Surrounded by towering pine trees and overlooking Lake Tahoe, this beautiful public beach is the perfect spot for picnicking, sunbathing, and swimming.

Each of these establishments offers a unique dining experience and a variety of cuisine options, making it easy to find something that everyone in your group Hello! We want all of our guests to enjoy their stay in the cabin. Before confirming your reservation, please review the House Rules & Policies below, to ensure our home is a good fit for your guests.
*** IMPORTANT NOTICE *** By proceeding with the reservation and entering the property, Guest(s) and all other persons material to the reservation acknowledge and accept the following Rules & Policies, without exception.
01. Check-In / Check-Out Policy Whenever possible, we will be happy to accommodate early check-in and late check-out requests, within reason. In June, July, August, and during Holidays, this may not always be possible, but please do ask. Unauthorized late check-outs will result in a Schedule Interruption Fee of $150 per hour. The cleaning services cleaning team may not enter the property following check-out, with or without your permission, until all guests and all belongings have vacated the property.
02. Maximum Occupancy The total number of Guests MAY NOT EXCEED A MAXIMUM TOTAL OF EIGHT (8) PERSONS OF ANY AGE AT ANY TIME. Occupancy limitations are governed by City and County ordinances, as well as Fire Department regulations. Violations of this policy place the Property Owner’s Short Term Rental Permit at risk. Should the maximum occupancy exceed the limitations at any time during your stay, an immediate $1,500 per additional person County Ordinance Penalty Fee will be assessed, your reservation will be immediately terminated, and you will forfeit all fees paid.
03. Pet Policy THIS PROPERTY IS EXEMPT FROM PERMITTING ANY ANIMAL OTHER THAN NO MORE THAN ONE (1) DOG. This includes cats, birds, etc., irrespective of their class as a service or support animal. The appropriate exemption documentation is on file with the applicable booking platform. ****** Your dog must be crated if left in the house alone for more than 10 minutes. Guests are responsible for providing the dog crate for this purpose. ****** Barking, howling, crying, and/or other prolonged noise is prohibited at all times, and specifically while the dog is left in the house alone. This neighborhood and the Tahoe Community in general, are VERY sensitive to pet owners who do not pick up their pets’ waste or “leave the baggie to be picked up on the way back”. It is against the ordinances of Placer, Nevada, Eldorado, and Washoe County to leave pet waste anywhere (even in the forest). Due to the sanitary nature of our cleaning service’s responsibilities, an additional $125 pet waste removal fee will be charged if a pet waste complaint is received regarding your stay or if pet waste is found anywhere on the property.
04. Maximum Parking This home allows a maximum of three (3) vehicles. Street parking is not available in this neighborhood and additionally may not be permitted by local laws. Guest(s) accept full responsibility for vehicle damage, theft, fines, or loss while on or off the property. Parking in the garage is NOT PERMITTED.
05. No Smoking Smoking (including vaping) is not allowed anywhere on the property—inside or out. Should a violation of this policy occur, an immediate $500 remediation fee will be assessed, your reservation will be immediately terminated, and you will forfeit all fees paid.
06. Quiet Hours Quiet hours are between 9 PM and 8 AM. Quiet is defined as the absence of voices, music, and other noises anywhere outside of the residence. The County Ordinance Enforcement Officers and the neighboring community are extremely sensitive to the strict enforcement of this policy. Response to a noise violation report may result in a $1,500 County Ordinance Violation Fee. In addition, should a violation of this policy occur, your reservation will be immediately terminated, and you will forfeit all fees paid.
07. Trash & Recycling This is bear country. We love and respect them, and everyone must accept responsibility for keeping them alive and the property damage-free. The Lake Tahoe Community is highly sensitive about the responsible disposal of trash and any type of wildlife attractant(s). Local residents routinely report violators to the local Sheriff’s Department, without warning. Bears that enter a residence, garage, or vehicle are subject to euthanasia by the Department of Fish & Game. Please know that it is against State Law to leave any type of trash or wildlife attractant unattended. Therefore, all trash and recycling must always be securely placed inside the locked metal container (bear box) located at the end of the driveway. Overflow garbage and recycling must be taken off-site by the Guests and never left in a garage, vehicle, near a door or window, or any other unsecured outdoor location. Guests assume financial responsibility for all violations of the law. Local and State fines for improper storage and/or disposal range between $1,500 and $5,000 per occurrence. In addition, should a violation of this policy occur, your reservation will be immediately terminated, you will forfeit all fees paid, and the Property Owners will be entitled to reimbursement by the Guests for loss of revenue due to revocation of their Short Term Rental Permit.
08. Housekeeping and Check Out Practices Your cleaning fees cover a standard level of service, including floors and surfaces, linen changes, and laundry processing. Unlike a hotel, this is a personal residence, and as such, the cleaning fee does not accommodate excessive or unanticipated services not typically required for a residential stay. Thank you for caring for this property as if it were your own. After you check out of the property, there may be a period of time before the cleaning service arrives. Our bears are very motivated by homes with accessible food and trash smells (even when the doors and windows are closed), so we kindly ask that Guests please: (1) Return all indoor and outdoor furniture to their original locations/positions. (2) Leave used beds unmade (no bedding on the floor, please). (3) We appreciate you collecting all dirty towels and placing them near the washing machine - we always love it when guests start the first load when they leave. (4) Secure all remaining trash in the bear box or dumpster provided, ensuring the door is firmly closed and locked. (5) Load the dishwasher with any remaining dirty dishes and start the wash cycle. We don’t want to put any undue pressure on Guests to do our job. We hope you understand because when a bear breaks into a home, they are not eligible for a “second chance” or relocation option (not to mention the damage to the property).
09. No Guarantee of Services Our WiFi and electricity are reliable. Although rare, unpredictable conditions may cause occasional outages (this is the Sierra Mountains). Likewise, indoor and outdoor amenities that are listed in this posting and depicted in the photos are subject to seasonal, operational, and/or functional availability. Interruptions or lack of availability of any of these services and/or amenities do not alter the terms of the Rental Agreement.
10. Security Cameras As a function of our bear awareness, your safety, and the security of the property, exterior-only motion-activated security cameras may monitor the front door, driveway, side yards, and other common areas. Tampering with or disabling cameras is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate termination of your reservation and forfeiture of all fees paid.
11. Property & Property Use This property is for residential vacation use only. Events, commercial activities, subletting, or transferring your reservation to another party are not permitted.

Great Holiday stay
The house was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect for our holiday stay. Very close to Granlibakken and Tahoe City. Everything was as advertised and I would be happy to stay here again in the future.

Great Place to Start 2025
My daughter and I (plus our dog) had a great stay. The house was very clean, well equipped and came with clear instructions. We were in Tahoe to ski and the house location was close to Palisades. Overall, a great experience.
