We recently stayed at this cabin in South Lake Tahoe and had a fantastic experience. The home was incredibly comfortable and fully equipped with everything needed to make my wife's and my stay relaxing and enjoyable. A huge thank you to the owners, Dan and Heidi, who were great and very attentive to every detail. We felt very well taken care of and would highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a comfortable getaway.
We had a wonderful stay here. Dan and Heidi were wonderful hosts and were very responsive. The cabin is lovely and has everything a family could need to an extended stay. The home is conveniently located near all the main attractions around Lake Tahoe and great restaurants. It is also located in a nice private community away from the business around the lake. I Would definitley recommend staying here.

We had a excellent vacation. The cabin was in good condition. And it was in excellent location evening was up to 10 minutes drive. Area was so quiet. The host was prepared evening for our stay. They were reachable and were abele to fix "problems" quickly. Highly recommend. 👍👍👍
This is a great house located near (5 minute walk) beautiful National Forest Land hiking & mountain biking trails. Also convenient to all of South Lake Tahoe. We had four adults sleeping separately, which was comfortable in the three bedrooms + loft. We would love to stay again!

Our family truly enjoyed our stay in this house.
Nestled among the pine trees near Lake Tahoe, this cozy chalet-style house offers a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The interior exudes warmth with its wood paneling, stone fireplace, and charming rustic decor. The bedrooms are comfortable, and the kitchen is well-equipped for preparing meals after a day of outdoor adventures. A truly relaxing and memorable getaway!

About the host
Hosted by Dan and Heidi Thomas
It has been our privilege to host guests at our home from all over the world. Fortunately, we found the area where our home is located, Montgomery Estates, after much searching for a home at Lake Tahoe. It was a perfect blend of a serene area and close to great trails. Centrally located to the lake, town and Heavenly Ski Resort makes it the perfect location. Having vacant space behind us and to one side (conservancy property), affords more privacy. We love the relaxation the mountains and forest provide, along with the beauty of Lake Tahoe to enjoy year-round.
Our favorite thing to do in the summer is boating on the Lake. Also, we love utilizing High Meadow Trailhead, a short walk from our home, for hiking. There are many great bike trails that we love within a short drive. If you like mountain biking, there are trails just a few blocks away from our home. During winter we love to snow-shoe at High Meadow Trailhead. Family members enjoy skiing at nearby Heavenly Resort, 10 minutes away.
Once you experience Montgomery Estates, you will fall in love with it too!
Why they chose this property
After vacationing in beautiful Lake Tahoe for many years, we decided that Tahoe was always going to be a special place for our family to enjoy for years to come. We started by staying in hotels, then purchased a timeshare at the Ridge Tahoe that we used throughout the year. Finally, we decided to find a home in a quiet, forested neighborhood, away from city noise, but close enough to enjoy the great Lake Tahoe amenities: Lake activities, casinos, shopping and skiing, without having to drive very far. Montgomery Estates was the answer, and we have loved vacationing here ever since. Check it out, and you'll see why this is such a special place at Lake Tahoe!
What makes this property unique
>Close to the Lake and Heavenly Ski Resort, a great central location >Short walking distance to High Meadow Trailhead for hiking and snow shoeing >Great hiking to Star Lake and Armstrong Pass from High Meadow Trailhead >Established Off-road ATV/mountain bike trails nearby >Large conservancy property behind and to one side of the cabin (no houses!) >Small sled hill that runs behind our property-loved by kids >Quiet neighborhood with minimal traffic >Close to miles of paved biking paths throughout South Lake Tahoe >CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING, which is rare at Lake Tahoe! >Well equipped kitchen >Spacious garage >Heated downstairs bathroom floor
