Romantic! Quiet Neighborhood! Easy walk to Lake Tahoe

Take your next Lake Tahoe vacation to this beautifully restored cottage in Lake Forest. This cottage has a large open, cozy living room with a nice gas log fireplace and lots of windows that allows you to enjoy the lovely scenery that Tahoe offers and a peek of Lake Tahoe itself. The kitchen has modernized granite countertops, open to the great room and has the latest high-end appliances. The bedroom has a very comfortable King bed for a great night sleep after a long day at the beach in the sun or a long day skiing on the mountain.

From this North Shore location you are very conveniently located just one block from Lake Forest Beach and a short walk away from Skylandia Beach and Park. Take a nice bike ride, just under 2 miles, on a paved path to Tahoe City to find lots of fun shops and great dining. There are also three large resorts just a short drive away, approximately 10-15 miles. These resorts offer an abundance of fun winter and summer activities. If Nordic skiing and snowshoeing interests you, Tahoe Cross Country Ski area is a very short three minute drive.

The cottage is part of an original Lake Tahoe Estate. You have access to Lake Tahoe along a public path. The main house on the estate is rented full time and we ask that you respect the resident’s privacy. There are two dogs that live at the main residence and who, along with the human residents of the main house, may be seen around the property during your stay. The maximum stay at the Cottage is 7 nights.

Features:
* Gas log fireplaces
* Located close to 3 major ski resorts
* Yards from the beach
* Peek view of Lake Tahoe

Bedroom Configurations:
Bedroom 1: King

Location:
In the winter months you may want to venture out to the local ski spots like Northstar (14 miles away) and Alpine Meadows/Squaw Valley (8-9 miles away). On a summer day, you will be only a few minutes from beautiful lake beaches to soak up the sun or take a nice paddle on a kayak. You may choose to grab a latte and breakfast at the charming Old Post Office Coffee Shop or a hearty meal at Gar Woods Grill and Pier (5 miles). For a night out, explore the restaurants in Tahoe City (less than 5 miles) or travel 10 miles north to Crystal Bay in Nevada for cocktails and games of chance.

Parking:
Parking is available for 1 car total. All cars must park on the driveway. No street parking per county ordinance.
Prepare for mountain or winter weather driving in winter months. This may mean Four wheel drive with snow tires or chains. Check weather or road reports. AWD and 4WD necessary to get up the mountain roads and some driveways in the winter months.

Other things to Note:
* Renters must be 25+
* This is a non-smoking home.
* Pets are not allowed at this home.
* Maximum Occupancy per county ordinance is 2 adults. Please note: This is may not be suitable for children.
* Use of the BBQ is not guaranteed in winter months, due to limited access.
* Like most homes/condos in Tahoe, this one does not have Air Conditioning. There will be fans available for your use!

Stunning cottage
The cottage is story book. It is a destination in itself. Complete with charming timber features, shingle siding, windows everywhere (and a view of the lake), open beam ceilings, stone fireplace, hardwood floors, custom kitchen and appliances, and HUGE jacuzzi tub. The space is fully furnished with comfortable furniture that adds to the experience. The cottage is also fully fitted with dishes, linens, supplies, and household things we would not have expected to be included. The cottage is up a path away from the street; the neighborhood is quiet, away from traffic; there's a small beach 4 minutes down the street--clean and uncrowded-- where you can see the lake bottom through the spectacular clear water. The thriving center of town with food and activities is just 5 minutes away.

Cozy Cottage
Enjoyed the cottage for its generous room size, great location, safe surroundings, except for a paw print on my car. 😀 Hope to return. I’d recommend this place during temperate weather, probably not if it’s hot, as there’s no AC and windows may not be readily open if there’s much bear activity. Kayaking on the lake is extremely accessible, and Tahoe City close by. Nice spot!

Ski Trip Cabin
Overall it was really nice. It could have been cleaner overall. It also is dated and could use a better shower setup and a bigger tv for the evenings.

Nice size cabin for 2. Quiet off the beaten path neighborhood. Easy 2 block walk to lake beach and not many people comparatively. Close to town too. Would stay there again.
