For winter activities, just a few miles down the road you’ll find Homewood, Alpine Meadows, and Squaw Valley Ski Resorts. The Magical West Shore has great options for whatever you fancy: snowshoeing, snowboarding, downhill or cross-country skiing, sledding, and more!

Perfect stay!

We had a great time in this cozy home! It was perfectly situated between all of the things we wanted to do while in Lake Tahoe. Everything was very clean and the fireplace was the PERFECT touch for the first snow day of the season! The neighborhood is quiet and quaint. Would definitely recommend for a couples trip!

Cute Tahoe cabin

This was a great place to stay for a long weekend in Tahoe. The proximity to hiking trails and beaches made it easy to maximize on outdoor activities. The location is also very close to a market if you wish to cook for yourself rather than go out to eat. The property was very clean and cozy and stocked with the essentials to allow for a comfortable stay.

Listing accurately described home and matched listing photos. Great location, close to dinning options, out door activities and great little market close by. Bike paths nearby. Neighborhood was pretty quite. Home doesNot have dishwasher no biggie, however check out instructions do ask to leave cups in dishwasher but not one in place. Home was very clean and accommodating for small family. Would stay here again. Late check in 4pm and early check out 10am. Overall had a great stay!

Fantastic location and loved the property. The only slight complaint is that there are only two uncomfortable outside chairs on the deck. We would liked to have more comfortable outside seating to accommodate all of us.

Clean but simple.

Overall we had a lovely stay. The check out instructions say you can leave dishes in dishwasher. There’s no dishwasher and be sure to bring oven mitts and ice trays- we could find neither. Location is close to the lake and local store.

Family trip to Tahoe

We gather in Homewood with our family every year. We stayed in the Bear's Den in Tahoma which was only 4 miles from our gathering. It is also very close to Meeks Bay, where we met our adult kids and grandkids for the day. The Cabin was perfect for the two of us but would also accomondate another couple or kids if needed. Everything was clean and well stocked with the basics. We would stay there again.

Had everything you needed. Needed a bit of work on the property, following the winter, couple of broken fence panels and the winter shutters still up on one window. Inside the property was fantastic, had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Kitchen was well equipped with all the pans you would need.

Great value near homewood

This was a good value for the price as the location is very convenient to homewood. Our only complaint is the lack of a dishwasher, the loud noises from the heating unit, and the lack of two twins for kids (as opposed to one double in the 2nd bedroom). Otherwise it was clean and nice and I appreciate the quality of the cookware and dishes compared to other units

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
The retap company was pretty upright about a mistake I did by dinging an insurance for over 100 dollars and when I called them to say it was a mistake they were so strict about not returning it. It was a bit confusing as you are not renting from the owner as most other places do the rental agency charges you all the fees and rental and then separately Vrbo charges their fee do it made it pretty confusing and at the end pretty expensive for a house it’s not very well kept. The bathroom is ver updated with really old bathtub that is devoted, towels had homes in it. Kitchen did not had gloves to hold hot pots. We had to bring our own shampoo and creams and no wood not even for the first day the place was pretty cold so we had to turn up the heater. The dogs in the living room super uncomfortable to sit and watch TV while it rained outside. It’s not worth the price they charge for sure.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Jan 2026
Thank you for your message. As outlined at the time of booking and again on the Reservation Agreement, travel insurance is offered as an optional third-party product. Once purchased and activated, it becomes subject to the insurance provider’s terms and conditions, which unfortunately do not allow for refunds three weeks after purchase. This policy is set by the insurance company, not by us, and we are required to adhere to it. It is clear that the lack of refund for the OPT-IN Coverage overshadowed the rest of your experience
