ABOUT THE AREA

Conveniently located two miles south of Tahoe City, you'll find the quintessential Tahoe neighborhood of Sunnyside. This heavily wooded section on Lake Tahoe's west shore features Old Tahoe style homes and classic cabins. Homes in this neighborhood are all centrally located on between Homewood and Tahoe City.

Just down the road you'll find Sunnyside Resort and Marina and William Kent Shoreline. William Kent beach is situated in a wooded setting and offers picnic tables and grills with views across Lake Tahoe of the eastern shoreline. Next door, Sunnyside Resort is a favorite year round lakeside dining option.

During the ski season, you are less than fifteen minutes from Homewood Mountain Resort. Or travel to Palisades Tahoe (formally known as Squaw Valley/Alpine Meadows) which is the largest ski resort in Lake Tahoe. Palisades Tahoe has a shuttle that runs continuously between the base area of Olympic Valley & Alpine Meadows when both resorts are open for operations, weather, and traffic permitting.

the cabin needs a little work. I understand its an older cabin but the pots and pans are from the same era.

Lovely rustic cabin. One downside is the need to bring almost every household item including toilet paper.

Great, but...
This cabin was wonderful. And if it had been any other time than August, I would have only amazing things to say. But... I would have really loved to have read a review like this before I stayed. We stayed in the cabin in mid August and there is no AC. If you look closely at the listing, "AC" is not checked, so you should know that going in. However, it is hot. And I mean so incredibly hot, we had to leave all day and only come back at night where it was still 88 degrees. And upstairs it's even hotter. The fans only circulate the warm air. And while nice they have them (they are portable not in the ceiling), they don't help much when it's in the high 80s inside the cabin. It bakes. We had a really hard time sleeping because it was so hot. Anyway....we would totally come back here again - just never in the summer when it's above 75 degrees outside during the day. This cabin is lovely - and so charming - and I am in no way trying to bash the place. But it needs to be said. Our mistake was not realizing there was no AC ahead of time. So I'm saying it now to make sure everyone is aware. So, there it is. Now you know :)

A little slice of Tahoe heaven!
Comfortable, cozy and well appointed. With spacious living areas. Beautiful, serene back deck with a running stream adding to the ambiance. The neighborhood was quiet but at the same time close to everything. Hiking trails at the end of the street were amazing! This cabin has everything you need for a week stay! We hope to be back!!
