About this property

Charming 1930's cottage on the lake side of Highway 89 in Sunnyside, Lake Tahoe

This darling cabin is perfectly situated in Sunnyside and is just few minutes walk to the private beach, with lake views from our front lawn. Features include a cozy living room with pass-through access to the kitchen. The living and dining room is adorned with a stone gas fireplace, knotty pine walls, carved beams, beautiful wood floors, and rustic pine railings. The darling kitchen is complete with a 1930's original Wedgewood stove.

The master bedroom, with dormer window knotty pine paneling, features a walk-in closet, and a queen sized bed. The second upstairs bedroom includes two double beds, perfect for 2 adults or 4 children. On the first floor, there is a third bedroom with another queen sized bed, which can sleep 1-2 additional guests. (There is also a "flip-flop mattress" in the upstairs closet to accommodate one additional child/teen on the floor, if needed. We also have a "Pak and Play" for tiny ones). In sum, you can easily sleep 6 adults, and a couple more littles if needed.

Drink your morning coffee on the charming front deck, overlooking the beautiful grassy front lawn, and watch the world go by. The backyard is fully enclosed with picnic table seating, a barbecue and a relaxing hammock under the trees.

Your Tahoe retreat is complete with 4 bicycles and helmets (we are right along the bike path!) as well as two kayaks with double-ended paddles-- Note: use both bikes and/or kayaks at your own risk. Most importantly, cottage rental includes key access to Tahoe Park private beach and recreation facilities, such as: beach volleyball, kids playground, horseshoes, basketball hoop, picnic tables and lakeside barbecues. .

For winter guests we are just a few minutes drive to Homewood, Alpine Meadows and Granlibakken Ski and Sled Hill.

**** Responsible pet owners -and potty trained cats and dogs- are allowed. An extra deposit and fee will apply. ****

Sunnyside is the perfect location for all occasions. Walk to Sunnyside Resort, with its live music and sunset dinners. Dinner at Spoon Restaurant is walking distance and never disappoints! Also walking distance is the awesome Westshore Market and the best breakfasts and lunches at nearby Firesign Café.
There is also nearby boat and Seadoo rentals. Easy bike ride to Tahoe City and Truckee river. Short drive to Emerald Bay. We have a binder at the cabin with even more great recommendations!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We had a great long weekend at the 1930's cottage. Excellent location: 5 minute walking to the lake, nice coffee/grocery store, and a short drive to ski resorts. The house had everything we were looking for. Comfortable and quiet bedrooms, lovely living room, and the kitchen has everything you need (we loved the old stove). The house feels more like a place that the owner enjoys, rather than a rental with no charm. The fenced yard was great for the dogs. Communication was also super easy with the owner.

Only stayed two days, and it was perfect. Wonderful cabin, fully stocked with anything needed. Beds are very comfortable, having a fireplace was amazing. Amazing location 10 minute walk or 2 mi drive to Sunnyside, Tahoe park, Firesign, and Westshore Market. Hosts were incredibly gracious, highly recommended this property.

Great location I was going to a wedding at sunnyside. Cozy cabin but not super clean.

Cozy Cottage

We had a great time and the location was perfect. The yard was very nice and the lake was walking distance. The beach park at the lake was very very nice and the few restaurants and deli were awesome. Fire Sign cafe was really good. We loved the place and was nice and cozy and the family had a great experience.

Perfect location and fun amenities!

We stayed with our family of five and had ample accommodations along with enjoying the property’s proximity to Lake Tahoe. We especially enjoyed the kayaking and private Beach Club access! The kitchen and living space was tight, as expected,, but we spent so much time outside in the back yard and at the lake we made it work. Perfect space and spot for a family getaway!
