in the pools is a fantastic summer activity. Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, Pony Express Trail, Horse tail Falls Trail are always beautiful. Bringing a plant guide to help identify Sierra wild flowers is always a joy. Hiking from Camp Sacramento to the top of Lover's Leap is an easy hike with spectacular views as the reward! Not to mention, the great lakes nearby to fish, swim, boat and relax by the shore.
