And when the day's adventures are over, come home to a crackling wood-burning fire, a private hot tub, and a fully fenced backyard where the kids and pups can play.

Your Tahoe Home Base



Thunderbird Cabin is conveniently located near Meyers, with easy access to Tahoe's year-round activities. You'll find great local restaurants just minutes away, including Frescana, Meyers Downtown Cafe, Getaway Cafe, Sombreros, Divided Sky, and more.



Golf lovers are close to both Tahoe Paradise Golf Course and Lake Tahoe Golf Course. Skiers can reach Sierra-at-Tahoe in about 20 minutes or Heavenly in approximately 15–20 minutes, depending on traffic and weather.



In warmer months, enjoy hiking, mountain biking, swimming, boating, fishing, and beach days. The Upper Truckee River is about a 10-minute walk away, and many of Lake Tahoe's beautiful beaches are approximately 15–20 minutes by car.



Think of Thunderbird Cabin as your launching point for everything Tahoe has to offer.



Plenty of Room to Relax



With 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, Thunderbird Cabin offers plenty of space and privacy for families and groups traveling together.



The primary bedroom is conveniently located on the main floor and features a king bed, TV, and a spacious ensuite bathroom with two sinks, a jetted tub, and separate shower.



Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom with a tub/shower combination.



Front bedroom: Two queen beds and a TV.



Back bedroom: A triple twin bunk bed and a full bed, plus its own collection of fun, including Golden Tee and Asteroids arcade games. It's a kid's dream retreat!



With three full bathrooms, getting everyone ready for a day of Tahoe adventures—or winding down for the evening—is a whole lot easier.



A full-size laundry area is also available, making longer stays especially convenient and giving you a place to dry those wet ski clothes, muddy hiking gear, or sandy beach towels.



Cozy Up After a Day of Adventure



Step inside and you'll find a warm, comfortable living room centered around a wood-burning fireplace—the perfect place to curl up after a day on the slopes or a day exploring the lake.



French doors open to the backyard, bringing in the mountain air and making it easy to keep an eye on the kids or four-legged family members.



There's a flat-screen streaming TV, plenty of comfortable seating, and even a Pac-Man arcade game for the young and young at heart.



The dining table seats six, with additional seating at the kitchen counter—perfect for family dinners, game nights, and sharing stories about the day's adventures.



The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare a family feast, including granite countertops, a gas stove, toaster oven, ice maker, and Ninja coffee maker.



A Backyard Made for Tahoe Memories



One of the best features of Thunderbird Cabin is the large, fully fenced private backyard.



Let the kids run and play while your pup enjoys some freedom, relax in your private hot tub, stretch out in the hammock with a good book, or challenge the family to a game of cornhole.



Fire up the propane BBQ on the deck for an easy summer dinner, then settle in and enjoy the mountain evening.



Inside, you'll also find a variety of board games, card games, and puzzles for family game nights.



And yes—your dog is welcome! We love that Tahoe adventures are even better when the whole family can come along.

Very clean and comfortable accommodations. Peaceful and quiet neighborhood. Enjoyed the hot tub and our dog loved the back yard. She did however find her way to the street under the deck and luckily was quickly discovered MIA. We did see a black bear and several coyotes across the street one evening.

Wonderful home and yard

We planned a last minute weekend trip with the dogs and couldn’t be happier with our choice to stay here. The home was clean and had an enclosed backyard for the dogs to play. The checkin process was easy and the management company was very responsive. We are looking for dates to stay again next year.

Great house for a ski trip to Heavenly

My friends, dad, and sister stayed at 1760 Thunderbird for a ski trip to Heavenly, and we had a wonderful time! The house had everything we needed for cooking and gathering. We had a wonderful dinner using the kitchen to make pasta and salad, and afterwards, we used the living room space to all watch a movie together. We'd definitely stay again!

Great stay with a small surprise

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great property. Awesome stay. The only issue was there was a dead mouse or a dying mouse in the middle of the floor in the master bedroom. We used a shovel and threw it outdoors.

Great place to stay!

The home was clean and up to date. I would definitely stay here again. We came up for a weekend getaway and had zero issues. We left a day early due to weather and the possibility of being stuck in Tahoe - no fault of the property. Shared pictures of our trip with other family who all commented on how nice the property was. No complaints. Thank you.

Fun stay!

