Tahoe Park Cottage - West Shore Getaway - Ideal for couples or small families

Welcome to the Tahoe Park Cottage, a cozy and inviting 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom cabin with a spacious loft and beautifully landscaped yard. Perfect for a peaceful retreat, romantic honeymoon, or fun-filled family escape.

Inside, you’ll find a queen bed in the main bedroom downstairs and two twin beds in the upstairs loft, ideal for kids or extra guests. The fully equipped kitchen features a gas range, microwave, blender, and everything you need for home-cooked meals, from pots and pans to dishes and utensils, although there is no dishwasher.

The living room includes a television with streaming capabilities, and the loft has another TV, perfect for the kids. There’s also an iPod docking station with a small stereo, and the convenience of a full-size washer and dryer.

Step outside into the backyard oasis, where you’ll find a flagstone patio with a cozy sofa-style seating area, a table and umbrella, plus an additional table with chairs and a second umbrella, along with a gas BBQ, creating the perfect setting for relaxing or dining al fresco under the pines.

Located just 2.5 miles south of Tahoe City, this gem is in the heart of the magical West Shore, walking distance to Sunnyside Restaurant, Firesign Café, West Shore Market, and the lake.

As a member of the Tahoe Park Beach Association, guests enjoy access to
- Two piers and a swim area
- Basketball and volleyball courts
- Bocce ball and horseshoe pits
- Picnic tables with BBQs
- Kids' swing area and expansive lawn space

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the nearby hiking and biking trails, and in winter, you're just minutes from Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley/Alpine Meadows), Homewood Mountain Resort, and around 35 minutes to Northstar.

This home does not allow any parties or events as it is in a residential neighborhood, and quiet time is from 9pm to 8am. Thanks for your cooperation!

The cleaning fee includes linens and towels. You may want to bring beach towels, as those are not provided.

This Cottage has an electric fence system to protect it from bears when unoccupied. Detailed instructions will be given to you once booked. This must be turned ON when leaving the cabin, even if just for a few hours.

We used the cabin as a base for hiking in the Tahoe National Forest. We found it as advertised and convenient to trails on the California side of the lake. Definitely recommend for you consideration.

Great stay

Walkable to beach, grocery store, Spoon, and bike rental shop. On bike paths and near mountain biking trails. A few miles from Tahoe City and surrounding gems in Tahoe (Desolation, Emerald Bay, Meek's Bay) etc. Cozy home for 2. Watch out for the bears! (they are apparently more active in late summer :) )

Cozy little cabin with a great location

The best thing about this cabin is the location. It's walking distance to a private beach. We were able to keep our paddleboard inflated for the entire time and just haul it back and forth. The kids loved the upstairs loft/bedroom --> used it as their own little hideaway. The only thing to be careful of is the stairs to the attic. The adults hit their shins a few times each while the kids had no problem at all. The host is very responsive and was able to get a plumber over to the property really quickly for a quick repair. Definitely recommend this for a couple or a small family stay.

Location is what's special here

Having been a host for many years, I was disappointed with the lack of details that make a vacation property special. Beginning with a lock box (inconvenient, when a key pad lock is much more user friendly) and unclear check-in procedures, to broken window blinds and outdoor umbrellas. Not even a little coffee to get us through the next morning. The only closet space was in a utility closet. Details like that are what make the difference between an okay stay and a memorable one. That being said, the unit was clean and the towels were fluffy and to top the list, the location is great. Having access to Tahoe Park makes up for all this. So, just know that this cabin is basic but located in a very special spot on Lake Tahoe.

Tahoe Park Cottage

My wife and I booked this cabin for three nights for my 38th birthday which happens to fall on Memorial Day weekend. Check in was a breeze, the location is ideal (walking distance to a market, restaurants and Lake Tahoe), and the cabin provides basically everything you need for a few nights stay. Highly recommend!! Pro tip: if you are a shorter person - maybe bring a step stool to get into the bed. It is strangely high off the ground. We just laughed and loved it.

Great location and super cozy cabin

Great place to stay! Gas fireplace kept the cabin warm and toasty. The cabin is walking distance to the corner market and some wonderful restaurants! Would recommend.
