Sweet cabin in perfect location for our family and dog. Best dog beach just minutes out the back door. Loved the quiet neighborhood, fenced yard. House was cozy but we like that vibe. Fully equipped kitchen and bathrooms, comfortable beds. Definitely don’t miss the bakery down the road!! Highly recommend this cabin!!

We rent pet friendly properties often to share adventures with our two active pups. This property was wonderful for our visit - the yard is fully fenced as advertised with ample room for getting wiggles out. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely to explore. The lake and dog beach is a quick walk down a path right out the backyard fence exit. Highly recommend!

Cutest little cabin
We loved staying at this cabin! The house was always warm and the plowing services kept the roads and parking area nice and clean. The back yard has access to a trail that leads to the beach which was an added bonus!

Great stay
We really enjoyed our stay. This was our second time staying here. The first time was in the winter. It was even better in the summer! It was the perfect home for our family and two dogs. Loved that the home is fully fenced and just a short walk down the path to a dog friendly beach. Beds were comfortable.

Cute cabin, great location!
The place was clean, very conveniently located both near Tahoe City, ski resorts and right by the water - the trail behind the house to the water is nice and dog friendly. There are stairs that go up without side railing, if you travel with toddler be mindful of watching the kiddo or consider bringing a baby gate.

We really enjoyed our stay at this Lake Forest home. It was perfect for our little family of 3 and two small dogs. The home was very clean and well equipped. The location of this home is perfect with proximity to town and the lake. I’d love to go back when there’s less snow so we can actually utilize the trail leading to the lake! Thank you for a wonderful stay and we’re hoping to be back!

By the Lake
Well stocked with all of your essentials. Cabin organized. Sofa and bed comfortable and two bathrooms a plus. The fenced yard and close access to the lake was the reason for choosing this cabin. Our dog enjoyed checking out the yard. Nice patio to sit under the trees.Great bike/walkway to Tahoe City. Good places to eat.
Carpet should be replaced with tile, many stains from previous tenets. Otherwise, a great place to stay.

Fabulous!
We're becoming regular annual visitors to Jerry's place. The location's ideal for the activities we enjoy (dog friendly beach out the back door, bike path out the front) and the fenced property is perfect for a playful pup. There are always fresh linens, towels (including beach), blankets, soap, and shampoo, and the location is peaceful and quiet for a good night of sleep. The only issue I have isn't with the accommodation, but with VRBO's unreasonably high fees. Otherwise, this is a fabulous place to stay, check-in/out is easy, and communication is good.

MARVELOUS COTTAGE
Having recently had spinal surgery, hubby took me away to recuperate. Couldn't have had a better cottage in the woods. We stayed 10 days & never went out to eat. Terrific kitchen, well stocked with everything you could possibly need & more. Extremely comfy beds, washer & dryer a definite plus. Great sofas (i spent a lot of time on them!) and the TV was fantastic, good cable. Wonderful location, close to Safeway, cute coffee place down the street, safe neighborhood & restaurants (if you so choose). The best is the really close dog & people park on the lake. Beyond lovely, my favorite part. Nice fenced, secure yard for our dog. He was happy too! Easy check in & super rapid response from owner. Highly recommend.

Great location
The place is in a good location with easy access to the lake. The beds were comfy but only one was maybe a queen— the others are double.Generally the bathrooms and kitchen were clean, but the carpets in the living area are heavily stained, and there’s an odor in the house. I’m surprised that the carpets are still there given how stained they are. It’s gross.When we arrived, the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes. Not a big deal — we ran it and unloaded. Just not a great way to start our trip.The rubber rim in the washing machine is also moldy and smells.Some simple upgrades would make this place closer to a 5-star. Only the location saves it for us.

We value this feedback and sincerely apologize that our rare policy to allow our guests to travel with their lovely four-legged family members means there is more traffic at our cabin. We just had professional rug cleaners in, so were quite surprised by persistent issues. I personally came and addressed all the problems you referenced in the review and spoke to our cleaners about your other issues—thank you and apologies again! The cabin is our dream home, and we always hope guests are able to love it as much as we do.
As for bed sizes: we clearly mark on the site which two rooms contain double beds and which one contains a queen and recently changed out all mattresses.