We went for my daughter's birthday it was nice to escape the city and create memories. Everything during our stay was amazing. Only minor issues were the hot tub didn't work. Was told I would receive a credit back. The driveway is very steep. If you go while its snowimg ensure you have a vehicle that make it up the hill.

Overall happy, great spot

Overall happy with our stay. There’s a river nearby that is walking distance and you can hang out at. My only complaint is that the place could have been more clean. There were cobwebs in bathroom ceilings and the patio was covered in leaves and cobwebs. It takes a minute or two to use a leaf blower to clear the patio for guests, and it would have made all the difference.

Perfect for us! Would come back again.

This place was a great overall stay. We were a group of 6, and there was plenty of space for us. Our pups loved the spacious backyard, even though the weather was not so nice for us. Perfect for those looking to hit the slopes and those who want to sit back and relax in nature. We really appreciated the EV charger because the cold does drain our battery much faster. Rooms and bathrooms were comfortable. Loved the video game machines. Just watch out if you have your dogs in the yard, there is space under the deck and an opening that they can wiggle through and get out onto the main road. We would recommend and definitely come back again, hopefully the weather next time will permit us to use the hot tub!

Great property for dogs

This property worked great for our 5 adults and three kids. Kids loved the zip line and arcade games. Our labs loved the back yard which was very large. The negatives were pollen all over patio furniture made it close to unusable. The jacuzzi was very dirty and we didn’t use after day 1. There is also a gap in the backyard fence under front gate that dogs quickly discovered and got out. Overall we liked the property.

Great house, good location for us- not right on the middle of busy south lake. Home was clean and spacious. Fenced backyard was a bonus as we brought our dog. Found some fun trails at end of the court. Would stay here again. Bummer the hot tub was not working. That was one of the reason we chose the home. Property manager said missing a part and they would refund our hot tub fee. That still has NOT happened.

Thunderbird Cabin - South Lake Tahoe

This was an average property in comparison to many other vacation rentals we have stayed in. - Inside of the house was clean. Beds comfortable. - My husband had to pick up dog poop in the yard upon our arrival so kids could play disk golf. - Outside patio tables and chairs very dirty. - Upon arrival outside hot tub was cold. No instructions left to get it functioning - no return phone call when we called to inquire. - Outside decorative hanging lights burnt out/not functioning - Hand Soap dispenser in downstairs bathroom empty - Nice & easy location to get to many places we wanted to visit in South Lake Tahoe! -Kids appreciated the video games Many personal touches we have experienced in other rental missing - hence the average review. It was a decent place but for the price expected more.

Nice location, needs better maintenance

We were there for the weekend of Labor Day for 3 days; property in a nice location. Cleanliness to discuss; urine stains on corners of sofa in the living room. Pet friendly is accurate but needs more cleaning. Master bedroom comforter with stains; got another one from the other bedrooms; dubious if sheets were changed before our arrival in the master bedroom. Body hair noted on the sheets, which had holes. Staircase from the garage to the house was dirty; we had to use the broom first before going in the house. Backyard is catering a lot of junk as well as the garage. For the price we paid, this should be organized!

Great home

We loved our stay! The driveway is definitely a challenge but the property manager was a great help and got people to the house asap to help clear driveway. Definitely be prepared with chains though - we would recommend not arriving late because it would be a challenge to navigate driveway in the dark or late at night. Chains or snow tires definitely needed as driveway is more steep than appears and we had challenge even with chains but once that challenge is cleared, the property is great!! Lots of games to play, tv and streaming service was working and awesome, property was in great shape and felt comfortable & clean with enough space to be comfortable and have a good, comfy & cozy time. Property manager Michelle was very responsive and super helpful! We had fun playing games inside by fire and playing in the snow in the large backyard. The driveway is steep but made a great little sledding hill for the teens- we had a blast (use caution of course!) We had a great time! Would recommend!

