About this property
Lake Tahoe Retreat - Cozy 2BR Cottage with Fire Pit & Views
Bask in the tranquil mountain atmosphere of the West Shore at Mallard Cottage, a newly updated 2-bedroom cottage nestled a short walk from the beach and a one-minute drive from Homewood Mountain Resort. Ideal for a family or small group, the home is part of Cedar Crest Cottages, a historic vacation retreat attracting visitors since the 1930s.
*Please be advised that this home does not have air conditioning.
Mallard is located just above the community fire pit, offering filtered lake and mountain views. The convenient, open layout features living space on the upper level and two bedrooms on the lower level. The living area, cheerfully styled in lodge decor with wood-paneled walls and hardwood floors, is designed to comfortably accommodate longer stays, including working vacations.
Two bedrooms offer king-sized beds, one with the flexible accommodation option to convert to two extra-long twin beds upon request.
As a guest of Cedar Crest Cottages, you’ll enjoy access to a community BBQ grill and oversized fire pit with lake and mountain views. In the summer, stroll to the beach across the street for swimming, sailing and boating on the lake; or hike through the surrounding mountains. In the winter, drive less than two minutes to the family-friendly Homewood Mountain Resort, or just 25 minutes to the varied terrain of Olympic Valley.
From its prime location on Lake Tahoe’s West Shore, Mallard Cottage offers a modern, comfortable place to call home while you explore the area’s state parks, trails, slopes and beaches. The restaurants, shopping and entertainment of Tahoe City is just 10 minutes away.
Please be advised that the firepit is seasonal and is not operational during the winter months due to the heavy snowfall.
Placer County STVR Compliance Requirements.
Daytime Occupancy: 6
Nighttime Occupancy (begins at 9pm): 4
Parking: 1 assigned parking spot
TOT No. 84629
