The house is perfect has a cabin motif, but very modern bathrooms and kitchen .Our host was even nice enough to let us stay an extra day because we got snowed in and 80 was closed. Clean had everything you could possibly need and yes, I would stay here again. Hostess is very responsive to any questions.

What a wonderful, magical way to spend the Holidays! Cheryl's cabin was cozy yet spacious. We had three generations staying and everyone had their own nooks but could gather in the family room when it was time to open presents and watch movies. She has a large property that was perfect for building snowmen and sledding. So close to Tahoe City as well! Thank you Cheryl for a very memorable Holiday!

Annual Ski Trip

We had a fantastic stay at Cheryl’s Cabin & Spa in Tahoe City. It was a wonderful place and a few minute drive to everything from mountains, store, shopping etc. We enjoyed our stay at the cabin with hot tub, big living room and fireplace. We will be sure to be back next time we visit Tahoe. Thank you Cheryl!

Beautiful cabin in woods

We had a great stay in the Bear Cabin. Plenty of room for the 5 of us with comfortable beds. Everything just as posted. Quiet neighborhood away from the crowds, yet very close to all Tahoe City has to offer. Would love to return - Thank you Cheryl!

Great location and cozy features

Our group had a great time at the Bear Cabin - we were close to driving to Palisades while also being close enough to restaurants to walk without a car. The fireplace was a wonderful addition to helping us warm up and hang out in the large living room...as well as the hot tub, which was a delight to sit in while the snow fell. Cheryl was very communicative although we had no problems!

Lovely Home, Beautifully Decorated

Would gladly stay again; charming, spacious, well-stocked and private. Adjacent woods have enough clearing for nice walks. Deck is huge. The larger beds are all fantastic. As of early 2024, the two smaller beds were shorter than twin size (but still manageable for shorter occupants), and the sofa pullout in lowest-level room near fireplace needed "mattress" replaced (20-year-old slept in living room instead).

Bears. Bears. Bears.

This home was quintessential Tahoe, in a good location. The kitchen and bathrooms were clean. Plenty of towels. Our group was overwhelmed by the amount of clutter (decorations) throughout the home. Removing at least half of it would make the space more livable, more welcoming and be much easier to clean.

Guys Trip in Tahoe

I'm one of five college friends who like to reunite every couple of years in a new place to reminisce about old times and create new memories. This cabin was perfect for our long weekend and gave everyone plenty of separate space while providing sizeable common areas where we could be together. The deck, especially, was outstanding and allowed us to enjoy each other's company and the loveliness of Tahoe at the same time. The home was clean and well-appointed, and our host was available to answer questions whenever needed. The location was also ideal; it was close to hiking and the lake. The next time we are in the Tahoe area, we will definitely book this lovely cabin in the woods again.

Great Cabin at North Lake Tahoe

Our stay was fantastic! You can tell you are renting someone’s personal vacation home instead of the usually business operated rental, but the cabin was very comfortable! My only complaint was the internet was so slow it’s mostly not usable. I think that would be an easy fix for the property owner. Sadly, some travelers still have to remain connected for family and work reasons. But we loved it and would go back again!

Another Fabulous Stay!

This is our second time at Cheryl’s wonderful cabin and it certainly won’t be our last! The cabin is just a perfect retreat for us, I always feel the stress melt off once we open the door! VERY well apportioned kitchen, comfortable beds, amazing family room, and outside is like your own private forest. Cheryl was incredibly communicative and very accessible if we ever needed anything. I seriously cannot think of anything negative to say about the property or communication. We want to make this our family tradition at least once a year. THANK YOU, Cheryl for every!

Tahoe City Snow Adventure

This property is very fun - super large, with lots of accommodations and privacy if you want it, but also large gathering spaces. The kitchen was decked out with awesome appliances, spices, cookware and all that you would need. The bathrooms are very modern and nice as well. The property is situated in a way that allows for privacy in the neighborhood, and the snowbanks helped that as well! There was a tremendous amount of snow but Cheryl made a point to call us ahead of our check-in and help with directions if needed, as the street signs were all buried under the snow! We had a bit of confusion with regard to wi-fi directions, but again Cheryl was very responsive and we got this resolved. Hopefully the check-in instructions regarding this part can be made a little more clear for future guests. We would definitely book this property again - so close to Alpine and Palisades, which was the main reason for our trip!

Great Location

Very Cute Home and Lots of "Tahoe" Decor. Property was clean and very comfortable. Not a lot of counter space though due to the excessive decor. After paying top dollar for this place, I wasn't aware that we weren't supposed to sleep in some of the beds. Whaaaa? Kinda weird. Cheryl is a lovely person but kept calling all weekend to see how we were doing and instructing me on how to use the hot tub because all the jets were not working properly. Tub drained and I found myself crawling under the deck outside, in snow, to turn on the water, then waiting for the water to heat up. Light switches everywhere and hard to find, Tv also way too much of a struggle. I have rented homes in Tahoe for the past 25 years, and this, was definitely an odd experience. We left the place clean and on time, key in lock box.

