Cozy, spotless, and beautifully designed—this Tahoe cottage was the perfect mountain retreat with modern comforts. Peaceful location close to the lake, trails, and dining, plus a responsive host who made everything easy. We’d absolutely stay here again.

Good location at West Lake Tahoe. Beautiful outdoor area and landscape was immaculate. Fire pit, outdoor chairs, umbrellas and lounge chairs were great and we used them many times. Our cabin living room was spacious for two people. Kitchen had everything we needed, but the bowls provided were really small. Interior furniture was nice and comfortable. Bedroom was great and bed was comfy. Master bathroom was a little cramped for two people. The guest bath sink was comically small, water gets everywhere, almost unusable.

I'm not gonna lie, I booked this place but wasn't able to stay because of adverse weather. I'm sure it's a decent enough place and all that, but the refund policy isn't the best. All I can advise to others is if you're going in the winter months absolutely make sure you have a capable vehicle of getting there, or dont book until you're absolutely for certain of the weather before hand.
