Our cabin's unique round design creates an amazing wood structure with cupola windows at the top for lots of light. All natural beams are visible up to the ceiling! It is a rustic cabin - not fancy or modern if that's what you want but very comfortable with its unique structure and cozy cabin feel. There are two sets of about 12 stairs to the entryway so this allows our great views! The kitchen is not large but does have Great Lake views while you are cooking (only ok for 2-3 people together at one time.)
Meeks Bay Resort has an amazing beautiful white sand beach that is gorgeous with crystal clear water for swimming! There is a lodge, small store and snack bar and for lunch.
In any case...West Shore is the BEST shore!
We know that once you stay at this special place we love, you will want to come back!

Beautiful views in a peaceful part of Tahoe
We loved the views of the lake from the property from both levels. The host was very communicative and left great instructions for how to get the most enjoyment out of our time there. The part of Tahoe it is in is very peaceful and we really enjoyed not being on the busy side of the lake. Everything we needed was well stocked and did I mention the views! The kids also enjoyed the pool table which added mom and dads peace. Thanks for sharing your property with us!

Beautiful views of Lake Tahoe
Had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend at this wonderful house overlooking Lake Tahoe. Close to hikes and gorgeous landscapes. Plenty of sleeping and relaxing space for our group -- the kitchen gets crowded with more than 2 or 3. Just a great place to relax and unwind.

About the host

Hosted by Linda and Robert Tolin

Host profile image
I grew up in Los Gatos then went to UCSD, then UCSB and followed this by going to graduate school at Cal Poly and then stayed in SLO. I met my husband at masters swimming at the local swim center and the rest is history. My dad built a cabin and our family was fortunate enough to vacation there when it wasn't being rented. I grew up going to Tahoe in the summer at Meeks Bay and winter and have loved vacationing there ever since. I now like to share that same love for Tahoe with my husband and two kids. I think Lake Tahoe has a very unique calming and serene appeal that will continue to entice our family and many more for generations to come and enjoy it's natural beauty!

Why they chose this property

This property is in the same area as the family cabin that I grew up vacationing at, so the location has a special place in the my heart. We were drawn to the place because it backs up to the forest and has a unique wood and rustic style on the inside with great views. It is on an upper road so it is further away from noise caused from the traffic areas close to 89 in the busy seasons; it's generally very quiet! You can even hike around the neighborhood and back on some trails forest land. You may want to look at one story cabins if you have very young children (due to two sets of stairs to enter the house and use of the wood stoves for heat.) The benefit of the stairs is the beautiful views from the inside living room and kitchen of the lake!

What makes this property unique

Beautiful Meeks Bay Resort and nice sand beach is just a short walk (10-15 mins) or drive and the stunningly famous Emerald Bay is just 15 minutes away. Homewood Mountain Resort is just 4 miles away. It's feels like you are really getting away from it all but you can still dine at some great spots to eat and go into Tahoe City just a short drive away. When you visit our cabin, you will feel refreshed and totally relaxed in the high mountain scenery with the rustic decor and fresh pine air. In the summer you are very close to Ed Z'Burg State Park (Sugar Pine State Park), and also can easily drive to Bliss State Park Beach or Emerald Bay.
