Welcome to Tahoe!
Our charming cabin is nestled in among the trees on a large wooded
parcel a few blocks from Lake Tahoe in the little community of
Tahoma. It is child-safe, pet-friendly and smoke-free.
cabin rental amenities
Outside: Our cabin sits on a large parcel (4 lots) so it is very
private. The driveway accommodates 3 vehicles. Decks are on three
sides. The back deck, which is several feet off the ground, is fenced
so that small children and dogs can wander on it safely. A folding picnic table that seats four is stored in the closet near the sliding glass door. The front deck has a picnic table and benches. You will find a BBQ grill and folding chairs available in storage areas. The side deck is covered
for easy entry.
Inside: Our cabin is 1100 sq. ft. and very comfortable. There is
wireless Internet access.
The kitchen has every kind of appliance you can imagine: coffee maker,
coffee grinder (so bring your own beans!) waffle iron, juicer, popcorn
popper, crock pot, salad spinner, cork screw, bottle opener, electric
frying pan (for pancakes at the breakfast table), hand and table model
electric mixer, dish-washer, garbage disposal, microwave, toaster.
There are plenty of big pots and pans, salad bowls and casserole
dishes if you are cooking for a gang. Take the hibachi outside to use
it. There are also staples such as sugar, salt, pepper, spices,
cooking oil, etc. in the cabinets, and of course, dishes. Cleaning
supplies and extras are either under the sink or above the
refrigerator. The range is electric.
There is a washer and dryer as well as a locker for skis and boots in
the entryway.
The living room has a wood-burning stove, but there is also a
forced-air gas furnace, so it's not necessary to tend a fire. The
television includes a VCR, DVD player and CD player. There are a few
videos. There is a radio with a tape recorder. There is a phone
answering machine next to the telephone. Below the phone cabinet are
several informative binders and brochures about things to do at Tahoe.
One bathroom has a tub and shower, the other has a shower. There is a
hair-dryer in one bathroom. There are electric wall heaters in both
bathrooms.
Alarm clocks are in the bedrooms. Extra blankets and linens are stored
in the bedrooms as well. There is a cabinet with games such as
Monopoly and Yatzee in the back bedroom. One bedroom has a bookcase
loaded with novels, and books about things of local interest: trees,
birds, flowers, local history. Writing paper is in the desk drawer. A
chess board is set up in this room as well. There is a box of toys for
a toddler in the bedroom with the crib. There is also a booster seat,
a pack for carrying a baby, and several chairs sized for the under 5
crowd.
Snow Removal: We maintain a contract for snow removal during the
winter months.
activities and attractions in Tahoma Lake Tahoe Area
Walk to a general market with a deli, a pizzeria, a post office, a
coffee bar, rental shops for sporting equipment and movies, and a
restaurant. Also within walking distance is our homeowners' beach and
pier, with buoys that you may rent during summer. Pack a picnic basket
and take a stroll to Sugar Pine Point State Park and enjoy an
afternoon at the Ehrman Mansion, pier and beach.
Our neighborhood park, Marie Sluchak Park and Playground, has a play
structure, picnic tables, and barbeques, as well as a stage with
amphitheater seating. On summer Sundays, it offers church services;
and on Saturday nights, there are free movies suitable for children.
Concerts and day camps are also scheduled during summer months. The
park is available to rent for receptions or parties.
Minutes away by car are Emerald Bay with its Vikingsholm Castle and
Eagle Falls, a part of DL Bliss State Park; Meeks Bay with its wide
sand beaches and shallow warm waters; the Tallac Historic Site with
its Valhalla Boathouse Theater, Valhalla Grand Hall and the remnants
of a bygone era of grand estates owned by Baldwin, Heller and Pope;
and Taylor Creek Visitors Center at Camp Richardson, where you can
watch the spawning run of Kokanee salmon through the window in a
tunnel that runs along side the steam, or take a walk on an
interpretive trail.
Hiking and mountain biking trails offer a variety of terrain for those
who like steep climbs or easy family routes. A bike path goes past
Tahoma north to Squaw Valley or south to Emerald Bay, so pack a picnic
and head off with the family. Or perhaps you'd like to hike a portion
of the 165-mile Tahoe Rim Trail. For backpackers, Tahoma is adjacent
to the Desolation Wilderness.
There are also music and theater festivals, rodeos, parades, arts and
crafts fairs, fishing, horseback riding, rafting on the Truckee River,
parasailing, cruises on the lake, and many other activities available.
Winter offers a wide selection of activities as well, including Alpine
and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, snow-shoeing, sledding, and
ice-skating. Skiing? Tahoe offers a vast selection of resorts. The
closest one is Homewood Mountain Resort, three miles away, where
children 10 and under ski free; but there many others. The bigger ones
are Alpine Meadows, Northstar at Tahoe, Mount Rose Ski Area and Squaw
Valley USA, but there are several smaller ones also. The nearest
cross-country tracks are in Sugar Pine Point State Park; you can put
your skis on at the cabin and walk to the trailhead.
