Charming Cabin one block from Lake Tahoe

8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (29)
"When booking this property, the pictures included a deck with chairs and the Lake framed beyond it. There were no chairs and no deck. The pictures did not capture how tiny the room was - yes, there is a loft with a chair and a twin bed. But the main room is smaller than a standard hotel room, the "kitchen" is in a closet. The only sink is in the bathroom. For the cost particularly it was a disappointment. The wood paneling is lovely."

Welcoming Home with Deck & Private Hot Tub - Dogs OK

7.2 out of 10, Good, (134)
"When arriving the bearmat was disconnected. When entering the house know there is no air conditioning so if you are sensitive to heat I wouldnt reccomend staying. The floor of the living room was heavily scratched. The deck of the balcony should be checked because some boards are loose and could be a tripping hazard. The hottub had to be reset many times over the course of our trip but was fine over all. The place is very worn down, with doors, cabinets, and tables being scratched up too.The...

"The cabin is 4 bedrooms and compact. Space is used creatively and the cabin accommodated our group perfectly. Easy access to Kings Beach, Tahoe City, mini golf and trails. Owner was responsive and easy to chat with. I would definitely recommend this cabin. The kids loved the karaoke machine and we loved relaxing on the deck with the windows and doors closed so we didn't have to listen!"
