In 20 minutes you can be at Squaw or Alpine, 25 minutes to Northstar or the casinos! Tahoe City is only 5 minutes away with fine dining and shopping. Garwoods is even closer.

Summer renters: Miles of trails in the Tahoe National Forest just out our back door! Less than a mile down the hill is beautiful Lake Tahoe and walk out our back door into one of the many hiking and biking trails including the Tahoe Rim Trail. A hot tub & two large decks for outdoor dining & relaxation. The OHV trail begins about 15 houses up from ours so bring your ATV, dirt bikes, etc. and enjoy the trails.

Please note during the summer months wildfire smoke can be unpredictable and winds change daily. During the winter months snow storms can come quick and change daily, disrupting travel plans. We recommend our guests purchase trip insurance that covers natural disasters such as wildfire smoke and snow storms as we are not able to accommodate refunds for last minute cancellations. There is an air purifier in the cabin if there happens to be smoke during your stay.

A short 5 - 10 minute drive will bring you to the Truckee River for rafting or tubing, to the coast guard station to launch a boat or to one of many public beaches.

A Thanksgiving visit

Our family met up to celebrate Thanksgiving at this cozy property. It is lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The neighborhood contains walking trails that can be accessed from behind the yard or down the street. There were a few concerns with our visit. Many of the serving/cooking utensils were dirty and had to be washed before using. The beds were very comfortable but found at the end of our stay (when we took the sheets off the beds) that the mattress pad in the downstairs bedroom was covered in various lengths of dark hair. The sheets were not removed from the beds until just prior to leaving- the hair was there before our arrival. The fabric of the mattress cover seemed the type to attract things to stick to it and should have been something easily noticed by the housekeeper. Somewhat disconcerting especially given the fees paid for cleaning.

Great Little Cabin in the Woods

We stayed at Amelia's place for a long weekend, looking to score on some snow after the storms in early Feb. It's a great little place for exactly that -- cozy, has all the things you need. It's a quiet little neighborhood with access to a trail right behind the house. The back deck looks out into the woods, so sitting in the hot tub feels very peaceful and almost like you're alone in the trees. Our pup loves tromping around in the snow, which the backyard and trails are great for. We'll definitely be back!

Some concerns

The property does not accommodate 8-10 people, maybe 5-6 max. BBQ was filthy and took 30 minutes to clean so we could use it. Kitchen supplies were minimal and required turning on the dishwasher after every meal in order to have enough silverware and serving bowls. Third bathroom required going down a ladder or outside to access it which was not possible for some guests. Not somewhere I would stay in the summer. There is no AC and it was 85-90 degrees at bedtime causing sleepless nights. There are only beds for 6 people so one of our guest had to sleep on a couch. Shower curtains fell down frequently. The DVD player did not work. Inside the houses was clean. Games room was well stocked with games and books. Coffee maker was a big hit. Neighborhood was perfect and close to beaches and hiking trails. Lots of parking on the property. Nice hot tub.
