The Bear's Den Cabin set on a huge lot, lots of room to play!

We are expecting a great winter season-book your 2026 ski trip now.
Mid Week Discounts!
The owners created the "Bears Den" at Lake Tahoe with family's looking to explore and play in Tahoe in mind. A complete makeover allowed the owners to add a total "Tahoe Package" to this home. With vaulted pine ceilings, cozy river rock wood burning fireplace, full Spectrum TV package, a very private deck with a hot tub, a pool table/air hockey game(small size), and log and pine furniture throughout this is exactly the Tahoe get-a-way you have been dreaming of! The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans, plates and bowls etc, most everything you need to cook a family meal.

Located in an quiet and secluded area of South Lake Tahoe this home is minutes to Sierra @Tahoe, Heavenly and Kirkwood. Fallen Leaf Lake and Echo Lake are just minutes away as well and all the glitter of the heart of South Shore's famous casinos are 13 minutes away! Lake Tahoe Golf, Tahoe Paradise Park just minutes away (or ride your bike to the park).

Take a stroll down the street and hike into the Lake Tahoe back-country and Desolation Wilderness. If you love to ski, snowshoe, cross country ski, sled, mountain bike, hike or just goof off this is your next vacation destination. By the way, we provide all linens including flannel sheets, cozy comforters. It truly is all right here at "The Bears Den".
The house has vacant lots to the back and the side-lots of room for the kids to play or if we have enough snow to build a snowman.

"Snow" much fun & Relaxation

Amazing great living room space to all sit by fireplace. Pool table with air hockey and table top ping-pong and able to play music from tv. The hot tub was clean and the most relaxing time at the end of the day. The rooms were cozy and spacious for us all. The kids enjoyed the bunkbeds, very comfy, they said. Many board games options and puzzles. This has to be our new favorite place to stay. Especially since we were able to bring our dog. Definitely coming back again any time of the season.

Winter Getaway

Overall the management team for the property was great and very communicative. The property itself was fine, the neighborhood was nice, it’s conveniently located right off highway 50. The house wasn’t anything exceptional, it’s showing some wear but all in all we had a good time.

Cabin in the woods

The cabin was convenient, there is a small water heater so we struggled with 5 people taking hot showers. We also had bear encounter opening 3 of our car doors in the driveway. the cabin was clean, and decorated nicely. The hot tub was a nice addition.

Bear’s Den

The home was exactly as described. Great location, very clean, and had the basic necessities. I would just recommend whoever is going next to bring some extra towels with you, and shampoo/conditioner/body wash and a hair dryer. Also if you plan to cook then bring your own spices (s&p, cooking oil, etc.). Bathrooms are a bit outdated but otherwise, great stay!

Everything was great. Only thing is the deck area needs some attention. The railing and fence is falling down and is unsafe. And screws are popping out of the floor.

September Bears Den Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at this property for the last three years and plan on coming back next year. The management team is professional and always responds promptly when we have any questions or concerns. We love the location and feel like we are staying in the forest, especially since the property does not have neighboring properties directly to either side and to the rear. The house is well equipped with everything we need and is always clean when we arrive. There are clear and thorough instructions for checking in and out and for the stay. We love this place!

Great location and big space

Overall great place that comes as advertised. Comfy beds, lots of space, nice neighborhood. Some minor things arethr kitchen doesn't come with any supplies (oil, sugar, salt & pepper, coffee filters), which was a bit annoying to discover the first morning, and the place is a bit dated, but we would definitely stay again. Communication with the property manager was great. Kids loved the convertible pool table even though the cues are busted and the table is pretty warped, and the air hockey portion doesn't work very well.
