2BR home w/ fireplace & large deck

Snow-dusted pines, quiet mountain air, and the soft glow of firelight set the tone as you arrive at this character-filled Tahoe home in Cedar Flat. Winter days unfold slowly here - mornings with coffee by the window as flakes drift past, afternoons spent exploring the North Shore, and evenings gathered indoors while the wood-burning stove crackles nearby. The setting feels calm and tucked away, with filtered lake views and a sense of history woven into every corner.

The home reflects California’s early mountain spirit, with antique touches and old western artifacts that give each room a story of its own. The main living area centers around the wood-burning stove and plush seating, creating a natural place to relax after a day outdoors. A TV provides easy entertainment, while a cozy reading nook under the stairs invites you to settle in with a good book as the snow falls outside. Heating throughout the home keeps things comfortable during colder months.

Kitchen and dining
The kitchen is designed for guests who enjoy cooking, featuring generous counter space and a professional-style Wolfe gas range beneath a vaulted ceiling. With a full kitchen and dining table, you can prepare unrushed meals and gather together without leaving the warmth of the house.

Sleeping arrangements
Sleeping spaces are thoughtfully spread across levels for comfort and privacy. On the entry level, a bedroom with a Queen bed sits near a full bathroom. Upstairs, the loft offers two Twin beds, ideal for kids or additional guests. The upstairs bedroom features a King bed, a small TV, and a charming window alcove. A 3/4 bathroom serves the upper level.

Outdoor living and lake access
A large deck extends the living space outdoors, even in winter, where you can step out to breathe in the crisp mountain air and take in filtered lake views. A grassy area surrounds the home once the snow melts, and guests have access to a homeowners association lakeside picnic area and shared pier for loading and unloading boats. The CFIA beach is about half a mile away. A propane BBQ is available seasonally and is not provided from November to Memorial Day.

Practical details
The home includes washer and dryer, WiFi (availability is not guaranteed due to the mountain location), and a dedicated workspace for light remote needs. Self check-in is available via lockbox. The property does not have air conditioning.

Pet and winter considerations
This home is pet-friendly for dogs only. Prior approval is required for more than one dog. All dogs must be at least one year old, crate trained if left unattended, and a fee of $100 plus tax per dog applies. Guests must be at least 25 years old to rent. In winter, All Wheel Drive, 4WD, or chains are highly recommended, and chains or snow tires are often required.

Neighborhood and local rules
Located in a quiet mountain neighborhood, the home is subject to Placer County short-term rental regulations, including enforced quiet hours from 9 PM to 8 AM, leash requirements for dogs, and designated on-site parking (4 spaces), no street parking. This is a short-term rental only, offering a peaceful Tahoe stay rooted in history and suited for wintertime comfort.
