DETAILS: Bask in the tranquil mountain atmosphere of Lake Tahoe’s West Shore at Mallard Cottage, a 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom cottage. Ideal for a family or small group, this home sleeps 4 guests and is part of Cedar Crest Cottages, a historic vacation retreat attracting visitors since the 1930s. Enjoy access to a community BBQ grill and oversized firepit with lake and mountain views. In Summer, stroll to the beach for swimming, boating, and other lake activities, or explore the area’s numerous hiking trails. Winter offers skiing less than two minutes away at the family-friendly Homewood Mountain Resort, with more varied terrain at nearby Palisades Tahoe.

Tucked on the bottom level and filled with natural light, the home’s 2 guest bedrooms offer a restful retreat after adventurous days. The first bedroom has a soft king bed, while the second has a king bed that conveniently converts into 2 twin beds—both feature a TV for streaming movies and shows in comfort. In the hall closet are a washer and dryer for extended stays.

The living spaces are on the second level, with beautiful wood-paneled walls painted a calming sage green and honey-hued hardwood floors. Curl up with cocktails or a bowl of popcorn on the comfy loveseat and enjoy a night together. There’s plenty of entertainment options, thanks to the streaming-enabled TV. To the side is the open kitchen, boasting high-end appliances and a 4-person wooden table with leather chairs, where guests can savor a decadent dinner and swap stories about the day.

Whether guests want thrilling adventure, endless scenery, or a peaceful mountain getaway, Mallard Cottage 5 is a perfect Lake Tahoe escape. Parking for 1 vehicle makes it easy to explore the area and visit Tahoe City for restaurants, shopping, and entertainment—only 10 minutes away.
