Well appointed with (everything you need) and comfortable. Worked well for our group of 2 families, each with one kid. Kids shared the twin bedroom upstairs and each couple had a room. Loved being able to walk to restaurants, stores, and lake. Snow shoes, sled, and ice cleats (not to mention the nice fenced yard and wonderful hot tub) were all appreciated.

What a great cabin. We loved it so much. The backyard was perfect for the kids and dog to play. Location was awesome and so close to the lake and Northstar where we skied. The kitchen was well appointment and overall the cabin was very cozy and had just what we needed. We will definitely stay there again.

Third times a charm

This is the 3rd year we have stayed in this house. The owner is amazing to work with. He has always answered all my stupid little questions so fast and sweet. It is a beautiful walk to the beach and there is a great coffee spot right at the end of the walk. Very enjoyable and each year has been a little better. And our dogs love it too:)

Lovey home

This home was so well kept with so much thought into what guests might be needing during the stay. They are so detail oriented everything, and all instructions were posted or communicated via Alexa. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay from the foosball table in in the first floor to the fire pit in the back yard. It was a very convenient and fun walk to Kings beach. Katie even treated us with a free pizza dinner for our family as a nice gesture for our delayed flight. Would go back any day!!

Thanksgiving getaway

This property was exactly what we needed. It was close to everything. We were able to walk from the house to amazing trails just a few blocks away. It snowed the first night we were there and and our dogs loved it. We had a bear walk right in front of the cabin the second day. The design of the cabin is great and stylish and extremely clean! It was plenty big enough for five adults and two dogs. The owners were great in answering any questions. We just loved our stay and are sad to leave. We would definitely stay here again!

Created wonderful family memories

I can’t count the number of times we have stayed at Jacob and Katie’s cabin . It’s always a wonderful experience . The location is great ! We walk to kings beach and have pizza at whitecaps. Sand Harbor is a short drive away and sailing in Tahoe City is always fun . Lots of miniature golfing with the kids and yummy ice cream afterwards . The kitchen was great and we made delicious breakfast and bbq. The kids loves the foosball table ! Thanks again !

Practically perfect in every way

Every short term rental should be like this one. Terrific communication with the host. Cabin was in perfect condition. Walking distance to the lake and they even had a wagon you could use with chairs, paddle boards and a kayak. Inside there are games, football table and a fully stocked kitchen. If I could complain about anything, the BBQ grill was not the best, but there was one and the steaks came out great. Didn’t use the hot tub, but it was available and ready to go. I’d stay here again for sure.

North Tahoe Paradise

Our stay at the Enchanted Bear Cabin reflected everything that we love about coming to Lake Tahoe summer after summer. Friendly, relaxing, welcoming with a distinct pride for the lake. The cabin had everything that we needed from plenty of cookware and spices to beach chairs for the lake and beds that slept right. Katie was extremely communicative prior to our arrival and throughout our stay. She also kept us in the know of local events to attend during the week! We walked down to Kings Beach almost every morning (less than 10 minutes) to catch the early breeze off the lake with a coffee from Java Hut and enjoyed our time at night seeing the brilliant stars from the cabins deck at night. They really thought of everything for this cabin, highly recommended it for a lovely summer stay!

Wonderful experience and SO CUTE

Loved this spot! Arrival was super easy, and the house was very quaint and decorated very beautifully. We arrived in winter and the kids (being from Hawaii and seeing snow for the first time) immediately, and joyfully, flew into the yard to make snow angels and make snowballs. We used the hot tub every night and were conveniently able to walk into town to Java Hut for coffee. They had everything we needed to cook meals at the home and perfect space for 3 kids and 3 adults. The only constructive feedback I have is that the water pressure in the bathroom showers is light and the walls are pretty thin so if some people like to stay up later than others (if there are light sleepers) it may not be ideal but overall absolutely adored the place and would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Comfort and convenience in King's Beach

My friends and I stayed at "The Enchanted Bear" property in King's Beach over President's Day weekend in 2022. The size was perfect for the four of us! We loved that it featured a carport, had a fenced-in yard, and an easy-to-use hot tub :). The house was well-stocked with all kinds of kitchen items, plus nice towels and bathroom amenities. The bedrooms were nice and comfy, too. What I really enjoyed was hanging out in the living room talking, having some wine, and watching movies. I've stayed at quite a few properties in this area in the past, but I'd say this one was super convenient--near a ski/snowboard equipment rental shop, around the corner from the Safeway, and walking distance to the lake and a bunch of restaurants on the main strip in King's Beach. It was also very close to Northstar, where we went on Sunday, and not too far (1/2 hour) from Palisades, where we skied on Saturday. Katie and Jacob were super communicative hosts who made us feel welcome and provided plenty of useful information to make check-in / check-out quite easy. I highly recommend this property for a group of 3 - 5 adults or one medium-to-large family. Can't wait to return!!!

Winter Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Katie and Jacob’s home. We were a party of 6 adults with one baby (1.5 years old), and there was plenty of room for us. It had everything we needed for a nice weekend stay - towels, toiletries, cookware, board games. Parking was easy in the carport and it was very clean. Their home is walking distance from Kings beach and many restaurants, and there was also a Safeway nearby. There is a nice fenced in yard and a wonderful hot tub to relax in during the day and night. Katie and Jacob were quick to respond to questions ahead of time and provided lots of information to make our stay perfect. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a nice vacation!!

Great cabin in the mountains right next to the lake

My family of 4 stayed here over Christmas and had a blast. We had intended to ski at Northstar but because of all of the snow we received we only made it 1 day. With record level snowfall we still had a blast playing outside. My daughter loved the hot tub! The back yard is perfect for sledding as well it has a built in slope down so it made it really easy to build her a sledding hill. The kitchen has everything that you would need and the beds were surprisingly comfortable for a rental property. They had sleds, snowball makers, and snow shovels - literally anything you need. I want to come back in the summer now. This is going to be our go-to spot when we want to stay on the north side of Lake Tahoe.

About the host

Hosted by Katie Thompson

Host profile image
I have always found adventure throughout my life - hopped freight trains across the country, lived in a treehouse 100 ft up in the redwoods during college, and pedaled a bicycle from Alaska to Argentina from 2006-2010. I currently work as a brand director for a company that makes high powered bike and scuba dive lights and am dreaming of the next adventure.

Why they chose this property

Fell in love with the Kings Beach area, the amazing bike trails are right in the backyard, the beautiful days at the lake swimming or playing volleyball - the sense of community in the neighborhood is great.

What makes this property unique

Walkable to everything needed for a vacation! 10 minute walk to the Lake, 5 minute walk to bike/hike trails. An cozy neighborhood, and there's a great sense of community. Surrounded by some of the most perfect scenery imaginable, everybody is inspired to get out and be active. Tahoe Forest is beautiful, even bears roam the area.
