About this property

Starry Skies - West Shore Cabin. Walk to Private Beach. DOG OK

While conveniently located near all the action, you wouldn't know it by the amount of quiet and privacy enjoyed here. Leave the car and walk to Tahoe House for a cup of the best coffee in town, or take a stroll into Tahoe City to check out concerts in the park or the many dining options. Regardless of the season, the location is perfect for active families, romantic getaways, or a retreat to rest and recharge. If that wasn't enough, this quintessential Tahoe cabin, offers HIGHLY sought after private beach access only utilized by a small number of residents at the Tahoe Sierra Estates beach. Walk right out the back yard, and the beach entrance is just a short walk away.

A functional and efficient floor plan, you enter the house directly into the kitchen. Though basic, it provides the necessary space and tools to feed your clan. Around the corner an updated living area centers around a cozy wood fireplace and multiple dining tables ensure everyone as a comfortable place to eat. In the warmer months, most will be drawn to the back deck area where filtered lake views and towering pines create the ideal setting for evening BBQs.

This Tahoe City cabin is set up to accommodate family gatherings and with seven sleeping areas, it does just that. Upon entering the west end of the home houses three simple guest rooms that share a full bath. With a king, double, and bunk bed there are options for every scenario. On the east end, a similar hall offers three additional rooms with a king, double, and twin singles divided among the rooms. These rooms also share a full bathroom. Have teens or young adults that could use a little more space? No problem. Send the downstairs where a TV sitting area, full bath, and bunk beds provide the perfect teen hang out.

Visitors with mobility concerns will appreciate that the majority of this vacation home (aside form the aforementioned downstairs family room) sits at one level, without stairs to navigate.

Very comfortable home in a great location. Plenty of space to accomodate a large group. It was perfect for our group of 3 adults and 8 teenagers. An easy walk to the lake to enjoy sunrises and sunsets. And an easy drive to Alpine Meadows. Property manager was very responsive when there was an electrical problem.

Great location and comfortable beds. Place is a bit rustic but reasonable for location and price. The beach access is nice. Since there was no air conditioning they could provide a few more fans for hot summer days.

Perfect space to relax with friends and loved ones!

We had a great stay at this property, it was perfect for what we were looking for. My spouse and I, plus a few friends (other couples), stayed here for a ski weekend at Palisades and to spend time in downtown Tahoe City. Everything was as advertised online, and it was nice for each couple to have their own space (thanks to the multiple bedrooms) but be able to gather in the beautiful living room and open kitchen. Check in was easy, and location was great for what we were looking for. You cannot walk to downtown Tahoe City (maybe you could- but the roads were busy), but it is a quick ride. Very easy to find the house and a large accessible driveway. Would stay here again!

We had a very frustrating experience with our stay, primarily due to the negligence of the property manager, Tahoe Getaways. When we arrived on Friday afternoon, we found that a bear had broken into the house and a sheet of plywood had been hastily screwed in over the window, leaving a large air gap. We called and the property manager, who somehow seemed to have no notes or knowledge about the condition, and they sent someone out to seal the window. However, we later realized that the room was unsafe (possibly illegal) to occupy because it would be impossible to escape out of the window in case of emergency. We felt we had no other option but to stay and someone slept in the living room. The refrigerator was also broken and a second fridge was placed in the dining room, which was inconvenient. When I requested a partial refund, they said I would be required to sign a settlement agreement (which would not allow me to leave this review) that I wasn't comfortable with for a 10% refund. They also wanted to charge us for early check in and late check out, even though no one was was staying in the cabin before or after us. They were a bit more flexible about this though. Aside from these issues, the house is dated, though comfortable. The upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms are very small.

We understand that the broken window was frustrating, and we did our best to address the issue promptly by sending someone to seal it. Unfortunately, our staff encountered rude and inappropriate behavior by this guest, including swearing over the phone, despite our efforts to assist. We want future guests to know that the window is scheduled to be fully repaired at the end of March, and this issue should not occur again. While the cabin is older and some areas are small, we strive to provide a comfortable stay and handle any problems as quickly as possible. We appreciate feedback but also ask for respectful communication with our team.

The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked for a vacation rental. There were plenty of dishwashing pods as well as laundry pods, along with hand soft soap, body soap, shampoo & conditioner. Lots of cooking utensils as well as a salad spinner. The washer & dryer are new & very large. There are plenty of knives but they are not very sharp. We always bring our own knives. There was planety of space for 7 people with two little kids. The inside of the cabin was very clean but the outside was covered with a green dust from the pine trees so the first thing we did was to sweep the deck so we wouldn't track in the pine dust. They did provide two brooms but I would recommend bringing a portable electric vacume as we did for a long stay. The private beach is only three cabins away but it is closed to guests on Fridays & Saturdays. The beach provides racks to store your paddle board or kayak. There is a great bakery & grocery store only a few minutes away on foot. It is located on a court so it is very quiet.

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're delighted to hear you found the home well stocked and comfortable for your group, and that you appreciated the kitchen supplies, laundry amenities, and spacious layout. It’s also great to know you enjoyed the peaceful location, nearby bakery and grocery store, and easy access to the private beach. We appreciate your feedback regarding the kitchen knives and the pine pollen on the deck. During certain times of the year, the pine trees can leave a noticeable layer of pollen outdoors, and while we do our best to keep exterior spaces tidy, Mother Nature can move quickly! We're glad the provided brooms were helpful, and we'll also take a look at the condition of the knives. Thank you again for choosing Tahoe Getaways. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay in Tahoe!

Falsely advertised, poor communication from management, very dirty, broken items throughout house, not enough towels, asked us to start laundry before leaving, Do not book this house! Was told private beach and pier. However, hoa changed so guest can’t use either on weekends. Worst VRBO experience ever!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear your stay did not meet your expectations. For the benefit of future guests, we do want to clarify that the HOA recently implemented restrictions limiting guest access to the private beach and pier on Fridays and Saturdays. While these rules are established by the HOA and are outside of Tahoe Getaways' control, we updated the listing to disclose this information as soon as we were made aware of the change. We also appreciate your comments regarding the home's cleanliness, inventory, and maintenance. Guest feedback is taken seriously and has been shared with our housekeeping and maintenance teams for review. Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you all the best.