Basic House in Good Location

This Tahoe house was in a good location for access to Heavenly. It was large enough to accommodate the 6 of us comfortably. Having said that we were less than satisfied with the home. First, while we were notified more than once that we needed a 4W drive for the very steep driveway due to ice, we were not notified that even with a 4W drive, the driveway may be actually unusable. We have a 4W drive and our car not make it up the steep driveway which was super icy. In fact our car slid down it. We had to park barely in the driveway at the bottom- just shy of the entrance to the road. That meant we had to carry all our luggage up the steep driveway on the ice and down at the end of our stay, not to mention hiking up and down the driveway each day when we went skiing. Treacherous. We constantly fell. The house had no staples like salt and pepper. The TV remotes in the rooms were nowhere to be found. The was a fireplace with wood, but nothing to get it started (so we had to go to Safeway to buy some kindle/fire starter). If you're a cook, the kitchen will disappoint. There was one large frying pan - nothing for smaller items; and several decent pots. No kettle (even one for the stove) if you want tea (had to use a pot). No dishes to use in the oven (like a casserole dish). One cookie sheet. Dinner plates for 6 when the house accommodates 8. No hot pad, except one kitchen mit. Only 2 dishtowels. Only 2 wine glasses. Very basic kitchen utensils. Having stayed at many VRBOs, this house was so basic it was not funny. We will never stay at this house again.

Great neighborhood, awesome yard

Great neighborhood and awesome yard, but room for improvement. There’s always Pros and Cons for any home, and this one was a 3.5 / 5 for us…a few things I’d recommend the property manager or owner review and re-consider. Pros - 1) huge fenced yard with tons to do… frisbee golf, slack line, spa, patio table 2) great bedroom layout for three couples or families to comfortably sleep. 3) appreciated the Tesla charger in the garage. 4) nice quiet neighborhood with a trail at the end of the court I wish we noticed earlier as we would have gone for a longer walk Cons - 1) kitchen was *very* sparsely stocked…there wasn’t a single water glass in the cabinets…everything was a wine glass or martini glass or a coffee cup. Shocked to see no glassware and very few pieces of silverware. Very few basic stocked groceries - no salt or olive oil, etc. No pooper scooper noted for dog poop pickup. Things we expected to see but weren’t there. 2) no working ice maker on the fridge . Water worked on the fridge door but the ice did not. . 3) new spa outside but it had a horrible plastic smell when used. … too much chlorine or something? 4) bath towels and toiletries (ie shampoo) were cheap quality and no hair conditioner or body wash was provided 5) home could use a few repairs - dishwasher makes an awful noise when opened, dining room rug corner is taped down to the ground with blue tape, a few window blinds are made of cheap ripped paper or look like they melted, etc. 6) two sofas in family room would be small for a large group staying at the home for movie night. 7) security cameras mounted outside are understandable but don’t provide guests with privacy when in the spa or using the backyard…makes you feel less comfortable / relaxed when you feel like you’re being watched. I guess we expected a few nicer things at this price to make the home more comfortable…a few small changes would make it feel more homey. Side note - when we arrived, the door code was incorrect, the garage code wasn’t shared correctly (# vs enter), and the home was super cold inside when we finally got inside. Would suggest a better process for arrival.

Great Stay at Thunderbird

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice home, great location. Wintertime driveway can be a challenge, I had to shovel ice off driveway to access home easily thru garage, too much snow and ice on front door entry area. Recommend ice melt be made available for renters. House/kitchen was well equipped. Should replace worn out rugs, Blue tape holding rug down dining area is very Tackey. Several of the shades are missing or damaged, those should be replaced as well. Loved all the games, Packman was a big hit. Also recommend rugs at entry way to put shoes etc.... We did not think Beds were very comfortable, was happy we brought our own pillow. Hot tub was nice to relax in evening. The owner was very responsive when we had trash issues- thank you!!!Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this unit.

Great location

Very beautiful home located in a quiet neighborhood. It has a Tesla charger in the garage so it made it more convenient for us. It is equipped with lots of board/table games/arcades, no one was ever bored! It’s spacious, comfortable and cozy! The hot tub works well. The 3 bathrooms make it more convenient especially if you have a big family! The fireplace and all the accessible apps on the tv made our stay special with lots of unforgettable memories made and family bonding. The kitchen is well equipped with pots/pans/dinnerware/silverware. The only thing I didn’t like really is the very steep driveway. With snow, it’s no fun driving in and out of the garage with the steep, curved driveway. Overall, all expectations were met and we had a good, comfortable stay.

Well-equipped house in peaceful woodland neighborhood

We had great communication with the property manager who let us check in early and was quick to respond to any questions during our stay. Big spacious rooms comfortably slept 5 adults and we enjoyed the hot tub and games on offer in the house, as well as the cosy fireplace. We cooked every night but did bring a lot of our own cooking utensils, though the kitchen would’ve had most things we needed. Room for three cars on the drive was super helpful too. Would stay again, summer or winter!