Memorable rustic relaxation with the comforts of home

Bear Cabin was a dream! We had 10 people that met there to celebrate a milestone birthday and it far exceeded our expectations for the rustic, but lush getaway cabin in the woods. The house itself was quaint, but spacious. Everywhere you turned was a cute detail you hadn't noticed before. The accommodations were very comfortable. We were able to spread out without everyone being on top of each other. There were several different outdoor locations and living spaces inside that afforded us the opportunity to congregate in several places. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we could need. The available storage had me shocked and jealous. The kitchen offered itself to wonderful open conversation and a great space to prepare and enjoy a large family style meal. And three full bathrooms were amazing for a large group. Every square inch was used to it's best capacity. The attention to detail across the board was a high point, for sure. But what we enjoyed the most was the outdoor space. As you drive through the area, you notice that properties around Lake Tahoe, and Tahoe City specifically, are mostly right on top of each other. Not Bear Cabin. The house sits back on a large parcel of land and while you could see neighbors in the distance from the front of the house, the majority of the living space is secluded and private. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and impeccably maintained. The deck surrounding the house is massive. There were at least 5 separate sitting areas outside, including the wonderful fire pit and hot tub. Indoor lighting had dimmers. Outdoor lighting was ample. Seating was abundant. The only downside to our stay was we never quite figured out the outdoor speakers. One suggestion I would make would be to have a master house binder or notebook for guests that includes all of the house instructions, guidelines, rules, wifi and nearby attractions, such as trails or local hangouts. Cheryl was available and offered a great deal of guidance. Thank you Cheryl and your family for sharing your lovely home! Your hospitality and warm regard made it so special. It was the perfect base for our dream Tahoe vacation.

Worst rental experience

Beware of staying here. On the whole, the house is nice, but our group has had a terrible time dealing with the host before and after our stay and the house is not worth the aggravation that comes with renting this property. In terms of the house: The house isn’t located in town as the listing suggests - it’s a 10 minute drive/40 minute walk away. We tried to cancel our booking when it came to our attention that the location was misrepresented but we were told 'we should have googled that the property is where it said it was on the listing.' The third “bedroom” is actually a basement, so it offers no privacy. There are cameras watching you. The house is full of items that people have left there over the years - half eaten condiments, used toiletries - creating a lot of clutter and requiring a good clean. Regarding the host: The host is unhelpful and unresponsive. Prior to our rental it would take days or sometimes more than a week for her to respond to us. She's listed the house as sleeping 10 - though it will comfortably sleep 12! - but if you add any more than 4 guests, the cost goes up astronomically. There are cameras outside (and maybe inside?) the house that she doesn’t disclose, which is a huge violation of privacy. We are a group of 30-year-old+ accountants and other business professionals with an affinity for travelling - between us we've stayed in dozens of vacation rental home stays and none of us have experienced a host like Cheryl. Following our stay she was swift in notifying us that she had "proof" - likely the aforementioned cameras for monitoring guests - that we had additional guests at the property (we admit we had some friends over, but they did not stay the night). She has tried to charge us for additional overnight guests (that did not exist) and has said we damaged the property despite the house being left in the same condition as when we arrived. Cheryl's property is beautiful, but her actions have been vindictive in nature and we encourage anyone to find accommodations elsewhere in Tahoe.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Sept 2023
In response to the review submitted we would like to say that first of all the customer: The renter Hilary booked last year in September 2021 and had ample time to cancel if the property did not meet her needs however she waited until after the 60 days to ask us to give her a full refund and cancel her reservation. She also mentioned the sleeping accommodations however she only paid for 5 guests so there was no need for her to use the first floor bedroom. There were bedrooms upstairs that would more than accommodate them. Hilary also stated that the additional guest charge was astronomical. The additional guest charges were only $50 a night per guest per night and she did not want to pay that for the additional guests that she wanted. And when we provided her with the price for the additional guests she stated that it was too much money. Hilary also stated that we had cameras outside and that she was not notified of this per VRBO. The Tahoe cabins have experienced numerous break ins from bears and there is an alarm that goes off when they attempt entry. We are allowed to have cameras outside and even have cameras in the home provided they're not in the bedroom or the bathroom. I only have the cameras outside by the entry doors because we have had several bears try to break into the home when no one was there. This way we can monitor outside in case a bear does try to get in or succeeds in getting in. In addition Hilary was notified through VRBO and in an email that only the 5 guests staying at the cabin were allowed to be on the property. No additional guests were allowed. On the 1st night they were there 14 people at the home at 2:35 in the morning and Hilary continued to have more than the allotted amount of people that were staying there on the property during her stay. Hilary also stated that we had poor communication but I continually answered all of her 30 plus emails in a timely manner including the request that she put through on VRBO. Hilary also stated stated that we filed a claim for damages to the property. Yes we did. The damages are being handled through the insurance. We did everything possible to accommodate her and answered every question that she had except for canceling her reservation. Also in addition she had people smoking outside when her contract clearly stated no smoking at all on the property indoors or out. I am sorry but I would not recommend renting any property to this person she is very difficult to deal with and obviously ignores the rules. Read my multitude of reviews and they will tell you what an incredibly wonderful place the Tapawingo Bear Cabin is. I invite you to check for yourself!! Sent from my iPhone
