Lakefront Historic Tahoe Cabin | Private Beach + Views | Pet Friendly
*This cabin is pet friendly. * Max one pet allowed.*
This little red cabin was originally built in the 1920's and is still owned by the same family. Aside from the kitchen appliances, new TV's, new bedding, and furniture, not much has changed from the 20's when the house was built. You will experience a truly rare vacation staying in this little 3 bedroom cabin.
Step back in time and experience one of Lake Tahoe’s most unique stays—a rare, original 1920s lakefront cabin full of character, charm, and unforgettable views of the lake and Cave Rock.

Perfectly positioned right on the water, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers a small beach (water level dependent), stunning scenery, and a cozy, nostalgic atmosphere you simply won’t find in modern homes.
