Craig's Cozy Cabin: Hot Tub, BBQ, Pets

The cutest, coziest cabin in all of Tahoe. Lovingly remodeled to preserve its 1940s charm, this two bedroom gem blends vintage character with modern comfort. Steps from Lakeside Beach, the rec center, pool, bowling, yoga and ice skating rink, it is a perfect home base for easy, family friendly Tahoe fun.

This home has comfortable sleeping & dining for a family of 4. Parking for 2 vehicles in the driveway. This applies 24/7.

Equipped with a beautifully updated kitchen, where mornings start with coffee on warm wood floors and evenings end around home-cooked meals. Granite counters and new appliances make cooking a pleasure, and the kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots, pans, and utensils so everything you need is right at your fingertips. Each bedroom feels like a cozy retreat, thoughtfully decorated with heavy pine furniture, soft quilts, and warm lighting that perfectly complements the cabin’s timeless mountain charm.

The backyard is perfect for Tahoe cookouts. Step outside to soak in the hot tub under the open sky, fire up the gas BBQ for an easy dinner, or gather around the outdoor table as the evening cools and the stars come out. On snowy winter mornings, the front porch is the perfect spot to sip a hot cup of coffee while fresh snow falls quietly around you, wrapping the cabin in a peaceful, storybook Tahoe scene. It’s the kind of space where mornings are slow and quiet, and nights end with relaxed conversations, warm water, and that unmistakable mountain calm.

The living room is made for cozy family nights after a day of Tahoe adventures. Gather around the gas fireplace insert, sink into the sofa or one of the comfy chairs, and unwind with a favorite movie or show on YouTubeTV. Log in to your own Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Sling, AppleTV+, or other streaming service, kick back, and enjoy relaxed evenings filled with warmth, laughter, and together time.

A short walk away awaits Lakeside Beach, and Marina is an excellent spot for summer days, with a free concert series on Thursdays during the summer. There are numerous bike and S.U.P. rental locations near the beach. The bowling alley and the community golf course are both close by, making it easy to mix laid-back fun and outdoor recreation into your Tahoe stay. Walk to Safeway to grab all your groceries.
