If you are looking for XC trails you are less than a 10 min drive to the North Tahoe Regional park, or if you are feeling extra adventurous you can access their trail system from Tiger Ave just above the house. This same trail system is great for hiking and biking in the summer. With its easy access to town, ski resorts, golfing, and the lake, this cabin is a great home base for the ultimate Tahoe getaway any time of the year.

Just okay
The property is in an excellent location and it has a nice yard and deck for pets and enjoying the outdoors. Everything else was okay. It was way too hot in the afternoon and evenings. The sliding glass door has no screen and with pets, cannot be left open; not to mention all the beetles that would've come inside. There were only 2 small pans to cook with. The larger one was scratched up and unsafe to use. Granted we were visiting when it was between 85-90 in Tahoe, the cabin was too hot to use the oven. Once on, the shower is nice. However turning it on is very difficult; needs new fixtures. We were only supplied 4 washcloths for a family of 4 for 6 nights. More were brought to us, 24 hours after the initial request. Other products, soap, trash bags, toilet paper, etc, was well stocked. My biggest complaint is with Vrbo. The price, cleaning fee and service fee is way overpriced for this property. Also, communication with Local VR and Vrbo with my reservation details was terrible. I changed the reservation from 7 nights to 6, before we arrived but I have still not received a price adjustment after many documented requests. I had to take the issue up with my bank to argue on my behalf because they stopped communicating with me.
Overall, if you are looking for an okay accomodation in an excellent neighborhood that accepts pets, this works. But please book local, not through Vrbo who financially screws you.

Cute Cabin
Love staying in Kings Beach. We choose this house because of the size we needed for a few days. It was perfect for 4 people - 2 being kids that could use the bunk bed and also the on-site pack 'n play. The door to the 2nd room didn't close because it barn door was off the track so the door had to stay open which was okay for our needs. Loved having an enclosed yard that was great for the dog. Kitchen was stocked with dishes, but we didn't have any oven mitts to use taking things out of the oven and only one dishtowel so next time I'll bring some things. If we were staying longer I think I'd prefer a place with a dishwasher and a washing machine but otherwise it was a nice stay for us.

Fall Getaway Weekend
We came to Lake Tahoe to celebrate my wife's birthday, do some hiking and catch some fall colors. The Mt. Airy Cottage was the perfect base from which to do those things. Easy walks to the lake and restaurants and short drives to lots of trailheads. The cottage was very comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. I highly recommend it to others and hope we get a chance to come back again.

Great location
The property is in a great location. The front yard deck is very nice in the evening. The refrigerator went out the first night we were there. However, the management company quickly resolved the problem with a new refrigerator and credit for groceries no questions asked. There’s bound to be a problem when renting a property. The management’s speedy remedy with a kind attitude made all the difference. The cabin was well described and well stocked. We hope to stay there again next year!

Great little place with perfect location
This place worked well for our family with 2 young kids and a dog! Note it is quite small and no dining room table (can sit at cute bar stools). Kitchen is small but very well stocked. Other thing to note is no dishwasher! Very dog friendly! Great location as only 5 min walk to beach with amazing views on Lake Tahoe!