Wonderful accommodation!
This was my second stay at Jerry's place and the location is perfect. Off the main road, quiet and walkable neighborhood with a dog-friendly beach out the back door and bike path access out the front. Jerry hasn't overlooked anything you might need including plenty of towels and linens. Understanding that dogs join their owners here, my only negative comment would be the urine stains on the carpet and the smell of urine - not overpowering and nothing I don't think a professional deep cleaning couldn't address. Coming at the end of summer after lots of use is probably a factor as well. Jerry is prompt to respond if there's a question or issue. Looking forward to returning again!

Perfect location
The location is perfect. Loved how close it is to town while still away from the crowds. Loved the short backyard trail directly to the beach.
The yard is completely enclosed for privacy and for the dogs to run free. However, there's no lock for the front or back fence. While we were there, people we weren't expecting let themselves in on 3 occasions. This would've been a problem if our dogs were free in the yard at the time.
The yard itself is beautifully maintained, but there's lots of ants and mosquitoes so we didn't use the yard much.
Since it was only my fiance, me, and our 2 dogs, we didn't use the second floor. Everything we needed was downstairs. There's no AC unit, just heating, but even though we rented during summer, the place was never hot.
Other reviews mentioned a stained carpet and an odor. Yes, it's definitely there. The hosts provided candles and odor absorbers, but you can definitely tell dogs have peed inside.
The previous renters filled up the outside trash bin. We were told that we had to wait until trash collection day before we could use it. And since there's bears in the area, we had to keep our trash in the house with us. It didn't help with the odor, but this was out of the host's control.
That being said, I'd still consider booking here again.

This home is exactly as described and you can’t beat a dog friendly beach out the back door and the bike path out the front. Plenty of extras like pillows, blankets, towels, soap, and shampoo and conditioner. Having a washer and dryer is a plus. Check-in and out was a breeze and when I needed to communicate with Jerry, he was prompt and accommodating. My dog and I had a perfect time and I plan to return!

Better Cleaning & Stocking will make it a 5
The communication with Jerry was prompt & friendly. I locked myself out & he responded within minutes. I was back in within minutes.
The house is very cute and for the most part true to the listing.
Some room for improvement:
1) it's a dog rental as well & we did bring our dogs. I cleaned up after my dogs. Unfortunately, other tenants who were before me did not. Also, the cleaning services didn't either. Makes playing in the snow, not as fun within the property.
2) it has a wonderful fenced-in backyard but unfortunately, the main shovel was buried under a block of ice. A previous tenant broke the other shovel into pieces (plastic) so there was nothing to clear doorways from snow or pick up dog poop (I improvised).
3) the beds are small for two standard adults. I'd guess all 3 beds were Fulls at best.
4) unfortunately cleaning services didn't finish the laundry from the previous tenants so there was a large pile of sheets & blankets still pending wash in the washroom. There was also a load in the dryer which kept erroring out the cycle. It was hard to reach the dials given it was stacked. There was no step stool to reach the controls.
5) wonderful kitchen, dishwasher, & range. I cooked all the meals at home. Well stocked but make sure to bring tinfoil & ziplock just in case.
6) no DVD player & limited tv controls... a must at night with kids. I must have misread the listing because I brought movies with us to watch thinking there was a DVD player.
7) loved their leather couches, especially in a dog rental. This makes for a cleaner experience.
8) the bathrooms were not properly stocked. Similar to a hotel when you check-in, you expect a refreshed roll of everything. Restocked essentials. They did have supplies on hand in the washroom but I had to restock myself. Not a major issue but one has to question how well cleaning services really put in effort given some basics are not complete.
9) the central heating system was excellent. Unfortunately, the woodburning stove had a broken seal on the door so we were not able to use this item of the house.
10) the neighborhood is a mix of business and residential. We attending in a slight off season so it was very very quiet in the neighborhood, at the lake & snow park. It was a quick walk to the lake with the dogs.
This is a very cute rental & with some cleaning services upgrades & a few repairs of the house, this could be a 5 star.
