Overview

Serene and quiet, you'll love this humble home right by the calming waters of Lake Tahoe. Pack up your favorite bathing suit and swing on by Ed Z'Berg Sugar Pine Point State Park and set up on the sandy shores with a beach towel and a good book. Gaze out at the mountains in the distance and enjoy this one-in-a-lifetime vista of Lake Tahoe and take in its turquoise waters as you dip your feet in the tides. Truckee River Rafting is less than six miles out where you can bring your family and friends and ride down the winding rivers in this incredible rafting experience!

Relax on the family/dog-friendly Tahoe Pines beach with loved ones and enjoy a sunny day out. Take a trip to the top of Eagle Rock, just a mile out from your vacation rental. Also available in the summer/fall is the gorgeous Tahoe Pines Gnome Village, tucked right near Barker Creek. The trail that leads up to the village is a local hotspot and a fan favorite of families. Play some fun yard games out on the leveled-out and large lawn, or take a much-needed nap in the hammock that rests in between the aspen trees. There's a private balcony as well that gives you the best seating around for a fantastic view of the sunset. Let the morning sun shine onto your skin on the back deck or rest for a while under the shade.

Inside this sweet home away from home, you'll be glad to see its welcoming wooden interior decor, giving it an instant classic cabin-like feel. From the forest-inspired furnishings to the full island kitchen, there's a little bit of something for everyone! Whip up a hearty meal for all of your guests. Take a walk out into the woods nearby and stroll alongside nature as the snow gently falls. Return back to your vacation rental and warm up beside the fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa in your hands as you huddle by its warmth huddled in a soft blanket. Relax your muscles and let yourself doze off into dreamland.

Wonderful house for a relaxing week in Tahoe!!! 🌲 Just as described in the photos and description. Aspens and pines in the yard and neighborhood create the most peaceful setting. The hammock is also 100000/10! Access to the dock was superb, too. All that being said… WiFi was unreliable, there was dog/pet hair all over all the linens, couches, and blankets, and there were odd necessities like trash bags missing. Lastly, the property management company is not good and notorious for not being responsive so just be aware of that going into your stay. It’s a much worse and more cumbersome experience than just booking direct from a real person/family. Assuming nothing critical goes wrong, I still think this place is worth staying at. It’s a peaceful home away from home.

We had a special request of scentless products for linens and towels and the management went out of their way to make this happen! Some of the hand soaps, etc, are scented bust seem to natural and organic and thus tolerable. Communication with management was great. The rental is better then described and is quite magical!

Avari response:

Thank you, John, for sharing your experience with us. We're so glad we could accommodate your special request for scentless products, and it’s wonderful to hear that you found the hand soaps to be tolerable. We strive to create a comfortable environment for all our guests, and your feedback reassures us that we’re on the right track.

It’s fantastic to know that you felt the rental exceeded your expectations and that you found it to be magical. We truly appreciate your kind words about our communication as well. Our local team is always here to ensure that every detail is just right for your stay.

We would love to welcome you back anytime for another memorable experience!

We loved this cottage style cabin! It was located in a great neighborhood and the property was adorable. It’s was perfect for my family of 4. Easy walk to the lake and doc access. We are looking forward to staying here again!!

Great property, horrible management company

We stayed here in early April with our newborn, choosing it despite the high price to avoid inconvenience. The property itself was excellent—well built, with a strong HVAC system that kept us warm during a snowstorm, and great bathrooms with heated seats and endless hot water.

Unfortunately, the management company (Avari) was extremely slow to respond. The dishwasher & washing machine didn’t work, and since we were indoors the entire time, this was a major issue. It took about 6 hours to get a response, and while someone came to check the dishwasher, it was never fixed. The washing machine wasn’t addressed at all.Cleanliness was also poor—dirty floors, pet hair, and itchy sheets, which made it hard to live with a baby.

Not to forget, it’s been 14 days since the stay, we have not been refunded despite they mentioning they’ve sent it, Airbnb declined. They’re just trying to pass the review window. Absolutely horrible management company.
