About this property

Cabin in the Woods

This clean comfortable off the grid family cabin in the woods is the perfect Tahoe National Forest escape (on the west side of Tahoe National Forest about 1.5 hours away from Truckee and 1.75 hours from Lake Tahoe). Enjoy grilling during summer months or staying warm by the wood burning stove on snowy winter nights. We have a variety of games, puzzles, books, & DVDs for your entertainment. With nearby trails, dirt bike riding, lakes, hunting and shooting areas this cabin is a great home base for all your mountain adventures year round. Open floor plan with 2 bedrooms and a third room that can be used as a private bedroom or a family room. There is one bathroom in the cabin and one in a little room that is accessible from outside for muddy boots, fish and all the messy stuff that comes with fun. This cabin does not have electric service so it runs off a propane fired generator. Don't worry, I will be there to show you how to use it and in a minute you will forget that you are not connected to the power company.

0.3 miles to Tahoe National Forest - Hiking & hunting
1.4 miles to Sugar Pine Reservoir - Fishing & slow speed boating
3.5 miles to National Forest Shooting area – Target practice
5.1 miles to Sugar Pine OHV Staging Area - Dirt bikes & quads
11.9 miles to China Wall Snowmobile Staging - Snowmobiles
17.4 miles to Foresthill - dinning, shopping & nightlife
Trees and wood stoves to meet your heart’s content. 2+ Bedrooms (family room can be a bedroom) with enough space for a large family of 7 with the Plus 1s and mini me’s. I know this from experience. We have comfortably hosted 10 people. This cabin is off-grid but you will have every modern convenience you have become accustomed to including internet (DSL) and cell phone service (when connected to the internet).

The kitchen has a Keurig machine as well as a 12-cup coffee maker. We have supplied Day-1 coffee for the 12-cup coffee maker with powdered creamer and sugar cubes but please bring your own Keurig Coffee and additional supplies.

For your convenience, we have absorbed the Transient Taxes and Cleaning Fees into the daily rental so you know exactly what we are charging. I am sorry, I have not control over VRBO fees.

We have 2 security camaras, one at the front door facing the entry and parking area and one on the shed facing the front yard area. We ask that guests disconnect the camaras upon arrival for their privacy and to not drive us crazy with notifications. If guests do not deactivate the camaras, I promise, we will.
