Relax & Refresh at Rockwood Cottage

We are very excited to share Rockwood Cottage with you. Our two bedroom home with en suite full bathrooms is tucked away in a secluded area not too far from the hustle and bustle. It is a great place to cozy up in front of a fire and watch the sun set over the mountains. There is a full kitchen with cookware, dishes, utensils and accessories. Dining room area with large table to host holiday meals. Each room equipped with fireplaces, televisions, cables boxes and high speed WiFi throughout. In the summer time there is a bbq and patio furniture in the backyard. The cottage is located a short stroll (approx 75 steps) to the lake when you want to take out the kayaks. Heavenly Mountain, Casinos and South Lake Tahoe Downtown Area is 12 minutes away for lively evenings, summer hiking and winter skiing. Northstar Mountain is just under an hour away. Shopping center for groceries less than 10 mins away.

Wonderful stay! Everything you could want & more!
We were very pleased with our decision to stay in this cute cabin. It’s cozy, well kept, and stocked with everything you could need & more. I always come well prepared because you never know what will be provided. I definitely brought more than I needed! We cooked at the house & I was pleasantly surprised by the condition. For example, sometimes you go out for coffee because you don’t want to use the coffee machine or you don’t cook because of the condition of the pots & pans. You know what I mean right? It felt more like a friend had opened up their home to us than a rental. The house is in a quiet neighborhood & the little path across from the house to the water is a special treat. We enjoyed the view and went down to sit by the water more than once. We will definitely check availability for our next trip!

Enjoyed our stay #2
We felt like we were coming home to our own little cottage. The neighborhood is so charming. We went for a swim on the little beach down the road and took some walks. Also took some local trips. I did more cooking this time. There are all the utensils you need to cook a meal. The only thing missing is a ladle. It’s nice to have coffee items supplied. I resupplied the sugar canister for the next guests. Also made sure the dishes were all washed and put away and refrigerator cleaned out. I did forget to log out of my Amazon account on the TV, if someone could do that it would be great. Enjoyed the cheese and crackers as it was the only food we had our first night. We didn’t stop at the store on our way in and the entrance road was all torn up, we were lucky to get to the cottage. Had to wait until the road was completed the next day in the late afternoon to get out to the market. Thank goodness for popcorn! We always try to treat other folks property as if it is our own. Thank you. Deborah and Robert

SUNSET BEACH!
We loved staying here. It was just like the pictures. The beach is super close as well as a Safeway nearby. We really enjoyed watching the sunset on the beach which is less than a block away. Like 3-5 min walk, super close. They had kayaks and all the amenities we were looking for. It was wonderful sitting around the fire-pit at night too. Highly recommend.

Comfortable cottage
What a lovely cottage with so many unique features. I felt at home. Where do I start to explain what I loved most: the stone floor and walls, the welcome gift, the view, the location, fully equipped kitchen, front and back yard sitting areas, the private beach area to watch the sunsets. The neighborhood is very small and quiet. My husband and I have only good things to say about this cottage.

Property not as advertised!
This is a SCAM - We planned a trip after new years for 4 nights. Property said it had two parking spots - one with an EV charger. Got there - both parking spots were INACCESSIBLE. No one shoveled or put salt down for entry. My husband and I had to shovel for 1.5 hours just to try and get in. Pure ice. Didn’t work. No street parking or your car would be towed. Talked to the owner, they said we can have a refund because they couldn’t come and help us get into the property. We left, told them we left, and booked a hotel for the night and called VRBO. 9 days and still no refund. Then I get an email from the owner saying no refunds as the property was still reserved for us. WOW. TOTAL SCAM.

My bride and I LOVED our elopement in Lake Tahoe and especially at the Martin’s Rockwood Cottage. The cabin was a cozy, clean, intimate and PRIVATE getaway. Close enough to all the fun in South Lake/Heavenly, but just far enough to make our drives scenic and romantic. A return trip will be in the works, if the Martins will have us again. Lots of beautiful memories!

Could not have been happier with this stay, it was exactly what we hoped it would be. Yes, it really is less than a 2 minute walk to the water! The host is amazing and made us feel at home, we really couldn't have asked for more and would recommend this stay to anyone.

Rock wood stay
Great location and perfect neighborhood beaches. This is my second stay in this cabin and while we enjoyed our stay the property needed some repairs and wasn’t very clean. The light above the stove was very dirty and there were cobwebs in several rooms. While the air conditioner was an added bonus a screen door on the front door would be perfect to let the fresh air in.

Deep, Rich Character!
This home is incredibly unique. Full of character! Loved using the kayaks which were easily launched after ~50yd portage aided copiously by the included strap-on wheel sets. Made this excursion so simple!! Breakfasts were easy to prepare in the well-equipped kitchen and were terrific to consume while sitting on either front deck (with nice gas fire going for mild heat and ambiance in the early morning) or on the rear patio area. The bathrooms are quite interesting [unique] and require a bit of coordination for full privacy. A few too remote controls for our taste, but everything worked as it should. The home brings the outdoors inside via the use of stone and wood in wonderful ways. NOT a modern "stamp home". This place is a real GEM to experience! Coordinating with Mary was seamless too. WONDERFUL TRIP TO LAKE TAHOE!!

Great property
This property is unique- in an excellent sort of way. It is very close to a small private beach (across the street) and a few steps from a public beach. The home comes with all the amenities- making our stay quite easy. The beds, bed linens, pillows are all very comfortable. It was a great place for our summer getaway and would be equally as nice during the winter. Very cozy! Owners were very responsive to our questions , as well.

Cozy and well stocked
We enjoyed using this cabin as our home base for exploring the Lake Tahoe area. The owners obviously put a lot of care into providing lots of useful amenities. The living room was a comfortable place to watch a movie when it rained. There aren't many restaurants in the area, but the cabin has a well-equipped kitchen for making homemade meals. It would be nice if the owners could provide a map with the arrival paperwork, as finding the place was a bit tricky.

Perfect rustic cabin in the woods
Wonderful rustic cabin! Very clean and comfortable. Great amenities. Would love to know more of the history of this cool little place by the lake. So lovingly and attentively restored. We really enjoyed the fire pit and were able to use the snow shoes for a hike up Chickadee Ridge. We also enjoyed a walk from the cabin up to the top of Cave Rock a few times. Great central location. Thanks for sharing this special place. Hope to return and try the kayaks!
