Charming West Shore Chalet, Great Location, Walk To The Lake

Come relax at Lake Tahoe in our family’s charming chalet on the beautiful and peaceful West Shore. Our cabin is updated and completely furnished.

Each of the four bedrooms (two upstairs, two downstairs) contain a queen size bed and all linens are provided for your comfort and convenience. Each bedroom also has individually-controlled baseboard heating. The two bathrooms (one upstairs, one downstairs) have been remodeled and updated.

Just bring your food and favorite beverages and enjoy preparing your meals in the modern and fully stocked kitchen. And if you forget to bring something, the local (and newly remodeled) Tahoma Market is just a short drive or a 10 minute walk. They have great sandwiches too! For coffee drinkers or gelato lovers, check out "Where We Met," a cute little (seasonal) coffee shop just down the street.

During the warm summer days you can relax on the deck and fire up the grill while enjoying the serenity of the West Shore, and when it gets chilly outside you can cozy up inside with a roaring fire in the wood burning stove.

A short walk to the beach -- only two blocks away! Provided with your stay is full access to the beach and pier at the Water’s Edge. Also, you can walk or bike to Sugar Pine Point State Park, or hit the slopes at Homewood Mountain Resort less than 3 miles away.

When the weather permits, you can enjoy spending time at Marie Sluchak Community Park—a charming, small-scale community space, located just down the street at the "Y" where Pine St. meets Wilson Ave. It has a newly updated playground for kids, an amphitheater with stage and seating used for summer live music and movies, and a picnic and BBQ area.

Note about our rates:
Our nightly rate includes my cleaning fee. However, Vrbo does charge an additional 14% Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), which is paid to the county, and a guest service fee. I have no control over these two fees and they are not included in the quoted nightly rate.

We also offer a 15% discount for stays of 7 or more nights.

Cozy Cabin

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely cabin! It had everything we needed and was so comfortable. It was very clean and well laid out with the 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. We were 4 adults but this cabin could easily accommodate 8 people. I highly recommend this cabin!

Will definitely be back!

Property was exactly as described and fit all the needs for our stay. There were enough rooms to fit the different families we had traveling and gave everyone their own space. Perfect place for kids! The park down the street was a nice surprise. The set up of the house made it easy to block off the upstairs so the littles stayed downstairs. Communication with the host was excellent. We’ll definitely be back.

Great host!! I would recommend repeat. Great experience, great location, and very responsive. One of our friends’ kids with us was allergic to dogs and the cabin may have had prior guests with pets, that’s the only caveat for people.

Perfect Place on Lake Tahoe

The house is cozy, clean, and comfortable with enough room for our party of 7. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook full meals for our group. The beach access was close and easy. And communication was on point — Tracy called us ahead of our checkin to give us the bear tips. (And btw, we did see two bears in the neighborhood! So cool!) I highly recommend Gary’s cabin!

Tahoma retreat

We had a wonderful time at this cozy cabin in Tahoma. West shore is so beautiful and low key. There was plenty of space and kitchen was well stocked. Bathrooms very nice with heaters which was nice because unseasonably cold in June.The pier and small beach is just down the street which was great. Tacoma market just down the street, has everything, including awesome huge deli sandwiches and yummy burger and coffee shop down the street as well. We enjoyed awesome hikes and paddling at the lake. Would highly recommend- thank you for sharing your cabin with us!

Great cabin!

My family and I stayed here for a little weekend vacation. When we arrived, the trash wasn't emptied out, but other than that the cabin was nice and clean. We also brought some food with us to cook and the cabin was stocked with everything we needed. Communication with owner was easy and all the information was sent a month ahead of time which was great. There was also a checklist in the cabin that made the checkout process go a lot smoother. I definitely recommend this place. It's the perfect size for a family or group of friends to stay in. 10/10 so cozy!

Great spot!

Had a great time at Gary’s place. Terry, the property manager, was very helpful as well. Unfortunately the washing machine broke before our arrival, so we didn’t have access to it during our stay. Terry let us know in advance and both she and Gary were accommodating to our arrival time, even though it was outside the checkin time. The cabin is great! Plenty of room for our group of 8 that spanned infant to adult. Plus a dog. Board games and a well stocked kitchen. It’s close to the lake and multiple state parks. We especially liked Sugar Pine Point State Park nearby. There’s also a playground down the street for the kiddos to run out their energy. Highly recommend!

A great time was had by all

Our group of 8 adults and one goldendoodle had a wonderful time at the cabin. Plenty of room for the cooks, who appreciated the well stocked kitchen, and a large table to do some crafting on. Communication with Gary the cabin owner and Tracy the caretaker/housekeeper was great. Really appreciate Gary's flexibility when a few things changed and then changed again. The heads up from both Gary and Tracy about the bear situation in the area was appreciated. We followed all their advice and had no issues at all. And Tracy's recommendation on where to get Pizza's was spot on. They tasted great. We all agreed, we would stay here again in the future.
